    Plans are typically given as a series of profiles (in x and y) that get faired into an entire hull, so I think lofting is the way to go

    Very good, my mutant 6 isn't as exclusive as it used to be

    Wire cutters have been standard on most british vehicles for a while:

    Only 5 degrees of protection for the welded leo 1 turret? That's very narrow, M60 and chieftain were +/- 22.5 degrees IIRC

    Mix a spice rub with breadcrumbs? Should give the same effect

    Huh, I figured they'd assemble the array as a unit then bolt the whole thing to the hull. Wiring up all the hydrophones must be a pain. I hadn't noticed the casing on the keel before, odd. We should be able to see torpedo tubes from that view as well, I wonder when they're fitted during construction?

    For island's you'd be better off with an amphibious IFV, they'll both swim to shore - I'll be amazing if it gets beyond mountain troops

    The Argentine navy held a press conference, with ROV pics of the vessel: http://gacetamarinera.com.ar/informaron-acerca-de-la-identificacion-fehaciente-del-submarino-ara-san-juan/ 900 metres down, and right next to where the acoustic anomaly was detected by the CTBTO - she's been hidden right where we thought she was all this time. RIP

    Good point, I hadn't thought of mountains

    You'd have to be pretty light for that to be the best you can get - it's possible to air-drop something with actual armour, and wheeled IFVs are a thing now

    Good timing, they had just passed the original contracted search time (so probably got to ask for more money) https://news.usni.org/2018/11/15/after-a-year-search-for-missing-argentine-submarine-continues

    It would be an easy training course for ex-M60 tankers

    Get one of those "do you accept cookies from this site" banners, and have that emote show when visitors click "yes"

    A ~10kg ATGM is a lot more mobile (and probably cheaper unless you're dealing with dozens of targets), and something like a small recoilless rifle will be cheaper and lighter. It is cute, but I can't see any problem it's particularly good at solving

    Why'd they switch the driver and bow gunner?

    There's some work looking at self-assembling 3d printed structures (that start off printed as one shape, then transform into the final shape) that's been called 4d. It'd be a pretty neat gun design that made use of it

    It's working pretty well with F-35, there's bound to be loads of countries willing to pay for Su-57

    Bring back the rams! Kuznetzov managed to beat up a dock, so she'd totally be good for close combat.

    Some kind of APS-proof tank destroyer to take out IFV's & bigger tanks from the rear? I'm not sure what it provides that a butt-load of ATGM's (for equal weight as the 40mm & ammo) wouldn't

    I have a suggestion:
