Pretty old fashioned. It is a common code for communications over radio. "Ack-Ack" fire is easily understood over "AA" fire.The entire video has no continuity, either.
Ack-ack? Haven't seen that term since I stopped reading comic books about WWII
Yes. The term originated with British signalmen.:thumb:
Modern parlance is 'triple A' or Anti-Aircraft-Artillery.
The Triple A I know about is the rating system for economies. Given the economic problems in UK and the rest of Europe, I see why you would mention it.
You made up a lot of numbers there. I mentioned 12.7 mm. Yes, the Mil-24/35 has a titanium alloy hull.

Guffaw! You should go on stage (and fall down the trapdoor?)The Triple A I know about is the rating system for economies. Given the economic problems in UK and the rest of Europe, I see why you would mention it.
Yep, we don't need to say we're American AA, it's just the AA and not alkies anon.
I said perspex and you said it would take a 23mm to take it down. 14.5mm and 20mm are both in use as AAA
You've never heard of the term 'Ack-Ack' fire? Well, now you know.Can't help it if you don't know the proper parlance though
I was mentioning the largest calibre the Mil-24/35 can take, and that is 12.7 mm. Not only 14.5 mm and 20 mm, but also 40 mm is used as 'Ack-Ack' rounds.I said perspex and you said it would take a 23mm to take it down. 14.5mm and 20mm are both in use as AAA

I said about four pages back, when he said he had full confidence in him it meant he was going down the pan
The situation is very fluid, and there is a media blackout in Syrian government forces controlled areas. Damascus has largely been sanitized. We shall have to wait and see what happens in Aleppo.I said about four pages back, when he said he had full confidence in him it meant he was going down the pan
I have heard of it. I remember it from war comics in my youth. Like pom poms, not the ones used by cheerleaders.You've never heard of the term 'Ack-Ack' fire? Well, now you know.
There's a host of rounds in use as AAA. Please don't say it would take a volley of 23mm when there's plenty of AAA which will take down a Hind.

Sorry, I am not so much into plastic airsoft guns and comics.I have heard of it. I remember it from war comics in my youth. Like pom poms, not the ones used by cheerleaders.
A bit more swerving by you I see
I didn't say that.
Ok.
Perhaps that's what they claim in comics. You can take an AKM (7.62 mm), stand in front of a parked Mil-24/35 and fire away at its canopy, the glass bulbs, the rotor gears, and anything that catches your fancy. Let me know what happens.
No, it ain't. Nothing is invincible in this world.Hind is good, but it's not invincible
More diversion. Getting back to the point, you didn't know what the modern term for AA was and now you doSorry, I am not so much into plastic airsoft guns and comics.
You said:
Sounds very much likeyou did:
Another throw away comment. It's like bullet proof vests, they aren't. Like bullet proof helmets, they aren't. Like silenced firearms, they aren't. Hind is proof against 12.7, but it isn't invincible.Perhaps that's what they claim in comics.

I dunno, maybe the earths core is? However, the main point being anything man manufactured can be destroyed by man and his tools.
