Croatian Military Pictures! - Read the first post carefully!

[eaglefox]

I was on Lučko Airshow today as a parachutist, though I didn't jump, and it seemed that Saab is making quite an effort to market the Gripen. Leaflets, brochures, bags, prints and so on, all featuring Gripen and Croatian flag saying 'Gripen is future' and being handed out at the Air Force's booth. Hungarian pilot did a great job flying demo Gripen too. As sad as I am that the Typhoon probably won't fly in Croatian livery, it seems that the Gripen is more and more likely with each event.

eaglefox did you take some pics, please share.

Hura for Gripen! Gripen is future; all we need is a time machine now!

[eaglefox]

Sorry, no pics. I was in the ground crew, doing everything from clearing crowds for taxiing aircraft to directing security personnel. Needless to say, it was a madhouse. In 12 hours I only managed to get a five minute break to drink a bottle of water. We were terribly undermanned but we pulled through.

Guys I have a question.Today I read about AT-4 anti tank system on wikipedia and there you can read that Croatia is also AT-4 operator.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT4

I visited many exhibitions of Croatian military and police weapons in my life but I never saw AT-4 but only Russian guided and not guided missiles like Metis-M,Fagot,Malyutka,Zolja,RPG etc...so can someone tell me is this true or just wiki-bulls*it ?? do we really have AT-4 in our arsenal ?

Zolja is not Russian.

Does the Croatian Army really operate RPG's???

[Muc91]

Yes, they do. RPGs or the Yu variant, M57 IIRC.

So news that was put out by our media that we dont have new junior pilots turn out jet again-False.

i was at the pilot testing 1 year ago, and then really no one passed the medical exam

Mig-29 burns much more fuel than f-16.

You should train hard on planes you have, learn about maintenance of them and this will give profits in the future for Croatia as a NATO partner.

Frankly: between 10 years , when f-35 and PAK-FA derivates will be available in good numbers, also the most sofisticated of actual 4.5 gen fighters will be totally obsolete, so...

Problem it is that CAF needs these fighters NOW, in any other case I think that the best choice for any potential fighters buyers atm would be only one: wait for the 5th gen.
