Flankerman Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) What type of pod is this? Looks like an buddy air refuelling pod... Is this one the UPAZ?http://maks.sukhoi.ru/media/photo/maks2007...s2007dxz127.jpg BTW, the text in blue says "Star" EDIT: This cant be UPAZ, the nose isnt cone shaped, am i right? It is UPAZ - the pointy end is at the front. UPAZ is a Russia acronym for 'Unified In-flight Refueling Pod' It is made by the Zvezda company - the same people who make the K-36 ejection seat and survival equipment. Not to be confused with Zvezda the kit makers.... :blink: ....or Zvezda-Strela the missile make, nor Zvezda the Russian newpaper Ken Edited September 2, 2007 by Flankerman Link to post Share on other sites

Waco Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Oh. Joy. More UCAVs. Боевой беспилотный летательный аппарат МиГ â€œСкатâ€. Scat? They named their UCAV, Scat? What, are they taking their lead from Boeing and the Growler? Okay, so I know its not the literal translation, but it made me laugh as I read it. Link to post Share on other sites
