>NBC News confirmed that an Iranian F-5 fighter jet successfully conducted a bombing run on Camp Buehring in Kuwait, penetrating layered American air defenses despite the presence of Patriot missile batteries, short-range interceptors, advanced radar coverage, and persistent regional surveillance networks>According to U.S. officials cited in reporting, the Iranian F-5 approached at low altitude and executed what was described as a “dumb bomb” attack, bypassing Patriot systems and short-range air defense networks that were expected to create overlapping interception zones.
>>533907458>china outplays american electronicsNothin personnel, darpa.
>>533907458those are mig 28s
>>533907458Iran has some great pilots considering the hardware they have.
amp Buehring in Kuwait occupies a central role in U.S. military logistics architecture because it functions as a major staging hub for force projection, sustainment operations, and pre-positioned combat support for American operations across the wider CENTCOM theatre.https://defencesecurityasia.com/en/iran-f5-breaches-us-patriot-shield-gulf-base-damage-operation-epic-fury-billions/https://defencesecurityasia.com/en/iran-f5-breaches-us-patriot-shield-gulf-base-damage-operation-epic-fury-billions/

The Pilot: Mathias Rust, a teenager with only about 50 hours of flight experience.The Route: Took off from Malmi Airport, Helsinki, flying to the Soviet border and proceeding to Moscow.The Landing: Due to crowded conditions, he landed on a bridge near Red Square (Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge) rather than in the square itself, subsequently taxing close to the Kremlin.Soviet Reaction: Despite being tracked by radar and intercepted by a MiG-23, the plane was not shot down. It was mistaken for a friendly aircraft or, due to confusion, allowed to proceed.Aftermath: Rust was arrested and sentenced to four years in a labor camp for violating flight laws and "malicious hooliganism". He was released after 14 months.Political Impact: The incident humiliated the Soviet military and allowed Mikhail Gorbachev to remove high-ranking conservative military leaders who opposed his reforms (perestroika and glasnost).

>>533907758>muh humulation>On 10 March 2022 at 23:01 CET, an unidentified Soviet-made Tupolev Tu-141 reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) crashed in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. With an unidentified operator and unknown destination, the origin of the drone is presumed to be connected to military actions during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The drone's flight over Croatia, Hungary and Romania (all three being NATO states) prompted criticism of the countries' defense systems as the UAV was detected but not cleared.>Operator: Undisclosed>Proclaimed state secret by Croatian, Hungarian and Romanian governments.
>>533908006flying low in the middle of an area filled with AD is not easy. Flying some B2 50k feet is.
>>533907458>IT'S AI>IT'S IN REVERSE >FRIENDLY FIRE>GHOST OF KUWAIT >IT ONLY HIT THE MAIN LAUNDRY ROOM confirmed by CENTCOM(™)
>>533908170It spent 5 minutes in our airspace and we detected it before entering.If we were to fire AD at it, it would've gone into Hungary and they'd still kvetch about it to this day.The drone was operated by Ukrainians and packed with explosives. It didn't crash, that's where the coordinates dictated it should hit.It was an act of terrorism conducted by Ukraine to force Croatia out of its neutral stance just like when they used an S300 on a bunch of Polish farmers.
>>533907630nice bait 80s boy, got any polaroids?
>>533907630kek
>>533907630They do look fairly similar, but those are clearly F-5s. The long nose, the more slender wing root fairing, and the geometry of the tail. But you could easily mistake them. I think they used F-5s to look like the MiG-28 in the movie Top Gun too.
>>533907630Kek.. very low-key bait
>>533907458>You can just do things.
>>533908324you're not allowed to think like that, not to mention talk or post itdelete this now
>>533908324This poster LOVES Russian dicks and RUSSIAN CUM.
>>533907961I'm usually not a fan of soviet aircraft designs but you just have to love little ekranoplans, they're so adorable and seem so fun to ride around in. The negative dihedral and the massive fricking winglets making that little inverted gull wing design makes them too cute. I kind of want one. I don't even know what I'd use it for. They're terrible on fuel usage.
>>533907458And when was bombing supposed to take place?
>>533908736>I'm usually not a fan of soviet aircraft designs but you just have to love little ekranoplansNice try Ivan. Those Ekranoplans were built through POLISH and UKRAINIAN intellect anyways.
>>533908814Alright then I want a polish or ukrainian tiny ekranoplan.Happy?also mfw I'm like 1/8th polish, I guess it's in my genes or something.

