Threat Training Facility
Nellis has a sizable collection of Russian equipment seized from various sources… primarily our actions in Iraq. This equipment—SAM systems, tanks, helicopters, et cetera—is made available to airman so that they may be fully familiar with these systems as they pose the greatest the American aircraft. You can climb on, in and around various tanks, numerous radar systems, mobile SAM launchers and anti-aircraft artillery pieces. It’s pretty awesome… like a giant jungle gym for pilots and other airmen. Below you’ll find twenty-four pictures I took there. Enjoy.
