I’m a film/tv camera assistant, and we use these vehicles pretty frequently. Not like this one, but the “Russian Arm” is a popular choice. You can rent one attached to a modified Raptor, which seems like it would be a better option in the desert, as the jib can swing and telescope. I’ve also used a couple smaller…
I have a GT-R, and also a Q50. And a Cube, my wife drives that.
Any innocent civilians fled or were killed by IS years ago.
A joke, of course, but it does take a substantial chunk out of the net velocity of the rounds, making aiming a different breed of cat entirely. Say, at 600 mph, take 880 feet per second off the velocity of the round, which is comparable to a WW2 Oerlikon, or a Brobdingnagian .30-06, at 2300 fps.
You listen to NPR, too. Say what you will about people like Assad, Saddam and Gadaffi, but they kept these radicals in check.
Heard an interview yesterday with a French parliament member, the right wing of the government is proposing exactly that. They mentioned Assad as being the correct choice right now and that any country fighting ISIS, regardless of their current diplomatic relationship with France, should be seen as an ally.…
Today’s long range bombers sorties hit 206 targets in both western and eastern Syria namely in Idlib and Aleppo as well as in ISIS’ held Raqqa and Deir-Ezzour.
Stock BMW M6 - Meh, not really for me
I see this car and I imagine it sneaking up behind me at night and with a raspy voice whisper into my ear, “I’m batman.”
They’re basically killing everyone fighting Assad. That happens to include ISIS, and a bunch of groups fighting ISIS.
What good is world supremacy without military power? And what good is military power without an enemy?
My question is... if we had this targeting information already... why were the targets not already bombed?
I believe you are correct.
“Tremendous diversity and inclusion”. I’m sorry, are you Jewish? Israel is accepting of Jews. That’s about it. I mean, let’s just start with the Syrian refugees. Isreal considers them “infiltrators”, meaning they are detained, if not deported to other third world countries.
Lol, thank goodness we have you to decide what is and isn’t a “valid” compelling public interest! Why don’t you defenestrate your pompous self and maybe actually learn how sad constitutional law is when it comes to the government doing whatever it wants, including lowballing these mouthbreathers on their worthless…
Because Amercan military gear is designed for maximum profit margin for the arms merchant. They probably cost less than the German one to build, but we of course pay much more for them.
I just know that before Obama and his friends started meddling with Siria we did not have to deal over here with million of refugees. And before the Texan cowboy and his British lapdog decided saddam was a bad guy(to please thei Saudi overlords) Isis could not have existed. Is it too much to ask that your folks start…
planes also rely on this thing called aerodynamics. so, with the front of the plane being blown off, you no longer have an aerodynamic body that is going to climb in such a way that numerous people confuse as a ‘missile’. A loaded 747 full of PAX and tons of fuel isn’t going to zoom climb at full throttle under normal…
how did so many other aviation accidents happen without the pilots sending a distress call? So you’re saying, if a missile or bomb blows apart a jumbo jet, the first thing the pilot is going to do is get on the mic and say ‘hey guys, we’ve got a problem’? if ANYONE in the plane is still even conscious at all? Did the…
a. the WTC was bombed just a year or two prior. terrorists were already targeting us. bomb (or manpad from a small boat). or it was a colossal fuck up on the military (Eg., another Vincennes, or target drone collision) as an exercise was happening in that area
