R-33
I'd like to clarify things discussed on Talk:Vympel_R-33 --jno 12:25, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

I was talking about this edit. ... OOOPSSS... It was in "older story" section. I've got a flew and this seem affected my ability to concentrate on text :-(. Sorry. The production version of R-33 has inertial/SARH and that's correct (btw, I have no reliable source for K-37 homing, which is still "under construction" regardless of shows and designers' awards). --jno 12:48, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

I have quoted it in the text: The source: Technics and Munition yesterday, today, tomorrw magazine, №2.06, subscribtion index 71186, monography Home made guided AA missiles by R.Arkhangelski and V.Korovin. --jno 12:50, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Sure, SARH is s "safe bet". I'm just trying to keep things more consistent as the idea of enciclopedia require (im my understanding, of course).

JFYI: there are two russian local magazines "Aviation and Cosmonautics" (Авиация и космонавтика) and "Thechnics and Munition" (Техника и вооружение) which oftem publish excellent monographies dedicated to sertain kinds of russia/ussr-born weapon. I'd recommend them to anyone interested - nowadays, they are much much better (precise) than famous Jane's papers. --jno 13:03, 5 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Perhaps, you are right on merge. AFAIK, R-37 itself is sorta journalizm (like, say, Su-47). Just because it was not entered service (the R- prefix is assigned to a missile when it officially enters the service, until then it usually has a K- series index or (now) a sort of PR name like RVV-AE).

Plus, I aint sure the K-37 is intended to fight AWACS. First of all, it's just "the main caliber" of modernized MiG-31M interceptor. The weapon system consisted of MiG-31 and R-33 is intended to cover huge territories (russian north, for instance) were the deployment of SAMs is too difficult (4 MiG-31 can cover 900km of front line). I.e. just to replace Tu-128 with R-4 (K-80) missiles and MiG-25/R-40. The main intention of MiG-31M seem to be improvement the operation characteristics - range, size, and speed of targets it can shot down. _I_ suppose, counter-AWACS-role is one of the possible utilizations of the new features. The other one can be, say, counter-ballistic-missile-role (sort of ABM). --jno 13:30, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

My RfA
I'm leaving this macrophage, a particularly hungry white blood cell on your talk page, I just finished a rewrite of its article and realized they're not so different from administrators, as they keep their surroundings clean, doing away with anything that's not supposed to be there... Anyway, with that short lecture on cell biology done with, I'd like to thank you for your vote on my RfA, which passed with (49/2/0), I'll do my best to not let you down, and if you see me heading towards a common newbie mistake, please nudge me in the right direction :) -- O bli (Talk) ? 20:40, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey, how is it going? Thank you for supporting my Request for adminship! It passed with a final vote of 73/1/1, which means that I have been granted adminship! I look forward to using these tools to enhance and maintain this wonderful site.

speedy tags
I noticed that another user had removed your speedy tags on The Schoeners. I replaced them and left the user a notice not to remove them again. That said, I really have no opinion on the matter, and I'm not really sure they deserve to be speedied, so I will leave it to you to argue the case. My work here is done. :) See you!
