Usual weekdays of the 5th US Navy, good photos.

[Lech from ZATULINKI]

Yeah, and at the same time propaganda of the AMERICAN MILITARY POWER - hold on to the enemies of democracy if you do not have it, we will come to you.
After all, everything that is shown in the pictures is OFFENSIVE WEAPONS — who is the US going to attack who is next?

[Professor]

After all, everything that is shown in the pictures is OFFENSIVE WEAPONS — who is the US going to attack who is next?

Offensive? All? Yeah ...
Reconnaissance UAV Scan Eagle
-Flying ambulance
helicopter MH-60S Sea Hawk
-container lift for difficult terrain -the epic of offensive weapons
Continue?

[Lech from ZATULINKI]

Professor, with all due respect to you, I can’t agree. All of these gadgets are part of the Peleliu airborne landing forces on duty group and part of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Force (15 MEU) that is, an offensive unit.
CONTINUE?

[Professor]

all these bells and whistles

Let's continue. Not everyone. Point your attention to flying ambulance and container lift for difficult terrain

[Lech from ZATULINKI]

the equipment for saving the life and health of the American military is excellent (but still it is secondary)
I'm more interested in what this detachment is doing in this area - what are its goals and objectives.
What is the task posed to the F18 Pilot aircraft — as I understand it, the scenario of a possible attack on objects in SYRIA or IRAN is being worked out.

Point your attention to the flying ambulance and container lift

Well, it looks like a "screen" ...... behind which you can hide anything!
Professor, you are certainly a very gifted person, but the majority of members of the forum, as they say, "on treason" .... So ... Whatever you show will be met ... to put it mildly .... NODOROZHENNO. Respectfully.

[Professor]

Well, it looks like a "screen" ...... behind which you can hide anything!

Really export gold party?

Whatever you show will be met ... to put it mildly .... WARNING

If at least a couple of people think and learn something new for themselves (for example, that there is a container elevator for difficult terrain), then I have reached my goal.

[755962]

Quote: professor

off-road container lift

Somehow it flew out of context ... Excuse me. But this machine (container lifter) interested me personally! You can review it ... But only without "politics" .. I always appreciated your technical awareness. I am waiting for an article or translation. And about flying hospitals also !
But just not a mosaic like today. See what kind of reaction .. Regards.
Review +

[Professor]

But this machine (container lifter) interested me personally! You can review about it .. But only without "politics" .. I always appreciated your technical awareness. I'm waiting for an article or translation. And about flying hospitals too!

Good idea, look.
At the expense of today's mosaic format, if the administration does not mind, then I will try to do it once a week or two, you need to know what they (the USA) are doing there.

But only without "politics".

Is there a word about politics or epithets "the best in the world" in at least one article I wrote?

[755962]

Quote: professor

At least one article I wrote has a word about politics

Well, I deliberately put this word in quotes ... No offense. Many people here perceive reviews on foreign technology as ... a "challenge", if you like. There are no questions about the hardware itself. And I completely agree with you.

Quote: professor

you need to know what they (USA) are doing there.

I am always interested in your reviews.

[lazy]

it is a squid and in Africa there is probably a squid in almost every Russian port (in Vladik, for sure), "container lifter for the port area"

[Professor]

squid he and in Africa squid

There is one, but not for rough terrain.

[karbofos]

and what is your goal. to convey to us that you are a fan of America and a democratic, universal human way of life? and in general, America is building only good peaceful weapons, and the insidious Russia (Putin) wants to seize the world together with China and establish a totalitarian regime in it. I officially inform you that I learned about lifts for difficult terrain. the goal is reached, you can go home to the usa, the protector of the Americans.

[Kyrgyz]

Here again, the professors were attacked, and he did post material on the site, unlike the mass of information slag, maybe he has sympathy for those to whom the majority has antipathies, so we have freedom of opinion

[Uncle]

Quote: Kyrgyz

Here again, the professors were attacked, and he did post material on the subject of the site

I agree, the Professor does not say any sedition, so why vent your anger on him? It is interesting to read articles and notes of the Professor, which cannot be said about some of our respondents. Completely driven into gray tones. Well, if the Professor was an agent of influence, as many believe, he would have acted much more cunningly, we would never have guessed about the authorship of the records. So I urge members of the forum to be more objective in their assessments.

