Dropping flares from a jet to a helicopter is a tactical maneuver that serves a specific purpose in military aviation. Countermeasures Against Heat-Seeking Missiles: Flares are used as countermeasures to defend against heat-seeking surface-to-air or air-to-air missiles that are fired at planes and helicopters. When an enemy missile is launched, it homes in on the heat signature emitted by the aircraft's engines or afterburners. The flares serve as decoys by burning at thousands of degrees Celsius, which is much hotter than the exhaust heat from the aircraft's engines. By deploying flares, the aircraft attempts to divert the missile away from the actual target (the aircraft) and toward the heat source (the flares). How It Works: When a missile is detected, the pilot releases a flare dispenser that ejects several flares. These flares burn brightly, creating a false heat signature that attracts the missile. Ideally, the missile locks onto the flares instead of the aircraft, allowing the aircraft to evade the threat. Safety and Professionalism: The recent incident involving a Chinese fighter jet detonating flares close to an Australian Navy helicopter was deemed unsafe and unprofessional by the Australian Defence Department. The Chinese fighter released flares along the flight path of the Australian helicopter, posing a risk to both the aircraft and personnel. The Australian government expressed its concerns to China, emphasizing the need for professional and safe military operations. Remember, flares…

Einer wird gewinnen - und ich weiss nach einer Woche Arbeit: Es wird nicht der Bambus sein ... A long fight, but a real Warrior never gives in ... And as I am neither playing Golf nor do I go fishing ... Working in the garden is for me meditation and more ... Think first, then act. What makes you laugh?Peter H fighting against Invasive Bamboo in his Gold Coast Garden Just thought about Nietzsche and his sad ending - hugging a horse. He was looking into the eyes of the horse, and he noticed some hidden sadness there. As the horse was not able to respond, Nietzsche hugged the horse. He knew about Body Language. Then he fell silent for good. Because Silence is Golden. Music Is The Language: But Silenve is golden. Reden ist Silber - Schweigen ist Gold.

Fingal Heads and Kingscliff Cudgen have developed recently significantly! Today we had the chance to re - visit this area across the QLD border into New South Wales, after heavy rainfalls. A lighthouse in navigation is like a steadfast guardian, its beam a guiding whisper across the tumultuous sea, ensuring safe passage through the treacherous embrace of the waves. 🏮💡🌊 Credit phb Credit phb Credit phb The Fingal Head Lighthouse, located in New South Wales, Australia, has a rich history dating back to the 1860s. The first lighthouse was lit in 1872 to address the dangers posed by reefs and deep waters near the shore. The current lighthouse, completed in 1879, was designed by Colonial architect James Barnett and is the oldest public building in the Tweed Shire¹. William Arnold was the first lighthouse keeper, assuming his duties on March 30, 1879. He, along with his wife Henrietta and their 11 children, lived at the lighthouse keeper's residence for 27 years until his retirement on September 1, 1906. The residence was demolished in 1923 when the lighthouse was automated¹. The lighthouse's original apparatus was a Chance Bros 4th order Catadioptric fixed lens, illuminated by a two-wick burner. It underwent several upgrades over the years, including conversion to automatic acetylene operation in 1923 and to mains electricity in 1970. In early 2021, it was converted to an LED light source¹.
