  1. An overview of Russian glide bombs possibly being the UMPB-D30 ... https://www.iiss.org/online-analysis/military-balance/2024/03/russian-glide-bombs-add-pressure-on-ukraines-diminishing-air-defences/
  2. I'm waiting for the future time were artillery rounds have a anti-counter battery radar EW systems built into them
  3. It didn't end up well for the Gaddaffi's supporters even with the MANPADS
  4. The Libyans, in 2011, had the world's largest supply of MANPADS outside of the various manufacturing states. It didn't help them out one bit mainly due to aircraft sorties happening at night.
  5. I've seen starving Hindu's eat beef. I'm sure it's the same for Muslems.
  6. Some news reports are saying that the cargo ship lost power and couldn't stop from hitting the bridge.
  7. The US used Carl Gustav's in Afghanstan using a anti-infantry munition. The Tally's would charge a position in mass and a single round would take out 4-5 Tally's in one shot
  8. I wonder if they can aford the fuel for them https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/america-clears-transfer-of-24-f-16s-to-argentina/ It does seem that with hyper inflation happening I don't believe this purchase will happen.
  9. The Dutch wanted crash proof seats and other things that I don't remember which were not in the standard US fit for the time. But that's what they wanted. I think they only bought about a dozen examples.
  10. Israel cancels white house visit as Biden doesn't block UN ceasefire vote. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-68658973
  11. The Dutch went that way. When they bought the CH47 in the early 2010's they went to a bespoke version. 10 years later they got another batch using an American standard version. The difference in cost was substantial.
  12. Israel ending wars due to Western poltical interference against Israel is nothing new. 1956, 1967 and 1973... The list goes on and on.
  13. Possibly, a Su34 can take two FAB1500 bombs and would definitely be more survivable as Russia doesn't have air superiority and a transport plane, Bear or Backfire lacking modern countermeasures is terribly vulnerable to Ukrainian air defence weapons.
  14. They may push it out of a rear door of a transport aircraft. That's what the US did with their mother of all bombs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-43/B_MOAB#:~:text=The GBU-43%2FB Massive,was first tested in 2003.
  15. https://www.twz.com/land/chinas-new-heavy-attack-helicopter-spotted-for-the-first-time?fbclid=IwAR1olxYfC8hZIOjI1BH-GyR-W2JikCoN41RFL4NB_lb1OmXHfHBDBW-SU7U It reminds me of the Colombian army AH60 Blackhawk gunships.
  16. He was also in Missing In Action made in 1984. One of my favourite films as a kid.
  17. I'm surprised that The Houthi's arn't using mines by now in the Red sea. The Iranians certainly have this capability.
  18. I recall a US solider during th Iraq war 2003 took a gold plated Ak47 home with him that belonged to Saddam himself. He got 20 years
  19. Didn't Greece give it's BMP2's to Ukraine as well?
  20. No seriously look it up. 3 million Polish people and another 3 million Romanins came in the space of 15 years from 2002-2019. 750,000 people came in last year alone, even though were not in the EU anymore.
  21. About 3 million Romanians came to the UK when we were in the EU. This sort of massive immigration is one of the reasons why we left the EU.
  22. I'm sure it's because they want to keep the F35's technology secret so as not to give anything away such as it's ECM and ECCM capabilities.
  23. After Brexit, the Tory party evicted almost all the pro-european Tory members leaving just the anti-euro MP's. This has resulted in a very right wing Tory party.
