4. Running thaad

Launch of the first of two ground-based antimissile mobile ground interceptors for high-altitude over-atmospheric interception of medium-range missiles (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, THAAD) during successful tests. The tests were carried out by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), the Operational Test Agency for the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS), the Joint Integrated Test Team for the Missile Defense, and the US Pacific Command with the participation of the American Alpha 2 battery of the Air Defense Regiment and US Navy sailors aboard the Decatur rocket destroyer (DDG-73). In addition, with the participation of pilots 613-th operational air center of the US Air Force, they conducted the interception of one medium-range ballistic missile system THAAD and one ballistic missile medium-range missile defense system Aegis. The tests, called the Flight Operational Test-01 (Flight Test Operation-01, FTO-01), highlighted the ability of the Aegis and THAAD missile defense systems to operate in a multi-layered defense architecture and intercept two almost simultaneously launched ballistic targets.

Paratroopers from the 4th Infantry Brigade (Airborne) Tactical Group, 25th Infantry Division parachute from a US Air Force C-17 Globemaster over the Malamute parachuting zone at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, September 19, 2013 of the year."

I liked the word "parachuting" and "parachuting zone" very much.

Already fixed.

[Professor]

Quote: Vladimirets

drop zone is the parachuting zone and nothing else. I would not correct it.

[Vladimirets]

Quote: professor

There are rules of the Russian language and generally accepted norms, why clumsy literal translation? Drop - including, throw and throw. Drop zone - drop zone, which is easier?

[Professor]

I am not inventing words, there is such a concept of "parachuting" and it suits me. the editor thought otherwise, that's why he is an editor.

[Vladimirets]

Quote: professor

there is such a concept "parachuting" and it suits me

You're right:

"PARACHUTING is a complex aerobatics figure, which consists in a straight flight of an aircraft at high angles of attack with a decrease with a decreasing horizontal component of the speed along the trajectory and an increasing vertical component (3-4 m / s}. Parachuting is usually used when landing at the end of the holding stage until the moment of landing and also for the purpose of studying the behavior of an airplane at low speeds. Parachuting occurs due to the decrease in the lift of the airplane compared to its weight. "

Source: Military Aviation Dictionary, Moscow, Military Publishing House.

However, it is somewhat unsuitable in this case, don’t you?

[Col.]

Quote: professor

the editor thought otherwise, for that he was the editor.

Oleg, I just served in aviation all my life, I had to participate in the preparation of educational and methodological literature. "Shoveled" during his life a lot of official papers (summaries, including GRU-shnyh, reports, Instructions, Regulations, Manuals, manuals, etc.) and I know well the terminology, wording, abbreviations and , including - translations of many expressions, which often do not coincide at all with the "interlinear". By the way, the caption under the first picture "(Photo of 3rd class mass communications specialist Preston Paglinawan, US Navy)" I would translate as "photo of a public relations specialist (media)" What do you think?

[Professor]

He also served in the army, therefore I do not argue with the editor (usually ) In general, translating from another language is very difficult, there are not many concepts in Russian and vice versa. It is especially difficult to translate from Hebrew, from German and French easier. English is even easier, but there are such twists that I give up.

Quote: Colonel

By the way, the caption under the first picture "(Photo of 3rd class mass communications specialist Preston Paglinawan, US Navy)" I would translate as "photo of a public relations specialist (media)" What do you think?

They also have a specialist in public relations, they are called differently and his tasks are also not quite like these. In principle, for the Russian ear it could have been so.

[Col.]

Quote: professor

In general, translating from another language is very difficult, there are not many concepts in Russian and vice versa.

That's for sure. In my practice, there was a case: one of the translators of my department, translating an article from "Naval aviation ~ s news" about the modernization of avionics R-3S, wrote in particular: "... the new radar of the aircraft allows you to detect traces of bare feet in the sand." Nonsense, of course, but literally true! And only my colleague, who at one time graduated from 3-year English courses at the GRU, realized that professional slang was used here and it should be translated as follows: "... the new radar of the aircraft allows you to detect the wake of a submarine during swell on the sea surface." ... Handsomely? Not all American soldiers know this slang, but in our GRU it is easy. True, it was back in the glorious Soviet times.

