In that case, maybe debris isn't necessarily an unwanted side effect, but a force multiplier?

He probably spent all his luck on that fall.

They should have made it jump over Bernie...and fall on him.

It is an amazing bird. I've had the chance of being under one of these on final aproach several times.

At some point, the Soviets were thinking to turn Polyus into the core of the Mir-2 space station. Obviously, Polyus never made it to orbit.

Lol, while it does look menacing, painting it black did serve the purpose of making it difficult to spot by reducing the amount of sun light it could reflect and blending it with the blackness of space

The idea of one satellite manipulating, or even 'shooting down' another is nothing new, with the Soviets designing cannons into their

I just noticed that picture of the 688i is also on Wikicommons. It's the USS Greeneville

That's Putin taking his shirt off. It caused an instantaneous combustion of it's surroundings.

Stealth it's about materials as much as it ia about shapes. Many structures need to be made out of radar absorbent materials, plus you need to cover any and all seams and gaps between panels since they tend to be highly reflective. An unsealed gap in the skin on the plane can cause the plane to lose it's stealth…

Probably routine maintenance on a Raptor. Thing is, stealth coatings are so delicate you have to dress yourself as a surgeon to avoid damaging the skin of the plane and in turn affecting it's stealth capabilities.

The "joys" of stealth coatings

Admiral Nakhimov is still out of service and will be a couple of years before it goes anywhere.

The Iowa's gun reached 32km at most. That's mediocre compared to modern AShM standard.

Not that new of a strategy. Boobs will always be distracting
