ReBLOG: Tom Clancy and Red Storm Rising
As a teacher one has been quite busy with end of semester thingies. But as the holidays are upon us I hope to write something substantial. But on the meanwhile: Happy Yuletide for All! Text is Borrowed from WAR IS … Continue reading
Ilta-Lehden artikkeli aiheesta Laivaston Korvetit.
Sunnuntain Ilta lehti yllätti positiivisesti hyvällä artikkelilla aiheesta Merivoimien uudet taistelualukset. Juttu luettavissa TÄÄLLÄ. Tarjoan tässä muutamia omia huomioitani aiheesta. Ihan yllättäen ja pyytämättä. Ensinnäkin “korvetti” on pienin sotalaivaluokka, jolla nyt avomerille kannattaa lähteä. Se on kuitenkin vielä niin pieni, … Continue reading

HX-program, Whew are we now?
Now it is at least “semi offical”: Minister of Defence, Jussi Niinistö (PS) said “it is possible to get fighters from two different countries” Link HERE in Finnish. This would mean a Air Superioirty fighter, Gripen or Typhoon, combined with … Continue reading

Päivä SAABilla koneentekoa katsomassa
Minulla oli ilo päästä katsomaan SAABin Linköping tehtaita lokakuisen päivän ratoksi. Itse tehdasalue on laaja, ja siellä käy töissä melkein 10% tuon Oulun kokoisen kaupungin asujaimista, eli tärkeä juttu kaupungille siis. Jo rautatieasemalla oli opasteet paikalliselle urheiluareenalle SAAB-areenalle. SAAB-olut kylläkin … Continue reading
IRST tulevan ilmasodan todennäköisesti tärkein sensori.
Kaikilla lentokoneilla on mahdollisuus valita laittaako tutka päälle vai ei, mutta moottori täytyy olla päällä jos haluaa lentää. Tähän oikeastaan tiivistyy IRSTn tärkeyden ydin: Lämpösensori havaitsee lämpöä, lentävän koneen moottori käy, moottori tuottaa lämpöä eli lämpösensori havaitsee lentäviä koneita. Aika … Continue reading
