Was curious about this myself - doesn’t seem like current SOPs would recommend sitting still out in the open with high ground around you.

“Freedom to” also means “freedom from” - pretty sure the supreme court has upheld that numerous times, dumbshit.

I am all for LGBT rights. But Cruz pretty much dominated her by the end of the video.

Thanks for bringing this back to reality. The Georgian conflict was definitely an interesting study - particularly this piece: http://www.cast.ru/eng/comments/?…

amen.

You don’t think the sneaky limeys went in and turned them on while the lads were out at the pub on the piss?

The main problem with your argument is that if, as you agree, the US can completely dominate from BVR - then there is simply zero probability that a WVR would occur. Don’t hate me, hate probability theory.

It seems almost like pre-tagged/fragged datalinking is behind this IMHO.

Let’s not forget it was a pretty badass video game as well.

should have called it the LCHAIM tank round

The company that makes the aircraft placed an order for it’s own product on behalf of the Russian government? Must be a commie thing.

Soft target full of diesel fuel... That boat looks not much bigger than some sort of PT boat either.

I agree with you on the last point. The GAU8 is definitely not easy to maintain from the supply chain side of things. Remember, that the 2S6 was pretty much created by the emergence of the A-10 and the shortcomings of ZSUs 23mm.

With all due respect, I don’t think they would have literally built the plane around the GAU8 unless it was intended to play a significant part in it’s Interdiction/CAS role.

ISIS is another perfect example of the social media facet.

Learn something new every day - thanks.

What’s the deal with the ASM1C? Don’t know much about it but figured there had to be a reason they would develop it indigenously even though AGM-65 and -84s are readily available ? (i assume)

I would stick with the Brits QF 17pounder.

“Countries with capitals of the same name for $1000”

Had the distinct pleasure of watching the USMC MV22 demonstration team in Santa Rosa, CA last year — cool demo and amazing machine flown by great guys. Just curious - what’s up with the insane amount of smoke it gushes out when it first fires up c0ld?
