By far, the best of them is the acquisition of FN MAG (M240) after the M60 failed.

Agree 100%. DoD is reluctant to buy foreign kit, even if it is superior to a domestic equivalent. Brimstone and Meteor are the best examples - DoD awarded Lockheed a contract to make an equivalent of Brimstone (AGM-169) only to cancel it, and instead of buying Brimstone, they have contracted Lockheed once again to do…
The Navy would be better off buying an off-the-shelf design like FREMM or Type 26 frigates, instead of buying too many LCS’. There is actually an idea floating around about buying a variant of the Spanish F100 frigate, although that basically means buying more Burkes, of which the Flight IIA ships don’t have a towed…
Secondary duties usually performed by frigates. When it comes to a shooting war, LCS is pointles, it’s like a gunboat. And the USN currently has no dedicated ASW ships, as half of the Burkes don’t have a towed sonar.
By doing what? LCS is pointless as a combat ship.
This is the first time for the new Ford GT.
There was more stuff like this!?
Damn, how did I get that confused!? Thanks for correcting me!
This is Foxtrot Alpha where A-10 is the answer. Brrttt!
Because their design sucks. They are overweight and under performing.
Lockheed Martin sucks. It’s the best/worst example of a military-industrial complex. After the F-22, what good have they done?
Have you not seen my comment where I’m saying how I forgot that 95' was the F1 GTR’s first competitive season?
As a Corvette fanboy, this was a dream come true. It was pure, no-frills racing.
2011 ILMS and 2015 WEC, 2010 and 2012 F1 have gone down in history as some of the best racing seasons of all times, right up there with the 1999, 2003 and 2008 F1 seasons, or the 2001 and 2003 WRC seasons.
There was a lot of argument going on about the engine intake design on the T-50; some photos have surfaced, showing the fan blades, but were also alleged to be shopped. This is the most obvious one, which i personally think to be fake, as the blades are just too visible, unlike on some other frontal photos:
