achtpanz    6/14/2004 3:59:14 AM
Russian T90 vs American M1A2 Abrams - Which is better? If these tanks fought in battle, which would suffer more casualties, which one is superior? What are their advantages? Any information would be helpful.

Use the image embedder and stop the BS.
Too difficult to switch "**" with "tt"? There's already a bunch of views on it so you're the only one having difficulty with your web browser.


Why not give a valid image address, before you proclaim victory in a subject about which you actually know nothing?

Really? The threat detector not working? Really Herald? CMWS works fine. Thank you for your concern. I think I have a better grasp on this subject than you.

And 5-8 seconds is a lot of time. I know pilots who have dodged RPGs with less warning and time to react.

I didm't bother with the rest of your TRASH becaiuse it was irrelevant.
 
The LIDAR that protects you is only effective across a clear LOS interval. Hint: the guy who kills you KNOWS this..
 
In other words, he can wait for his shot. Are you sure that you are sure your defense works the way that you think it does? Because I don't see you as having a firm grasp of what's exactly going on here. You are the mouse, a nice big slow hot one.
 
In sum, you can show me all the restricted UH-60 manuals you want. but you don't know exactly what Mister Missile can do to you when it is used properly, do you?
 
That is what I concluded two pages ago, and had doubly confirmed when you claimed a tree could mask you from an IR missile-especially a planar array imaging IR missile. (Even if it hits the tree and explodes, that is CRAP, piieces of missile and tree, coming at you at 350 m/s or didn't  you think about that?)            
 
And if the not-that-stupid-as-you-think-he-is enemy ever Mogadisha's you (assuming that you are not a clerk with access to tech pubs), well.... That BAE piece of crap can warn you all it wants as you go straight DOWN..

No it isn't-not against maneuvering heat-seekers that are five to ten times faster than you are.
 
Amd again: pilots who lived through RPG ambushes dodged one or two RPGs.  The correct volley minimum there is THREE with at least two separated threat axes and time across the interval no more 'one Mississippi, two Mississippi three BANG'.

One, even if I was a clerk that document is restricted access so the clerk can't open it as it is sealed before it is issued. And I'm sure I stole that TM along with that flight helmet...*rolls eyes*
 
Two, you have no idea how CMWS works. That's obvious because you tried to describe how you think it works. I'm not going to discuss it online as it is none of your business. I'll leave it at this. As a general rule of thumb, because of CMWS, Army aviators do not fear MANPADs, adn the tactics employed in theater now are a reflection of it. And we're going to be even more confident when the ALQ-212 becomes standard as an additional component. Yes, I've seen the ALQ-212 do its magic.

Russian air defenses have been good historically because their aircraft and pilots have been generally inferior to their Western counterparts. 


Our Pilots were inferior? You do not make any sense here now... really... what can i say after that.
 
i posted in a simple technical way that if hardware detects 3m missile above ground it says ALOT to any radar expert.
 
Sorry, but you probably do not understand the radar's very basics, but here you posted the 3 page drama in response trying to prove me something backwards.... no way... I would recommend you be educated in some area before trying to argue kicking off from national patriotic moods.

No, they've dodged a lot more than 2 at the same time. There are tactics which are employed which cause RPG shooters to have a higher probability of missing their shots.
 
And honestly, when you said I had 5-8 seconds I laughed. That is a a lot of time. 3 seconds is normal. It's what I expect to have and what I am trained to react in less than that.
 
My personal experience trumps whatever you think you know Herald.

And when I said I can hide behind a tree, I mean a cluster of trees. Not literally a single tree. But even that would help mask my signature. Hell, I can mask my signature with no terrain or obstacles to hide behind.

Getting very annoying that is.  You have shown amply that you have nothing interesting, informative or insightful to say and that you are very angry and defensive.  Since you will basically repeat this over and over again at a low level of quality there is really no reason for you to bother us with your opinions anymore.  And I could explain to you what he meant but you wouldn't listen anyway.  Now I haven't said anything bad about Russia so try and keep the volume down to 10 (I don't suppose you've seen Spinal Tap?) on your patriotic squealing. 
 
Or if you wish to continue...let's cut to the chase..."any radar expert."  Are you a "radar expert?"  What are your qualifications?  Go ahead and lie if you want, it may be more interesting than the truth.  But if you are such an expert surely you can tell us which American radar system, from which manufacturer, was performing this oh so difficult task ("hardware detects 3m missile above ground") BEFORE 1960.  No?  Then maybe you should go back to expert school.
