Seems that efficient Russian air defense systems cant tell the differance, even up close between a civilian B747 and a military aircraft.

Oh, and about the Mathias Rust intrusion, I must acknowledge that Boroda said "efficient" not "effective".

I think Raider has something against Russians, this is the second thread i've heard him talk about how they copied the 757. Lay off it man, it's the 21st century, no more Cold War, no more fallout shelters, Russkies are our friends. So they copied designs, Americans copied German designs from WW2.

Seems like you need to be shot down to stop testing VVS.

Let it go Nirvana,when people like them need to blame somebody they blame Russkies ,when only Russkies have enough balls to say "go f yourselvs and your prophets" then we sadenly become friends.

The commie shutttle is quite superior to the American shuttle except the Russian shuttle doesn't have a escape hatch not like we have used it though

At what point have we needed to use it? Re-entry (Columbia) is too early, and they were developed after Challenger accident. Russians have Soyuz on the ISS for emergency use if needed. ISS was a design copied from Americans too...

Following the Shuttle Challenger accident, NASA developed an emergency escape hatch for the Shuttle fleet that enables crewmembers to exit from the side of a Shuttle on a parachute during certain types of emergencies in the later parts of a landing.

Why would they add a escape anyway can't use it during lift off cuase youre going like 500mph-mach 1.0 and you have 2 srb at full throttle and chances of survival during bail are like 10-20%

Post said "...later parts of a landing"

RAIDER14 · « **Reply #42 on:** February 09, 2006, 09:24:18 PM »

but if they bailed near the cape they would land in the everglades and end up gator chow

they should have a bail out pod like the B-58 had

Quote

Problems with the conventional ejection seat initially deployed in the B-58 led to the development of an enclosed ejection pod. Designed by Stanley Aviation of Denver, Colorado, this system protected the aircrew members from supersonic wind blasts, supplied oxygen and pressurization during an ejection at high altitude, absorbed landing impact, and provided food, shelter, and equipment for survival on land, water, and ice. The pod also featured an automatic stabilization system for righting itself during freefall prior to deployment of the recovery parachute.
