  1. The AIM-9X has been tested against boats and vehicles. And back during Vietnam they messed around with using a version of the AIM-9B against trucks on the Ho Chi Minh trail at night, apparently the headlights/exhausts put out enough of a IR signature for a lock. I suspect that anti-radiation/home-on-jam for the SDB-II and Brimstone will eventually show up, as another mode to their radar guidance packages. (IIRC the Air Force and Raytheon have already worked on a version of the SDB specifically for killing GPS jammers)
  2. That's the SpaceX one right? Though NASA is budgeting money towards new aeronautics research, so I guess we can look forwards to some cool new experimental designs. https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/nasa-proposes-x-plane-revival-with-supersonic-subso-421736/
  3. People like to think they're getting away with secret squirrel stuff. For example, there's a fairly good market for used analogue/digital radio encryption gear with certain groups of ham radio operators, stuff like Motorola SABRE radios and encryption key loaders, despite the fact that encryption isn't allowed on the ham radio bands. (Proprietary closed-source digital voice stuff like DSTAR is allowed, because in the eyes of the FCC since anybody can go and buy a DSTAR radio, it's not encrypted)
  4. That and the internal party split between the leftist progressives and the centrists. I think a lot of the "republican with progressive characteristics" democrats are scared by Bernie. Tax reform, fair wages, universal healthcare, and racial justice? And he's gonna do this by closing tax loopholes for corporations/rich people, cutting subsidies to fossil fuel companies and actually raising/creating taxes? They probably think he's gonna make them drive Reliant Robins after confiscating their Lexera.
  5. The newest F-15Cs were delivered in 1985. The last F-16 was delivered in 2005 while (IIRC) the last batch of 20 Super Hornets will be delivered this year. Boeing is shutting down the F-15E and F/A-18 lines in 2017 (barring further orders) and Lockheed is saying 2018-2020 for F-16 production. 187 F-22s and 2,443 F-35s will be replacing 291 A-10s, 192 F-15Cs, most of the Air Force's 957 F-16s, 314 Navy and 229 Marine Hornets, and around 130 Harriers. Plus 600 or so F-15Es and F/A-18E/F when those start getting phased out.
  6. "Moderate anti-zionists" claim they captured and repaired a Merkava. "Hakeem! Start the engine!" *Flintstones running noises*
  7. Amateur Radio Operation in the Soviet Union circa 1965 A general overview of amateur radio licensing and activities in the period. And of course, there were cranks back then too:
  8. Interesting article about how the US and UK broke encryption on video downlinks from Israeli drones. https://theintercept.com/2016/01/28/israeli-drone-feeds-hacked-by-british-and-american-intelligence/
  9. It seems pretty small for a 5th gen prototype.
  10. And yet the east is still a hotbed of literal Nazis.
  11. R51 died on his way back to the factory after breaking down in Methtown. Speaking of failed pistols, did the Boberg Bullet Puller ever get fixed?
  12. Or denazification that wasn't "shoot a bunch of people, blame problems on 'Nazis in the west' and call it a day." On the other hand, there are more foreigners in the West. http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/eurocrisispress/2015/01/09/the-challenge-of-responding-to-extreme-political-views-germany-struggles-to-address-pegidas-anti-islam-protests/
  13. Nazis aren't exactly known for logical thinking. Heatmap of NPD ("Moderate Euroskeptics", friends with France National and similar bald-headed shitlers) votes in 2013 by district: Attacks against refugees in 2015 until late November. It seems the "Valley of the Clueless" (term for areas that couldn't receive TV/radio from West Germany) still applies to Saxony.
  14. I meant "women as objects" in the Saudi sense. Well to get back on topic, Schwarzesmarken apparently had a character defecting to East Germany. I guess because they wanted to go beat up refugees in Saxony or something? I dunno. Muv-Luv is a terrible franchise from what I remember hearing of it.
  15. Trump supporters are scared by the world and treat women like objects. Anime nerds are scared by the world and treat women like objects. Yeah, it checks out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTbWh4kBnkA (HITLER ICONOGRAPHY!)
  16. mighty krupskull never penetrated frontally by dinnerware.
  17. And of course there's the question of why a ground attack aircraft would be operating without cover in the first place.
  18. How seriously and by who? Actual engineers, or by "China greatest country!"/Ausairpower types in fantasyland? It's not impossible (directional jammers have been showing up recently for security guards to "shoot down" drones) but I see a number of flaws in the concept. Range (HF can be easily jammed normally while VHF/UHF basically requires direct line of sight), that it would effect friendly equipment as much as enemy equipment and probably more so considering you're pushing enough power to burn up EMP-hardened equipment and your stuff is closer to the transmitter, and likewise the issue of RF exposure hazards for the operators.
