  1. EAF J-6C Late Skin

    Really cool one !
  2. Damaged F-14s

    Bingo. You will find much more informations here: http://www.gallagher.com/ejection_seat/index.htm
  3. Damaged F-14s

    Not really the same kind of damages and emergency situations... but these pictures always impressed me.
  4. 6 Myths about Drone Warfare you probably believe

    A good reflection of the "drone" mystification with these damn medias. We do not even speak more of UAVs for MALE or HALE, only "drones, drones, DROOONES".
  5. B-2A with MOP

    And I thought the goal of suppositories was to eliminate pain without being felt...
  6. Come to New Zealand

    But... they got Hobbits and Dwarfs gangs !
  7. An awesome aircraft worthy to wear 'deux léopards d'or'.
  8. USS Zumwalt

    If we still can call this a destroyer, two 155mm, heavier than a Ticonderoga and larger than the Virginia CGNs. This class remember me the Truxtun cruiser, designated for a time as DDGN, then getting back its CGN status.
  9. USS Zumwalt

    She finally meets her element.
  10. Linebacker II Soviet analysis

    On a military side this operation could be considered as a failure, but in terms of global strategy and economic development its influence was significant enough to worsen hemorrhage that Vietnam had along the twenty years that followed. What is a local failure at a nation size can be consider as an overall succes... solely, at what price...
  11. Linebacker II Soviet analysis

    The report concludes quite rightly the impact of this operation globably. However, it also brings to the same conclusion that many Westerners have come after the war: Linebaker II should have been launched six years earlier and focus on the points of entries destruction to eliminate the logistic before scattering.
  12. The Marine Corps Marathon

    This track may be a pain in the arse!
  13. Good idea ! With its longer legs the 'N' would have been a nice asset in Indochina.
  14. UK Carriers sold after 3 years?

    And so went the Cameron's saga. Now remains to wait until Tuesday, here we will learn if it is an accurate information, or just journalism.
  15. Some opinions needed

    I look for a few months on the case of SSNs USS Thresher and Scorpion which disappeared 50 and 45 years ago respectively, however, only the American literature study their cases accurately. I recently read these books But could I have your opinion on these ones: I intend to order them soon. All Hands Down being from Sewell I got some doubts about it. His book and theories on the K-129 was interesting and worthy of study, but his writing style made that at each chapter you return to the preceding one for much lines. In short, many pages were repetitive.
  16. Meanwhile in Ireland

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Xx7tPqmEwg This girl is already resourceful !
  17. FAV F-16 takes down Narcos Planes

    One member of the King Air's family, or Xingu ?
  18. Some opinions needed

    Bruce Rule research based on acoustic datas theorized the possibility of an explosion in the torpedo room. It is currently the most compelling theory that I have read on the Scorpion. This ties the various testimonies of Skipjack's crews who agreed on the various technical problems this class experienced. Given their high level of innovation at the time of their design, it is not surprising that these (revolutionaries) SSNs have inherited the problems experienced with the Albacore in addition to those specific to the S5W reactor.
  19. Some opinions needed

    Obviously Jug, this is why, despite the strong doubt that I owe on the basis of these theories, I intend to look into and study them carefully. After all, knowing his opponent in all its details can give you advantage of knowing its weaknesses too.
  20. Something for the Girlfriend this Xmas perhaps

    Advertising agents really made more and more progress to be understood. Example, with this lovely pattern, full of poetry. But what a cool company's name. A mix between 'poo' and the French word 'pot-pourri' which is, basically, a fragant plants mixture (although once 'pourri' translated it gives 'rotten').
  21. Some opinions needed

    Thank you Fubar, "The Silent War" is now on the wish list too. I believe Dr. Craven also appears at many times in Red Star Rogue, about the Glomar Explorer.
  22. Syrian Su-22

    Pretty nice final score, evoke Allah four times in less a minute. Even stupid girly-girls from reality shows say less OMG! for same duration.
  23. Anyone ever dealt with news.net hijacker?

    I had a problem looking close about a year near, but after downloading a .gif file. This one required a setup to appear, so after I rightly got my file, but with a rotten gift in supplement. I immediately launched Avast (and SuperAntiSpyware at this time) and after several scans and deletes the result was that my computer request five minutes to start, and he was unable to run some essential programs like PowerPoint, Windows Media... and even the basket (!) (the virus probably had already infected these ones and Avast delete them too). Result, it was impossible to install heavy programs, even Silent Hunter 3 was not working properly and I had to made a great disk cleaning and reinstall XP completely. But even despite that he never found his abilities as before. This computer just definitely broke up like two weeks ago.
  24. Heinkel and Zyklon ? Fortunately, this aircraft does not have the variant alphabetical designation from NATO.
  25. Tom Clancy Dies at Age 66

    Terrible new... I just saw Red October and listen to the beautiful Basil Poledouris soundtrack again on yesterday's afternoon...
