MiG-29 Fulcrum |
Fausto Romeo's Review The other side of the coin is represented by the crucial issue of disclosure margin. Sure enough, the Cold War is over and there have been many beneficial spin-off effects of military technologies that have successfully made their way into the civil world. But let us not forget that anything touching upon the more specific aspects of any modern fighter jet may still be classified, and rightly so. This is all the more true in the case of Soviet/Russian military technology and equipment which is still deployed by the armed forces of many countries around the globe. When I was in the US, for example, I heard more than one time people telling me that anything related to 4-th generation Russian fighters was 'no big deal', and that there was no reason for such material to be still classified. To this assertion, I would like to reply that despite the difficult situation faced by Russia and all CIS republics, a lot of sensitive material that might lightheartedly be discounted as 'irrelevant' in the West, is in fact still of great military and technological relevance. To indiscriminately include it in a PC flight simulation would constitute an intolerable security leak, and a violation of state and military secrets. |
