Transfer from CWDB to DB3K? Any chance the former Rhodesian aircraft still used by Zimbabwe in the 1990's to 2000's could be transferred over? Arms embargoes didn't start crippling the fleet until quite late into the 2000's. Specifically the FTB.337G Lynx, SF.260 and Alouette and AB.205 G cars were all used in the Congo interventions in 96/97 and 98 to 2003.

Tom Cooper - Helion Publishing - Africa at War Series ISBN 978-1-909384-66-8 PP.38 "Initially AFZ Hawks flew armed reconnaissance sorties, some of them armed with Chinese PL-7 air to air missiles" Imagery wise there is nothing I can find so far to show PL-7 in use with the Hawks but Zimbabwe did take delivery of J-7/F-7 in the same time frame and they came with the PL-7, but they were busting sanctions, so not surprising it wasn't in the press release! http://aviadejavu.ru/Images6/HI/HI-11/45-1.jpg - Hawk Mk60 was capable of using AIM-9 when delivered by BAe. Matra Magic used a similar interface to the AIM-9 and THE PL-7 is a blatant copy of Magic, so the ZAF had the means motive and method. <evidence> K quote: ORIGINAL: tylerblakebrandon quote: ORIGINAL: KLAB Transfer from CWDB to DB3K?

KLAB -> RE: Thread for DB3000 database problems, updates or issues (1/3/2022 5:46:06 PM)
The error is not with the entry about the booster as it cannot be sublaunched as its the terminal phase when the missile is already airborne. The error is that the entire missile 3M54 (sublaunched) needs to be added to the Yasens mounts not just the terminal high speed booster phase. Think this has been raised as an error in the DB492 build as it used to be ok? quote: ORIGINAL: BeirutDude SS-N-27 Sizzler on Russian Sub Yasen Class not capable of submerged launch.

On the Path Of Songun, Mitzer and Oliemans, page 119: quote: Lastly at least two Ka-28s and two Mi-14s were acquired by North Korea from Cuba in the late 1990s, replacing the Mi-4s previously used by the Naval Flight Squadron. quote: Satellite imagery however reveals five Ka-27 derivatives and up to four Mi-14s at Inhung air base on the eastern coast, indicating more examples were sourced from other nations to form a relatively sizeable fleet. Of course satellite imagery is insuffecient to determine the precise variants concerned, it is possible that the excess Mi-14s and Ka-28s are in fact Mi-8/17s and civilian ka-32s (possibly used for spare parts).

<type>ADD</type> <summary>Hypotetical E-10A USAF (E-8 JSTARS replacement, cancelled in 2007)</summary> <detail> The Northrop Grumman E-10A Multi-Sensor Command and Control Aircraft (MC2A) was an ambitious program to replace several types with a single model. As David Willis reveals, it proved to be too ambitious and was quickly dropped when the US Air Force (USAF) needed funds for higher priority projects. The Northrop Grumman E-10 MC2A was planned as a multi-role military aircraft to replace the Boeing 707 based E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) Sentry, E-8 Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (J-STARS), and RC-135 Rivet Joint aircraft in US service. It was based on the 767-400ER commercial airplane. Initially, the E-10A is intended to replace the E-8C Joint Stars aircraft to provide improved tracking of moving ground targets. Additionally, it will be designed to detect low-flying cruise missiles. Later derivatives of the E-10A could replace the Boeing E-3 AWACS airborne surveillance aircraft (E-10B) and RC-135 Rivet Joint signals intelligence aircraft (E-10C). Spiral 1 - MP-RTIP This version would have provided substantial Joint Cruise Missile Defense (CMD) capability with focused Air Moving Target Indicator (AMTI) modes and augment the E-8 Joint STARS in the ground surveillance role. They planned to have the E-10A operational in 2013.
