What type of cooperation? I guess anything that promotes closer ties between allies is a good thing, but I'd like specifics too. Submarine exercises? Intelligence sharing (given Germany relies on the US too much I doubt this)? Future projects, development, testing and procurement? I'd like to...

Not every weapon will fit in the internal bays though. Like the F-35, some larger strike weapons will need to be carried on the under-wing pylons - or targeting/ew pods and external tanks: This is also true if you want to carry a full weapons load, since the internal bays are restricted in...

It's a completely acceptable holding position that is relevant to the stance of the shooter and the scenario the shooter finds themselves in. The Norwegian Armed Forces use it: I learned to hold my HK416 like that too while in the RNoAF. It's not just for photo ops. Have you ever served?

The latest launch was scrubbed, Hawaii is getting dumped on right now: http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/l/Honolulu HI USHI0026:1:US Friday (June 5) is a "no go" too:( with Saturday looking iffy as well: Weather forced NASA to postpone the balloon-borne launch of its rocket-powered...

SNORT Is Where NASA Engineers Destroy Next-Generation Parachutes The fantastically-named Supersonic Naval Ordnance Research Track, or SNORT, is a naval facility in the heart of the Californian desert. It’s also where NASA engineers let their evil side run free by wrecking havoc on innocent...

It's also untrue. The US, during 2012-2013 did wave laws concerning the use of Chinese manufactured magnets in its F-35 program, but that is no longer ongoing. Chinese magnets for the new warplane's radar system, landing gears and other hardware. ... The waivers apply to inexpensive parts...

Wrong. THAAD has been tested again the gambit of US ballistic missile countermeasures and targets ranging from the Solid fueled, separating air-launched ICBM E-LRALT during FTI-01 in 2012: MDA - MDA News Releases To the separating, solid fueled IRBM Hera...

Watch This Dutch F-16 Pilot Try To Kill An American F-15 In Mock Combat Dutch F-16AMs and American F-15Cs had at it last April during the Florida and Oregon Air National Guard’s composite deployment to the region as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve. The awesome video below gives us an...

What Would Happen If All Our Satellites Were Suddenly Destroyed? Since their inception 60 years ago, satellites have gone on to become an indispensable component of our modern high-tech civilization. But because they’re reliable and practically invisible, we take their existence for granted...

Poland is pulling its weight recently, Norway doesn't tend to slack off either, but with the UK and Germany mired in problems, and some NATO members like Iceland existing without a standing military (though it contributes with other "intangibles") I can't help but echo your sentiment. Europe's...

:yahoo:Yes, yes and more yes, this is awesome! @SvenSvensonov any competition for human robotics:what:.

:ashamed:Maybe. Oh yes, no major conventions though:(. AnimeCon in Germany is about as close as cosplay conventions get to Norway:angry:. I went as Rainbow Dash last time, my BF (now ex:nana:) went as Pinkie Pie:sarcastic:. A bit like this (Not us though, but if you ask nicely, maybe I'll...

No way!!! Pikachu cosplay for Gir:

You guys have a boring version of the future. My version has fast moving pods that rapidly transport people - not unlike Futurama: In Which We Attempt To Explain The Hyperloop With A Minimum Of ‘Futurama’ Jokes Of happening!!! Elon Musk's Hyperloop getting test track Hyperloop Alpha: This...

The Faroe Islands are self-governing (since 1948), formerly part of the Norwegian Empire (1035 to 1814), but now the Danish Realm, as with Iceland - all are self-governing nations. Danish Realm The Treaty of Kiel was the factor that saw the Faroe Islands split from the Norwegian Empire and...

I don't know the specific wave-lengths (it's reportedly 76 Hz though) - I'm not afforded that info, but this is an individual antenna for Project ELF (shut-down in 2004): There are dozens of such antenna for a given array.

VLF is commonly used, while most radio frequencies are foiled by seawater, VLF are able to penetrate nearly 20 meters of seawater, this still means they need to come relatively near the surface, but they don't need to expose an antenna above water either, they can stay submerged and communicate...

Nope, there will be leakage: EM waves can penetrate metal shells to a certain distance, but are attenuated (weakened, but not suppressed or destroyed) as they travel through. The wave will be mostly reflected, but the remainder will travel through being exponentially attenuated. So a thin...

Talk to @SvenSvensonov about that, I'm sure he wont agree. Impurities in a submarine's hull, such as welds, the individual properties of each metal type (its resistance to RFs) there are more factors that go into blocking RF or EM signal beyond something just being metal. Not every metal stops...
