А теперь..., вот что пишут о участии индийских пилотов в августовском "Красном Флаге"....
машинный перевод абзаца и основной смысл статьи:
"Радарные частоты - главная тайна, поскольку они могут быть использованы, чтобы заблокировать жизненные функции истребителя," говорят представители индийских воздушных сил, которые добавляют: "В то время как у нас есть хорошие отношения с США, мы должны быть осторожными относительно будущего." Американцы проявляют интерес о свойствах системы произведенных (???) в Китае и разработанных русскими для Su-30-ых, и Москва ранее заявила, что радарные частоты MKI не должны быть раскрыты.

Млин!!! А почему у нас такого нет??!!Сообщение от Холостяк
ОЧЕНЬ хороший вопрос!!!Млин!!! А почему у нас такого нет??!!
Действительно у нас такого нет. У нас выпускались, небольшими тиражами, наборы фотографий о ВВС и информационные листы-плакатики о ВВС РФ. И не более. Даже оформить как полагается официальные помещения, будь то штаб авиа полка или дивизии, да что и говорить Штаб ВВС - нет ни элементарной заготовки, ни элементарного шаблона, ни специалистов или хотя бы пособия по этой тематике типа "Умелые руки". Как в советское время был "минимум" небходимой инфы для наглядки в служебных помещениях. В этом заслуга Управления воспитательной работы ВВС.... Вот американцы взяли на вооружение все методы работы наших советских политработников... Будь то печать, наглядку, культурно-массовые мероприятия... Как говорится современным языком, промоушен ЮэС Аир Форс идет полным ходом... А наши вот как ни новые методы не выдумали, так и старые забыли...
