I think it is a reference to the guy who created this file; "por_Charlie1232 = by_Charlie1232".

35mm Oerlikon system.
The britons tried to deactivate these batteries many times shooting Shrikes antiradar missiles, but the guys in the control trucks always shut down the antenna emissions before the missiles got a good lock on them.
These systems operated until the last day of the war, keeping the harriers away.

Interesting. Maybe they should have shooted one Shrikes and after a while send another to the same direction and when the first missed and they think the air is clear and shut on radar - BOOOM

I guess thats where the super expensive Stealth bombers pays off.

Correction:
When the harrier launchs the missile, it is lock already; but if the emissions disappear, the missile unlocks, falling away from the target.
That happened in 1982. I do not think that that can be possible with a weapon version 2006, because of the integrated GPS.

Also, those sytem can be used by radar and optics.
If you pay attention to the picture, you should see a lenses. These lenses have several capacities such as: infrared, zooming, etc.
So, you can fight without radar, and, or laying in the general data of a remote radar (early warning).

Yes it is. That is the real terrain.

Shrike was not delivered from a Harrier, they were deployed from the Vulcan used in the Black Buck missions.

My mistake, Sir.

[Linton]

A colleague of mine was the Victor tanker leader who gave so much fuel to the Vulcan he almost ran out himself on the way back!He got the AFC for it.I also have another colleague who was a pilot on one of the ground attack harriers.

very interesting video.where do you get hold of these things?
i kept hearing references to a scouse bloke.

[ABBAFAN]

will this video delete itself after 30 days?

[TteFAboB]

I guess he was there.

VON_CAPO is just a nickname, his real name is VON_DRACULA, immortal, eternally seeking for fresh blood, nothing better than going to a war zone, it's not like he can be killed anyway, but since he was on the British ship, I suppose he made a deal with them to suck only the Argies. I never tasted British blood, but if he doesn't drink it, it can't be good. Maybe he took a nib at Prince Charles and learned the lesson that way.

Who knows. Sorry for revealing your secret VON_CAPO, but I'm more of a Werewolf myself.
