 Kamov Ka-22 Vintokryl   Yak-36  Tu-123 Yastreb (Hawk, Russian: Ястреб) was one of the earliest Soviet reconnaissance drones that began development in 1960. Sometimes referred to as the "DBR-1", it was introduced into active service in 1964.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Stonecutter6: As a former Tank PL that is truly terrifying if they have all the bugs worked out. 4 ATGMs from one vehicle could really put a hurt on a Tank Platoon, let alone the likely 2 other Uran 9s in the Russian Platoon as well, all unmanned and operated from a safe space behind a terrain feature out of direct fire. I'm not all that worried by UGVs, at least for the time being, while they still require remote control. It's very easy to get them stuck like all armored vehicles, and there are a bunch of other drawbacks that no one seems to want to talk about. I guess against people who don't have any tanks at all, but I don't think they would last long. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Roddy556: Cool thread. The N1 rocket was the most powerful rocket ever built. Unfortunately after the lead designer Korolev passed away they ran into a number of issues. Four launch attempts all failed in one way or another, one of which resulted in one the largest non nuclear explosions ever created. It's a shame as a Soviet presence on the moon would probably have encouraged America to continue its lunar programs. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/365646/N1_1M1_mockup_on_the_launch_pad_at_the_B-1536296.JPG Compared to the Saturn V: https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/365646/170px-N1_Saturn5_jpg-1536301.JPG Soviet rockets are assembled horizontally and moved on special trains: https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/365646/s30t2SFQoSYGWSeAzq6QtA4Gi3e3CtuV8kesIuaw-1536302.JPG One of the launch failures: https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/365646/unnamed__1__jpg-1536306.JPG It would have carried a special Soyuz spacecraft as well as the LK lunar lander. The LK was a bit more crude than the Grumman built Lunar Module and only able to carry one crewman but it likely would have got the job done: https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/365646/lk1_jpg-1536304.JPG That looks like Grue's rocket he used to steal the moon.
