    Beautiful ... If only the sailor shooting the cable towards the refueling station (it is written opposite under the photo - towards the aircraft carrier) wouldn’t get tangled up with charges and wouldn’t shy away at such a good capacity with a grenade. Well, his surname is Brandt, the situation obliges him to cope with the fire if something happens ... feel

      Thanks, corrected. hi
      The trigger for the publication for me was photo number 16 "Lance Corporal of the US Marine Corps Richard Rodrin is watching through the window ..." Having carefully examined the details in the photo, I discovered information that was not known to himself before the village. As far as I know, there is no such thing in Rosssey.

        As far as I know in Russia this is not.

        We still have a lot of things that are not being done or are being done wrong. For example, in the photo a fighter takes a fuel sample and then dumps it into a canister (which is absolutely true, the fight against fire hazard and the environment). As a young man, while working at an airport in Sochi, I observed the following picture: a technician takes a fuel sample from an airplane tank, assesses the state of sludge by eye, and then safely splashes it onto the concrete. It especially delivered in the summer, when the soles of the concrete stuck ...

          ... and he was not the first to spill fuel on the concrete that leaked to the joints. And when a high commission arrived, which they decided to demonstrate the work of firefighters and, ironically, they set fire to a pair of tires in this place, they put out the tires very quickly and efficiently, but the concrete itself was put out for a long time and tediously.

            I'm not saying that he was the only one, they all did that. And Nenya’s first thought was - what if he threw a goby there? Kerosene itself will not catch fire, but some rag may catch fire, and from it kerosene will safely burn. And greetings to the passenger airport: at the nearby parking lots, the centralized underground fueling system would have burst with all my heart, half Adler would have been bold. And then it would not be necessary to redeem the land for Olympic facilities ...

          more that I did not see proff, the Russian Air Force ...

          most aircraft in the usa, they are equipped with a system that includes a telescopic tube with an aerodynamic tip))) (flying boom))))
          there is a fuel receiver funnel on a refueling aircraft ...
          with such a system, during refueling, an aircraft receiving fuel must accurately withstand the direction to the axis of the telescopic pipe, which can only move up and down ....
          contact occurs when the tip of the telescopic pipe enters the funnel of the fuel receiver, and then into the hole where it is captured by a special device ...
          The refueling systems of some KC-135 tanker aircraft were upgraded: a flexible cone hose was attached to the telescopic pipe, which made it possible to use them also for servicing Canadian and English aircraft with receiving rods .....

          You won’t believe it, but we didn’t have a line thrower and we went through the casting, but on the go we didn’t throw a line, but the point of the shooter is not exactly shooting the cable, as described, but just giving the line itself my photo is not clear, and you have minuses for what you threw manually request , I brought this as an example so that it would be clear what the shooter is doing. Think yourself who will allow you to shoot the cable from a neighboring ship with a weapon?

            Vladimir, about the cable, this is a clear slip of the "Professor", you should not judge him strongly in this, not many people know all the intricacies of the sea service, but I did not give you a minus. By the way, from my own experience I know that lightness will surely reach the wall if you aim at the midshipman at the crab on the cap (of course, in the presence of the midshipman on the wall). laughing

            However, the US 5th Fleet, which opposed the 6th OE, had more support vessels (both in terms of total displacement and in terms of specific indicators - "per combat unit")

            In its composition and capabilities, the Soviet Navy was a powerful fleet, but the second.

            Here in the strategic component was parity in the 80s (and in terms of strike capabilities "nuclear submarines against surface ships" - a clear advantage for the USSR Navy)

    why do not lay out, lay out ...


    In the photos that the professor uploads, the main thing is people, and the equipment is so beautiful surroundings, it’s as if the opposite is true, you can’t take your eyes off, and people don’t have any type of unmanned aerials and don’t need a staff

      It immediately catches the eye. The bourgeois write who is in the photo, where and why. Technology is also not forgotten. I always like what the author of the photo writes.
