R2D2's evil brother that shoots down missles for the navy... the CWIS!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

dam right that thing is scary

[Moose]

Tomcat's still look the business...

Damn, those russians sure build pretty flying machines..

 

I prefer the SU-27 Flanker myself, mainly because I once played a superb flight simulator named just that.

 

[moreKOTORplz]

tomcat is my first love, and in one, the coolest tom cruise has ever been

 

no love for the f-15?

[Moose]

By the way, the new F-22 Raptor went operational about 10 days ago... has anybody got any decent pictures of it?

[moreKOTORplz]

 

(w00t) wEEE

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

All I seem to remember about the F-15 was the cool flight sim that was about on the Commodore?

[moreKOTORplz]

yeah no movies or love, and its the greatest fighter ever built by the US (f-22 excluded)

[Kinslayer]

Although it's pretty old and is planned to be decomissioned by the year 2020, the F-14 is still sometimes the weapon of choice because it's the only plane able to carry the AIM-54 Phoenix Missile.....

 

But hey, try this with any US or European jet and you'll end up six feet under.....too bad the Russian economy can't keep up with the aerospace technologies its scientists come up with, all the pretty planes like the SU 47, MIG 35 or the TU 60 gone with the wind....

[moreKOTORplz]

i love the fact our next generation billion dollar fighter still can't touch the (is the SU or MIg 35 that is the top climber) in thrust vectoring. soviet power

One of the design problems of stealth though. Hiding all that thrust output heat signature would be near to impossible. As stealth capabilities go, it's apparently as difficult to detect as a bird flying pass at the same altitude...

Yeah, but your air doctrine is to fire missles from great range, rather then engaging in dogfights.....and in today's modern air combat the winner is praticley the one that gets a missle lock first, and the US's approach with the stealth technology is - you can't destroy what you can't see.

The MIG 35 was supossed to be Russia's pathway to the new generation of stealth aircraft, but there's no money.....

lmao at that video... that planes got to be completely unstallable. Yeah we'll just fling around in the air like a flying hammer and have it immediately break out flying again within a microsend... awesome.

Did someone call in an artillery barrage? :D

Nothing says "Wehrmaht Officer" to me like Walther P38:

It's when you see things like that the Nuke Cannons in Command and Conquer become laughable in how they don't simply destroy the entire map...

 

Hell I don't think even with maps the size of the ones in Supreme Commander (Chris Taylor's new RTS) a nuke cannon would be realistic.

 

Map sizes of Supreme Commander if anyone's interested :Clicky

Look at the size of those balls!

The Tsar cannon is ****ing awesome.

Spacy, however I think this is cooler.

Edit: Hmm will have to find a different pic.

Mmm... sci-fiy.

[11XHooah]

Here is my favorite pistol of all time:

 

 

The Colt 45 I heard the Army may be switching back to using these instead of the M9. I can only hope.

but the M9 doesn't seem too bad... here's the army fact file for it...

Mmmm....that is no sci-fiy Darkside...that is the XM8 Future Combat Rifle project which was supossed to replace the current M4 and M16. ATK Integrated Defense, Plymouth, Minn., and Heckler and Koch from Oberndorf, Germany were in charge of research and production. On October 2005, the XM8 program was formally suspended by the Congress, "pending further US Army reevaluations of its priorities for small caliber weapons, and to incorporate emerging requirements identified during Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The Government will also incorporate studies looking into current capability gaps during said reevaluation.
