    Name This Photo!!! - The AFV Recognition Thread

    You got it! I was about to post up a second picture. http://www.morozov.com.ua/eng/body/bmt72.php?page=def5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgJPU5DltmM A hybrid MBT/IFV based on the T-72 and using the T-84's powerpack.  Similar idea to the (also Ukrainian) BTMP-84 which is based on the...

    Not yet. Not that this likely helps much, but this vehicle is, as far as I can find, still in prototype form only.

    Canadian forces scare off pirate attack

    What rotating barrels?  Apaches have always had a single barrel 30mm chain gun You may be thinking of the AH-1 Cobra (obligatory wiki link to AH-1 armaments) Chain guns and Gatling guns aren't the same thing

    Name This Photo!!! - The AFV Recognition Thread

    I hope this hasn't been done yet, but the search function seems to be a little wonky. I'll be out all day, but I'm confident you'll all be able to reach a consensus. And if it's been done, well, dangit, I guess I'll need to search harder next time.

    Damn it, wrote down the wrong title.  I found this clip of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRf4fn2luXg I'll let the OP decide who gets it though.

    The tank from Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail? It looks almost like a Char B1, but alas, the driver's position on that isn't centered, doesn't have the sponsons, and the pictures show the lack of a hull gun, while the way the tracks slope down in front doesn't seem to match any of the British...

    Chinese Military,Political and Social Superthread

    Markets are places of many sellers and many buyers.  I notice most of those cheap Chinese goods are not sold, designed, or marketed by a Chinese company - one reason their net trade surplus is much smaller than some of their bilateral trade surpluses (notably with the EU and the US).  Taiwanese...

    Hk416 to Direct Impingment

    Looking at some of the AR-15 threads on CGN, I wouldn't find that surprising at all.

    Hk416 to Direct Impingment

    A few months late, but I don't suppose it would be politically feasible to sell the existing uppers to civilians as milsurps and use the proceeds to partially finance buying 416 uppers, would it? Do the 416 lowers differ significantly from other AR-15 lowers in any way?

    Negative views about US from South Korean soldiers and youth

    Well, that, five republics (on their 6th now), a couple of coupt d'etats, a massacre that actually sounds like a mini-version of Tiannamen without the tanks, and just short of four decades.  The current South Korean democracy is barely past the two decade mark.  The US sacrifices in the Korean...

    Supplier Under Scrutiny on Aging Arms for Afghans

    There's a sticky in the milsurp section of CGN detailing how to open a crate of surplus Czech 7.62 x 39 by the user Proutfoo. I think it's the same setup as you described. These are his pictures from the stickied thread

    Why hire extra folks to do it when you have bored air defence units around?  ;) Putin apparently tried it too http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article1135006.ece, but it seems like it didn't work too well at the G8 summit though http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/5189048.stm...

    I thought cloud seeding was old hat.  Seems like a number of groups in various places do it already.  Would it have made the news without the Olympics link?
