kabe1: Now, just one rpg hitting that vehicle and they are all gone. Watched a video of Nigerian soldiers attacking bokoharam and most of them were trying to stay behind the armored vehicles deployed, the officer with them was telling them to use natural cover instead because those armored vehicles are easy targets and if they explode?!...... |

jln115: Understand the context sir Why do you think I stated this specifically The Russians were pioneers of this combo. "High off bore missiles coupled to hms" - mig29 |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 1:51pm On Apr 12, 2020 |
nemesis8u: South Africa was the first to design and operate HMD/S that allowed for off bore attacks on its mirage F1s However Russia are the pioneers of short ranged high off bore missiles. However the V3A AAM was also integrated with a HMS as early as 1971 But yeah I get you point now ![]() 2 Likes |

jln115: Yeah I know , the Soviets were impressed with SA innovation and found it very effective in Air combat. Credit for HMS lies with SA. 2 Likes |

nemesis8u:Back in the late 80s SAAF actually bought Russian AAMs to test wether they could be integrated with the F1, this was due to the delay in production of its V3C missile 3 Likes |

nemesis8u: One more question for you Sir. Why do Russian made SU-30SM, even export models carry Thales HUD while, the SU-35, SU-57 and other Russian fighters have Russian HUDs? I thought Russia is under sanctions from the EU? I noticed Armenian and Belarusian SU-30SM use Thales. |

jln115: And I would like to clarify from my end that the idea of coupling off bore missiles with HMS is originally a SA idea . They tried with previous iterations of v3c before succeeding with v3c ( within desired performance ) . The Russians perse should not have the credit . What they had was a successful combo r73 and shchel 3um hmd on mig29 which got famous all across the world. Hence they get the credit albeit wrongly. 1 Like |

Right? especially when we have no idea what led to this, but automatically it has to be over the virus. Watch the video, and you see the other black guys are even pleading on his behalf, saying "Please" to the attackers, if am to guess, I'd say the man was suspected of committing a crime, i mean, no one in that vid is even wearing a mask jln115: 2 Likes |

kabe1: Let me answer in a generalized perspective User requirements In the case of foreign customers : The end user after trials etc deems the Russian system not upto their requirements so they mandate an alternative foreign system. Sometimes the end user for the sake of ensuring commonality across different platforms in their fleet opts for common systems to cut down costs , training headache , maintenance hassle etc In the case of OEM themselves It's simple because it means their own system ain't at par or not available so they opted for foreign one. As to ur specific question Russian offers their customers the option of customisation as per their needs. Eg IAF uses Israeli HUD on su30mki due to possible reasons I mentioned above. Afaik Russians use own hud on their own aircrafts. I could be wrong though. The general public feeds on information which is fed to them . Nothing ain't that simple . We don't know doesn't mean that it is not happening. Sanctions mean nothing if a said country is not serious about it . USA might have beef with Russia but that doesn't mean all European countries have a bone to pick with Russia but nevertheless have to support the sanctions due to geopolitical obligations. EU is a conglomerate of nations representing common interests but some nations might not deem it to be in their national interest to break all bridges with Russia. They would want some leverage with Russia and so they " help " russia wherever possible within being too overt about it and without explicitly compromising the EU stand. Eg all modern T series tanks have french supplied thermal imagers . Supplies for maintenance etc r still continuing without raising too many eyebrows. Ironically the same T series tanks will form the bulkwark of the Russian armoured thrust if they decide to invade Europe ![]() National interests triumphs all international obligations 3 Likes 1 Share |
