Deda sa slike se inace zove Ali Abid Minqash. Po padu Sadama Huseina pronasli su ga Kuvajtski novinari i evo sta im je rekao:

"The elderly Iraqi farmer who, according to Baghdad officials, literally shot his way to fame by downing a state-of-the-art US Apache helicopter with an old carbine has flatly denied he had anything to do with the crash.

At the height of the war, Iraqi TV showed pictures of the downed aircraft and said it had been shot down by farmer Ali Abid Minqash.

It broadcast poetry in praise of the "farmer who harvests both rice and Apaches". The local branch of the agricultural union also presented Mr Minqash with a plaque to commemorate his action.

Pictures of the results of Minqash's alleged feat were rebroadcast on pan-Arab TV stations and Saddam Hussein himself praised the farmer in a televised address urging resistance to the US-led forces as part of a "people's war".

"You probably remember the gallant Iraqi peasant who shot down a US Apache using an old weapon, the Brno," the Iraqi leader said on 4 April.

"Strike at your enemy strongly. Strike at your enemy with your strong faith wherever he comes close to you."

But a Kuwaiti newspaper, al-Rai al-Am, says it has now tracked down the farmer, albeit with considerable difficulty.

"It might be easier to find ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein than to get to Minqash who rose to instant stardom on the satellite TV channels," it commented.

'I rubbed my eyes...'

Minqash told the paper that he had come across the aircraft in his field early one morning.

"I didn't shoot down an Apache or anything else. All that happened was that I went to the field, as I usually do early in the morning, and was surprised to find some bodies on the ground.

"I began to rub my eyes to make sure that what I was seeing was true or whether I was imagining it," he said.


Jubilant Iraqis celebrate Minqash's 'feat'
"When I realised that it was really true, I was overcome by fear and rushed to the nearest government post to inform them that there was a plane in my field.

"A large number of Baath party members and security men came with me to investigate. They told me that it was an American Apache aircraft and made me stay with them until someone who they said was a senior official arrived. I didn't know who he was.

"They asked me to say what you have heard on the TV satellite channels - that I shot down the plane with an old gun, a Brno."

Eh, pa mozda su sada ti kuvaitski novinari chichi dali kintu da kaze to sto je rekao, a i nisu morali, mogu da pisu sta hoce, ajd' ko ce da proveri!?  Mozda je chicha puko pilota u tintaru (te stare puske su jake), heli se oteo kontroli i eto...
Mislim, idu mi na leukocite Ameri sa svojim velicanjem njihovog bilo cega. Vec su dosadni, a gde god je trebalo da pokazu mudo tu su se sjebali, pobedjuju samo tehnikom i brojnoscu - ocu reci, kada su slabiji i kad ih se pritisne, pucaju ko zveceke, urlaju i ... ma, jedu g...a

Ura za aliene koji ce isisavati mozgove i utrobe od LA do NY - strah, tortura, gruaaaaahaaaaahaaaargrrrrrr!
 

Hehehe...ovo me podseca na ona americka proseravanja kako i Abramsi nikada nisu unisteni u borbi od strane neprijateljske vatre. 

A na netu moze covek u prvih par minuta da nadje bar 20 razlicitih slika. 

Lazovcine su to,najvece na svetu.

@Torivoje,hvala na tekstu,druze. 

Nije me bilo par dana,pa tek sada odgovaram : nema na čemu hkj.
Sada treba vredno prionuti na proučavanje upravljačke table...Ako tokom III svetskog rata,kao pripadnik kinesko-ruskog invazionog korpusa postanem jenkijevski POW,znaću kako da uteknem pilotirajući ovom živuljkom...
Što bi´ ja bio gluplji od Majkla Dudikofa !

Znanje je uvek dobrodoslo i znati sto vise nikad nije na odmet.

p.s: no, treba biti pametan pa shvatiti da nikad ne znas sve

To se podrazumeva.

Pozdrav!

Zato ciste avioni te stvarcice. Stvar je u maskiranju, ako posada zna da sakrije PVO sredtsva i da ih upotrebi u pravom trenutku prava stvar. Inace, taj helikopter je koncipiran za borbu protiv oklopa i za podrsku oklopnim jedinicama i da se koristi masovno, ovo mu je prirucna uloga, kao i Rusima upotreba helikoptera u Avganistanu. Jednostavna racunica, mozes naci nekih sto ljudi za dosta manje para sa rucnim PVO sistemima, jedan ce ga oboriti ili barem izbaciti iz upotrebe. 


Dobra stvar, debela buba 
Ali hebi ga, koncept mesovit, da prevozi posadu, da nosi dosta necega od oruzja i oklop, na stetu pokretljivosti koja ustvari spasava helikopter. Jak je ali nazalost dobra meta. AH tu ima malo veci procenat prezivljavanja u okretljivosti. Ali opet pleni paznju na svakom aero mitingu.


KOd njih je vojska politicka svetinja, izbio bi tamo odma neki puc da oce da kresu askar


Za ovih desetak godina su te bezpilotne dosta iznapredovale, najveci im je problem elektronika a sa time i upravljanje. Danas su sve vise automatizovane i sve vise misle svojom glavom
Samo evo primera sta civilne verzije mogu:


U borbi ne, al kad naleti na minu napravljenu od granate 155 mm, ode i on, nista nije neunistivo, Palestinci su unistili dve Merkave sa TNT-om, sve je stvar u kolicini. Fazon je opet prezivljavanje, u velikoj meri je posada uspela da izidje citava iz unostenog tenka.





Napomena, ovo rade uz pomocu trackig view, znaci, putanju rade sami. A sta ce da prave za desetak godina, vec me strah, tu jedino sacmara pomaze 

Ne brini Maradicu : "svaka tica svoga kobca ima!"

Ma ne brinem se ja nego me pomalo strah od ovih stvarcica
