  1. F-35 canceled for marines and USAF?

    This is funnier. http://www.duffelblog.com/2014/02/f35-delays-sentience/ Warlord & Imperator class Titans won't be far away!! http://www.duffelblog.com/2012/10/department-of-defense-unveils-t-700-highly-advanced-death-robot/ Whose to wager that someone in Iran is actually moronic enough to take some of this shit seriously.
  2. Just put really big mines under them.
  3. How much is a ticket? Also I want to see it land like that with full reverse thrust.
  4. Saw this article today. http://www.businessinsider.com.au/us-aircraft-carriers-may-be-moved-from-middle-east-2015-6 Curious if anyone else is off the opinion that railguns and point defence lasers based on Warships will shift the balance of naval power back to Battleships/Cruisers? Ultimately currenct stealth aircraft technolgy is going to be defeated/rendered less effective as a method of avoiding radar detection at longer and longer ranges. Not to mention this from Lockheed Martin. http://www.lockheedmartin.com.au/us/products/compact-fusion.html If it was from anyone else I would say bullshit. But effectively we will have aircraft with unlimited ranges, apparently they are expecting a truck sized unit to power a town, so it won't be hard to hook one up to a jet engine, should this happen I have no doubt we will see hypersonic aircraft. Fusion reactors may also allow super cavitating submarines/underwater aircraft as well. Regardless of what happens the next 20 years are going to very interesting!!
  5. Future of Aircraft Carriers

    I agree completely, but will Carriers be the premier Warships in the future?
  6. New T-14 tank breaks down on Red Square

    This is better. http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/9577239.Police_give_speed_camera_warning/?action=complain&cid=10170087 What's a "Sindwinder" though?
  7. Mad Max: Fury Road

    Haven't seen it, but disappointed Tina Turner is not in it.
  8. I'd love to see how J-7Gs would preform with the same avionics as the lancer.
  9. Resurrected my WH 40K

    ISIS is a Chaos Cult, Burn the heretic.
  10. 109 car!

    Do the guns work?
  11. We need to created a coalition of Sunni arab nations to launch a ground war of isis in Iraq & then Syria once Iraq is secured. This will assure Sunni's that we are not at war with them and help prevent Shiite miltia's from persecuting Sunni's. Also I reckon so called "Special Interrogation Techniques" teniques should be replaced by pulling out their beard hairs one by one with a pair of tweezers, I tried this on my own facial hair as I have to practically shave twice a day and I was sick of it, worst pain I have ever experienced, they are bloody almost half an inch long inside your skin.
  12. NBC on Jordan's air strikes

    Forget Napalm, we should be using non-persistent chemical weapons, they are not lawful combantants, the rules of war do not apply. Likewise there is no restriction on using expanding bullets againts them.
  13. I have not been here for ages, but recently a tank muesum opened in my Town which I would like to share with the community here. I've attached some photos sorry about the distortion is some of them I had the wrong lens on my camera on the day. http://ausarmour.com/exhibits/ It was awesome to see a T-72 in the flesh so to speak. I had a former client who was a Vietnam vet who was a gunner in a Centurion who served in the 1st Armoured Regiment I used to think he was pulling my leg when he talked about driving through jungle terrain. Most of the time they used canister rounds which where comprised of 1cm edged steel cubes instead of shot to increase the canister spread. I didn't appreciate how big these tanks where until seeing one in person, some of the stories he told me of near misses of RPGs made me realise the guts these men had. Despite this he was a normal bloke who had time for anyone. Anyway the highlight was seeing an SA-2 on truck carriage, I am unsure whether it would be lauched from this or it was purely a transporter, but the missile was huge, far larger then I had imagined, what I really found incrediable was that it was largely made from what looked like sheet metal. Hope everyone enjoys the pics!!
  14. SA-2/S-75 in Tank Muesum

    Not sure what the truck is I'm going back again as they have some more stuff coming, I will have a look when I am back. I have some pics of other tanks I will post when I have time.
  15. This is a bomb!

    Noami Campbell is an ugly old hag that also happens to be crackerf*** mad. Her and Chavez are the perfect couple.
  16. Australia goes with Fullbacks?

    Where did you get that from?? Haven't heard about this. I highly doubt it will happen although it makes more sense then F-18Fs to replace F-111s.
  17. Any chance of one of these? http://www.airwar.ru/enc/xplane/f7fs.html
  18. I believe this was going to be a Mig-23 at some stage before requirments changed and it was used to test the radar for the 25 if I remember correctly. I doubt it had any influence on the J-10 as there is over 30yrs between the two.
  19. Gun damage

    Guns aren't over modelled. Most aircraft have no armour modelled this is rather easy to fix but time consuming which is probally why no one has rectified it yet.
  20. Hey 101fts I'm really looking forward to your J-8I can't wait for it actually. Anyway regarding armour yes adding it is definately a must to ALL aircraft I use 8mm of aluminium as standard for jets. You also you can use the strucatul factor line to increase an aircrafts toughness as well. Regarding the Migs in Korea its well known F-86s regularly expended their entire ammo load at a single Mig-15 with little or no effect (obviously not every bullet hit it!!) whereas a single hit from the 15s cannons was enough to do critical damage to a F-86. I recall reading somewhere on the net that a 15 landed suposedly landed with over 200 0.50cal holes in it during Korea. Moving on to Mig-21s being killed by Israeli mirages with a single hit there are several reason for this, firstly the Mirages where armed with 30mm cannons, the fuel tanks of the 21 are very exposed on the back and early/export models had no inert gas system so if you hit a mig pretty much anywhere on the top of the fuselarge and penetrated the fuel tanks a KABOOM would follow very quickly as the tanks would be full of air.
  21. This doesn't mean you shouldn't be prepared for the worst case in fact its irresponsible on the governments behalf not to be and don't forget about china I'm sure the USAF will be thankful for the F-22 if they ever do have a go for Taiwan.
  22. RAAF F18 Super Hornet

    You can quote whatever you want the fact is most people in the US navy are not happy about this stituation.
  23. RAAF F18 Super Hornet

    Haha there is nothing a super hornet can do that an F-14 can't 10X better. MORE RANGE, MORE PAYLOAD and of course the Aim-54 need I say more.
