Sigma uses Foveon sensors, not Bayer, that is why there is no CFA involved. And that is why IR photography is not a mod for Sigma, the dust protector/IR filter is designed to be removable in a few seconds and you can put it back just as easy. I think the Sigma engineers designed the camera as a potential IR camera.

Heh, even Glushko (the constructor of RD-170) himself couldn't believe that it was possible, that was the reason for the conflict with Korolyov. So Korolyov gave the engine development to an airplane engine designer who didn't know that it was impossible and NK-33 came out of this.

Like what? I don't really think Russia is really much help to the separatists there, besides maybe turning a blind eye to firearm smuggling. Compare that with the quick, professional and bloodless annexation of Crimea and you'll see what I mean.

All the photo "proof" that was shown to us was quickly proven to be bogus.

Dude, you fail simultaneously at history and at geography.
First, there was no indifference before WW1 and afterwards.
Here is one of the reasons why USSR has mistrusted USA since the beginning. And here is why the distrust was mutual.

Here is how the mutual friendship looked like.
And here is a map of Ukraine. The red peninsula in the southeast is Crimea. No matter how you look, it isn't even close to be "most of Ukraine".
