    I'm going to assume the differences are going to be even more marked with the R-27s used by the VVS?
  2. SuperComrade
    They haven't made those since 1945.
  3. SuperComrade
    Something interesting I haven't seen before
  4. SuperComrade
    Oh, sweet. $1 is fine.
  5. SuperComrade
    I'll see if my "sources" have it...
  6. SuperComrade
    Ah, I see. I should read that then.

    Gordon L. Rotman (who wrote the Pz III vs. M3 Grant) usually tends to write the Warrior books (he wrote Soviet Rifleman, NVA Soldier, and Viet Cong). He has a very dry writing style that almost reads like a field manual. He's okay, but not the best Osprey writer by any means.

    Was that a testbed for Obj 430? Or a proposed upgrade to the T-54?
  9. SuperComrade
    Maybe next time someone can sneak in a pinhole camera.

    Lol, looks like noone wants to initiate Brexit, since BoJo won't do it, and neither will Cameron

    Didn't stop them from using Proton till today, though. Speaking of which, Russianspaceweb reports that a light Proton rocket variant was proposed this year http://russianspaceweb.com/proton-light.html

    I'm skeptical of the UK's ability to go it alone. They've thrown a lot their chips into finance with London at the financial center of the EU. They will lose that with Brexit. They also don't really manufacture or produce that much, and 58% of that goes to the EU.

    What made him change his mind? lol http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/06/27/russia-turkish-president-sorry-for-shoot-down-russian-military-jet.html

    http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2012/nov/22/eu-budget-spending-contributions-european-union According to their table: Germany, France, Finland, Sweden, the UK, the Netherlands, and Austria. Germany and France are the two largest contributors, both net and gross. Everyone else is a net receiver.

    That is the SP-70 Tri-national howitzer prototype http://www.military-today.com/artillery/sp70.htm This photo says it is the Phase A prototype

    Well, Scotland's independence referendum was supposed to be "once in a generation", but yet now they're talking about having a new one... Parliament's response will be interesting, at least.

    That there is a correlation between age demographic and voting pattern?
  19. SuperComrade
    I'm not dismissing them. I find such a strong correlation between age and remain/leave to be pretty striking. I'm not British, so Brexit doesn't really affect me (though I think the British are a lot more dependent on the EU than they like to admit, and they will be hurting pretty badly if they really do pursue this course). They will have to think very long and hard about this because, all things considered, the British actually have a pretty good deal from the Euros, and if they leave, they are most definitely not going to get nearly as good an agreement in the future.

    It's also been a little over 100 years since the Bloody Easter Uprising in Ireland

    Also, um, Airbus is not mincing its words http://www.reuters.com/article/britain-eu-airbus-group-idUSL8N19G2DE
  22. SuperComrade
    Yeah, but the youth vote doesn't usually matter that much because, you know, young people are too apathetic and don't come out to vote. Also, what problem? It's pretty consistent with what we know about how people vote. And it's also entirely correct to say that younger people have a lot more at stake when it comes to this whole Brexit thing, whatever the consequences may be
  23. SuperComrade
    If the UK does leave and tries to get let in again, the EU has every incentive to kick them while they're down to ensure that none of the more insolent members even think of trying this in the future.
  24. SuperComrade
    Yes, but this means they leave. And then come back in. You can't start Article 50 proceedings and say "Wait! I changed my mind!". You're going to be out the door, and you'll have to reapply again like a normal country. Which for the UK means that they will likely have Schengen and the Euro imposed on them.
  25. SuperComrade
    It's not exactly wrong...
