As stated.

An AC-295 with 30mm cannon on the same mission is successfully engaging the same targets (Boghammer/PB's) within the arcs of its side firing 30mm gun so its not an issue with the target?

Hi guys,
A Couple of amends to the Royal Navy Lynx helicopter and Wildcat "ALL VERSIONS" do not carry Sonobouys and never have,the only reference to sonobouys, is that the HAS.2 and early versions of the HAS.3 is that they carried a Sonobouy Reciever called "Jasper" to monitors small number of Bouys. I used to be a Helicopter Controller in the RN [8D]

<summary>Please add the Iranian Yasin glide bomb for Su-22 and F-7 Airguard</summary>
<detail>The Yasin glide bomb has the outward appearance of a Mk82 with a propulsion system on the back and wings. First reports from 2019. Range reported lies between 50-60 km. On the bomb is written 300lbs, GPS and INS (for what it is worth).
Also a modification in the cockpit. The GPS must of course be a civilian GPS..

In some photo's it has a white antenna underneath the bomb and the Su-22 is seen with a possible datalink pod. In the second evidence link you see photo's of it.
This is probably telemetry equipment, because we dont see it in other photos. This should not be included.

Observed aircraft types are the Su-22 and the F-7Ns & FT-7Ns. And possily on the F-4 (see last evidence link, the pylon looks like from an F-4?).

So I posted this to @warfaresims on twitter and they told me to share the information here.
The Air Force is equipping its fighters with lasers with the primary job to shoot down missiles.
They are starting with the older fighters as they do not have stealth capability.The project is called SHIELD
If it works why could it not be applied to naval vessels as a short range point defense style protection against missiles. Similar to the phalanx or any CWIS system but with larger range.

Here is some info:
