This new variant is fitted with an automatic stability system, a powerplant of lower IR signature, and a central fuselage structure with improved resistance to fire damage. The aircraft is fully optimized for its ant-tank role with a Voshkod nav/attack system with two digital computers, INS and Schkval optronic system that uses a high-magnification TV camera and LRMTS to acquire targets at a range of some 10 km where the image is displayed on a CRT for identification by the pilot; target tracking, weapon selection and weapon release are all fully automatic after target designation.

I do remember another two sites which used to be around, one of which I don't remember much about except it used a lot of the colour grey and had a fair amount of information, while the other was called "Under the Spreading Mushroom cloud". Does anyone know what happened to these? Also, this summer, I intend to publish my own Twilight 2000/Merc 2000 page which should be the biggest, most comprehensive site to date......

I don't mean to sound to pessemistic Teemu, but don't worry about them saying no... they won't... they just won't bother to take the fucking time to write you back. Quite honestly, I think just calling a file Twilight: 2000 and throwing it on the web is a breach of a trademark. I'm pretty sure they could shut down all of our sites on that kind of permise. I have an adventure- Gateway to the Spanish Main (given to me by someone who's name I do not want to incriminate) in Word. I havn't put it up however. I suppose that Tantalus would notice a direct copyright infrignment- moreso than some people trying to keep a game alive. My fear would be that, on noticing that infringment, they might go full blown and do the Paramount thing...
