Let’s hope the report is false. And if it *is* true - let’s hope it was a Syrian aircraft, and not Russian.

Sexy footage, too bad he/she couldn’t hold his phone the right way to film. :(

These videos are dick-waving. Period. Granted, the Hind is a formidable weapon, but dumb bombing, flare-dropping, and various hoonery is not meeting any objective.

Perhaps not.

Ironic because his wife’s game says it has in app purchases on the Play store.

Let them all kill each other now. Our chance to positively effect the course of events in Syria has come and gone, and the only good option is to write it off and watch the fireworks. It would be supremely stupid for us to arm any group in the region with MANPADS (tempting though it might be), as none of them seem to…

A helicopter dropping bombs, that just seems odd to me.

I would be absolutely shocked if those kind of tactics didn’t backfire and end in disaster for the russian pilots.

Thank you for your support. We here in the Baltics appreciate it.

Holy shit, is this real?

It's ЭКЖС-40, an anti-rust paint with red iron oxide. On larger ships, the weather deck is usually painted with a darker shade of the paint. Other navies have a similar anti-rust coat applied, but they normally paint over it with a more neutral color.

Interesting! I had always heard the exact opposite. That endurance-run-hunting was the reason human beings can out-endure almost all other mammals. http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/…

It got the top of the rear fender snagged on a coat hanger. Somebody should hammer that out.

reminds me of this.

OK, holy shit, watched that like 8 times. That is so rad.

Chinook Quick Stop:

The “Zionist dominated media” stuff makes me giggle. There’s how many Jews in the U.S.? No more than 8 million or 2.6% of the U.S. population? This leads to one of two conclusions: Either there isn’t a “Zionist conspiracy” that is secretly running the U.S., or a minority of just 2.6% of the country are so incredibly…

Yep, it’s actually called anti-fouling paint.

I figure they sail via the whole river/canal network down to the Black Sea and then take it from there.

Sweet Jesus - as if right on fucking cue! LOLOLOLOLOL
