Testing Starstreak

Seems to work OK. It's good to prove these things under combat situations.







Don't know what they used to bag this one but it seems to work OK as well:

Golly gosh ;))) :ymdevil: apologies, I missed that. Maybe admin2 can delete this thread as it's pointless having two on the same subject.

No apologies required. Your thread is most apposite. :-bd

In the reservoir video it's interesting to see the flares being deployed, presumably to distract incoming missiles.

Yes Llondel, made me wonder. If the Russians are critically low on other resources I bet their use of so many flares in Uk. is going to be diminishing their supplies rapidly since they are possibly only inventoried for a limited conflict. The flares coming off the choppers seem pretty weak compared with the videos of modern stuff, I don't mean just the quantity but the quality as well. The missile tracking system will see the difference..
