The Hind seems to have more alpha numerical designations than most dictionaries have words.

“Under the present scenario, only a political call can revive the program,” a highly placed source said.
In fact, IAF went further to slam Russians for not giving access to the developed prototypes of the aircraft to its pilots. Moreover, it also expressed apprehension that the Russians would not share critical design information with India because they have deliberately reduced the Indian work share despite India’s huge expenditure on the preliminary design. India’s work share in FGFA research and development and other aspects of the multi-billion dollar project at the moment is nearly 10 per cent, even though Delhi is bearing 50 per cent of the project cost.
Uh-oh.

Very capable little ships, the Rasmussens. Two StanFlex modules and the option for two more on each.
Those gifs remind me of the ending to clear and present danger.

An impressive set of images of a laser guided bomb just before it smacks the tar out of a small boat. keep in mind that is a small moving boat being targeted by a B-1.

Ah, the B-1B — apparently the COIN aircraft of choice these days...
Be really embarrassing for the Bone if that small boat had put a modern Russian MANPAD up the crack of its arse.

Tam: There aren't any with that kind of range. The JDAM can be used up to 28km away. The longest ranged MANPAD is notably shorter in range then that.
Green: Sort of. It has been used for it occasionally but it is a less then ideal candidate for the job. Drones, choppers, and other craft do the job just as well. Basically the point of the exercise was to show they could even do it. If they can hit a moving small craft they can hit just about anything on the surface accurately.
There was a sink Ex where they were testing JDAM with a multi-option fuse for anti-shipping use. I think Air Power Australia has an article on it.
The fuse had a contact option to just mess up the super structure, a delayed fuse that would go off inside the ship, and a fuse that would allow it to go off below the boats keel.
Found it. It is actually about the F-22 as a maritime interdictor Check the links in the article for more info. Pictures with details towards the bottom.

Who watches the watchmen?
For anything up to a few hundred or a few thousand tons, a near miss with a one ton bomb might as well be a direct hit. That incompressibility of water will get ya.
Night Clerk of the Apacalypse.
That is pretty true. Even the smaller bombs have the potential to do some serious damage to the hull under water. The Mk 48 is packing a less then 1,000lb warhead.

I wonder if I'll be able to afford some kind of small plane in a few years because I've wanted to learn to fly since I was like 10.

Hey there, new guy. It's great to see you!
I'd say aim for a pilot's license first. Unfortunately, aircraft tend to be very pricey, so rather than buying a new one outright you're more likely to buy a share in an aeroplane or purchase an older aircraft. There's usually plenty of advertisements in aviation mags so that'd give you an idea of the sort of price range we're talking about.

If you're a licensed pilot, some municipal airports can rent you a light plane, by the hour or by the day. This is frequently done by weekend flyers who don't want to go through the hassle and expense of owning a plane outright.
It's kind of like owning a boat — it's not so much a matter of having enough money to buy it, it's a matter of having enough money to keep it, even if you're not using it. There's lots of maintenance to be performed, FAA inspections and certifications, fees to park it in a hangar, etc.

^^Now, that reminds me of these folks who used to play such flight simulators on school computers. Probably because they are a bit more acceptable than regular videogames in a school environment.

Japan agrees to lease military aircraft to Philippines.
I think Mil has some weird system where they use certain numbers for export variants and others for domestic versions? Or at least I think I remember hearing that in Air Power International.
