Anyway we have a winner for the last test, Dagooz has answered correctly by naming the Shamsher (Jaguar IM). Dagooz scores 2 points for the correct answer, and I'm awarding a bonus point to Dan as he PMed the answer to me well before I received the correct public response.

Here's the full photo of the Shamsher:

Taitennek, you do in fact see an arrester hook. Most military aircraft carry one even if they are not carrier based. Here's a link to a story about an emergency landing conducted with the aid of land based arrestor system. Aircraft concerned is an RAAF F-111C.

http://www.defence.gov.au/news/raafnews/editions/4813/topstories/story01.htm

There's also a full pictorial of the arrested crash landing here:

I think I'll update the rules so that ineligible participants can score a bonus point if they PM the answer from now on.

Here's the pic of the Mirage 5 of the Belgium Air Force:

His observation of the lack of a MAD system as exists on the IL-38 May was right on the money.

You score two points, here's the full photo. I'll look for a suitable sub for you guys to try your collective hands at.
