They go into the same folder as the primary images, but they are called "xxx_t1" t2, t3 and so on.

Thank you.

disregard

I propose a new image for the MiG-21R Recce variant of the Polish Air Force. The current picture does not show the Recce/ELINT pod and this image helps identifying its role.

OVERVIEW: A medium-to-beyond-visual-range (M‑BVR) air-to-air missile, equipped with inertial mid-course guidance (with datalink updates) and terminal active radar homing. Capable of engaging high-altitude maneuvering targets at distances up to ~110 km.

DETAIL: The R‑77‑1 (RVV‑SD for export), designated Izdeliye 170‑1, is an advanced variant of the original R‑77, featuring a more powerful solid-propellant rocket motor and aerodynamic refinements to extend its range and accuracy. It retains the distinctive lattice (grid) fins for high agility and compact storage, and introduces an upgraded Agat 9B‑1103M-2001 monopulse active radar seeker with improved ECM resistance and sensitivity. The missile uses a laser proximity fuse and a continuous-rod warhead optimized for destroying maneuvering air targets. Its mid-course updates via datalink ensure effectiveness in dynamic BVR engagements. It can be deployed in all weather conditions and across a wide flight envelope.

Yes, it’s a better picture, except that it’s not the same model. The SSV Marshal Nedelin class #2821 is an older version, featuring a larger radome housing satellite communications. In contrast, #4698 represents the modern version, equipped with a smaller (modern) radome.

Oh thanks, so Marshal Krylov is now her own class.

This is the pic in the db, still the one above is better

The radomes look different, perhaps only painting.

Marshal Nedelin, from the russian wikipedia, 1985 and 1989 pics.

Some ship image updates

Weapon_858 - 76mm/62 Compact

The actual #858 image shows an Oto Breda. After verification, this 76mm entry weapon is used only on ships equipped with Oto Melara. (I didn’t properly check when uploading in it last year.) So here is an Oto Melara image to replace it."
