Mi-24 is based on Mi-8 which is one of the most used medium-class helichoppers, so it's all normal with its mechanics and vibrations. The double bolts (and obviously not intentionally broken) are just a redundancy, required by the combat usage. Originally it was an attempt to build a flying IFV rather than flying ATGM launcher like Apache, so it was equipped with similar to IFV manually guided ATGM and windows used as embrasures for the trooper firearms. The usage has shown that aerial rifle shooting is a loss of ammo, and the absolute majority of targets aren't tanks, but soft aims, field fortification, or other objects which prefers a rain of unguided rockets rather than an ATGM. As the flying ATGM launchers like Mi-28 and Ka-50/52 with homing ATGM were already (under development / in early production), there was no need in the Mi-24 rework.

No. Our respected partners wouldn't let to lie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_the_Vietnam_War https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-phosphorous-idUSKBN1951CY The phosphorus usage is prohibited against teh civilians and in the populated areas. Also, theoretically, it's prohibited (like any incendiary) as a weapon causing excessive suffer when damaging the life force is its primary usage. But as it's widely used as smoke, engineers', and anti-tank ammo, this is also a gray zone. *** Also the man on the photo can't use "Molotov cocktail" because it was never called so in the USSR, it's a purely Western nickname. Soviet army was using "KS mixture", and this is not just the "Molotov cocktail", it's a chemistry.

How To Make A Scifi Tractor Beam....
kerbiloid replied to Spacescifi's topic in Science & Spaceflight
It's not enough to pull it up, it's necessary to accelerate it up to 8 km/s to stop it from falling down. Unless you have a permanent antigravity ship. But then why need this pulling. -
Only in NASA. They need the experienced guys with advanced knowledge of Kerbal celestial mechanics.

How To Make A Scifi Tractor Beam....
kerbiloid replied to Spacescifi's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Decrease the quantum foam pressure between the ship and the target. The quantum pressure will be pushing the target from behind, and it will drift to the ship. Maybe use some kind of Casimir effect for that. -

