Line 319:
: MiG, Su, Tu, Il, MD, etc are just part of the aircraft designation or model number. No need to overanalyze it. The recent change was to use manufacturer-designation-name system for US mil aircraft. Soviet/Russian and other nations' have used this system for some time. -[[User:Fnlayson|Fnlayson]] ([[User talk:Fnlayson|talk]]) 14:07, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
::The firearms wikiproject wanted to do something similar to this, for example "Benelli M4 Super 90". They also wanted to do with the Dragunov sniper rifle, which is called the SVD. SVD stands for Dragunov sniper rifle in Russian, so what they were calling it was "Dragunov Dragunov sniper rifle". Of coruse they were sensible enough to just translate it into English to avoid any repitition. That's exactly what's happening here.--[[User:Patton123|Patton123]] ([[User talk:Patton123|talk]]) 14:50, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
