The Vietnamese People's Army locked a 9M31 Strela onto a civilian airliner while showing off the system on national TV.
It demonstrates the system works, so as long as you dont pull the trigger then who gives af?
>>65635363kinda based?
>>65635363yeah they tend to do that
>>65635363Who's airliner?
>>65635363Working as intended then
>>65635363>locked a missile onto a civilian airlinerEveryone does that, anonjust minus the>while showing off the system on national TV
While on the same topic, Vietnam successfully reverse engineered the S-125 and revealed it to be as the TLDK-35.
>>65635415Not bad. Impressive, even.
>>65635363>it craves the forbidden heat signature
>>65635423Truly, the streets are saying it's their fourth one and it was manufactured in 2026
>>65635363Look but don't touch
>>65635363That's what Strelas are for anyway
>>65635363A time honored US Navy tradition
>>65635363Thats what the manual says to do
Only big kids club can shoot down a civilian airliner
>>65635363US Air Force used to boresight AGM-65s in flight by locking them onto prominent landmarks, usually notable civilian buildings. I think that's officially discouraged now but it's by far the fastest way to do it so...

>>65635363When will Vietnam manufacture smoothbore and rifled musket reproductions like Miroku did?
>>65635378not ours
>>65637749You got to get a bunch of investors to either build the factory or convince the party that you can offer them enough revenue to justify switching or adding a production line at the existing gun factories.
>>65635378Probably Malaysia Air again.
>>65643606You're a total poser and no one cares about your problems
It doesn't look like it did. It's just edited footage.
>>65635371Yep, its like aiming a rifle at civilians, who cares as long as you dont pull the trigger?
>>65635371Civilian airliners tend to be easier to lock onto than modern airframes.
>>65635415It's a decent missile, but it would've been better to put it on a truck TEL, instead of static mount.
Went to see if there was an official report or news on it and instead got....Likely just an edited thing.
>>65637749Ottoman musket with serpentine lock spread via Central Asia before the Portuguese spread the arquebus snaplock via the ocean route.
do civilian airliners have alarm systems in the cockpit to notifcy the pilot that they are being targeted by radar guided weapons?
>>65646724why would they?
>>65646749to warn of the USS Vincennes' presence
>>65646749In case a nation wants to commit a funny war crime.
>>65646749it seems like a low cost and easy insurance for very dangerous threats given the proliferation of manpads and kikes who supply shitskins all over the world with them