>>533909330They delete comments, threads left and right over there. I get that they're trying to fight shill spam but it's really hurt the board. You can catch a ban just for making a comment in a thread someone doesn't like and reports. Same on a lot of other boards. This is not your uncle's 4chan.
>>533908324NiceUkraine is a lost cause. The Rothschilds are living on borrowed time. They will be the target during WW3. No matter how many false flags they throw. They have too many fingers in too many pies
>>533908231if some brainless camel-fucker can do it, believe me schlomo. it's not even that hard
>>533909926Lol sameI made a comment about how after watching all those drone strikes on unarmed soldiers, that I wanted Ukraine and it's backers to lose horribly. I got a 30 day ban
>>533909957The problem is that they have their own armed groups protecting them and those are actual professionals not weekend soldiers like the EU armies.
>>533909822I mean, you get drag issues from the shear wind over the surface you're flying on, and you can't efficiently transfer energy into forward speed by using the road like a car would or the heavy mass of water like a boat would. Hydroplanes help solve this issue a little but it also means they can't be multiterrain. At least with hovercrafts you can idle in place, and hydrofoils can act like boats, with an ekranoplan you must have ram air or you stall making their low speed fuel economy total ass. That being said of course, an ekranoplan could have a much higher top speed than either a hydrofoil or a hovercraft and can go on multiterrain. As long as it's not too obstacle filled.
>>533909687I like the concept of whisker wings that are both hydro-foils and wings.Dip the foils into the water before the hull has to slap waves.
>>533910316Ooo I never heard of these, now I have to look them up.
>>533910031actual most famous Arab-American USGI of Korean War.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_JabaraWorld's first jet-on-jet ace (Nazi jets only shot down prop planes).Picrel: Only Arab-American Korean War USGI portrayed by Jewish TV producers during its 11yr run.
>>533910419I like the idea of skis on shocks to take wave impact.Better yet, make amphib landing gear where the cover doors sit in front and gear retracts/shock-absorbs rearword and up, so the covers could also act as skis, and only a bit of tire showing when fully lowered. I guess the cover doors would also bust brush if needed in rough landing strip.
>>533907458Americans shall be happy that they have the best aircrafts in the world.Even 50 yo can be used in the modern battle field against modern AD
>>533907458very cool air planes
>>533911111this thing was really cool. Sadly had many of the same issues of the ekranoplans when it was landing and taking off phases. Too much sea air, heavy waves always eating it. It was a cool idea though.
>>533911111Nice
Any good /k/ threads i could lurk to farm some delicious cope tears?
>>533911258floating logs are always a big problem for seaplanes, due to also needing light, weak hulls.It only takes one, sooner or later, to really ruin your whole day.SF Bay used to have a Seaplane Harbor and part of that was a floating barrier to keep logs out and special boats to "mine sweep" for logs.
>>533907458The F-5 or a spiritual successor is exactly the kind of fighter aircraft we need. None of this F-35 "650 million dollar lifetime cost" malarkey. Even if the the F-35 may be on paper superior quality, for the same price as buying one F-35 we can instead have 40 to 50 F-5's. 50 F-5's will always be more effective air dominance than 1 F-35. We could be flying hundreds of thousands of F-5's rather than the pathetic 2800 F-35's which were planned. Low cost aircraft combined with expendable pilots and high throughput pilot training programs is the winning strategy. F-35's and all this high tech bullshit only exists to enrich MIC grifters. Reject the F-35 and return to the F-5 as God intended.
>>533911111i'm honestly surprised places like japan of northern europe didn't opt for ekranoplan type of craft to optimize their civilian ferry fleet
>>533908440Bruh, Mig-28s don't exist. He was obviously referencing the movie.

>>533911800I was being sarcastic anon. Though, I guess I'm not very good at sarcasm.
>>533911785prob is they can't operate anytime the chop gets choppy, which is like 3x a day.its like the reviews I'm reading about "regional airlines" in Fly Over States. 1/2 the time the flight is cancelled because some plane can't show up because of weather somewhere else.
