Some good stuff there R988.

Royzee617 · 03-28-2006, 02:56 PM

Gordon Bennett! Thassalot! Thanksalot!

Great idea for a thread. GV is a treasure trove but not easy to get to the good stuff. But then maybe that's why it is fun.

One of mine is up there - a short clip of the Harvard landing. Have not had time to look at it lately but will now return.

Unbelievably there's just two vid clips from Duxford, t'other is the Rapide which gives pleasure frights:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...uxford&pl=true

Which partly explains my enthusiasm to upload some of my other vids.

Regular viewers may recall my mistakenly labelling one of my vids on this site as being the Turkish Stars when in fact it was the Swiss AF team. Well, c/o GV you can enjoy the sublime TS:

Anyone know what the decoy thingy is on the Eurofighter video??

Royzee617 · 03-28-2006, 05:21 PM

Could be a towed decoy - the B2 and F18 have one as part of their EW countermeasures to sucker in radar homing missiles.

R988 · 03-29-2006, 09:07 AM

Not sure why it needs it if it can just light the reheat and outrun a (I think IR!) missile, god those promo videos are such a load of crap, you'd think someone somewhere might have spotted some of the numerous fantasies masquerading as truth in that video, oh well never underestimate marketing bods I guess.

Royzee617 · 03-29-2006, 03:02 PM

GEC-Marconi is also working on towed decoys for the Eurofighter. Two units are integrated into the EF2000 right wingtip mounted pod.
see also:
http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita.../an-ale-55.htm
and
http://www.flug-revue.rotor.com/frhe...02/FR9802c.htm
they must think it is really useful since they had to make it withstand the reheat plume.
In large aircraft, such as the Nimrod, a winch can be installed, allowing the retraction of the decoy before landing. Otherwise, the cable is cut, losing at least $10000 for each decoy deployment.
"The decoy protects the host aircraft and its crew against guided missiles by providing a more attractive radar target and luring RF missiles away from the aircraft and to the decoy. The most rigorously tested ECM system in U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy history, the ALE-50 has successfully countered numerous live firings of both surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles.

"U.S. military pilots have nicknamed the decoy "Little Buddy".

Aggie08 · 03-30-2006, 02:52 PM

Interesting. Never heard of them before. They would have to be towed quite far back for the host to escape the blast of the missile though.

R988 · 03-30-2006, 06:55 PM

I think ships and submarines use something similar don't they?

R988 · 04-20-2006, 06:56 PM

Aggie08 · 04-23-2006, 06:58 PM

Good vids. I think the mig21 looks wicked, menacing. Sounds good too.
