I love it when F-16s are painted in non-US standard colors. The Moroccan camoflage pattern is particularly attractive.

It might be a version of the Shtora active defense system used on the T-90.

I’d love to hear the story behind this one.

I guess he won’t be making it to the big invasion party in Mariupol.

Drones and robot tanks you say?

We don’t need a new one when the Abrams is everything we will need for the next 30 years. Bonus points for a diesel engine swap to make fuel consumption less catastrophic.

A decent government is one that effectively managed, addresses long term and complex problems plaguing the nation, and considers a variety of differing viewpoints to formulate policy that helps the nation as a whole. Your definition of ‘decent government’ would limit the rights of a significant section of the…

And the seats. Red vinyl/carpet and grey velour seats? That would have been too much even for the 80’s.

The roofline reminds me of the Buick Riviera. Considering that the ‘65 Chevelle and first generation Riv were some of my favorite GMs ever, a combination of both is pretty fantastic.

I think it’s interesting how the air wing has shrunk over the years - 60 combat aircraft now, when the 80+ surge number was more common during the Cold War. I know the current Hornets/Super Hornets/Growlers are more capable than the previous single mission aircraft, but I can’t help but wonder if the smaller air wing…

Was it this line abreast picture?

Edd China would be amazing. Imagine how much better built the challenge cars would be! Ambitious, but rubbish would become not ambitious enough, because Edd can fix anything..

But how else are their 4’ 10” spoiled brat girlfriends going to get into them?

Just be sure not to swerve into Camden. That’s not so much a pothole
as a portal into the underworld.
