Hensoldt makes good stuff, their PERI sights, MUSS APS, and aircraft countermeasure systems give everyone else a run for their money. Also, the guys I worked with were funny and great dudes.

At the very least, protective masks should be standard issue. MOPP suits can be a battalion level issue.

Thanks for putting words in my mouth. Keep in mind, everything I have ever said is in regards to combat capabilities and weapons/sensor outfitting. Furthermore, my last post mentions nothing of displacement and is entirely in regards to ABM capability. Which if you don't already know, does not...

The problem is if you're building your forces to counter that of China's, you more or less have to include ABM among capabilities that you need to have. Keep in mind, Chinese doctrine is to saturate an area with missiles before sending in ground troops. A large percentage of their funding goes...

The problem with the Syrian military is that their tactics, training, and doctrine is crap and they outright refuse to learn from their mistakes. If they bothered to learn they wouldn't lose hundreds of vehicles in a month. Without Russian air and materiel support; ISIS, Al-Nusra, and Turkey...

I sincerely doubt our boomer generals have that much forethought and simply selected the Leopard 2 based off a Wikipedia article.

Go with Tatra or Sisu from Finland. cost efficient and battle tested products at NATO grade quality.

Fucking finally. Y'all don't want to know how much it costs to have 3 different colors of aviation grade paint on 1 aircraft.

Well yeah, SG and OZ aren't the ones intruding upon national waters, and the fact that we have larger economic partnerships with the former two over China also settles that position.

I did answer them with facts, you just chose not to accept it.

Yes, that is the law, but so far when it comes to Russia I guess the laws don't apply does it? Considering the Su-35 does not include any sort of ToT at all, not even MRO support, and the majority of the companies involved in the trade barter deal are ones who are close to the current cabinet of...

The allowed PTDI and GMF AeroAsia to conduct MRO maintenance on them, something that can't be said for any of our Russian bought arms. We do produce them, in fact it's why the WHO considers us better prepared to deal with the crisis than Singapore or Philippines. Our decentralized government...

It's pretty funny how they will never admit that they can't buy it because admitting that the US has them by the balls is somehow political suicide.

It's an Ohio Ordnance M240.

I still find it pretty funny that they went with black over costs even though Olive Drab or Ranger Green isn't that far off when it comes to price per meters.

A lot cheaper to procure then the Su-35 even. Through loans under the US's Foreign Military Sales program, the Kuwait Air Force procured 22 F/A-18E's and 8 F/A-18F's along with associated weapons and equipment for $1.5 billion. Couple that with the KC-46, the E-7A, and the P-8 you could give the...

The third party only did it because of a nod of approval from the US. The Air Force itself does not like the Flankers. Back in 2003 when the embargo was still fresh, they welcomed them with open arms as they sorely needed air frames for patrols and sorties. However after a decade of operating...

It was in an Teknologi Strategi Militer article from back then, an AU official confirmed it.

No, that's not what happened. Like I said earlier, the Royal Netherlands Air Force was giving us limited spare parts support; Which they wouldn't have done unless the US gave them the go ahead.
