Bummer, no large crowds can wear a single piece of swimwear.
See thread on retreat from Basra and all Kosovo threads.
Go Ugly Early! A-10's, Apache Longbows.
No organized ground force can survive under the umbrella of the E-7 Joint Stars.
I hadn't heard this one. Might be pretty cool. The first C-17 was being built as I left the AF, so I don't know much about it.
I hate to see the 130 go away. It's so ungainly, it's pretty.
It takes between seven and fifteen seconds to load a new shell into the main gun, during which time the main gun cannot be aimed due to the fact that the autoloader must crank the gun up three degrees above the horizontal in order to depress the breech end of the gun and line it up with the new shell.
You know what's amazing about this? Eight years of Clintoon as prez and the Soviets were unable to steal our specs.
Very cool article . . . I'm starting to get this "stuff". ;^)
Thanks. Very inspirational . . . al beit the "ambience" reminded me of the opening to the TV series "Twilight Zone" . . . do not adjust your set . . .
LOL. Probably why they started nudist camps.
Fly boys love targeting them.
That would be fun!
I'm starting to get this stuff, too. It is fun when the pieces start to fit together or you recognize something, especially when I know it's here that I learned it!
Thanks feather.
I have a feeling the Herc is going to be around for a long time yet.
India and Pakistan smoking ruin....Chi Coms...Iran..some Stans and other Muslim nations....mech advance toward Israel.
The T-72 onward series see's significant upgrading from several nations as your main article idents.
This tank and its low silloette do work in capable hands.
Obviously..*Arabs and Tanks do not work,
Europeans and tanks....possibly a different story..especially if they have aquire/react targeting in comparability with U.S. tanks.
4 Shermans to drop a Tiger in WW-2..or is that figure higher?
How many upgraded T-72's ..and..used properly..to knock an M1A1 out?
RPG-29 can light an Abrams up.
U.S. has some work to do.
The numeric thingy..there's alot of T series tanks...and they are still cranking out new versions.
Chi-Com Type 98...home built 3rd Gen MBT Ya..its got some glaring faults...clearly..cooking inside or getting wounded is not a concern for PLA.
Yet..if they have built a high kinnetic smoothbore 120mm Gun..which can fire D.U...thats amazing for sitting just 10 yrs and watching.
They are learning quick...have read rumor mill stuff that they are indeed interested in larger caliber bore gun barrels...150mm higher.
CAS rules...T whatever's go up in flames.
yet..if CAS is not around to attrit......gulp!
They blowed up real good. :-)
Snippy and I were wondering if a jet aircraft would make a good gunship.
