Just USA Things
Red flag still waving
Winter's coming
Soviet Triptych
Only the dead surrender
The great Swedish army
We are South Asia (sorry I couldn't think of a better title:D)
A land of gold
The US SDB has been in service since 2006:disagree: and have been used in Syria - dropped by an F-22:
And in Iraq, as noted with UXOs found by Iraqi citizens near Kirkuk:
SDB timeline
October 2001 – Boeing is awarded the SDB contract.
September 2005 – Small Diameter Bomb certified...
No price stated yet.
They're still in service as the 330 rescue squadron (my old squad) shows with a recent student training op in Sola:
The first of our twelve ordered AW101s hasn't even been delivered yet and is undergoing flight testing, with its first flight being on March...
Not according to the USAF, which hasn't used the X-37b for satellite transfer. Keep in mind that people, civilians, do track orbital bodies and based on their flight profile, can ascertain what their doing (to an extent) and track any bodies delivered by such a platform.
It has been used as a...
:tsk: RIP reading comprehension.
You posted a video of Falcon (technically the heavy version is to be the carrier), which will carry Dragon V2.
I rebuttled with a quick note that the status of the US shuttle, or its successor, has nothing to do with India's endeavor. They are independent...
Quality garbage. That's all you've written:disagree:.
The status of the US Shuttle Program, or its successor V2 Dragon:
Has nothing to do with the Indian ventures and you know it. You're just flinging sh*t to disparage their accomplishments.
China's doing things the US did 40 years ago...
It's a step. The first step towards even greater steps, and a step greater then any you've taken here with your obnoxious condescension.
Before NASA's Space Shuttle came Dynasoar - the chronology of the shuttle program echoes in the RLV-TD:
And before it X-15:
And HL-10:
All paving a path...
Try Honest John instead. Its W31 variable yield warhead had a kiloton range of 2, 10 or 30 kt, though several other warhead designs were mated to the missile, including chemical warheads:
It's a good equivalent of the NASR missile system in terms of range and payload, though it's an unguided...
Sh*t takes time to get right and there's a lot of failure in between here:
And here:
Did you know that the world's most popular aircraft used to be jokingly nicknamed "lawn dart" because it crashed so much during testing?
That aircraft is now a workhorse worldwide:
The second YF-22...
It's a long-standing rumor, and one that sounds more sensationalized then grounded in reality, but there are EMP generating devices that are handheld. They just lack power and range and are of limited utility because of that.
An Israeli company called Netline developed a portable EMP that's...
This depends on how we classify EMP.
What separates a radar from an EMP device? Power. Crank up the power on a radar and it'll burn electronics rather then jam them.
The SPY series radars found on US AEGIS ships pumps out so much energy that not only can it detect stealth aircraft at...
The original SBD (GBU-39/B) was a nasty piece of kit:
It's capable of carrying 8 SBDs + 2 AIM-120s
High hardened target penetration capabilities
Maritime enforcement capacity
And is even being outfitted for a ground-launched variant
The SBD II will primarily be used to enforce...
Speaking of idiots, how's life treating you?
I'm this girl:

No false flags, just new ones reflecting my current whereabouts. I left this forum for a while, and will do so again in a few days, because of people like you who ask questions or...
You're just going to slap a Faraday cage onto a NASR tel and drive it around the battlefield:what:?
For a Faraday cage to work it needs to be thick, its holes smaller then the wavelength its trying to block, and most importantly, grounded. None of those are really too doable on a moving...
:pissed:I hate this forum (or more accurately its people) and will unjoin it and return to AMF after my vacation is over:D. But I had some free time, so I thought, eh I'll give PDF a go again. Already I'm regretting my decision:lol:.
A Norge vacationing in Sweden:undecided:.
True and not true, not all allies are treated equally by the US or by NATO members to NATO members. @Sven as he usually does, had a great take on the matter in regards to India's elevation to NATO-ally status by the US...
@Sven / @SvenSvensonov (if you're unimpressed by a person that has only thirty posts, try looking at his original account instead:D. The guy knows his sh*t) had a nice take on some of these points, which are not correct in some instances, in response to a query posed by @Spectre
take a look...
As I've already explained to Horus who asked about the availability of Norwegian F-16s (see the quote below), those aircraft wont be out of service until mid-2020 at the earliest... I hope Pakistan isn't still waffling with its aircraft procurement at that point.
If you're still waiting for...