Not perfectly. Its lakes occupy only a half of Minmus. So, it was just partially melted. The liquid part evaporated, the flat surface stays. The hills were more heat-proof, so they mostly stay unchanged. If it's captured, its original eccentric orbit could be changed by the Mun gravity. *** As Jool is the only body in this system looking enough heavy to form an ice moon from exhausts, probably Minmus is its former moon which escaped and later approached Kerbin. Or maybe it's a remain of the legendary GP2, which was announced by the KSP authors at the very beginning of the Kerbal planetary system formation, but then disappeared in unknown cataclysm. Jool's SoI radius = 25 000 Mm. Jool moons Semiaxis, Mm Period, ks Laythe 27.2 53 Vall 43.2 106 Tylo 68.5 212 Bop 128.5 545 Pol 179.9 902 The periods ratio is 53 : 106 : 212 : 545 : 902 = 1 : 2 : 4 : 10.3 : 17 So, while the inner moons (Laythe, Vall, and Tylo) are in perfect resonance, two outer moons aren't. This probably means something perturbating their orbits. So, the same couldd pull away Minmus. On the other hand, 17:10.3 = 1.65:1 = 5 : 3. So, Bop and Pol are in resonance with each other. And to some extent with Tylo (10.3 : 4 = 2.575 : 1 ~= 5 : 2) Jool moons Mass, x1022 kg Laythe 2.940 Vall 0.311 Tylo 4.233 Bop 0.004 Pol 0.001 So, Tylo as the heaviest Moon, forms two reonant systems: the inner with Layther and Vall, and the outer with Bop and Pol. Layther is heavy, too, but it's far from the other moons and deep inside the Jool's well, so Tylo prevails. Is there something like the Titius-Bode law? Rn = an-n0 + b Rn+1 = an+1-n0 + b Rn+1 - Rn = an+1-n0 + b - (an-n0 + b) = an+1-n0 - an-n0 = a * an-n0 - an-n0 = (a - 1) * an-n0 . Rn+2 - Rn+1 = an+2-n0 + b - (an+1-n0 + b) = an+2-n0 - an+1-n0 = a * an+1-n0 - an+1-n0 = (a - 1) * an+1-n0 = a*(a - 1) * an-n0 . (Rn+2 - Rn+1) / (Rn+1 - Rn) = a*(a - 1) * an-n0 / ((a - 1) * an-n0 ) = a. Semiaxis R, Mm Rn-1 - Rn Laythe 27.2 - Vall 43.2 16.0 Tylo 68.5 25.3 Bop 128.5 60.0 Pol 179.9 51.4 dR Vall-Laythe 16.0 Tylo-Vall 25.3 Bop-Tylo 60.0 Pol-Bop 51.4 dR dRn+2 / dRn+1 (Tylo-Vall) / (Vall-Laythe) 16.0 1.58 (Bop-Tylo) / (Tylo-Vall) 25.3 2.37 (Pol-Bop) / (Bop-Tylo) 60.0 0.86 So, there is no Titius-Bode law in the Jool moon system, applicable to all moons. This means that the moon system has been perturbated, and the equilibrium hasn't been established yet. But the SoI of Jool is much larger. 25 000 Mm vs 180 Mm of Pol orbit. This means that the outer region of the SoI had been perturbated and lost its content. The closest planet to the Jool are Dres and Eeloo. Planet Orbit semiaxis, Mm Distance to Jool, Mm Distance to Jool,Jool SoIs Dres 40 839 27 935 1.1 Jool 68 774 - Eeloo 90 119 21 345 0.85 So, as we can see, both Dres and Eeloo are either inside or almost inside the Jool SoI, so they are actually the Jool's quasi-moons, like the Earth's quasi-moon Cruithne. It's a KSP devs fake-up real evidence that there is no Dres Eeloo, Dres, and probably Minmus are the former Joolian moons, previously orbiting in the outer part of it sphere of influence.

Btw, the Minmus as a Kerbin satellite is enough old to have its orbit round (eccentricity = 0), but younger than normally, as its inclination is 6°, so didn't have enough time to match the Kerbin equatorial plane.. While the Mun orbit is perfectly round and not inclined, while the Mun is much heavier. So, whatever is the Minmus origin, it appeared near Kerbin much later than Mun. Its orbit semiaxis is 47 Mm, while the Kerbin sphere of influence is jus 84 Mm. So, the Minmus orbit is almost touching the Kerbin SoI, and this may mean that it's either captured, or almost thrown away. The Minmus/Mun orbital periods ratio is ~=7.75133109:1 So, they are not in a resonance, and this again proves that Minmus didn't have enough time to establish such resonance. So, Minmus appeared in the Kerbin SoI not long ago, and it unlikely be anything but a captured ice object. But an ice object couldn't grow at the Kerbin distance from Sun, it would melt and evaporate. So, it had formed farther from the Sun, where the ice is normal, then approached and captured. But it's rather big to be a comet, so it's either an escaped icy moon, or an iceteroid, or a main belt comet. Normally they can stay comets for 10 000 years The ice lakes are obviously melted then frozen. As Minmus is captured, its relative speed was low. So, it's a former Near-Kerbin iceteroid (maybe formed as somebody's moon). Its orbital period is greater than the Kerbin rotation period, so the Kerbin rotation is accelerating it and will throw out. As we don't see other ice objects of similar size, so the Kerbal solar system is not full of matter for huge asteroid building. This means that Minmus has formed in another planet sphere of influence, then escaped, drifting on the heliocentric orbit getting more and more round. As it was close to the Sun, Minmus probably partially melted and lost some amount of matter. Then it was captured by Kerbin, tidally melted, frozen, and now is slowly drifting away. The "lakes" are a frozen, previously melted, areas. The hills are frozen crystal peaks of ice.
