The Ka-25 Hormone (gee thanks nato, nice codename :rolleyes: ) Was the primary ASW Chopper of the Soviet Navy. It, and the later model Ka-27 Helix (that's more like it) are still in use with the Russian navy today, I think.

The Ka-27 (Which looks almost exactly the same) is also used as an airborn radar for the Russians. It's usefull in Over the Horizon targeting, as long as it doesn't venture out too far from the fleets Air defences. They get their squat shape from the fact that they have no tail rotor, and instead use counter-rotating (contra-rotating? My latin is worse than my Russian ;) ) blades to maintain stability.

Btw this is the Mig 1.42, it's a new mig that's in development and has reached prototype stage. Unfortunantly Russia doesn't have the money to produce it massly for it's Air Force

I don't know toejam about cargo planes,and the attack choppers not american or Russian are alien to me.

(I missed two cargo planes and one attack chopper I'd never seen before :))

Post by: Wmaker on July 31, 2002, 06:07:52 AM: "This is THE way to test your aviation knowledge."

Hehe, I think that test thingy is pretty far from that. :)

Didn't try the lower levels but even that "Very Hard" level is VERY easy IMO.

And it's true that this test doesn't know the designations of the planes it's asking.

For example only possible option of the four was Stratofreighter while tanker boom was clearly visible...so the plane was stratotanker.

Looks like a knock-off of the F-22 Lightning stealth fighter, but with a Russian interpretation from poor microfilm photos smuggled across a border. :)

it actually looks like a ripoff of some other stuff (note the intakes that look a lot like the Eurofighters)

Well the more strength for mother Russia the better :)

Post by: Moose1 on August 04, 2002, 09:51:53 AM: 21/24 on very hard. Missed the Su-37 Terminator (hey, it looks like an Su-27!), the EH101 Merlin (thought it was a CH-46...duuuuhhhh on my part), and the Yak-141 Freestyle--I thought it was a Mig-23 picture with the aspect ratio wrong. :)
