Suckoi... SU-37 or 34

Looks like a WWI Carrier...

Su-34 Platypus. Supposed to replace Su-24 in ground attack and maritime strike roles, but the Ruskies weren't able to cough up enough money.

Sorry about the repeated plane pics, I'll try to find something else.

Nope. It isn't American. American carrier hulls have open hangar bulwarks

No... it's post WW1 and was operational in WW2

Hey, I was only joking. Keep 'em coming. That's what this is all about.


If no one gets the carrier by Monday, I'll provide the answer. Until then, Mama Mia! Have some spaghetti, or rigatoni, or pizza or maybe even a little lasagna.

It's the Aquila. Pretty good looking. The Italians always did build nice looking ships.

Bingo! I was trying to find a better picture, but that was as good as I could dig up

I am not really a ship kinda guy... so I hope this is not too easy...
The big one...

[SprCForr]

Kiev class VTOL cruiser. Don't know which specific one.

The pics I have list the fol hull numbers:
Kiev: 062
Minsk: 117
Novorossiysk: 137

Don't know which one is 121, unless it's a case of maskirova.

The viewed numbers on this thread are climbing fast. To all the lurkers out there, jump in. Doesn't matter if you're wrong, that's part of the fun. You won't be made fun of.

That is the Admiral Gorshkov.

It was originally the Baku

The Soviets and subseqently the Russians had a habit of changing the hull number when the name was changed on the ship. Gorshkov is often considered a different class from the others.

That must be the station wagon of fighters if you think it's a Zero.

That deeply hurt me when that was written . It ruined the rest of my week. I am still not over it . And if you believe all that...

That was easy... Down the the Hull Number.... I was going for... KIEV Class.

Go ahead, post something, somebody, nothing wrong with trying to guess 2 or 3 at a time.

I stump you guys once... I am going for a second term...
Back to airplanes....

Yup... knew it was Russian from the little bit of the control surfaces that can be seen.

I'm going with the MiG 31 Foxhound
