ANIMATED MAP: MILITARY SITUATION IN SYRIA’S ALEPPO CITY NOV.17, 2016 – DEC.5, 216



SouthFront Analysis and Intelligence

we've had the damocles for quite sometimes already.
but yeah, it's quite a surprise RMAF managed to combine both. it's either our engineers somehow managed to break the source code or both US and Russkies gave us their source codes. Not many countries managed to combine US arms and Russian plane or US planes with Russian arms, with exception of Iran of course.
Even PTU also told press that he said too much already

if we get Rafale can use Damocles pod also.
anyway Damocles pod many military analysis said it is not very good pod due to scan area are only 320x320, other figther jet manufacture reconn pod may may have 640 or 800 scan area. also Damocles NG (new Generation) pod currently in develop & testing by Thales and estimated ready in 2018, Damocles NG will have 1024 scan area.

if not mistaken we got 3 types of targeting pod

I mean, they wouldn't have a reason to launch those missiles in the first place, maybe overheat due to desert launch causing self ignition?

Marhalim deleted his post article. No longer there.

he edited oredi.. even part of PTU saying he told too much oso has been removed. shud've screen shot it yesterday

yup the even the title on fb newsfeed b4 it got edited tells way2 too much

Yes thats why I'm not terribly thrilled
The Typhoon pod is said to be better (I think its RAPTOR?)

I think he edited it and put it back up by the time I rechecked

The part about using Damocles to drop Paveway is gone

Either
1) we really did and its top secret or
2) we dropped a Russian LGB not Paveway or
3) we dropped Paveway but didn't use Damocles

Hmmmmmm

if not wrong Typhoon use LITENING pod，new one LITENING pod have 640x480 resolution. but it make by Rafael Corporation/Northrop Grumman (We can use on F18?)

Yeah that's the one
Impossible to use lar then
sigh.... Damocles NG it is.

In the comments MA insists he heard Paveway not LGB and he deleted it because he was warned of "operational concerns"

Someone also pointed out we have KAB-500L already though.

Paveway IS LGB. it's sort of a trademark any way

the next generation pod, thales talios right now is being tested on rafale

Russian Tankmen to Spot Enemy 10 Km Away With New High-Tech Drone

The new generation of UAVs capable of flying up dozens of meters in the air will allow Russian tanks to scan areas almost 10 kilometers away.



The new generation of UAVs capable of flying up dozens of meters in the air will allow Russian tanks to scan areas almost 10 kilometers away.

The Zavod Electromash plant in the Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod has created a unique stealth robotic system capable of detecting unmanned aerial vehicles, Zavod Electromash spokesman Valery Pyatkin told Sputnik

The Pterodaktyls, attached via cable to Russia’s advanced Armata T-14 tanks, will carry thermal night vision gear and radar and will considerably increase the distance at which the tank crews can spot targets.

“Tank operators are unable to see far away and improving their visibility is something our engineers have always tried to do. Conventional drones don’t fit the bill because they need to be steered. The new ones are attached to the tank via a cable power and video information goes through and are more efficient,” said Nikolai Kim, who is a professor at Moscow’s Aviation Institute.

“Each time the tank crew needs additional information, like, for example, when surrounded by the enemy, they send the drone aloft and then to bring it back,” Kim explained, adding that the Pterodaktyls can have peaceful applications as well.

“Tethered drones can be deployed at stationary positions where they can spend hours protecting areas where observation towers are hard or impossible to build.”

Nikolai Kim said that a new generation of self-contained UAV’s capable making their own decisions, were now being developed in Russia.

“In another first, we are going to have several drones working in sync ensuring observation from different angles, diverting, attacking and acting like human beings,” Nikolai Kim said.
