SoâŠuhm⊠what airdefence doing? It got tyred
why do Russian jets all have to look gorgeous (su34, su30, su27, etc)
They had a specific point in their designs where literally everything was just a silver tube with wings. SU-7, MiG-19, Su-17, etc.
Seems like sometime after that they figured out how to make everything look badass.
SU-57 is the best looking sexiest. Its beauty cannot be hidden from an AA radar acreen.
What am I looking at here?
In light of recent drone attacks, Russia has decided to cover their vulnerable aircraft in tires. One can only speculate on that decision making process.
From what I read, I think itâs that the drones and/or missiles that are used to attack the airbases quite deep in the mainland use a special form of homing equipment that is not depending on any outside signal, which could be disrupted for example gps. So those weapon system rely on infrared or other means of self homing equipment to manage the final approach on target. The tires are supposedly meant to disrupt the systems that use visual clues for final approach also disrupting thermal imaging, kind of like dazzle camouflage is intended to work on warships.
If that is effective or work in any way I donât know, but if it does it is a cheap and fast solution until a more broader defense mechanism is crafted.
If not, you havenât spend a lot on trying, to solely rely on it forever would be dumb, but to as a makeshift temporary solution I donât see much wrong with it, except that it looks silly. But just like the cage roofs on tanks personally I doubt it will have a meaningful impact.
i like how it marks aircraft with tires as unused, because putting them on or off takes considerable time. one of these had even an engine missing, and according to some twitter accounts some of these aircraft werenât moved in years
so if it works as camo, it would only direct autonomous drone towards working aircraft. my feeble westoid mind simply canât comprehend vatnik logic
What youâre seeing is ADVANCED WARFARE.
(Itâs tires. IDK why though, drunken vatnik logic ig)
Tire fighter.
