getting reliable info is tough but yes it looks like it went off and it was horrific, multiple tweets describe it as well, although it’s hard to confirm these things for obvious reasons.

I mean, dont get me wrong - US is very a technologically advanced country but to assume that just because it looks kinda simple and old, it doesnt mean its not American.

The only reason Russia was willing to “go deep” in WWII was because they were being invaded by the Nazis. People like to pretend they were / are any stronger or more ferocious fighters than our armed forces. I would argue not at all.

I dunno what Gen. Odierno is talking about. The fact that Russia uses a different gauge has been a very well known fact for a very long time. Hell, I think they make reference to it in a late 1980s/early 1990s Tom Clancy movie. Maybe I’m thinking of something else, but different rail gauges has been something the DoD…

Stuff like this makes me alright with my tax’s, and my want to see the LRS platform.. :)

For the last 20 years, I’ve been playing in the Abilene Philharmonic, and whenever I’m in town (I live in Austin), I spend my free time out at Rister Park, smoking cigars and watching the show. I’ve gotten some pretty good spots out there, including this E-4 and this P-8. And here’s a Dyess Bone for good measure.…

What are you doing to prepare?

The Sukhois might be sleek, but their canard game is weak. Eurofighter 4 Lyfe.

While I can’t personally attest to that one of my friends who was a medic in Afghanistan got saved by a set of kiowas being piloted by rednecks...

My uncle flew OH-6 Cayuse LOH “Loach” in Vietnam, where the application of the scout helicopter design really took off. Post-Vietnam, the massive budget cuts in the military led to the adoption of many commercial-off-the-shelf systems (COTS) as gapfillers until dedicated platforms could be developed, which led to the…

The video doesn’t work, but presumably it is the ‘Ride of the Valkyries’ scene from Apocalypse Now.

Warrant Officers care not about balance

Don’t troll.

In a battle between the Russian and US navies, the first fleet to fire its missles loses the battle. That’s an interesting new wrinkle in naval war tactics.

Why are you dumb?

Approval is certain? So few players in the market now, makes you wonder if any anti-trust issues start coming up.

This is obviously a major breach of copyright law, isn’t it? How the hell did they think this wouldn’t warrant legal action of some sort?
