Don,
At your leisure only please, would like your thoughts on the following...
1. INDIA: ADD/MiG-29K/As you know this is the Russian Naval version. India just last month commissioned it's first INA Squadron. They will operate off the INS VIKRAMADITYA which Russia is due to deliver later this year, however as you know as well they could operate off any military airfield. Do you think it worth our time?
2. Tank vision issue...Are you willing to do
45 TI/GSR? Last I posted on FRANCE's LECLERC (FCS IRIS) and ITALY's ARIETE (FCS GALILEO) I felt reasonably sure that the newer versions of these tanks should have the 50 TI/GSR we've started to update in the last patch on some other tanks. The following are my main concerns right now,
LECLERC is simply a ref. issue w/a 50/50 split on those that support 40 and those that support 50 in TI/GSR.
ARIETE is to a lesser degree about refs. but more a technical one dealing with the FCS, specifically the ARIETE
only uses components of the GALILEO system. In contrast the CENTAURO uses the full system which makes sense as part of it's intended mission is long range RECON/Surveillance and I'll be requesting the type to be bumped up to 50 TI/GSR in the next PP in this thread. The compromise is the only way I can reconcile these two tanks at this time. By the same token I do understand the possible future of the proverbial "opening of the flood gates".
Thanks in advance! Also saw your last in the APC Thread. Just like you to put those two BRADLEYS together so I'd miss at least one. Well you gotta blame someone after all!?!
Have a great weekend!
Regards,
Pat
