Was a bit free so made this little info graphic.

You're an avgeek and thats how your explore looks like. Quote yours 🤙🤙

My ancestors build this city called Mohenjo-Daro in Pakistan. It was a major city of Indus Valley Civilization which was one of the oldest civilizations of the world.

My ancestors built some cool stuff 🇪🇬

@ReemAmirIbrahim This is absolutely so cool 😍

@BLackgold_5 No spoilers and no thrust reversers deployed. Had the pilot continued landing he would've definately overran the runway. I dont knwo what the deployment sequence of spoilers or TR on 767 but it was good presence of mind by pilot to go around.

@Noonecares89476 I know but for peace time long range transit, surface travel is better.

@Trenchant2 Mery bhai for long range transit voyage it has to run on powerful diesel engine for faster travel on surface. If it will get submerged it will have to run on battery power which will be slower.

[Paradox (8-nil) @altfoxb]

I believe the entire transit from China to Pakistan was conducted surfaced cuz thats when submarine is faster & navigation is much easier.

Also the way a stealth fighter masks its RCS by radar reflector, a sub also masks its stealth properties during such voyage.

PNS HANGOR HAS OFFICIALLY ARRIVED IN PAKISTAN 🇵🇰

It was escorted by Pakistan Naval Aviation upon its arrival in Pakistani waters.

@VishnuNDTV Indian Navy will have its own PL-15 "E" moment 😉

@TasnimAt54b But since stirling engine produce exhaust so expelling becomes challenging in depth as outside pressure is higher, if I'm not mistaken?

[Paradox (8-nil) @altfoxb]

@Anon_Noticer @TasnimAt54b Submarine is used in a much different way when it is operationally deployed. A submarine during transit is deliberately way too louder but its pin drop silent on war time deployment.

Normally long Transit Voyage on Surface.
There are SOPs to take care of signatures etc

[Paradox (8-nil) @altfoxb]

@TasnimAt54b Absolutely. Also sir correct me if I'm wrong & also you can choose not to answer if you think its not okay to speak about it on social media; that subs exhaust management is a key as well cuz expelling gases at higher depth becomes difficult.

[Paradox (8-nil) @altfoxb]

During deployment sub manages alot of things to avoid passive detection like moving at low speeds to prevent cavitation, dampening internal machinery sound, avoid any kind of emission, degausse to reduce magnetism.
In transit mode sub would be doing opposite of it all.

One interesting thing to notice on older Hornets are LEX Fences. These were added to cancel out the effect of vortices generated by leading edge extensions that would ultimately induce severe oscillations in vertical stabilizer leading to structural failures.

[Paradox (8-nil) @altfoxb]

In Super Hornet this was resolved by complete redesign of leading edge extensions and adding vents in place of LEX fencers.

Spanish Hornet jock with Hobit. In another still its carrying captive Aim2000 on wingtip.

But then again nobody can come close to the OG. A Swiss Hornet jock of no. 11 sqn wearing his JHMCS. See the NATO Tigers patch.
