If you buy a German car it has to be made before noon. Because Germans drink beer on their lunch hour.

It really depends on where the round hits. A sabot round from a Abrams can zip through the thin armor of a Russian BMP leaving it able to fight back, (re: Battle of 73 Easting, 26 Feb. 1991) but if it hits the thick armor of a tank it can cause total destruction. I suspect its the same for a railgun shooting at ships.

Unexploded sensor fuzed submunition, aka skeet.

When I’m that age I’ll be sitting on the couch watching videos of other people crashing.

Why don’t cars have dimples like golf balls? I’d love to see that tested in a wind tunnel.

The red line is a giant parking lot for cars that can’t find their way out of the roundabout. There’s a pay phone so you can call your mum to come pick you up.

“Huffer cart”? I guess that’s a name for a dash 60 that I never heard before.

Back in 1983 the Army tried getting Air Force crew chiefs to transfer to the Army to be chopper pilots. It was a warrant officer grade, but nobody I knew took it.

Damn, apparently everybody in Slovenia drives a better car than I do.

When an A-10 fires its gun you hear two sounds, the muzzle blast and then the sound of the rounds breaking the sound barrier, aka the “moose fart.”

“Once it heated up due to the air’s high-speed friction...”

And I used to be a deputy sheriff. You don’t extend your weapon to the point a suspect can grab it. Pulling it close to your body is a commonly taught technique.

If a cop is conducting a felony stop he will pull his weapon and force the person to the ground and cuff him before any questioning. Fleeing from the police in a vehicle is usually a felony. Running on foot is usually a misdemeanor.

The picture reminds me of my first winter in the Air Force stationed in balmy Alexandria, Louisiana at England AFB. It was 1981 and it snowed an inch or so. Our A-10s had to be cleaned off and we were issued push brooms to sweep the snow off the tops of the jets.

The question we should be asking is what anti-aircraft systems are the Russians afraid of that they fly at that altitude? MANPADs? AAA? Something bigger?

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

If elephants are intelligent as you say, couldn’t the scientists ask for volunteers?
