You need to read this.

Laugh all you guys want, a Carrier's defenses become questionable when transiting a tight littoral environment like the straits.

Now this is why I love Jalopnik. Thanks for the info :)

Obligatory: In Soviet Russia, you armor tank

Man I honestly don't think I've ever heard that before. Surprising because three of the ten years I spent in the Army were with a mechanized brigade. I also have two history degrees and have never heard that term.

Michael, Imma let you finish about the fighter jets, but I just need to say that's some of the coolest frame rate rolling shutter footage have ever seen on those Bear engines.

Now that's what I call an evil prop sound. Woah.

What are those flashes of light?

Since the very start of the crisis, Russia has actively called for a peaceful settlement through inclusive, transparent dialogue between all sides in the internal Ukrainian conflict.

My first thought: in Soviet Ukraine, tank fires you. Or IFV.

haha wow, u found a picture of 19 ukrainian hobby nazis, joining to try and defend ukraine , quite a generalisation. I don't think Ukrainian army is gonnaa discriminate, whoever wants to join will join.

Look instead on how low support these "nazi"parties have in all of Ukraine, i think Svoboda got 2% last time. Thats…

Yay more drivel from a Putinist. Just check his posting history.

This problem exists here too; however, at least we have dissenting opinions of all levels. And it is part of our culture to have dissent. It's not like Russia where any kind of dissent from the partyline means you're more than likely going to prison where the right parties can be contracted to kill you and eliminate…

Does it make me a terrible person that my first reaction was, "Needs more Wilhelm Scream?"

Modern Putinist propaganda; all of the mainstream Russian "media" outlets are actually managed by the oligarchs of Russia and as such are extensions of the state. Entirely propaganda which the Russian population is very well integrated into as consumers. It's all they believe in, sort of like people who watch Fox News…

Is tank/armored vehicle desant still a thing?

The advanced active sensors of the TacTom identified the pair of non-hostile pigeons on the roof at the last second and disabled the warhead to prevent civilian casualties. Had the pigeons been brandishing small arms or MANPADs it would have been a completely different story.

Tyler, your knowledge and insight never ceases to amaze me. Everytime I click on one of your topics, I learn so much. And has piqued my interest in this field.

Exactly, check out this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armour-pi…

As someone who doesn't keep up with military tech as much as I should, what's with a smoothbore main cannon? I assume the rounds have stabilizing fins or the like to get them spinning for accuracy?
