Actually, fuck the Nazis.

I think it's not just a stereotype for China. For Japanese companies, innovation is somewhat.. looked down upon. And initiative, well, you can guess how it'd be appreciated! Gotta wait for command from upstairs... And the top brass didn't give you exactly the best tools to handle things downstairs either...

I see the kinetic sand has been utilized in a very creative (and dollar producing) way by SEGA.

Dammit Luke... Watching this video made me teared up a bit... My dad passed away early this year, and nearly the entire duration of this video, I was thinking, "My dad wasn't a video gamer at all. But when I become a dad in the future, this is exactly what I'm going to do with my kids". Then at the end of the video,…

And oh, Tyler, the correct term is "KRI Klewang", "KRI" stands for "Kapal perang Republik Indonesia" (Republic of Indonesia Warship), so it is spelled "K-R-I", not "Kri".

Seeing my country's name in your article left me perplexed :)

Tyler, how (presumably) was the bomb guided? It's laser guided, right? Could the weapons operator (assuming it's a two seater fighter dropping the munition) lazed it? Or nearby drone(s)?

Thanks for the RIO correction! My Tomcat maniac friends are so gonna be mad for this kind of mistake I made, haha!

OK.. Let's take a simple outlook regarding the use of smart munition...

I think the "become a legend" mode for Pro Evolution Soccer / Winning Eleven series have a (quasi) 3rd person view in it??

Sorry, Tyler, I dunno what "dreamland" is... Is TTR = Tonopah Test Range? There's always something new to be learned whenever I read your piece!

thanks for the article. I thought the term "other air force" refers to either Navy's or Marine's air arm. Never realized a department within the US Gov't have their own major fleet of aircrafts... 200 aircrafts, it could rival many of the world's standard Air Force!

For me, I usually pick the "best price per performance" setup. I don't have a lot of money to burn, but yet if it's on the "medium" range price wise, usually I can manage.

Well, let's just hope so, that this problem regarding F-35 variants (and engine!) can be solved real quick. All the resources and focus absorbed into fixing these problems will go to waste, should these matters snowballed into a bigger problem (*cough* replacing the engine?).

Well, there's this thing called the court of arbritation, you know... you don't perform, it's battalion of lawyers you're going to face... It all boils down to commercial interest (in a sense).

Well now there's news of France getting penalty up to 1.2 billion euros. That ain't toilet papers, that's real moniez. So how far can the French gov't face NATO nations' pressure to prevent the Mistrals to be delivered? I haven't read French parliament's attitude toward this issue, though. Wonder what kind of choice…

But then the top brass of USAF is kinda in a "cut the whole A-10 or cut some of the F-35" situation. So in a sense, the USAF itself is saying "F-35 is going to replace A-10 haha n00b". Even when you said it's the zoomies (a.k.a fast movers mafia), aren't they the majority of the USAF top brass? Being majority has its…

Geez this whole F-35 problem... Granted, it will be an awesome plane, should it be deployed with the right assets hand-in-hand. But, is it really worth Amerikanski's taxpayers money? When we realize that JSF also came from the CALF progam... the "Affordable" part was already thrown out of the window from a looooong…

AFAIK, payments for weapon systems, military hardwaeres etc are in installments... And I think it's pretty logical for "final payment" to be done AFTER the handover of the ships... And AFAIK it's only AFTER the obligatory-maintenance period (usually 6 months to 1 year) have passed, and the last installment (5-10%?)…

Well, when my country said "gotta have ToT haha" during a weapon system purchase, well, it's basically constitutes bullcrap "Transfer of Technology", comprising no more than a few subsystems here and there and "look-from-the-behind" method of observation... I heard when the Russians work with buyers, they tend to keep…
