Des drones russes contre les avions ukrainiens en combat aérien - Aerobuzz

La Russie a franchi une nouvelle étape dans l’utilisation des drones en Ukraine. En équipant ses drones « kamikaze » Shahed de missiles air-air R-60, elle s’en prend non plus à des cibles au sol, mais aux avions et hélicoptères ukrainiens. C’est une nouvelle menace encore perfectible, face à laquelle l’Ukraine doit rapidement trouver une parade. Les Ukrainiens

Destination's Journey
Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17F. The MiG-17 - NATO reporting name 'Fresco' - was the immediate successor to the Korean War era Mig-15 in Russian service. With a cleaner airframe and a crude but serviceable afterburner on the Klimov VK-1 engine, the MiG-17 was transonic in a dive (rather like the Hawker Hunter). Powerful gun armament (1 x 37mm and 2 x 23mm cannons) was optimised for bomber interception, but the aircraft proved a formidable opponent in Vietnam War dogfights against early F-4 Phantoms (which did not have a fixed gun armament) as they were far more agile. This preserved example is shown at the Rhode Island Air Show. #airshow #USA #RhodeIsland #aircraft #aviation #afterburner #fighter #avgeek #NATO #Russian #MiG #MiG17 #Fresco #KlimovVK1 #MikoyanGurevich #transonic #VietnamWar #airwarfare #F4Phantom #cannon #dogfight #photography #aviationphotography
