Just thought I'd ask if anyone has a 1/32 Tamiya F-15E strike eagle bunker buster release for sale in Europe. If anyone has, PM me
Cheers

The Tornados flew many operations using CBU 87s and I was tod they used them for SEAD sorties. There are quite a few photos of the tornados armed with 4 CBU 87s in the early days of the conflict.

Ok I've had this idea. I am going to try and make a super F16I Sufa from using the 1/32 academy Sufa kit and the 1/32 Tamiya F16CJ block 50 kit. I've looked at the top fuselage half attaching to the bottom Tamiya fuselage half and the match is quite close. There are just simple things which would need some surgery. Other than this, I think it's quite readable, that these two kits could be combined to make a super detailed Sufa and a very accurate one. Parts needed of course would be the PW small mouth intake, PW burner can, flame holddr and engine cowling using a resin set. The CFT set can obtained with the wider front wheel of the block 52, the block 52 wheel bay door and the wider front wheel stut. All these parts come in a CFT set from Greece. The top fuselage if course has all the antennas, humps and bumps in the academy kit and the Tamiya block block 50 has the heavy landing gear. I think it's a very viable project. The reason of course I want to make a Sufa in is way is the Tamiya kit is far superior than the academy kit in detail. All these Sufa special features like the large underwing tanks and all this is in the academy kit.
So I thought I'd throw the idea out there and see what people thought? Obviously an expensive way to make a Sufa but a great way to make the most accurate version with the best detail.
Sp let me know what people think of if anyone has tried it.
-
Just going back on original topic. Is it possible because of the reasons explained about only being able to carry 3 GBU 54s per side, would they also use the unused pylons without GBU 54s with dum bombs such as mk 82s thus using all pylons on the aircraft?
-
Recently a post was made explaining why the strike eagle was not carrying more than 3 GBU 54s on each side whilst currently on operations against terrorist groups in Syria. I came across an article stating the that this had been changed and the US strike eagle is now able to carry 6 GBU 54s per side as the problem that had prevented this had now been fixed. Can anyone cast any light on this? From what I read it appeared the US strike eagle had undergone modifications to rectify the problem
Cheers
-
Can anyone tell me if the RAF used the CBU87 cluster bomb in Op GRANBY to take out SAM sites prior to receiving the ALARM missiles?
-
Yes exactly right, the buccaneers did. The RAF rushed the TIALD pod, the Paveways and the ALARM missiles all into service at that time.
Yes that is a good website.
-
The British used Mk 117/13 dumb bombs since the 50s. That is what the RAF started op GRANBY with and it was about a week or so into the war that they started using the paveway As they only introduced the TIALD targeting pods at the same time. But the RAF only had about 5 TIALD pods, so one tornado carried the TIALD pod and he did all he target paining for the rest of the tornados with the Paveways.
-
I thought that the Mig-23s loaded for ground attack missions would be protected by other Mig-23s in the air to air configuration.

Thanks ben

Hi all
Not sure where to post this, but I was wondering if anyone knows if a 1/32 scale Catalina flying boat kit exists?
Thanks
-
Yes I'd agree. I said that in a previous post.
-
Yes that's right. One SA3. These Islamists are backed by very rich people. A monthly salary for a soldier is about 50 US a month. If an officer gets offered thoudands of dollars to sell off some military hardware, they do it in a flash. A large percentage of military hardware that is imported to these countries never sees its way to the mi!itary. It just gets filtered off to the highest bidder. Huge amounts of serious weaponary is believed to have been captured from the Syrian army such as up to 30 MBTs, APCs, Artillery pieces, anti-tank weapons to mention a few.
It was even reported in most newspapers around the world about the possible possession of the SA3. I lived in the middle east for 10 years and everything works on corruption. In my job I was paying off police on a daily basis to get things done and it was accepted by the company I worked for as a work expense. Money in that part of the world makes it go round. Anything is for sale at the right price due to the corruption. No doubt they buy mi!itary hardware from corrupt mi!itary. This part of the world is just the wild west..
The sheer amount of serious military hardware that has been captured by these islamic groups is unbelievable. Tanks, APCs, anti tank weapons, artillery pieces and the list goes on. At one point they were rumoured to be looking for fast jet pilots. So God knows what they have.
So my friend laugh if you wish, but if you have never visited a country in the middle east, I encourage you to do so.
-
Also they say the pilots keep their AKs in the compartment of the seat where the inflatable boat usually goes? Would that make the weapon hidden from view in the cockpit or would you be able to see the AK in the seat of you were you looking at the seat?
-
They would have weapons. Maybe just hitting small desert areas doesn't bother them and they are keeping stuff for adding day. They said the Taliban were beaten,that turned out to be untrue. Weapons don't just disappear. it is even rumoured that ISIS may even have SA3s. But if ISIS do have these weapons, then flying at higher altitudes is a good idea. Then this just makes using precision munitions a better option. Especially even stand off munitions.
-
It's said that ISIS has the following man portable ground to air weapons and ISIS shot down a Mi-35 chopper with a stinger in 2014
9K32 Strela (russian made)
9K38 Igla (russian made)
Hwasong Chong (north Korean)
FN6 (Chinese made)
FIM92 (good old stinger) (US made)
And they reportable have AZP S-60 AAA gun (russian made)
So I think there is a very real threat to aircraft attacking ISIS Targets. Plus remember when ISIS took over Ramadi in Iraq, the Iraqi troops just did runner and left all their equipment behind including M1 Abrams tanks. So who knows what ISIS captured from them.
-
Exactly. So why not use precision guided munitions? That's whst I'm asking
