  1. F. Jeffery @Natsecjeff Quite a few people in Pakistan see Indian incursion as an act of war. The problem isn't that Indian jets dropped payload on Pakistani soil and Indian govt falsely claimed killing 100s of militants, but that Indian jets dared to enter Pakistani airspace, as one commentator put it.
  2. Shelling along both sides of the LOC, with reports of Indian fighters dropping bombs inside Pakistan. https://mobile.twitter.com/SaadAbedine/status/1100435835458072577
  3. We've had some discussion on this on the dicksword over the past couple of day, but we don't have a thread for discussion here. As this has the potential to get really nasty, I figure we should have a separate thread for it. Anyhow, one very odd one from twitter. Kashmir Intel @KashmirIntel BREAKING: Indian Air Force’s wing commander Arvind Sinha committed suicide by shooting himself with a double barrel gun in his residential quarters at the Air Force colony in Allahabad, north #India https://mobile.twitter.com/KashmirIntel/status/1100444271906181120
  4. Welcome to SH. If you haven't yet, please read this thread. Good luck in your search for information. You may want to check out this thread as well for information on the Abrams.
  5. Flight 3 Burke class DDG poduction is 'on track'. Big upgrade from Flight III is the SPY-6 and AEGIS baseline 10 update. So the flight III Burkes should be even more capable missile defense ships. https://news.usni.org/2019/02/22/arleigh-burke-program-manager-flight-iii-production-on-track Edit: Holy shit, they've upgraded the AC from 5 200 ton units to 5 300 ton units just to cool the new radar. oO
  6. If I'm a member of the Naval infantry and the choice is a Sprut or nothing? I'll take the Sprut. It can also fire the 125mm GLATGMs that the Russians have. I don't really know how effective they are against tanks, but a 125mm diameter HEAT warhead is nothing to sneeze at. I'm hardly saying it's the be all and end all, but it gives you a bit more punch than a BMD-3
  7. The Sprut has a 125 mm gun. Pretty sure it's effective against most MBTs.
  8. As I don't read Russian, what's the breakdown on what that says?
  9. This seems like a pretty important decision by the Supreme Court. I've never understood how Civil Asset Forfeiture stood up to constitutional muster in the US. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/supreme-court-says-constitutional-protection-against-excessive-fines-applies-to-state-actions/2019/02/20/204ce0d4-3522-11e9-af5b-b51b7ff322e9_story.html?fbclid=IwAR38Bg7OBw4OugPEk1N6C6CYH_WyMtq4XbDd0ulsGe5zpeHvVVI9_KE-Xhw&utm_term=.39dffa34cd7e
  10. There was a bit of discussion about this on Discord tonight. What's up with wanting to give these shitlords nuclear tech? Doesn't seem like a real good idea to me... https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/why-was-the-trump-administration-so-eager-to-give-nuclear-technology-to-the-reckless-saudi-regime/2019/02/21/e40e38e6-353c-11e9-a400-e481bf264fdc_story.html?fbclid=IwAR1xuoJpZ60oOoCFdxr8XhL0ZR7itVBdPQsCkWt4zezkp-0lHjxYCWsvJXs&noredirect=on