[Professor]

what is your goal

Our goal is communism, and my struggle against ignorance. However, in your case it is not curable.

I officially inform you that I learned about lifts for difficult terrain

So far you have only learned such a word, but I’ll write an article about them (and now I’ll write it for sure) then you can also learn it. Do not forget to prepare properly with criticism of the Swedish and American container lifts for difficult terrain, such as all this bullshit, for cutting money, nobody needs it, etc., etc.

[755962]

You will never be able to solve the problem if you keep the same thinking and the same approach that led you to this problem.

[karbofos]

Professor. Well, yes. Old Jew ... Israeli trick. from the height of his profesor genius of thought, tell the opponent that he is ignorant and leave the topic slightly. But essentially what is your article about? a set of photos from an American military magazine about how John Smith looks from one company to another. boys and girls sit on the deck and breathlessly look at the salute. An incoherent set of pictures and all this in the context of the fact that America brings light to the world. and you are undoubtedly trying to convey this very light to the ignorant with your unique genius. article about lifts will also be in the form of comics?

[Professor]

Professor. Well, yes. Old Jew ... Israeli trick. from the height of his profesor genius of thought, tell the opponent that he is ignorant and leave the topic slightly.

I just don’t know his address, otherwise I would send him flowers before moving out.

article about lifts will also be in the form of comics?

What is your concern? Are you worried about me or container lifts?

[bask]

Quote: professor

and? Are you worried about me or about container lifts

The article is just infa. Write better about Israeli armored vehicles.
And professor, I personally take a photograph from me.

[Professor]

I already have a photo of this, more like Kisu Vorobyaninov.
I won’t write about Israeli armored vehicles - everything is written before me.

[bask]

Quote: professor

I won’t write about Israeli armored vehicles - everything is written before me.

Well, as you like. There is definitely no such photo.

[Professor]

You are not much late, I personally already laid it out.

[Black Colonel]

And why does the Hornet touch the deck? Zeroing for subsequent landing?

[Lech from ZATULINKI]

And why does the Hornet touch the deck? Zeroing for subsequent landing?

but why pilots go to the dining room of course - somehow all this is not serious.


The pictures are high-quality and substantial, but you need to understand that this whole armada of equipment and people is sharpened to solve the specific task of the north of the ARABIAN SEA this area is like a powder keg - US SOLDIERS are there like a wick on a barrel with gasoline.

[engineer74]

Thank you Proffesor! Very informative and beautiful photos!
"... allow pilots to create and follow their routes." is it a google translator?

Gulf of Aden (April 15, 2013) a civil contractor from Insitu Inc launches an unmanned aerial vehicle

This is not the first time I've read that UAV operators are representatives of suppliers, what is the reason for this?

[Professor]

"... allow pilots to create and follow their routes." is it a google translator?

No, I’ve translated it myself, I’ll fix it.

[engineer74]

"... allow pilots to create routes and follow them." It seems so readable?

[Professor]

"... allow pilots to create and follow their routes." is it a google translator?

No, I’ve translated it myself, I’ll fix it.

[Professor]

This is not the first time I've read that UAV operators are representatives of suppliers, what is the reason for this?

In the American army there are a lot of civilian contractors, cheaper and experienced specialists, and not green soldiers.

PS
In Tsakhal, Elbit is also involved in servicing aircraft (not all) (he won the competition)

[engineer74]

Those. Do civilians use weapons? In the case of an impact UAV?

[Professor]

not at all, a man in uniform is pressing a button, but technical personnel from civilians, such as outsourcing

[engineer74]

In the tank then, only the gunner is a combatant, and in the bomber is the navigator-bombardier (operator)?
Interesting logic ....

[Professor]

Well, why are you like this? Tank maintenance is carried out by civilians, and warriors are fighting.

[engineer74]

I'm sorry.
By operator I meant a person exercising direct device control, such information came across.

[OLDTODD]

normal !!! Che Che and they know how to take pictures.

[Boot under the carpet]

MTO they have of course on top. I liked the photo "Intensive therapy in the air", it is impressive.

