Its awesome until they do it every 2 hours non stop day in and day out 200 yards from your bed then it becomes a lot less awesome.

Probably a really fast transition in the Doppler effect along with the native sound the engine makes.

It's Illegal

Are you an explosives expert or do you just play one on Gizmodo forums?

Unless its in Afghanistan under high hot conditions and then you are down to about 5 guys if you are lucky.

I have never had a gear box seize on me but I did have a drive shaft seize on me. It was shaft driven fan drive shaft it kept the combining transmission cool. The moment it seized all I saw was sparks shooting out from the holes where the mounting bolts go for the combining transmission. Talk about a massive pucker…

I was aircrew on CH-47's and literately would have S__t my pants hearing sounds like that coming from the aircraft mind you I have 800 flight hours in Afghanistan so I don't scare easily. In saying that I am really curious as to what happened a change in pitch like that sounds like something failed catastrophically…

I was an Apache mechanic but there is something about the those Cobras that are awesome.

Are you sure that is not the APU? If it is the APU it produces no thrust its sole function is to power the on board systems till engine is spooled up.

"Rapid Raptor." The exercise would see a handful of the world's most advanced fighters being deployed under some incredibly austere conditions.

Tyler nailed it perfectly when I was in Iraq the loader failed about 1/3 of the time. We hated when the pilots when go practice shooting for the hell of it. I would rather load hellfire's and rockets over 30mm because the 30mm was the most problem prone. They probably have ROBBIE tanks in so there is only 300 rounds…

Because Apaches like to run when you turn them off they can have all sorts of problems like BUCS failures. (Former Apache Crew Chief here)

Turns out they were right.

How would the pirates move the ship? The ship cannot move on it's own and I would guess the tug has to be refueled on a regular basis. So my thought is no one would refuel the ship for the pirates. Also I don't remember there to many pirates near the Cape of Good Hope where even with all of modern technology we still…

Yes, and you are expert in such matters. The Mariners fill a role that they do very well and they do it on the cheap in comparison to the Army.

I should rephrase that "evenly matched war is how Americans die" You live in a bubble if you believe that diplomacy and non-fighting competition works. It worked well In WWII "We will have peace in our time" Nevil Chamberlain. You ignore basic human nature humans are greedy arrogant power hungry beings. There will…

Do you understand we never ever want to enter a war evenly matched that is how people die. I am more than happy to kick the other guys butt 14 times over.

Why? there are people who don't even know who the vice president of the US. These are the people who vote with no information and little thought of the consequences.
