Another selection of beautiful, Amerov photos, I would like more photos of this quality, but about the Russian army!

[Smirnov Vadim]

http://topwar.ru/foto/ - did not try to come here?

[Lopatov]

It's about something else, as I understand it. The photos are upscale taken by real artists. At the same time, the signatures indicate that it is either a military or civilian staff of the American Defense Ministry.
It's time for our military leaders to think about this. A positive image of the army cannot be built with a single increase in monetary allowance.

[Kolyma]

Fine, fine, we continue to study the enemy by photo, author +, let's do it again :)

[Nayhas]

This is from the official site of the U.S. Navy, there is a very rich selection of photos with a description, including high-resolution photos. The US Air Force has a similar site, also with a collection of photos.

[Army1]

Our army doesn’t have time to take HD photos, it’s busy with business, but amers have such a feeling with glamor and effects, even when diarrhea, probably the fog will start.

And they like .......

[pinecone]

Well, how do we understand all this?

[Lopatov]

Master class for educational institutions of the Russian Army

[Canep]

Enough of the American advertisements here to upload, pictures or on the case, or not at all.

[Professor]

Enough already to lay out American advertising here, pictures or on the case, or not at all

The enemy must be known in person.
For example, the young lady to photo 10, google, you will find many interesting

[Alex Nick]

Dear Professor". I would like to see your photo. I wonder what kind of person you are.

[Alexander Romanov]

Dear Professor". I would like to take a look at your photo

Nuuuu personally did not see, but as one of the options

[Professor]

Down with anonymity, here I am

[Thunderbolt]

Professor, you’re just a Titan of thought, some kind of ....

You ate on April shares, well, there’s nothing to lose weight soon

[Canep]

After that I take my words back
for minuses - I will consider thanks.

[Alex Nick]

When you know a person in person, it’s more pleasant to communicate

[Boot under the carpet]

Let them burn in hell for animals!

[755962]

About the airships touched ... But they have a future. It is a pity there are very few articles about specialized devices. And there are a lot of them now. And many are very relevant.

[Professor]

Sorry for very few articles about specialized devices

There will be time, I will do it.

[755962]

I will look forward to it. (From transport to drums if possible) Regards.

[Kuzkin Batyan]

9 thought Russia thought, the jeep is worth it. Until I saw the inscription on the airship.

[Trapperxnumx]

Are there really a GASIC ???

[smershspy]

Good pictures! That's how patriotic the army should be and advertise it! It is necessary to create normal conditions for the service! Then everyone will want to join the army! You need to create a professional army!

[engineer74]

Thanks again to you Professor!

Photo 4 just like from the movie "Hot Heads" part 1, so the film is almost a documentary!

[Genoezec.]

There is only one conclusion: make the same photo stories with our army!

[320423]

The preview photo shows the MANPADS firing at UAVs, somewhere I read that the MANPADS are not effective at using UAVs. Someone can illuminate this issue in more detail. Thank you in advance.

[Professor]

It depends on which UAV, if it’s completely useless with an electric shutter, it’s not worth trying with a Hermes needle, but a Raptor or a Predator can be flunked at a low altitude.

[320423]

Thanks for the answer. Professor, do you know if any work is underway to improve MANPADS. it is no secret that UAVs, including those with an "electric motor", are being used more and more widely. Or there may be other types of weapons to counter them.

[Professor]

Are underway. They are trying to put a GOS with electro-optics (they say that a helicopter can be shot down by Spike, a similar GOS is being shoved into MANPADS) and a radar too.
The Israeli military attache in Moscow before being scoured from Russia at 24 o'clock said that the IDF has a special air-to-air missile designed specifically for UAVs. This can be confirmed by two cases of interception of Iranian UAVs in Israel, with the latter case not more than yesterday and UAVs there were much smaller than the first time. Here is the video of the first:

from an airplane, almost point blank, they work poorly ...