[Rim-roev]

Cool photos)

[Uncle]

I liked the "Digital View". When you look at the photo of the cockpit of our plane, where paint has been erased from the panels to metal, it hurts for our army.

[lazy]

also did not need a runway

[lazy]

The VR-3 "Flight" complex with the Tu-143 UAV is designed for tactical aerial reconnaissance to a depth of 60-70 km from the front line using photo, television and radiation avionics. also did not need a runway

[lazy]

Each medical module on board the An-148 is equipped with the latest medical equipment, which allows you to monitor the condition of the victim in flight and conduct therapeutic procedures.
The aircraft itself can be used even in difficult weather conditions and at night, as well as take off and land on unpaved airfields. By order of the Ministry of Emergencies, the An-148 was also equipped with satellite communications and Internet access.

[lazy]

A 45 ton ton Kalmar reach stacker was purchased for container shipping. Versatility, reliability, high speed and the ability to handle containers on small sites - we peaceful people use them in the national economy

[lazy]

for me it’s all the same where the technique comes up from the nose or from the ass .... oh stern

[lazy]

sunset in the sea in general a beautiful thing no matter on which ship

[lazy]

and takeoff looks no worse than landing

[lazy]

oddly enough, Russia on ships also has missile weapons and not just karamultuki

[Professor]

Only here, according to the charter, it is strictly forbidden to be on deck, and during rocket firing, and even with your camera. By the way, since they began to upload photos, I am interested in the composition of medical equipment on the An-148. Is it really bourgeois?

[lazy]

most likely, well, so now we are all bourgeois , I’m not even against the Mistrals, if for each Mistral they built one aircraft carrier. at least the Kuznetsov class

[Professor]

Worked with one firm, she made a portable X-ray machine for the field. They sold it to Russia, so it’s interesting where they shoved it ...

[755962]

Quote: professor

according to the charter, it is strictly forbidden to be on deck, and during rocket firing, and even with your camera.

But in one of the photos, it’s just the case when many of the crew with a camera during the shooting with the EM URO Mustin (DDG 89) of the Arleigh Burke class may have this not so categorically ... Fuck knows.

[karbofos]

lazy thanks for the photo. otherwise professor comics didn’t impress me.

[lazy]

yes, always, please, maybe we are not the best, but we also have gunpowder in powders and a berry in berries ... and "kuzka mother" we are still able to show

[lazy]

Squids are certainly good, but crocodiles are better

[Professor]

And there are such births.

[lazy]

beautiful too

[lazy]

digital cabin ka-52

[Uncle]

Both on! The beauty!

[lazy]

I did not find a ship laser, maybe only a Ship can be a military in Russia, and a merchant ship. But there was a ship complex Aquilon of the 80s, the a-60 aviation complex of 81 years old, and the ground complex "Compression" is the one in the picture

[Hemi cuda]

Thanks professor for the review, fight ignorance further.

[lazy]

ignorance is of two types, "all ours is the best and foreign is great" and "all of ours is foreign and super" and I don't even know which is worse

[Professor]

You will not find either one or the other. I try to be objective, although I have a "favorite technique" such as the Ka-52 helicopter and the Bill-2 ATGM.

[lazy]

It’s difficult to be objective, we are not robots, it’s upsetting me to have good experience in the Soviet Union on drones. having a squadron of drones as part of the ground forces all merged and now buy them in Israel. (Well, maybe developed at least by former compatriots)

[Professor]

In the USSR, UAVs did not really apply and did not learn. It seems that 10 years of the war in Afghanistan should have become a springboard for such funds, but to see the General Staff did not see the potential of the UAV. Regarding former Soviet specialists and Israeli UAVs, this is not at all the case. Look at the chronology of events and the faculty of the Faculty of Aeronautics at the Technion.

[pinecone]

Not forging yourself. It turns out that the US armed forces and warrant officers are available.
Do you have any supplies there?

[Zomanus]

Well, think about how they will fight the Russian Federation. Something more and more reminds Andrei Sergeevich Zavadsky "Day of Invasion". It was after this book that I started to find out how we can answer amers if they come to us. The book is purely for those who are sure that we are still strong and can pile on everyone, makes you think.
