An old saying. The measure of any army is not when things go right but when things go wrong.

Don't jump for joy, yet. The Senate Bill contains the following

I don't know what they bought it for. At the very least, it's something to study BUT it is NOT being made operational. This thing has been RUSTING for 10 years before the Chinese bought it. Metal fatique and the EXTREME lack of maintenace have set in. There is no way for the Chinese to make...

Will you at least get your facts straight?!?! There will be NO VOTE according to any UNSCR for Kashmire. They've ALL been expired!

Hey, Kid, I've been following the Varyag story since the beginning. I've seen NOTHING to even suggest that the Chinese have moved powerplants to that ship. If they're going to try, we would have seen it. We're talking engines the size of small buildings here and the testing required would have...

Here's a very simple question. Does the InAF want the LCA? If they do, they WILL make it work. I know the PAF wants the JF-17 and hence, they will make it work. The big problem is that the PLAAF does not want this bird and they will shame this bird to death.

Pushing? They're encrouching, giving time for the residents (and resistance fighters) to organize and leave.

You cannot win a war from the air, no matter what those USAF birdbrains say. In the final say, you have to have bellycrawlers taking, holding, and denying ground to the enemy.

With your idiotic postings, you should go back to high school From http://www.thebulletin.org/article_nn.php?art_ofn=ma05norris, Russian has 192 SLBMs with a total of 672 warheads. That's more than both the UK and France combined.

None. The ship was sold without any powerplants and the Chinese lacks experience building conventional warship powerplants of this size. The Chinese may be able to adapt a nuclear powerplant but again, this is beyond their experience and would require years, if not decades, to iron the bugs out...

Not in your lifetime.

And how exactly did Israel got the Iraqis to say they destroyed those stocks?

They found more than enough mustard gas and VX to confirm that Saddam was hiding something but not in the quantity originally suspected. The Iraqis said that they were destroyed but cannot provide the paper work for their destruction. I strongly suspect we will find them when WHO declares an...

I think you better read the actual report. The report stated that Iraq was still under suspicion and that there were still discrepencies such as missing (still) stocks of mustard gas and VX. The Hans Blix report stated that they needed more time and co-operation from the Iraqis (which they were...

The people manning the Stryker Brigades got nothing but good things to say about the vehicle. I've got a Major who returned from Iraq who couldn't say enough of that piece of kit.

What UN decision?

No engines.

John There is no way the Stryker and the Bradley are the same beast. None. Zero. Nadda. Zilch.

For all intents and purposes, the TRIDENT D5 is an ICBM. Land based ICBMs are extremely accurate to the point of being used for counter-force missions. TRIDENT D5, though approaching PEACEKEEPER accuracy are reserved for the softer targets such as the Kremlin, a 2nd retallitory strike system...

Don't know about their ground crews but pilotes provide us bellycrawlers with hours of endless amusement trying to tie a double sheet knot.
