Mistel I - the previous release was of the training version

Big Bomb! - Wasn't this used to create instant jungle clearings for slicks?

Is it just me, or does the mistel combination look like the nose cone of the bomb part was replaced with the top off of a glue bottle?

I think that big bomb was called the daisy cutter or something like that.

That was the nickname of the the BLU-82, which was developed as a successor to the M121 that’s in the kit. Not sure it was dropped from the CH-54 as well, but it certainly was from the C-130 Hercules.

They only lost one so far. The others were damaged/ repairable. There is a certain website available that lists all visually confirmed damaged and destroyed kit in Ukraine. I like having a gander at how much equipment the Ruzzians have lost. Quite staggering but enjoyable

Indeed,and I do too,...
However,I get the impression that the Reds are just sacrificing old stuff.. it's a war of attrition...
... and they are VERY good at that,as has been proven in history.

T-90M, Terminators, Su-34s and Ka-52s aren't old stuff :smiling3:

The more the merrier i say and long may it continue

[minitnkr]

I've heard some of the "old stuff" is more effective than some of the "new stuff".
