You aren't paying attention to the discussion The guy said Wasp carriers wouldn't operate in littoral areas because they have no weapons You said they have jets He said jets don't count in littoral combat You are now questioning why we are talking about carriers in littoral areas Geez Message too long.

jimbbo!Sfu0Owtvac 10/03/09(Tue)20:56 No. 29079 >>29077 What I'm saying is that while a Wasp/America/Tarawa would be close enough to shore to deploy it's forces, it'd still be far enough away to be out of range of small speedboats.

How about an unusual military vehicle thread?

Pic is an odd T-34 tank variant that would appear to have some sort of machine gun/cannon/grenade launcher attachments. (early smoke screening system?)

Sauber!f1v85QnTcU 10/03/09(Tue)20:42 No. 29078 >>29025 F-16XL greatest plane ever built now all it needs is to be built of titanium and carbon fiber, carry a payload of 35 AIM-9X missiles, turn on it's own axis without changing direction, and mount 6 M-134 miniguns in the nose, and it'll be like it's out of fuckin' wingman.

I'll just leave this here.

0PChan: Anyone have OPERATOR worthy vehicle mods?

Pic semi-related

Some pictures of the insides of an Armoured Infantry Vehicle (AIV) PIRANHA IIIC, in several versions.

These were bought a few years ago by the belgian army to complement our smaller Dingo IIs and lightly armoured Iveco LMVs.

I'm going to start off with the 3 main configurations (from Army Recog forum), and then post the interior (which should be an OPchan first).

This is the infrantry carrier version.

OPERATOR 10/03/08(Mon)22:59 No. 29035 pretty neat

  I think with a bit of work, this plane can be converted into a low price stealth jet

Remove second pilot
Deal with geometry
Include composites
Hide intakes

etc

Octanitrocubane!!DkBQDlZwuw 10/03/08(Mon)21:32 No. 29023 >>29018 a shame they never got to work on the "Yak-43" successor to the VTOL Yak-141. Apparently it was meant to be stealthy and had internal weapons bays. (not much else known on the English speaking side of the internet)

OPERATOR 10/03/08(Mon)22:04 No. 29030 >>29021 How about widening the wings with a diamond configuration and decreasing it to subsonic speed? I'm hoping advances in quantum IR will make IRST a factor in the near future (2020). MiG IR can spot and paint a target at 5 to 7km, which is fairly good I think stealth is a factor because US copters, transports, awacs and ground forces are protected by air superiority jets So you need a small and quiet jet to sneak in and deal damage >>29023 Would have been a lot like F35B considering that it's using a lot of Yak-43 technology Who knows, RuAF is getting interested in replacing every jet in the force with a stealth plane, so it could happen in 10 to 20 years Mikoyan already submitted a design similar to F35A but with a bigger bay

So Opchan, what do you drive? Show me your steel steeds that ferry you to and from your tactical obligations!

Pic related, shooting and off roading in the same day! Hooray for BLM land!

The armored train was an important weapon in the Russian Revolution and the ensuing civil war. Now, it looks as if the Russian government may bring a few out of retirement to fight insurgents in the restless north Caucasus.

While the war in Chechnya may be officially over, attacks on the railway system in neighboring Dagestan have become a major problem. Andrew McGregor of Eurasia Daily Monitor documents over half a dozen recent attacks by militants, who have targeted railways and other key infrastructure. And last year, terrorists struck the Nevsky Express, a luxury train on the Moscow-St. Petersburg line.

A recent article in Russia’s Nezavisimoye voennoye obozrenie (Russian only, sorry) quotes Lt. Gen. Sergei Klimets, commander of Russia’s railway forces, as saying that the special trains were on standby in Russia’s Stavropol region, should they be needed. “The situation is very tense and requires additional measures to ensure the safety of steel highways of the north Caucasus,” the general reportedly said. “So if we get orders to move out, they will be implemented in full.”

It’s an interesting development, with some pretty rich history behind it. The website of Russia’s ministry of defense has a good photo gallery of railway troops in action in Chechnya (1995-1996) and in Abkhazia (in 2008). And if you’ve never seen the cheesy epic Reds, spare yourself three hours and watch the best nine minutes on YouTube: The climactic action scene in which the armored train carrying Warren Beatty gets ambushed by the Whites.

The history of the armored train isn’t limited to Russia. Here’s the link to a November 1899 article from the New York Times archive detailing an attack by Boer guerrillas on a British armored train during the Boer War. The train, the report states “was derailed yesterday by a force of the enemy who were in ambush, and it is estimated the British loss was 100 to 150 in killed, wounded, and missing. Among the latter are Capt. Haldane and Lieut. Winston Churchill, son of Lady Randolph Churchill. Both, it is believed, are prisoners.”

Alright. This is probably the stupidest question I might ask for a while. But I'm tired, and can't sleep. So hey, here we go:

Can you set off reactive armor by punching it?