[Pimply]

Prof, if we are to deal with the literary editing, this is the landing zone, or the landing zone.

Quote: Vladimirets

Loved it

I really "liked" the inscription, or rather the explanation to the first photo - Hornet's approach to the aircraft carrier

Yeah ... on the afterburner and from the height of a 9-storey building ... well, just "classic alignment" in the US Navy aviation

[Professor]

Quote: vaf

Yeah ... on the afterburner and from the height of a 9-storey building ... well, just "classic alignment" in the US Navy aviation

Who studied what. Chassis released, lowered hook, went to the glide path ... Or am I missing something?

[VAF]

Quote: professor

Who's that studied

I agree here, +!

Quote: professor

Chassis released, lowered hook, entered the glide path.

Huck the same .... released, so more correctly, did not go to the glide path, but .. entered the glide path or "slang-sat down on the glide path."
Now, about the fact that I lowered it, the engines work on the MFR .... they don’t go on the fast and the furious landing ... not only the strip, but also ... the water surface is not enough.
The MPF is "kindled" only after touching and in the case of a hook, immediately on the MG, and so .. on the second round.
Hornet's flaps are already in the take-off position.
Compare the dimensions of the Hornets standing at the end of the deck and the Hornet "hanging" in the air, you don't even need to look closely - you can immediately see that the Hornet has passed the alignment of the strip and passes at the same height as the "Island"

[Col.]

Quote: vaf

immediately see

Well done, Sergey! You can immediately see the pros. But do not be too strict, - Oleg just translated the text.

[VAF]

Quote: Colonel

But do not be too severe, - Oleg just translated the text.

Andrey, I already wrote that I’m only with Oleg It's a pleasure to "wrestle" with him , well, "pick up" something new for yourself .. never harmful, even at my age

That's just in place of the "extreme" pictures, I would suggest this one.
Here you can understand everything, both the possibilities and the meaning ... Americans do not bother with "freezing" into the desert, so into the desert ... into the mountains, so into the mountains, onto the deck ... so onto the deck

[Professor]

So he will go to the second round, but he will sit down. They don’t give orders for landing on the deck and they don’t draw an asterisk on the plane, this is a usual thing.

[VAF]

Quote: professor

So he will go to the second round, but he will sit down.

So no one disputes this! Sits down and will be "at home", like everyone else ... "brothers"

The whole "bazaar" arose from the photo caption, if it was signed - working out the approach technique, training approaches, etc., then no "claims"!
But here .. Namely, quote:Hornet is landing, where does he "enter" when he, Hornet has already passed by, lit the afterburners and went to the second run

And what is fast and furious..this probably doesn’t need to be explained to you, but if you don’t see in the photo. then .. even more .... clearly visible here.
True, not Hornet, but Rafal, but .. "the essence of the piano .. does not change"

[Professor]

Quote: vaf

But here .. Namely, the quote: "Hornet" comes in to land ", where does it" come in "when he, Hornet has already passed by, fired up the afterburner and went to the second run

The cap of the photo is called "Approach" for landing, in the description "prepares" for landing. As the saying goes: "Who likes what."

[VAF]

Quote: professor

The cap of the photo is called "Approach" for landing, in the description "prepares" for landing.

I understood and read Eo, but above in the comment I expressed my opinion how it should have been ... be, probably wrote fine and you didn’t notice
Then I repeat .. and highlight: if it was signed-working off the approach technique, training approaches, etc., then no "claims"!

Quote: professor

As the saying goes: "Who likes what."

Well, this is from the series .. "and the cook can run the state"
In this case, this photo .. "call names":
1. Preparing for take-off.
2. Taxiing out to preliminary.
3. Control run

[Professor]

Quote: vaf

3. Control run

I liked the idea, only you won’t go a lot on an aircraft carrier ...

[poquello]

Quote: vaf

Hike demobilization for beer.

[VARCHUN]

We need to read carefully, landing Americanos on a Japanese warship. And I have a question like what did the Japanese have against or would say something.

Maybe the parking place is just looking freely?

[VAF]

Quote: Vladimirets

Maybe the parking place is just looking freely?

