Good for Japan. Seems like a logical and prudent move with the escalating geo-political tensions in the area. As a US ally would this give pretense to operate or maintain a military presence there as well?

Very Very interesting. In Sword and Shield development I am VERY interested in what they cook up that can defend against this. Better sword < better shield < better sword < better shield.

In this instance.. Yes. I will go on and say it. It seems they they made a premeditated decision to deliberately court exactly the kind of response they got. If a woman wears deliberately wears provocative clothing, consciously goes to locations known for violent behavior, and actively courts a sexual assault.....…

Anyone notice the huge lapses, failures, errors, and wars that happened when the douche before him was in office? Screwing shit up is what we elect the people for is it not? And with the obvious level of education you’re (notice the proper use of the contraction you+are) displaying this is a good indication of how our…

Is there any update on this? Especially as to the location and condition of the pilot, if those images were in fact of the pilot? Also have we learned the causes of the F-16 crash, from what I’ve read the Saudi’s say is DEFINITELY wasn’t shot down. http://www.janes.com/article/51439/…

It was actually his reflection

Butcher it and eat it

Glad the kid is okay. DAMN that is one destroyed Legacy outback wagon, looks like it could have been tragic for everyone involved REAL easily.

Saved to my collection! Awesome!

I had to look at the quoted part, go back up to the main picture, back to the inset then back up. That picture REALLY messes with my sense of scale. Even looking at it for a few minutes my brain still insists that both F15s are closer. And idea of the vertical separation between the 3 aircraft? The grey one is closest…

“now, it sits in ruin — because guns.” Great article ruined by one line. Take the one bit and the entire article suports the premise of the headline. Still baring that one spot.. Great article on an era of times past.

Nvm redacted statement

Which seems to be opposite of the US. We need it to be perfect, doesn’t need to be working.

I’m not a data analysist, so correct me if I’m wrong. But I can see why algorythm driven data collection (especially one based on frequency of certain key words) would flag a journalist, especiually one that reports commonly on terrorist sitautions.. With out a human brain in the loop to understand context of the data…

Like Israel or not, they are Mod Level Status : Master with their hardware. Some if the ways they can multi-role and upgrade their inventory is just ingenious. Maybe would could have them show our Procurement divisions on how to do things.

I would love see the run down in 15 years of the F35 and look at what American stuff they kept, what American stuff they throw out. And what Israeli stuff gets put in. The IAF are masters at adapting and upgrading other peoples hardware. Just imagine what they could do with an industrial base that could produce an…

Awesome insights! Thanks for sharing! I’d love to see Tyler expand and streamline those (and check them to make sure its real) into a super post about more in depth coverage of the situation in that area of the world

NASA GL-10: Osprey... can I ask you a question?

Gizmodo calls your 2 rotor tilt wing and raises you a TEN rotor tilt Wing and tilt Tail.

In a snow storm! In the mountains! Over hostile territory, blind folded, uphill.....both ways! High on cocaine. Okay maybe I over exaggerated a bit.
