Photographer Carl Richards captured these images of A35-003 taking off on its first flight, from Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, on December 1. The aircraft is due to be delivered to Luke Air Force Base, Arizona in early 2018 to be used for pilot and maintainer training, before being permanently relocated to Australia in 2020. A35-003, known to its manufacturer Lockheed Martin as AU-3, had its RAAF markings, including its 3 Squadron tail flashes, applied in early November, the final phase of the aircraft’s production process. 3 Squadron is due to become the first RAAF F-35 operational unit.

Vietnam has just visited the Republic of Belarus Tetraedr Research and Production Complex.

This Belarusian defense enterprise is our close partner. In addition to the S-125-2TM modernization package, Tetraedr has continued to cooperate with Vietnam to upgrade many weapons systems under Soviet rule.

Besides, it's possible that your side will also be offering us new advanced defense units built by Tetraedr. The T38 Stiletto mobile low-altitude air defense system developed by Tetraedr is the ultimate solution for low-level defense combat. This is a closed-loop weaponry designed to protect important ground targets against enemy air attacks.



T38 Stiletto eliminates the most advanced hi-tech guided missiles at medium and low altitudes with a radar reflective area (RCS) of only 0.03 m2, which independently performs the specified operation. Target, move, pause as well as rocket attacks after a short pause or from a fixed position.

Tetraedr equips T38 with state-of-the-art digital hardware, including radar, computer-controlled firepower, and rocket guidance on a highly automated platform.

Components of the T38 Stiletto system include the TARG (TELAR), T383, T384, and T385.

The most important of these is the TELAR T381, mounted on the MZTK-69222T truck chassis, which carries eight missiles with four launchers on each side and a central fire control radar assisted by a photoelectric device. . Inside the car is an advanced navigation map, communication system, power supply and life support systems.



According to Tetraedr, the T38 has an effective target range of 20 km, which can strike at speeds of up to 900 m / s and a range of 25 to 10,000 m. Two-stage T382 solid-fuel missile with a speed of 850 m / s, withstand overload of up to 25G, with a heavy duty 18 kg warhead with special detonators.

At present, military-technical cooperation between Vietnam and Belarus is developing more and more widely, in addition to upgrading the anti-aircraft missile system S-125-2TM, we also have you transfer technology for self-production Radar stealth aircraft RV-01/02.

Based on the good relationship between the two sides, the T38 Stiletta mobile missile system can be considered as an optimal low-level air defense solution that Vietnam can take into account, especially when it is introduced by your side. Details about tactical features.

HMNZS ENDEAVOUR - Final Harbour Entry with Pennant Flying

05 Desember 2017 HMNZS Endeavour (photo : RNZN) The Royal New Zealand Navy’s 30 year old tanker support ship, HMNZS Endeavour is about to be retired and enters the Waitemata Harbour for her final time on Friday 1 December. She will be flying her decommissioning or paying off pennant - the longest pennant in the Navy. Endeavour is expected to berth at Devonport Naval Base at 10am and will be visible from East Coast Bays and North Head for up to an hour as she enters the Rangitoto Channel, approaches the inner harbour and progresses to her berth. For her final ceremonial harbour entry, naval tradition allows the Commanding Officer of Endeavour, Commander Martin Doolan, to fly the decommissioning pennant from the ship. The custom is inherited and adapted from the Royal Navy since before the Napoleonic Wars when it was tradition for ships to fly a ‘Paying-off Pennant’ at the masthead when they left their fleet to return to their home port to ‘Pay Off’. The length of the pennant was equal t...

BAE Systems Integrates VBS3 and VBS IG for Use with the ADF's AADS
