I wonder how long the Russian MOD budget can sustain a high-level of missile firing? Even as large as the US DoD budget is, they were feeling the pain even back in 90-91.

The US is claiming 4 of the 26 missiles fired crashed while over flying Iran. There is debate about if the 4 were counted in the 26 or if 30 were fired.

They just dispensing old stockpile of missiles which is about to be expired. Besides, even inferior missiles can still get the data result from launching them, which is exactly what Russia is needed for their missile deals in the future.ORIGINAL: thewood1

Where do you get this stuff[:)]
They're using weapons to hit targets. If there is any analysis to be done its whether or not the targets are worth the cost of the missile.

No, but I am fully certain they wouldn't entirely bring out some shiny new and expensive weapons on the 'savage of the land'. Russia is still the fourth biggest of military expense in the world, and several indication that economy and geopolitical factors hardly make Russia as uprising as expected. If not, they can bring PAK-FA and Kh-101 in actions for even bigger military propaganda and data analysis in Syria.
Klub and their derivatives are 80s tech, and expectably modernized with advance warhead and sensors, which is enough to hunt people down around 3 meters MOA, however, these are only theorial weapon performances. Faulty missiles are expected as Pentagon cautiously rebuffed to Russia.
Russia just don't give a damn at all, if they drops bombs and shoot missiles, then it is their game willing to play.

Well, the "end result" is an elusive beast, too. The proximate result--things go boom--is pretty easy to ascertain and verify. The ultimate, political result--the other guys do what you want them to--is a bit more difficult, as the US has learned all too well.

1. The FLIR imagery is of a very low quality compared to what is available today on strike aircraft in the West. The scene is completely lost when a hot object is in the field of view, this demonstrates a lack of processing algorithms to adjust gain and contrast to keep the entire scene in view. This effect can be seen on US Flir imagery from the 1991 war for comparison.
2. The FLIR is running at only about 8FPS, they are intentionally restricted in framerate as this is in accordance with a Western designed FLIR that is following Export regulations to other countries. FLIR systems usually run at 60Hz or more when possible to limit lag and not miss important details of the scene or for tracking moving objects.
I believe the generic UAV (civilian) would be a nice addition, as well as its IR camera or SAR versions of these.ORIGINAL: Glenn Beasley
Will these be in the next Database?it would be nice if they were, North Korean Copies of Chinese/Russian Drones,Here is the link. http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htairf ... 51003.aspx
