You've got to be sh!tting me!!!!!!! What energy? Afghanistan got ZERO oil potential. Jana, take a look at the energy map. It is far easier to finalize the Canadian oil sands than it is to get a pipeline through Afghanistan. Answer this question. What is going to happen with the...

There is one major difference between the Soviet operation and the current NATO operation in Afghanistan. An aspect which I am intimately aware of. Children are going to school. Children are playing around us. Say what you want about the difficulties that we faced and our lack of resolve. No...

Like an independent Kurdistan?

Sounds like LOG is your trade.

I don't need google to read ruptures. The SHKVAL. It's a straight line weapon, no guidance. You get better results with a missile.

Never borned out in the top regiments. Now, women have even passed the much vaunted SAS course but none has ever been invited to join those prestigious regiments (top 5 percentile which invariably are always men). If she can make it, then bless her but given the Pak Army ethos of leading from...

I hate to be the one to throw water on this but I would consider what this is going to cost you and I don't mean career wise. Unless you're aiming for a desk job, I can guarantee you that you will need knee surgery within 3 years and a bad back within 5. They don't call war a young man's game...

Read this right. Iran wants the US to win her wars in Afghanistan and Iran. As much as she hates the US, civil wars on both Iran's borders is a nightmare she cannot afford.

That's not what you said. You've said that there are places where mules don't go. However, even given your current scenario. You still have to get off road. Even when planting IEDs, there's no choice in the matter. You cannot make it obvious that you've dug a hole in the middle of the road. In...

F-15s, F-16s, Mini-me M1, a home grown designed naval fleet, a fighter industry (albeit one no one else on earth wants to afford), American C4ISR, air-land doctrine. Nukes is a non-starter. The three American Asian allies are under the US nuclear umbrella. You've lost that one before it began...

IEDs are planted where there is a predictable enemy movement. You have to deny that predictability.

*** sign *** There are so many erroneous assumptions (both strategic and asset) here that this thread is presenting the wrong information from all sides. Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are significant military powers. Japan has the strongest fleet in all of East Asia. Taiwan fields a 500,000...

Again, I saw no impact nor external over-pressure damage. 2ndly, it was the Norwegians who 1st had upfront and close examination of the KURSK and nothing they reported indicated an external source of the damage. All the visible evidence thus far that has been presented (and quite a bit of that)...

Well, yes and no. You cannot use the current weapon as it stands ... and that is all I'm willing to say. I'm sure you get my meaning.

From what little that was released on the hull, there was no impact nor over pressure marks on the hull that I can see.

Yeah, I got one. You do a very poor Tom Clancy. Read SUM OF ALL FEARS to at least get an idea will ya? How about starting with the KURSK? Do you know how many warheads were on that thing when it sank? Jana, do at least some semblance of research instead of wild butt imagination that does...

Stop your panic! NOTHING WOULD'VE HAPPENED. If this was the case as you suggested (and it was not, the crews knew what they were carrying), they would not have had the codes to arm the warheads (and in this case, the crews knew they didn't have the codes to arm the warheads). These were just big...

Jana, While you may have point about accountability, get it through your head. Those nukes never left USAF custody. Those crews knew exactly what they were carrying and who they were carrying it for and where they were carrying it to. The nukes were NEVER in danger of being stolen NOR delivered...

What's the point of planting IEDs here? Just another version of BIP, you should have those already. Really depends on the ordnance being disposed off. Napalm just burns while C4 will take a chunk off.

That defeats the purpose of such preparation. You let the bad guy know that you're ready for him so that he doesn't try. You just don't tell him what you're ready for.
