Why do Russians paint their aircraft while Americans mostly keep theirs grey?
>>65220493Russian enemies have blue skies, so their jets are blue to blend in.American enemies have gray skies, so their jets are gray to blend in.
>>65220493This nigga don’t know about magram
Because Russians do not have a serious militaryThe west uses grey because the paint is designed to reduce emissibility and to reduce radar reflection and is decent against the horizon in visual bands.Russia uses blue because they act like it's 1960 and they think visual camoflauge from the ground against the sky has any real value in an age of thermal cameras.Drones use white because it's the lightest color by weight, some stealth drones use black because it absorbs more wavelengths.
>>65220493daytime only air force, please understand
>>65220501>Russian enemies have blue skiesTrue.https://youtu.be/SAa4teWb0rU?si=mgpP1UxEJuSYlavO
>>65220493Sky blue has a very special meaning to russians.It's why VDV berets are the same color as well
>>65220493US uses special expensive paint that they continuously reapply to provide better stealth. Russia is way to lazy, cheap, corrupt for that kind of shit.
>>65220838Does modern regular grey dope for shit like F-15 and F-16s actually have any radar absorbing properties?I thought that was just the RAM used on the actual stealth planes
>>65220849No. RAM paint isn't used for that, wouldn't be useful for that and doesn't really work that way anyway. This thread is filled with bots. This whole board is filled with bots right now. I have no idea what's going on.
>>65220493Pic related is an unpainted American aircraft.
>>65220984>>65220849The F-15EX Eagle II uses RAM paint.
>>65221292What a slut
>>65220493Don't know about the Russians, but the US paints its planes grayish because of studies they did in the 60s and 70s that showed that dull grayish colors are the best for camouflage.
>>65220493They're only good for air shows so they may as well paint them in pretty colors.
>>65221297Yet the E doesn't. Almost like there's no point using RAM without design accommodations.
the ukrainian ones look better
To hide the screws.
>>65220493Because blue is luckier.
>>65220835How is it that everything in Russia is so gay?
