Radar Lock can be detected. how? here how it is; Radar have two mode of operation. scanning mode and tracking mode.

in scanning mode, the radar seeker head swerve left and right illuminating everything in the fighter's forward arc. in this mode, any objects within the radar arc were illuminated periodically. it's good enough to give you the tactical picture, but not accurate enough to guide a weapon.

Then there's tracking mode. in this mode the radar seeker head point on a specific target. in tracking mode, the radar can only detect and track one target and the radar seeker head will continuously point on the tracked target and follow it wherever it goes until the pilot break the lock (there's Track-While-Scan, but that's beyond most of you and i'm too lazy to explain it).

here's how pilot know they were being locked. before lock-on, the radar warning receiver will detect the radar in pulses as the radar on the enemy fighter scan left and right periodically. Whether the radar wave that's bounce of your fighter was strong enough for the enemy radar to detect, you will never know. that mean's you know there's a radar pointed at your aircraft but you don't know wether it detect you or not. When the enemy radar lock on you, the radar warning receiver will give a long continuous tone like a buzzer. That's because the radar seeker head no longer swerve left and right but instead it pointed at your position and will stay with you wherever you fly.

There's no fully reliable way to detect a Heat seeking missile. recently, the american have developed a Missile approach warning system. it combine a heat sensor and a series of milimetric wave radar systems positioned throughout the airframe. The heat sensor will detect the plume from missile rocket motor and the milimetric wave radar will then track the missile as it approach the target. Not sure how effective the system is.



IR jammer originally is a system that transmit a pulses of IR emission. it has something to do with the early IR missile seeker which involve a rotating rectangular mirror. if i were to explain to you how this type of missile seeker work, it'll take several pages of article which i'm to lazy to write and you all too lazy to read. suffice to say that when IR seeker are not centre on target, it'll get pulse IR emission from target and when it center on target it'll get a continous IR emission from the target. IR jammer use the IR pulses to fool the Missile seeker into thinking it's not centre on target yet. But as the IR seeker are moving from traditional "Mirror Base Single Element" into more advance "CCD Base Multi-Elements", the pulse jammer are no longer effective. The laser jammer design to overwhelm the seeker only serve to give the missile extra IR energy for the missile to lock on to.

I disagree. Dedicated attack helicopter are Indispensible in a modern highly mobile battlefield. even a few of this may influence the outcome of a battle.

You need a lucky shot to bring down the attack heli with those. It's not just you have to hit a rapidly moving target, but attack heli have armored cockpit, armored glass and a whole set of redundant systems. you have better chance with HMG.

In both cases, the helo was able to land safely even after such a severe damage. The one the farmer shot down, notice there's no superficial damage to it. i suspected that the bullet hit something that light up the warning light in a cockpit.

Also you should add this.

Bijan also got it too when he's a Defence Minister, even Mahathir got it.

We already aware of this. even RMN admitted it. Collins was long endurance design intended to operate alongside the US nucs. It can range as far as the Kamchatka Peninsula and back. Scorpene was design as a littoral patrol submarine design to operate in local waters. Sadly, scorpene can still imroved on the sensor suite. The Sonar is inferior to the one on Collins. But my vote goes to Oyashio and Soryu. When Soryu operational, it'll be the most technologically advance conventional sub in the world

He carry a Kukri and use it. Only Donnie Yen are crazy enough to take on 40 armed robbers with a bare hand.

If I do this, The robbers family will sue me for "acting out of character".

Maybe they'll open up Military service to the immigrants as a shortcut to Australian citizenship, just like the American does.

I heard they suffered severe problems with russians spare and replacement parts. often, russians refurbished the used parts and then branded it as new.

even if they licence build, many parts are still need to be imported from Russia, like engines and radar.

I was amazed at seeing how Anwar Sadat sabotage his own country for his own end. The best army led by the best generals, are destroyed by their own incompetent dictator.

Military are the only real power in the ME. whoever command the loyalty of the army will have the command of the entire nation. every arab prince spend sometimes in the Military Academy with intention of courting the loyalty of the military.

inb4 she was raped by a Policeman.

Man who run high on adrenalin can withstand multiple taser round. Police taser only have one shot. maybe we should also supply our police with stunstick.

Maybe we should buy 18 F/A-18E and ask US for discount on E2 or E3 as part of the package.

depend on what kind of datalink our MKM use. Russian datalink or french.

what's the title of this book?

Strange though that India, a democracy, can lag behind Communist China economically.



India conventional military outnumbered and outgunned Pakistan in almost everything.

We got KS-1A right? that should've covered medium range.

I'm glad he complain though. Sure make Tony Pua look stupid but it kept the government from freely swindling taxpayers money.

I got some unconfirmed info from a friend. those 3 guys behind the pirates are not PASKAL member. they are just stand-in actor. Don't know where they came from. maybe a ship crew.