Aha , and the guys "from the deck" look up and think ... "This is what we drank yesterday" what is .. "seemingly"

[Arberes]

Special thanks for the pictures! Got a great pleasure! A strange feeling from the type of weapon. Power, beauty, proportional lines and a sense of mortal danger. HERE IS HARMONY?

[Lech from our city]

Launch THAAD
Question to the professor to our ISKANDERS is an allergy to these systems?

[MilaPhone]

They are allergic to taxpayers.
Cost: About $ 2,3 billion for 1 complex.
Plus, the cost of the AN / TPY-2 radar is $ 574 million. In 2011, 22 missiles were purchased in the amount of $ 1 billion, in 2012 - 42 missiles in the amount of $ 999 million, in 2013 it is planned to purchase 36 missiles spending $ 777 million on them (for the USA) .

[Professor]

Like iskander not medium-range missiles ...

[MilaPhone]

Perhaps he means that Iskander can destroy him. As it is intended to destroy small and area targets in the depths of the operational formation of enemy forces.
And for comparison with the American, the S-300VM Antei-2500, according to the classification of the US and NATO Defense Forces, the SA-23 Gladiator, is probably suitable.

[Professor]

Quote: Milafon

Perhaps he means that Iskander could destroy him.

Maybe it can, only someone will give it to him. Target designation than will be?

[MilaPhone]

Given the cost of THAAD, which I quoted above, Iskander missiles will not save - they will hit approximately, it will pay off anyway.

[Col.]

Quote: professor

Target designation than will be?

Target designation ISSUED.

[Professor]

Quote: Colonel

Target designation ISSUED.

Of course give out. That's just who it is will give to this mobile complex?

[Col.]

Quote: professor

But who will give it to this mobile complex?

We had only one reconnaissance and target designation system - "Success". Its carriers were the aircraft of the Navy - Tu-95rts and Ka-25rts. They have been gone for a long time. So there is no target designation as such either. There is GUIDANCE or data entry into the GOS or the flight program of the BR before launch. Correction (for KR) - from the satellite or by comparing the map wired into the memory with the flown terrain

[Professor]

That's right, but Russian satellites began to transmit digital information to the earth quite recently and there are very few of them, but here the mobile complex ...
Option one, long-range UAVs, but they are not there yet.

[Ascetic]

Quote: Colonel

or by comparing a memory card with a terrain

It is called correlation-optical guidance system, that is, the correction of the flight path is made according to the reference digital image which is compared with the current one.
That is, on Iskander there is both an inertial guidance system and KOSN. About the same as on the Axes. Her main drawback is that she cannot independently provide guidance on a moving object.To form a flight mission, you must have a reconnaissance image. Fog or an aerosol cloud hiding the terrain exposed by the enemy may interfere with the operation of the seeker. The advantage of the optical system is that against it any power of electronic warfare is powerless, the main thing is to bring it to the point where the optics begin to see the target. Now work is underway to equip the GOS with a special SNS, a set of these systems will allow you to create a rocket that hits a given target in almost any conceivable conditions..Russian operational-tactical missile systems "Iskander", which are in service with the Ground Forces, are planned to be equipped with new missiles with ultra-precise all-weather homing heads. According to ITAR-TASS with reference to the representative of the Army Colonel Nikolai Donyushkin, the creation of new warheads is already underway.
link The combat use of the RK Iskander - information about the object is transmitted by satellite, plane or UAV to the information preparation point, where the PZ is then calculated via local networks and radio channels to the KShM and from there to the control room.
The complex was also equipped this year with additional means of overcoming missile defense and electronic warfare (approximately such a mini-poplar-M

[ilf]

If we compare the equipment, then our soldiers are somehow sad with this (

[neri73-r]

If we compare the equipment, then our soldiers are somehow sad with this (

And you do not compare equipment, but morale and willpower! Equipment can be purchased or done, but with the will ........... not just like that!

[silver_roman]

for those tasks (to pry the cities and villages of Libya, Iraq and Yugoslavia from over the horizon with "axes"), which are performed by American soldiers, the will bought for the green babos is more than enough.
Where our military uses will and patriotism to achieve their goals, the Americans use al-Qaeda or their other vassals - puppets as cannon fodder!

[roma2]

here with the will ........... not just like that!

