UNIAN: Aerial reconnaissance of the battalion Dnipro-1 has spotted Russian military equipment on the border with the temporarily occupied Crimea, the regiment's press service reported on Facebook.

It is noted that the aerial reconnaissance began patrolling the territory of the occupied peninsula.

"Large numbers of equipment and weapons have been spotted. In particular, a system of trenches, mortar and shooting positions were discovered along Syvash Lake. At the checkpoint Dzhankoy there were spotted 23 units of military equipment and three helipads. In addition, 38 units of military equipment were discovered in Armyansk town," a statement reads.

Japan's F-2 beats China's J-10 in aerial combat: blogger



The Japan Air Self-Defense Force's F-2 multirole fighter would have the edge over its Chinese counterpart, the Chengdu J-10, in an aerial encounter, defense and security blogger Kyle Mizokami says in a piece for National Interest published on Oct. 13.

The territorial dispute over the Diaoyutai islands (Diaoyu to China, Senkaku to Japan which controls them) in the East China Sea has increased the chance of close aerial encounters between fighters of the two sides, Mizokami wrote. He said Japanese patrol aircraft had already been intercepted several times by PLA fighters in the region after China declared its air defense identification zone over the East China Sea toward the end of 2013.

While Japan's American-built F-15J fighter will engage China's Russian-built Su-27 for aerial superiority, the Mitsubishi F-2 is more likely to go head to head with the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's J-10 since both aircraft were developed as multirole fighters with aerial combat as well as ground support capabilities.

Overall, Mizokami believes the F-2 has the advantage over its rival in an aerial engagement. First, the F-2 has a superior combat radius — 520 miles, compared to J-10's 340. Second, the F-2 has a better active electronically scanned array radar than the J-10. Picking up the J-10 first, the F-2 can launch a AAM-4B from beyond visual range, he said.

The AAM-4B is currently the only missile in the world fitted with active electronically scanned array radar, he added. Because of the missile's after-launch target lock capability, the Japanese pilot could begin evasive maneuvers even before achieving radar lock and the J-10 could be shot down before it is even able to engage.

Mizokami admitted one advantage of the J-10 over the F-2 at close range, however, as the latter is not fitted with an infra-red search and track system.

It has been said many times. Russian do very much like what US did in first Gulfwar. Why? No money for smart weapons? No. it's stock clearance.

What is so surprise? Malaysia has been a favourable spot for facilitators of terrorist activities for decades.

no, if you read it correctly the quote "In September 2013, members of ISIL killed the Ahrar ash-Sham commander Abu Obeida Al-Binnishi, after he had intervened to protect a Malaysian Islamic charity; ISIL had mistaken its Malaysian flag for that of the United States."

nothing said about terrorist in malaysia

It cheaper plus unlike US which have a law to minimize surrounding damage and casulties. Russian does not apply the same rule

That why the saying for russian operation style

Terroist 10k

Civilian 5k

Total body count 15k

Mission sucessful

f16 vs su27? sure bo... besides j-10 pla also have got j-11

‘Drop-and-Forget’: Russia Develops Supersonic Smart Bomb



The KAB-250 is a follow-on to the larger KAB-500 PGM, which made its combat debut in September in Syria. There are two versions of the 250-kilogram KAB: a laser-guided version and a satellite-guided version.

Based on the “drop-and-forget” principle, the KAB-250 guided aerial bomb incorporates the latest advances in science and technology, including the experience of its KAB-500 predecessor.

The inertial guidance system directs the bomb towards the target area. Two to three kilometers from the target the bomb’s onboard computer commands the thermal homing head to acquire the designated target.

The KAB-250’s thermal homing head then compares the acquired image with the reference picture laid down in its memory before discharge, and corrects the trajectory so that the radius of the deviation does not exceed three meters.

The KAB-250 has a fragmentation warhead designed to destroy lightly vulnerable materiel, thin-skinned vehicles, and other enemy installations. The bomb can be dropped individually or in salvoes.

The KAB-250 is 10.5 feet long, weighs a total of 565 pounds, with a 365 pound warhead and a 200-pound explosive.

It has a complex, compact tail design and is fitted with four long-chord, short-span wings to increase its glide range. It falls from an aircraft at a rate of 655-1,150 feet per second.

The KAB-250 can be used in all weather conditions and time of day, with different trajectories and speeds of several Mach number. The aerodynamic wings and close to neutral alignment munition provide high maneuverability and greater range.
