Just tested and missile is working fine in that version. If you think its broken could you send me a file demonstrating the issue?

Thanks!

which file? If the mission, it has made a new mission editor

Hi Ed

I'm not really understanding what's wrong. I'm asking for an example file so I can see what you see as my experiment was successful

If you're asking about the seeker info that was posted you'll notice that most if not all our seekers have 5nm ranges. This plus other guidance features is how we are able to give the missile of greater chance of hitting the intended target while still allowing it to hit others. I promise we don't kobble Russian systems. Anybody that says that doesn't know us.

Thanks!

US isn't above it either although a spec ops mothership is different than a SSM mount.

Thanks Ed. Problem found and the fix will be in next update.

Edit! Don't use the next one.

We model this weapons by adding a second weapon as a payload which has the sensor. Something is happening code wise there. Stay tuned but we'll work to fix this one soon.

Thanks!

Just a request that the General Atomics Predator C Avenger (+ER version) be added to DB3000. Rumor is it was used for leaflet drops over Syria in recent months, so it has some operational history now. Thanks!

[PN79]

Please change Czech Republic radar RAT-31DL from "mobile vehicle" to "building" (like Polish ones). Czech ones are also fixed, see pictures here: http://www.bvrpz.army.cz/rat-31-dl

Fixed

Ed just tested the fix for this. Kalibre should be good to go next release. First stage tracks correctly, high speed release occurs with radars active.

Republic of Korea -* F-16 Block 32 Aircraft Upgrades

WASHINGTON, May 26, 2009 * On May 22, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of the Republic of Korea to support the upgrade of 35 F-16 Block 32 Aircraft. The estimated cost is $250 Million.

The Republic of Korea has requested a possible sale to support the upgrade of 35 F-16 Block 32 aircraft to allow employment of Joint Direct Attack Munitions, Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles, Improved Data Modem, and Secure Voice capabilities, test and support equipment, spare and repair parts, personnel training and training equipment, publications and technical data, U.S. Government and contractor technical assistance and other related logistics support. The estimated cost is $250 million.

Peace Bridge I

In December of 1981, the Republic of Korea signed a letter of agreement for the purchase of 36 F-16C/D block 32 Fighting Falcons under the Peace Bridge I Foreign Military Sales program.

This made the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) the first foreign operator of the F-16C/D model of the Fighting Falcon. These aircraft were to augment the F-4D/E Phantoms and the F-5E Tiger II's, which were at that time the primary combat aircraft serving with the ROKAF. The Korean program was christened Victory Falcon in 1986 by Chun Doo Hwan, president of the Republic of Korea. Because there were still funds remaining in the Peace Bridge I program, four more F-16D Block 32's were ordered in June of 1988.

Lockheed Martin has been awarded a USD1.2 billion contract to upgrade the Republic of Korea Air Force's (RoKAF's) fleet of KF-16 combat aircraft, the US Department of Defense (DoD) announced on 21 November.

The contract, which was awarded on 18 November, will be performed at the company's Fort Worth production facility in Texas, and will be complete by 15 November 2025.

The RoKAF maintains a fleet of 170 KF-16C/D Block 50/52 fighters, which were received in 1986. In 2012 the South Korean government awarded BAE Systems a USD1.2 billion contract to upgrade 134 KF-16s with the Raytheon Advanced Combat Radar (RACR), Raytheon's AN/ALR-69A electronic warfare (EW) suite, a Link 16 datalink, a helmet-mounted sight, a 'glass' cockpit, and an enhanced weapons package. The first two aircraft due to be upgraded had arrived at Fort Worth Alliance Airport in mid-May 2014. These were intended to serve as prototypes and test aircraft, with the remainder to be modernised in Korea using kits supplied by BAE Systems.

However, this contract was cancelled by the South Korean government in November 2014 after it said that costs had increased by about USD730 million. In December 2015, South Korea instead selected Lockheed Martin to carry out the work on its KF-16 upgrade programme. While this latest contract announcement does not disclose aircraft numbers or the specific nature of the work to be done, it will likely follow the same path as the previous award in terms of both numbers and scope. At least one aspect that will likely change will be the active electronically scanned array radar, which will now probably be provided by Lockheed Martin's long-standing F-16 partner Northrop Grumman rather than by Raytheon.

Some semi official release of China's SSN evolution. Seems like the latest 09IIIB has TASS.



Translation by Vincent @ CDF:

On October 15, 2016, the decommissioned first SSN was pulled by tugboats into the Naval Museum in Qingdao. It is believe this former pride of PLAN will be shown to the public soon.This publication provide the following based on published info:

09 IIIB SSN, differences from the standard edition are smoother shape, remove the observation windows, addition of VLS in the back, visible bulges at the front and mid-ship above the water line and towed sonar array at the rear fin.

09 IIIA SSN, differences from the standard edition is the the addition of smoothing shape between the hull and the coning tower

09 III SSN, first of the type went into the water in 2001. Uses similar pressure hull (?) as the LA class and a 7 blade low noise propeller. Changed the single line of water ejection system to multiple ones. The hull is covered in sound dampening tiles

09 IB SSN, uses a single line of water ejection system, later boats installed flank sonars, has the ability to fire YJ82 anti-ship missiles

09 IA SSN, only one ship (403). Length is increased and the water ejection system combines a single line system and a number of individual ones. The ship installed flank sonars later on. Still in service

09 I SSN, first boat introduced on December 26, 1970. Decommissioned

The UK F-35B has an external loadout for the GBU-31(V)4/B JDAM [BLU-109A/B] External (loadout ID 1398) with x2 GBU-31, x2 Meteor, and x2 ASRAAMs but not an internal only variant. The other strike loadouts it has all have an internal variant that ditches the ASRAAMs. US F-35s have both internal and external variant of the GBU-31.

[Filitch]

I'm not sure is this info should be here or in the Defense news. http://tvzvezda.ru/news/forces/content/201609270821-6np8.htm The S-400 hits a target at the altitude 45 km. It happened during exercise of the SAM regiment. So it could only be done by a missile 48N6E3 (DB index #2103). In the database the max target altitude for this missile is 27.432 km.
Of course, such altitude can be reached only by decreasing of the range.

Updated Thanks!

Thanks guys logged up until this point and added to our list.

J-10A/AS can now carry the PL-10.

I've added a 2018 Variant of the J-10A with the missile.

Navy stuff I need help with. I need picture or something to support the PL-10 and PL-15. You would think that just getting the missile when the PLAAF does is logical but it really doesn't seem to happen that way. If you can get me a picture or something to support he change I'll do it.

Next we need ASM loadouts for Navy J-10's. Assume YJ-83 but not sure. Seems weird that a naval multirole has yet to be pictured with one!

A big update coming is we've replaced all Chinese ASM's with correctly designated YJ missiles. I think we got them all and captured the updates through the years but please do let us know if we're wrong. We got great info on what the missiles actually are but some of the details on implementation and changes are murky.

Thanks!

Looks like the F-35B only has room in the bays for 1 1000lb weapons and an Amraam per bay. Multiple sources seem to support this. If anybody finds anything different let me know and I'll make a change.