From the cycle "How the Will Was Tempered"








And you think that such an army will be able to withstand foreign aggression ??? They are unable even to defend their pride, but I don’t even speak about the country.
"Urya patriots" fly minus.

[31231]

Scarecrow, have you even served in this army ?! We had Caucasians in the battalion, but we did not allow ourselves to humiliate them so. But the "stray" from the military town were often pears in the landing company.

[vladimirZ]

The criminals depicted in the photo "Ingush-force", "Dagestan" must be brought to justice from the moment the photo was published, in view of the circumstances of the crime under Article 282 of the Criminal Code regardless of the statute of limitations for committing a crime and in view of continued criminal actions to publish materials to be convicted under this article.

Article 282 of the Criminal Code. The incitement of hatred or enmity, as well as humiliation of human dignity

1. Actions directed to incite hatred or enmity, as well as to humiliate the dignity of a person or a group of persons on grounds of sex, race, nationality, language, origin, attitude to religion, as well as belonging to a social group, committed publicly or using funds mass information, -

shall be punished by a fine in the amount of one hundred thousand to three hundred thousand rubles, or in the amount of the convict's wages or other income for a period of one year to two years, or by deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions or engage in certain activities for a term of up to three years, or compulsory work for a term up to three hundred and sixty hours, or correctional labor for up to one year, either forced labor for up to two years, or imprisonment for the same term.

2. The same acts committed:

a) with the use of violence or with the threat of its use;

b) a person using his / her official position;

c) by an organized group, -

shall be punishable by a fine in the amount of one hundred thousand to five hundred thousand rubles, or in the amount of the convict's salary or other income for a period of one year to three years, or by deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions or engage in certain activities for a term of up to five years, or compulsory work for a term up to four hundred and eighty hours, or correctional labor for a period of one year to two years, or forced labor for up to five years, or imprisonment for the same term.

It is necessary to punish these criminals, even after their army service. The power of criminal punishment is its inevitability.

[VARCHUN]

Would you take it and say as a result? And I especially liked the statement about criminal liability, say it to corrupt generals of all stripes.

"Urya patriots" fly minus.

all this depends primarily on the commander of the unit / subunit. usually this happens in those parts where the commanders do not meet the qualifications

[SIBIR38RUS]

Pancake!!! Well, the pictures ... I saw of course like that. INGUSH POWER! - Ingush himself will probably scream when the donkey makes the donkey happy To plant these Mr .. mountain! definitely under the article!

[VARCHUN]

I’m just screaming ROMA from you, what are you doing ****** or how did you serve? If you put the USSR flag it doesn’t mean you didn’t have that. Don't make yourself a ROMA hero, give these guys weapons and they will fill up all of them, but the country of Russia with its corrupt officials does not allow them to do this.

[Walker1975]

Sorry, if they can, then why not?

Sometimes it seems to me that behind a call to freedom are:

- inability to command
- inability to establish logistics
- the desire to rob money aimed at reforming the army.

I remember there were even pearls, now I don’t remember the author when they said - to shoot is harmful, the shooting soldier is a cowardly soldier, here the bayonet attack is yes.

[31231]

This is for SWAT more likely and who. For constant fighting, these are extra gadgets.

The author plus a selection of good photos.

[Max_Bauder]

But all the same, I like the equipment, helmet, goggles, and protection on the face, on the helmet a piece of iron seems to be used for attaching a night vision device, m4a1 with a collimator sight and a laser sight on the side of the hike, in general they are well-shod and dressed and armed.

The new warrior saw in the news showing when the president came to check, the equipment was for the shooter, sniper, machine gunner and honey, directly to the warface :)
The warrior by appearance also possesses all the properties of the American, therefore it is necessary to introduce him as soon as possible into the army so that everyone is so dressed and armed in a modern way.

PySy. I heard that the Americans are changing the usp to the Maltiks in camouflage, from the experience of fighting, and the warrior is just like the Maltiks.
PySySy. why are they interestingly switching from a t10 parachute to a t11 not in the know Guys? it seems that it doesn’t change for a long time and suits everyone.

[31231]

Crawling along the obstacle course ?! In a war, it may not be very special, but in everyday military life it’s hard to maintain an extra gadget.
