Petarvu Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Its look like one of "Khibiny" type pod. Thanks, never seen it on any other a/c than Su-34..I don't know why but it looked bigger on Su-30SM. Also I see Su-30SM is armed with short R-27, I am more used to see long (deep throat ) versions on Flankers.. P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Shumway Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Found this on the RuAF in Syria Facebook link above, Bort White 22 Don't know if the tail number is RF90983 but it looks to be fresher paint with shorter white on the nose than my recently finished Fencer. http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=287078 So many variations on RuAF aircraft year to year. This one seems to have artwork on the port intake. John I have always loved the look of the SU-24 Fencer. Yes, it's essentially a Russian version of any equally cool now retired US aircraft the F-111 Ardvark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If something was shot down and a -29 chances are it was Syrian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChesshireCat Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thanks Scooby....I'm sending a sternly worded letter to Putin at the moment. :woot.gif:/> It is interesting there is a rule/law about such a thing. apparently most folks fail to realize that those little laws (ideas) mean very little in real world combat. You do whatever it takes to get the upper hand. It's not just the Russians, but just about everybody on the planet when it needs to be done. gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

International laws dictate it. Removing national insignia from their aircraft is a blatant violation. I suspect they did it as they didn't have permission to fly over several of the countries they flew over enroute to Syria. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I extremely doubt that. Shortly before transfer of aircraft to that base a government Tu-154M visited atleast Baghdad. This was probably in order to facilitate an agreement to use the airspace when overflying with aircraft destined to Latakia. I am sure Iranian's allowed for them to overfly, they have done so previously without any issues. It had more to do with them wanting to keep the whole operation under the wraps until they were ready to reveal it themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Yes there are deviations from the rules of combat but they are still followed for the most part. International laws dictate it. Removing national insignia from their aircraft is a blatant violation. So is stripping your regular troops of all insignia and sending them over the Ukraininan border to support seperatists.

Removing national insignia from their aircraft is a blatant violation. Plenty of pictures out there of unmarked US aircraft deployed in the mid-east. I wouldn't get too worked up over this.

Horrido Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Anybody been following since the Russians parked the Moskva off the Syrian coast? http://www.businessinsider.com/it-looks-like-russian-warships-may-be-shutting-out-israels-air-force-access-to-syria-2015-10 And is the Moskva out there alone, or is it part of a larger battle group including what ships?

Berkut Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Post Paris attacks Russia are stepping up their involvement and now they are using long range aviation. It appears they also launched a mythical new cruise missile called Kh-101 against targets in Syria from Tu-160. It can seen at the start of the video; More information and summary here; http://eng.mil.ru/en/news_page/country/more.htm?id=12066124@egNews Increase is seen on top right although it says "on territory of Russian federation" which makes sense for Tu-160, Tu-95MS's considering they are using cruise missiles only anyway but not so much for all the others.

Jinxter13 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Seeing CIS, US, France et al, in a somewhat combined effort to me is a good sign that formerly opposing sides can work toward a common goal for the good of all; with ISIS boldly announcing that they had executed citizens of China and another nation doesn't seem Phi Beta Kappa...they've got enough folks hunting their heads, adding more to that group isn't what I'd call cerebral.
