Re: Military FAQ
All the nicknames of soviet planes like Flanker, Flogger, Fishbed are given by NATO, not by the soviets.

...and cargo planes with 'C', hellacopters with 'H', misclenaous with 'M'....also Missiles have their NATO names, like starting wiht 'S' to SSMs, 'G' to SAMs, 'A' to archers and 'K' to ASMs...There are also US armyes own names like Sa-1, AS-14, SS-18, SS-N-3...or was it other way around
Also, ship class names are NATO given, such as TYPHOON, ALUKA, OSA, KRESTA, KARA, NATYA...thougth some bigger ships, like SVerldovs, Moskvas, Kievs, Sovromenyys, Kirovs, Udaloys and Slavas have enherited their class lead hip name to be a class name...

Re: Military FAQ
fbw = fly-by-wire. As opposed to mechanical linkages, fbw aircraft have the pilot input converted to electronic signals which the flight control computer uses in conjunction with flight data to calculate, for example, the correct aileron/rudder deflection and then tells the actuators, usually hydraulically powered, to move the control surfaces for the pilot's intended aircraft response.
