I had seen that and thought the same. Are the sensors for the satellite platforms modeled in a way that it can identify a specific ship - meaning in game, can it distinguish a specific cargo container from a pool of a dozen cargo containers?

Yes, even for a plane as well, some commercial imaging satellites in 2010s has that capability.

There's a downside however, normal visible spectrum imaging cannot penetrate cloud or smog, while SAR imaging is still classified for only governmental use.

I have two assumptions for this case:

2, A retaliatory response to US, whom withdrawn UN funding after the counteragreement against Jerusalem capitalization.

Precedence lead to PLA watchers rumoring that the production of this stealth attack drone is imminent, five years after the maiden flight of the prototype (which still used the RD-93 engines with unshielded nozzles and afterburner).

quote:

The latest images of an AVIC scale model (December 2017) suggested that Sharp Sword to go into production has undergone some modifications including a shielded engine exaust, a chin-mounted IRST, conformal (phased array/EW?) antennas embedded in the leading edges of flying wing, two optimized internal bomb bays for GPS/Beidou guided glide bombs of different weights (100kg & 500kg). The UCAV may be powered by a new engine as well.





Heri K. wrote a piece dedicated to that topic: Despite his cautions to jump to conclusions, there are some precedence in the appearance of official AVIC scale models and the impeding production of various new projects.

The vast majority of the world's merchant ships are flagged out of Panama for a number of financial and legal reasons. I sincerely doubt the government has any awareness, involvement, or culpability in this.

UUV snatching could be an interesting scenario, but we need more UUV in the database.

I would be surprised the report on seven planes is completely true. Yet, "The ministry said two Russian service personnel were killed in a mortar attack on the base by rebels, according to TASS." has to be embarrassing to Russia.

According to Kommersant, who cite two military - diplomatic sources it's true and dispute what MoD came out with.
https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/3514249

MoD is saying that two soldiers died, and that the planes were only damaged and not destroyed and released a couple of pictures.




The Kommersant report also reports that a mortar struck an ammo container. It's possible that it exploded and caused the damage to the planes.

More importantly, the Russians have gotten rid of the Syrians who were handling perimeter patrol and have replaced them with Russians. (https://lenta.ru/news/2018/01/04/defence/)

That is a very suspicious looking photo over there. This one looks too clean to puncture the fuel compartment, more like a bullet shot. And second where’s the air pressure to squeeze out the fuel (unless there are more than 1 hole)?

But that’s is an interesting damage nonetheless, does CMANO has the fuel leak system for damaged units?

New batch of Type 054A seemed to have been equipped with a new jammer/EW suite, judging from the difference of the new active jammer emitters to the older (left).

Does anyone here seriously believe anything the russian MoD or TASS says or writes.
Come on, those are the same guys that talked about self defense forces on the Crimea.

Putin is ex KGB. Lying about something is part of the KGB standard procedure.

I would go for the 7 planes here. Maybe no full loss, maybe only damage. But if the Russians show pictures, these pictures most certainly do not show the truth unless proven otherwise.

Pakistan has denied the reports that China has plans to build a base in their country.

LOL. This photos are not from MoD or TASS. This are photos from independent photographer.
And if you watch live report from Hmeymim you can see, that Su-24 "29 white" with damaged horizontal stabilizer is already repaired.

The news spreads everywhere, so does the F-15 debate. There is a forum that discussing the Saudi pilot’s ‘error’ is more likely causing the demise. The missile that the rebels used is R-27T - - an infrared seeking version of BVRAAM repurposed on an improvised land-launcher.

One of them had said that because the pilot was both deploying Flares and opening an Afterburner when an vampire was right on his six, he didn’t realized it’s a BVR missile, as he did both of these in usual routine against slower and short-legged MANPAD. The aircraft exposed a LOTS of heat signatures, which is actually helping the R-27T to chase it. What is worse is R-27T has huge amount of fuel for immediate acceleration to Mach 4 and Fuel-Air Explosive effect, which is further nailing the coffin:

If I posted all of the "cool news" that came across my desk here, I'd be considered a spammer, so I wouldn't say that it went undetected.
