Zippering is pretty common and accepted in NYC. Sure you get the occasional moron that refuses to let you in, but for the most part everyone knows to zipper. Zippering in outside of NYC has gotten me screams of rage and endless honking.

Android is basically Linux.
Given that there is still a fender gap between the tire and the wheel arch, the car is far far away from even being close to “stanced”.
Compare the E/F’s combat range to the F-15E. Hell, compare it to the plane it replaced, the F-14D.
Relatively decent manuverability for a Gen 4+ aircraft, poor speed, poor range, poor payload, lots of flexibility.
A big one is no max afterburner use in take offs or wave offs on GE F-110 F-14Bs/Ds as the thrust is so great, if an engine coughs, the asymmetric thrust is greater than what the rudders can correct for.
Ahem I mean 180 roll...
The “bugout” maneuver is also called unloading, as the most important point of the maneuver is to attain 0gs therefore removing any drag caused by lift enabling superior acceleration.
Your camera is much more interested in the cute asian girls behind you rather than the shiny turd of with glitter in your hands it seems. In fact, so am I....
Not that surprising, if you look closely nearly all of the J-15s were carrying no stores whatsoever. The only J-15 that launched with any load had to launch from the rear waist position giving it a longer run up, and even then it was only a minimal air to air load out.
CATOBAR or Catapult Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery requires specially strengthened aircraft to take the loads that being flung into the air entails, as well as a catapult system itself and the myriad of supporting systems just to run it. CATOBAR designs also allow for much higher gross weight launches as…
There are reports that the engagement was done well outside of AIM-9 range and was prosecuted with AIM-120(s).
Active Su-24s seem to be modernized variants with full ECM/RWR suites, from the photos of them on the ground in Syria they certainly have all the requisite ECM bumps and antennas.
Radar lock puts out a certain signal. When missiles are fired, that signal is changed to include data that is directed to the missile in flight, so yes there are 2 different alerts. That being said, the RWR would need to be programmed to analyses the radar signals and generate the appropriately alert to the crew.
An AIM-120 can be fired without radar guidance right off the rails (MADDOG shot) and it’ll go active immediately and target the nearest largest RCS, but why would you risk the missile A) not tracking B) tracking the wrong target or C) tracking a friendly?
To clarify what Seaking meant, that picture is that of a RWR -Radar Warning Reciever. Any radar guided missile requires at least an initial radar lock by the launch platform. In the case of the AIM-120 AMRAAM, an initial lock is required, continued lock is useful as it feeds mid course updates to the missile. In the…
STEAM RELEASE!
Wow that looks fantastic. Any known G ratings? The thing looks so much like an aerobatic capable aircraft.
Doesn’t seem like an upgrade that would require new built aircraft. I see new AAM configured CFTs, updated avionics, flight control systems, and AESA radar, but all of those can be upgraded in already produced airframes.
