Hohenfels Germany is home to the U.S. Army’s Joint Multinational Readiness Center, referred to by soldiers as “The Box.”

This is exactly how that opening scene in fast and furious wouldve gone down in real life

Poorly. I bought one for that purpose and returned it after two weeks, thanks to constant crashes — sometimes after a couple hours, sometimes every thirty minutes. The SoC inside creates too much heat and no Win10 or driver updates fixed the issue. Even idling, the temps sometimes started to creep up until they were…

Yeaaaaah, but... you’re kind of that guy saying, “Apple didn’t invent the mp3 player,” “Amazon didn’t invent the ebook.” Technically correct? Sure. For all practical purposes? Not so much. They invented the market for it, and refined the technology beyond the novelty phase.

well, consider what arcades were, fast, compact engaging experiences that give you 1-10 minutes of an experience, not a 40 hour adventure with characterization and multiple locations. people are going to need to have those engaging experiences first to get them hooked, this was as true with pac man and galaxian as it…

Try not get mad at these poor people. They wouldn’t have anything left in their lives if it weren’t for their drumbanging on the latest group witch-hunts. It gives their lives meaning. It makes them feel relevant, as if they finally have a group to be a part of, it’s sad I know, but as a group these types of bullhorns…

Tyler will you have facebook page where we can tell when you post an article?

Thanks man! No they did not brain wash me!

I will be here through the 15th of this month. For more info see here:

Please. You know Ty-ty is a reserve bird colonel in the ICIJ, I bet he just got called to active duty and is waterboarding Putin with a cello right now.

It gives you a bit more than 3x the range for every 10x of height.

Basically, at one foot, you have a horizon of 1.2 miles. At 10 feet, it’s about 4 miles. At 100 feet, it’s just over 12 miles. 1,000 feet, 39 miles. 10,000, over 100 miles away.

...such as Israel’s Conformal Airborne Early Warning (CAEW) version of the Gulfstream 550 is very well suited for exactly this mission, and has massive endurance and crew comforts necessary to get the most out of each sortie.

This is the key point of 5th gen warfare. Systems and data integration has little to do with hardware and much to do with making systems designed from different periods in different languages to do different things to accept data from one another in a combat acceptable fashion.

I did, they don’t have the over the horizon abilities of an airborne asset when it comes to detecting low flying targets, nor are they as capable at detecting small targets

Not new camo. They might be foreign but I doubt it based on kit and it’s layout.

It is not about Iraq buying these, we need to purchase these for them, it is the only way we would ever be able to actually leave that country.

I used to know a guy who was a "special ops" marine early in the Vietnam war, and he was involved with the first generation of laser-guided bombs. The way they originally worked was like this: About a day before the strike on some high-value object (bridge, gasoline tank, etc.), he would be air-dropped to someplace…

I can't write about the B-1 because of it's age? What the hell are you talking about? This is a funny and positive story, you are making zero sense. I support long-range strike fully, including the B-1 force.
