CMIIW, this is a dumb-type bomb, isn't it ? You just release it, it falls straight down like a rock & explodes on impact. It does not glide, does it ?
Then why people are so proud of it ? This is a World War II technology. Or even before that. They had used it in WW I.
You don't need an expensive 3rd generation Flanker jet to carry & drop it:
(1) The Flanker has to fly right on top of the target, meaning: inside the hostile enemy territory.
(2) By carrying this thing, the Flanker's max speed will be greatly reduced. Then it will become a soft target for the advanced SAM or AAM.
Three mistakes people see from the recent Mumbai Attack:
1. Intelligent: impotent, they didn't detect & they were not able to prevent it.
2. Navy: big hole, they were not able to detect & stop the terrorist on the sea, far from the target.
3. CT Commando: slow, late arrival & doesn't look like a modern CT Commando.
The recent widely publicitized TNI-Polri joint CT exercises would have affected the mistake no 3, ONLY; which is the mitigation when the accident has accured.
How about the mistakes No 1 & 2 as prevention measures & are far more important ? I'm not sure if TNI & Polri have learned anything from it.
They also has built the real bomb version of this p-100 (non dummy), and from some sources, it is said that they also are developing the guided bomb ( I don't know what it looks like, maybe the guided bomb that was shown at indodefence).
It's better to put this kind of bomb on the badger..
it is a dumb bomb. but making a dumb bom is not easy as you think. it must be aerodynamics, and the bomb must work (to exploded)... and not every country in the world could make a dumb bomb...
beside, you need to know how to make a dumb bomb, before you can make the 'smart' one...![]()
something that should have been done 20 years ago, but hey, better late than never.
for a country that never have produce such thing, its normal that they proud of it. The thing is, its just to old in term of concept.
Hopefully it wouldn't take decades to turn those things into smarts ones.
ya, it means the projector path is predictable, hence precise.
Hi, I'm newbie
Indonesia plan to buy six more Sukhoi using export credit year 2005 to assemble full 1 squadron.
Those 2 Sukhois MKM arrived in Hasanuddin was part of these scheme
Each year Indonesia will receive 2 Sukhois, start in 2008
So the last Sukhoi will arrive in 2010
Sukhoi was not part of the $ 1 billion Russian state credit, so does the 4 Mi-17 arrived few month ago using normal credit export facility. I forgot bthe exact year of the credit export scheme for 4 Mi-17
DoD will use the Russian state credit to buy 2 Kilo submarines, 20 BMP-3F, another 10 MI-17, 5 more MI-35, and maybe some weaponry for Sukhoi
article: http://cetak.fajar.co.id/news.php?newsid=82953
it says russia will deliver the 3rd sukhoi in early january 2009..
and yep.. Indonesia also get the weapon...
The CT guns:
L-r: Colt M4, HK MP5K, HK MP5A4 (?), Daewoo K7, HK M416.
Question/correction:
1. The far left: is it Gegana or Den88AT ? These are two different Police units, thought personnel & hardware wise are mixed.
2. Kopassus correct name: Sat-81/Gultor. No more Den-81.
3. What did Marines Yontaifib do in the CT exercise ? They are Marines Amphibious Recon.
