Heavies enroute to Syria. I wanted to read the thread, but the amount of politics in it is too damn high!!

Hmm, that's a shame. I rather liked the red color they used to cover up rust spots. "What rust? It's just paint:cheesy:!!" It is old tech, but the scale they are attempting is larger. Various USN submarines including the Sturgeon class, Albacore and even USS Nautilus have used composite...

I respect all religions, but bow only to one. Odin looks in shame upon you:tsk:.

I got married last year, became a first-time father this year and felt either could have happened years earlier. My wife's no-nonsense attitude helped chill me out and be more responsible and mature. Having a child helped too. The OP might be true for some, but it's no rule. Some people are...

The nearly 50 year old AN/ALQ-99 can do that. It's not a new capability and hardly one the US doesn't already have, we're just refining it and looking for quicker, more effective means of doing so.

Damn!!! That's the complete wrong direction!! Maryland, Virginia, D.C. that's were we need a high speed metro because so many people, military, government and tech workers work, rather then this piece of crap that floods every time it rains: It normally looks like this. I've got a 2...

A giant submerged cylindrical body made of naval steel and coated with more rubber then batman... and electronic signature:undecided:? Do you mean sonar leakage? Or comms? The sub itself isn't leaking any noticeable signals. Sonar frequency and ranges, quieting methods, prop design and noise...

Depends on what you're using to communicate with. VLF signals will only go down about 20m in water, so you're sub's downlink needs to be pretty damn close to the surface to receive signals from a VLF array. Any they can't transmit signals back due to size limitations. I mean, good luck putting...

No, they're common in Scandinavia too. Syltelabb and Grisfötter - pigs feet Smalahove - Sheep's head ... You want weird? Try Blodpalt. Or Surströmming. True story; the UN classifies Surströmming as a chemical weapon. Also a true story; Scandinavia has the world's worst food:bad:.

Nothing like using chemical weapons on a civilian population, right?

RAP4 Peppershot Pava. Nasty stuff. Like all less then lethal options, it can be lethal if certain criteria are met, such as the chili causing a reaction in the victim (like causing their airway to become restricted), but it's still better then getting shot. If you want to know what this PAVA...

Women serving in the Norwegian Military isn't new, as shown with the FOS2016 class of recuits: In fact women can serve in any role in any branch, but women being drafted is new and was only formally implemented in 2013.

I don't need to look at the level of information sharing or data fusion. It's largely irrelevant. You use what you have, not what you wish you had and develop a doctrine to fit. Even if you had Aegis, like Japan and Norway do, that doesn't mean you're going to suddenly have a CEC type of...

You don't need Aegis for a CEC type of capability. It's not a built-in aspect of the Aegis Combat System or its supporting elements, it's a learned capability that the USN and USAF are practicing using existing capabilities and linking them into a singular capability. Russia used to do the same...

Heavies at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam.

We have been off topic for far too long. Either return the discussion to the F-22/F-35, move to a different thread or continue and be reported for being off topic. This has run its course. ... The F-35 has set a weapons test record with its new software The F-35 Integrated Test Force at...

Yup. According to Reuters, US A-10s and F-16s are supporting operations. The offensive, dubbed "Euphrates Shield", is Turkey's first major military operation since a failed July 15 coup shook confidence in its ability to step up the fight against Islamic State. It came four days after a suicide...

:coffee: Meh, sh*t happens and this is the first ship of its class. The first LCS USS Freedom has a lot of bad things happen to it too. The next ships have a markedly increased availability rate and fewer problems with onboard systems. Lessons learned in the first ship make the others...

Same reason I never do when I come back for a week or two then leave again for months; security. I go through email addresses and passwords far to frequently. The downside of being affiliated with the military. So when I leave the forum and my auto password updater updates my password...

I can give you insight into what each of those signatures mean and how they can be used operationally and how they can be deadened. I can't give you insight into this hack, unless I was part of it:D. I can give you insight into methods used to successfully perpetrate the hack or lockdown...
