Defense News: German Tornadoes can't fly to Syria at night

Aircraft of the German Air Force Tornado, deployed in Syria for intelligence operations, can not fly at night, according to Look with reference to Defense News (DN).

The publication reminds that “six aircraft sent to Syria are equipped with surveillance equipment and were praised for their ability to take high-resolution photos and infrared images even in bad weather and at night.”

However, “night flights are impossible, as the pilots of the German Tornado are blinded by the too bright light from the lamp in the cockpit,” writes DN.

“There are minor technical problems with cabin lighting, - acknowledged the spokesman of the Ministry of Defense of Germany. - Perhaps the glasses that pilots wear at night are the reason for the glare. "

According to him, the military department “expects a solution to the problem within the next two weeks.”

A spokesman also noted that "currently in Syria, there is no need to fly at night."

“Missy deployment was done on 100 percent,” he added.

it's about night bombers

Now they were called not U-2, but Po-2, after the name of their creator N. N. Polikarpov. Aircraft differed from the old ones by the lightness of the glider, increased engine power. They installed real bomber equipment with an eye and a machine gun. The brightness of the lighting in the cabs was regulated by turning the rheostat. Flight and navigational instruments had scales with phosphoric glow. These were combat vehicles created taking into account the experience of war. (c) Bumblebees From low heights

Most likely, this is an overly bright glow of the displays on the dashboard. They really affect the ability of the eye to discern something in the dark. And adaptation comes very slowly

It’s a pity that Honneker didn’t finish any night with Germany. Really did not guess.
East Germany is Prussia. And the Prussians are the coolest Germans. They would not be disturbed by bulbs in any war at any time of the day. When he was still a kid, the dad of one classmate from the GSVG returned. And he said that the GDR officers had been burned to the USSR because they had not been taken to Czechoslovakia in 1968, and that they had not agreed with the victorious powers on the joint withdrawal of their troops. They would deal with the Bavarians and other Swabians in the name of the unification of Germany.

[KVIRTU]

The key word was "were".
The original Defense News article mentions the recent problems of the Bundeswehr (in addition to the Tornado): with the G36 rifle (overheating), and with NH90 helicopters (the military is not satisfied with the small opening of the side hatch (it is difficult to board / disembark through it, it is impossible to install a machine gun), a weak rear ramp , the seats are rated at 240 pounds (108,862kg), the small thickness of the floor panels in the cabin (almost pierces with the top), and like the "Eurofighter" the hanging tank fell off when refueling ...

Terrorists in the Middle East fight exclusively during the day. Only on the street it begins to get dark, and you don’t see the militants right away - everyone runs up the minks and caves to get ready for bed. Therefore, the German Ministry of Defense does not see the need to conduct special operations at night!

[Mavrikiy]

You see, the rheostat device remained in the Stone Age. The recipe is safely lost, and I believe that the Luftwaffe has an iron foundation to limit his stay in the sky.
You don’t understand the local specifics. ISIS sleeps during the day, the Luftwaffe works. Well, the time does not coincide, so it’s spray. Different civilizations.
True financial flows alone.

And the leader is one.

[Skif83]

The point is that the "vaunted" military potential of NATO is more like a profanation.
The fact that the A. measures cut loot on the repeatedly overestimated military budget is known. But Europe did not lag behind its master.
Those. we don’t need to blindly imitate them, we need to review all the transactions concluded during the stool for the purchase of foreign equipment.
As modern history has shown, NATO is already in "ecstasy" from the demonstration of the actions of Russian technology.
We would also need to pull the economy to a level that can not only support the army, but also feed the people ...
But, alas ..., the panicky fall of the ruble, the "stupidity" in the Twitter government, the president, confident that the peak of the crisis has already passed (and economists, both left and right, did not notice this), all this somehow does not inspire ...

[kil 31]

Stick the tint film on the bulbs. Not a free tip I will write the account number later.

Well, right ... You fly out at night, it is dark, silence, and suddenly the Russians behind and say: "PRESENT!" You can't fly at night.

There, the designers were smart, they put the landing lights in the cockpit by mistake. Well, baby talk. Yes, these "Tornadoes" should be written off for a long time, they are probably the same age as me.

At the beginning of World War II, the Germans also did not fight at night, the Russians taught.

[Ros 56]

Well, it’s you in vain, but Talalikhin whom he shot down. The British taught the Germans before the war with us, during the day they had heavy losses, so they just started flying at night. And Goering even issued an order - to have no more than 2 officers in the crew of bombers flying to England.

“Missy deployment was done on 100 percent,” he added.

And what would they not fly over Russia for intelligence? Or over China? After all, as I understand it, no one asked Assad for permission?
Not well, what? "Cool" German aces would fly over Moscow, you see, and they would learn to ask permission.

Yes, even a generation! Did the Luftwaffe not bombard Moscow, Leningrad and other cities at night? They simply translated the real Prussians (army of the GDR), and entim broke in the night sky. So they came up with a rotten excuse.

[samoletil18]

GDRovsky officers in the service left only 5%. They knew that if there were 6% of them, then they would occupy all the top positions in the Bundeswehr.

What kind of lamp in the cabin, the brightness of which cannot be adjusted within
min / off - max? In addition, "built-in lighting" has been used in aviation for a long time. Incl. with brightness control.
I could believe that it is difficult to read information in bright sun, but in this case, means (curtains) of shading the cabin are also used.
So the point is, most likely, in something else. And this - or "noodles" or nothing to write about.
