Military FAQ thread

What's this?

I found these images of models ships being displayed along with some modern Chinese warships. Looks Russian and WWII battleship era but it looks like a lot of VLS tubes. Can anyone identify?

Also can anyone identify this?

Possibly a model of one of the modern warship without the covering for stealth?

Re: What's this?

I really don't think WWII battleships have Vertical Launch Systems on board. The model shown is Russia's Kirov class battlecruiser, the largest non aircraft carrier warship in the world today.

Jeesus guys...I knew that most of you have some gaps in the general knowlidge of various military equipment but this is just...

The ship in the model is Kalinin, or nowadays Admiral Nachimov, third of the Kirov class cruisers.

The vehicle in otherhand is 64N6E (NATO Big bird) target aqustion radar for S-300 SAM system, the hauler is MAZ-79106

In future, simple questions like these to their proper home, which is the military FAQ thread in world armed forces forum

I freely admit I'm not fully knowledgeable on such matters especially on navy forces of the world. I just read what comes across me. That's why also I come into this board for info.

BTW, I had the same reaction when you asked that question about why Chinese athletes haven't won that many Olympic medals. It could have easily been interpreted as ignorance or an insult. Oh would I love to reply to the many ignorant comments I've seen from posters who are obviously "Westerners" in here. Some may know about the military but when it comes to about everything else that's discussed in here... whew!!!

Let's not be as inhospitable as in another forum that I've seen that also takes jabs at this forum.

Can anyone ID this Chiense cavalry picture?

Hi there,

I wonder if anyone here could tell me anything about this picture of a group of Chinese cavalry please? Would anyone know where the picture is from (a film or poster possibly?), where it was taken or who the cavalry unit are?

Thanks in advance for any help

Re: What's this?

well this isent sports forum And what I recall, I made a open wonder (with hidden critisism) from a western sportmans point of wiev, why doesent China appriciate the olympics, one of the greatest things that mankind has managed to pull together....

And Im openly noob about chinese society and political/cultural stuff, mainly becouse Im not intressed of them. What I know is about military of China, and that is what this Forum is about.

And like I said we have dedicated thread for noob questions so there isen't much ground for mourning.

Kirov class is one of the most distigtive warships around and thus it should be reqocnized by all. Ofcourse none forces you to do so, but in the other hand if you dare to ask so obvious questions then you out to be repeared all the smart-assness that comes alongside it.

Now the reason why I keep jabbing about the basic knowledge stuff is becouse you cannot reasonably discuss and analyze chinese military if you don't have any clue of the bigger picture and how the things are runned in other parts of the world. You cannot reflect the narrow knowledge to anything that you don't know. Thats one of the major reasons for nationalistic boasting and over-estimations that are so common in all these forums.

And you have been here long enough to know my style and you and everyone else should know that I don't give ***** about what some other forums think of us...numbers speak from themselves. We still hold highest quality of discussion over chinese military.

So I apologize if I hurt your feelings but like I said, you need to be redy for feedback...

Don't worry. You didn't hurt my feelings.

Yeah SinoDefence is the best one even long before there was a forum. I only brought up the other forum because I see that kind of attitude creeping into this one.

Well Golly is good to keep out all sort of attitudes so just name them and I will... :nono::nono:
