Thank you, I think i can proceede with translation now smile


IFF = identifies friends or foe, is an electronic equipment for automatic identification, with secret codes exchange
between radar and aircraft, only aircraft use it,(not used for civilian plane)
if the response is positive OUR aircraft will be as a big "banana" in radar echo, else he still as usual radar echo.
this code can change every days (or hours)in war time,or every month in peace time,
there is no way to enemies to send the same code "to be Friend" for the radar !

enemy with IFF off = don't exist !

I already knew the concept of IFF, but i didn't know that the IFF codes were kept at such secrecy, so I thought that each "army" could identify both enemy and friedly IFF emissions.
Again, thank you! wink

enemy aircraft, when doing operation in enemy land, must do "radio silence", that's mean
a condition in which all radio equipment capable of radiation is kept inoperative,
may be except on board radar in certain case,
enemy aircraft never use IFF in enemy land!
