CHP vs. USMC

 

Top this for a speeding ticketTwo California Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on I-15, just north of the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar. One of the officers was using a handheld radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the crest of a hill.The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and then turned off.

 

Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet, which was engaged in a low flying exercise near the location.Back at the CHP Headquarters the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the USMC Base Commander. The reply came back in true USMC style:

 

Thank you for your letter. We can now complete the file on this incident.You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked on to, your hostile radar equipment and automa tical ly sent a jamming signal back to it, which is why it shut down. Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground missile aboard the fully armed aircraft had also automatically locked on to your equipment location. Fortunately, the Marine Pilot flying the Hornet recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile system alert status and was able to override the automated defense system before the missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar position.

 

The pilot also suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them, since the video systems on these jets are very high tech. Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding g the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his left rear molar. It appears the filling is loose. Also, the snap is broken on his holster.Thank you for your concern. Semper Fi.

hmmm sounds fomular

 

Two British traffic patrol officers from North Berwick were involved

in an unusual incident, while checking for speeding motorists on the

A-1 Great North Road .

 

One of the officers (who are not named) used a hand-held radar device

to check the speed of a vehicle approaching over the crest of a hill,

and was surprised when the speed was recorded at over 300mph. The

machine then stopped working and the officers were not able to reset it.

 

The radar had in fact latched on to a NATO Tornado fighter jet over

the North Sea , which was engaged in a low-flying exercise over the

Border district.

 

Back at police headquarters the chief constable fired off a stiff

complaint to the RAF Liaison office.

 

Back came the reply in true laconic RAF style. 'Thank you for your

message, which allows us to complete the file on this incident. You

may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Tornado

had automatically locked on to your 'hostile radar equipment' and sent

a jamming signal back to it. Furthermore, the Sidewinder Air-to-ground

missiles aboard the fully-armed aircraft had also locked on to the

target. Fortunately the Dutch pilot flying the Tornado responded to

the missile status alert intelligently and was able to override the

automatic protection system before the missile was launched'.

up urs assholes

 

correct me if wrong but is sidewinder not air to air only?

 

 

[Zeno~SPARTA~]

That is correct, heatseaking if I am not mistaken, Maverick would have been a choice, lol.

[Durka-Durka~SPARTA~]

My head just exploded. :blink:

There are several different types of sidewinder missiles. The 9L has a advanced heatseaking device and the 9x can be guided by the pilots helmet. He only has to look at the target and the missile will go there.

 

The Maverick is mainly used in the tv guided version wich can only be used on aircrafts with a RIO and not all versions of the F/18 has that. There also is a laser guided version.

 

The AIM 120 AMRAM is a more advanced air to air laser guided missile that can be programmed to a specific target and when aproaching it giudes itself the rest of its way. Its more heavy than the AIM 9 sidewinder and its a medium range missile.

 

 

Last we have the AIM 54 Valkyrie missile mounted on the F/14. The missile is couple to the aircrafts special radar AWG-9 that can detect enemys over 200 miles and lock on to them. This means that the pilot can fire the missile without even seeing the enemy and the enemy dosn´t even see the aicraft. Its mainly used for shooting down Soviet bombers ect, because the missile is big and have poor manouvrebillity.

 

The above (F/14) is retired from active duty

 

 

 

Ok its been a while since my knowledge on these thinks were up to date so i hope they are correct. I am a little doubtfull about the L and x but i think that its correct.
