What scares me isn't outside of Turkey, it's what's inside... The minute they'll feel rejected by Occident, the political spectrum in the country is likely to turn for the worst. http://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/article.aspx?id=809

Some export Fiat 6640A ??

Maybe the Joker is in the hand of the European Union. Turkey wants to join real bad and they are taking every steps required of them (from building new occidental style prison, changing the judicial system, implement solid human rights politics, etc. ) and that excludes many more aggressive...

Yeah nice job. (I feel like my file must be lost in the janitor's closet...) :cdn:

Yes, a little more than 2 weeks. But it surely isn't because there are documents missing in my application, they have asked me to wait for the list of documents I needed to give them... Sure, I'm a little impatient, but big changes such as these are stressful, as you all know.

I sent my electronic application to CRFC Montreal three weeks ago and someone called me a few days later to tell me that my first choice wasn't available and that I should put my 2nd choice as my 1st. I asked him some legitimate questions about this new information and he just answered that...

And the race will soon heat up: http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/micro_stories.pl?ACCT=149999&TICK=RTN&STORY=/www/story/02-08-2006/0004277736&EDATE=Feb+8,+2006 I know it's only against RPG, but I guess it will work against 'slow' ATGM's as well some day. Funny how they installed this system...

Did it include a Master Degree? Thank you.

OK, I have another one! (just tell me if I'm annoying) The fact that this system is monted on such "soft" plateforms (M113, LAVIII, HMMVW...),am I right to assume that they are mostly being used in a defensive role, mostly to protect infantry progression from armour threats? Thanks

Indeed, but these negotiations are rarely known to the general public, they only become so after the war as ended. There are numerous reasons why these remain secret.

OK I should do my own research... According to Jane's: "The BGM-71E TOW 2A has the same dimensions as TOW 2 but has an enhanced warhead for use against reactive armour. This warhead has a weight of 6.09 kg and the total missile weight is increased to 22.7 kg. This version has an improved K-41...

I don't think planning the killing of a member of the Parliament is acceptable. Negotiations in a time of war are not publicly acceptable (you cant talk to the guy that kill your soldiers in the field) and they must remain secret. The fact that the public wants more negotiation with the enemy...

Bush's administration is renowned for the small number of counsellors that really have access to the president. Such small deciding groups almost always turn paranoid and develop a 'us' against them' mentality that is very detrimental to almost any level of bureaucracy. Nixon's administration...

Don't worry about it. I could become an armour officer eventually and I'm curious about things that could kill me...  :skull: When you talk about slow flight speed... How slow can that be? How long does it take to fly it's whole 3.75 km range?

I'm a french Canadian and I consider myself bilingual. I play TACOPS sometimes and it always baffled me how many TOW missiles could be launch without needing any reload... (I know its just a game...) Thanks

I have some questions of my own out of curiosity: 1- What other vehicle other than the M113 carries the TOW in the CF? 2- How long does it take to reload? Thanks.

A Swedish Stridsvagn 103 with his gun removed??? (don't flame me for trying, I'm just a noob :P)

The Cold War taught us that the MAD doctrine (mutual-assured destruction) worked somehow. By selling anti-missile systems to their allies, the American Government is augmenting the insecurity of every other nations who do not have such system in its arsenal. Insecurity isn't good news in...
