Faen It's untranslatable because I means whatever the heck I want it to. Fly Faen when I'm disappointed, or Faenmeg when I get my butt handed to me by my better half at a videogame. It's an all-purpose word. And being Kos of course: Us Norgies like to be comfortable and cozy. This is a...

I'd be happy to remind you:angel:. It was f*ck poor economics, an overstretched military and a population that was tired of the same old crap. The Soviet Union took itself out. Its demise was only hastened by outside influences, mainly the US stretching them thin as they competed for...

130,000 at its peak in 2012. Some 70% of those were American forces, who were and were not part of ISAF. The US contributed to ISAF, but also ran its own missions. It conducted both combat and advisory missions. But ISAF was not a combat force, rather an advisory one. ISAF was disbanded in 2014...

ISAF is an advisory group, and only certain member nations have been involved in a combat role, hence why we haven't seen a large-scale assault on the Taliban since the early 2000s. My homeland, Norway, contributed only 4 F-16s (out of 52 total) and roughly 150 special forces. Our deployable...

I'm vacationing in Sweden:p:. No Norge would ever advertise for our mortal enemies:o:. Our ships use either the DM2A3 (on submarines) And Sting Ray (on surface ships) A Norge advertising for Sweden, pff. Can you image? Our military exists for one reason: Russia. Ok, two reasons Russia...

Try this: Nothing says, "it's gotta die" like ADCAP One hit kill. Not as dramatic here, but still a killshot And just for fun, look at what it takes to sink a ship using AShMs: Read the ticker at the bottom of the video. Mutliple AShMs and even guided bombs!! One ADCAP puts...

Most modern ones do, or can be acclimatized like the HK416N: But yes, the M14 EBR has seen action in a wide variety of climates and was used by US forces in both Iraq and Afghanistan: Including by the 10th Mountain Division, who's responsibility is, as their name suggests, mountain warfare...

Eagle's talons ooze blood. It's eyes growing sharper And like P-8 and Triton, the F-15 and F-22 are becoming a closely networked unit. TALON HATE is helping with that :wave: Bye bye MiG 29, Bosnia hardly knew ya. Next time don't violate NATO flight restrictions. Eagle's old, but...

I'm weird, so anything fitting this description jives with me Second World War T-60 and A-40 glider, though it was too dangerous to be practical Cold War Era 500-8 "hover tank" Modern Day M1A1 SEPv3 - because gear I developed is being used on it:happy: Hmm, I was at AUSA where...

Context my friend, context. Read the whole part, not just the one sentence. I'm not saying, "Screw India! India sucks!!" I'm saying that Pakistan doesn't need to base its course off of India's and should do "its thing" irrespective of what India does. Not everything in the India-Pakistan...

1. Don't try to be your neighbor! F*ck them!!! Chart your own course and your own path. 2. Not even sounding rockets and microsats:undecided:? Or balloon launched satellites (Balloon rockets)? A networked constellation of microsats can form an effective and resilient communications or...

Checking up on the neighbors of course:D Those pesky Greeks and Damn Commies aren't going to spy on themselves:partay:. Realistically an MPA is going to be used for monitoring maritime traffic. Non-friendly ship movements, fisherman, assisting with rescue ops such as a downed airliner...

Screw SCAR, pick EBR!!! No, I'm being serious. The M14 in the photo is beautiful:smitten: and its modern versions are a beast that the US military has been using in Afghanistan as their 5.56 rifles lack power and range in the Afghan theater. It's also got a marksman variant, the M39...

Their regulars are a work in progress, but are making progressions. Their training is consistent, their skills put to use and their equipment getting better. At this point all they lack is the level of experience their trainers have, but that'll come too. Their SOF and SPFs are becoming a very...

:o: What the heck kind of safety standards do you guys have when this is "crash condition":undecided:? Looks like they got hit with a Hellfire to me. FYI, that kind of destruction is par for the course, as this Brimstone missile shows: Your vision of "crash condition" and "Hellfire...

You're right about it powering the SLS, but the RS-25 debuted in 1981 and is also known as the SSME - or Space Shuttle Main Engine: Existing stocks of RS-25Ds will be expended first, and a newer, cheaper, more efficient version, the RS-25E will take over after that. I'm kind of a space...

Right, and the Atlas V is comparable to the Delta IV Medium. Actually, Delta IV and Falcon 9 both outclass Atlas V by a few thousand pounds to LEO. But Delta IV heavy doesn't have an Atlas V comparison since the Atlas V HLV isn't going to be developed Atlas V is cheaper then Delta IV, but...

Is that still the case? Didn't Delta IV launch the DSP early warning satellites into high-orbit? DSP is cool, it's called the "doom's day" satellites because their used to detect missile launches, though one was also used to help ascertain what downed MH17 over Ukraine and Metrojet Flight...

Isn't Delta IV the USAF's heavy lift platform, not Atlas V? They do NRO launches. These don't use RD-180 or any Russian engine. Rather, they use RS-68 And RL-10 Atlas V has launched USN satellites like MUOS, but is for smaller platforms. Yup, this is considered a small...

The US has developed several tiers of ABMs for different classes of missile. At the bottom is PAC-3 (and to an extent HAWK and PAC-2) for short ranged missiles like Scud or its varients Moving up we have THAAD for IRBMs like DF-21 And SM-6 for similar classes, albeit at closer ranges...
