Belesarius got a reaction from Jeeps_Guns_Tanks in The interesting ship photos/art thread.

" Five DesRon12 destroyers make formation S-turns in Iron Bottom Sound, off Guadalcanal. Savo Island is in the distance. They were returning from one of their raids on Rabaul in February 1944, and executed the high-speed turns as a salute to the three ships of the squadron that had been sunk in the vicinity of Iron Bottom Sound. This had become a custom whenever DesRon12 ships passed Savo Island after a successful raid against the Japanese. Commanded by Captain Rodger W. Simpson, the squadron raided Rabaul on 17-18 and 23-25 February 1944. His flagship was USS Farenholt (DD-491). Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.

I'm stuck working, but Merry Christmas to all. May your day be non-stressful and your family be at least entertainingly crazy. I hope we can all overindulge in good food of your choice. (Roast Striploin on the menu for us.)

Belesarius got a reaction from Lord_James in Vehicles of the PLA: Now with refreshing new topic title!
Unlikely. SH is a Darwinian environment when it comes to low effort posting. Link or die.

Let’s try to be a little nicer and/or forgiving.
But if peasant could make the question clearer, that would be welcome.

Belesarius reacted to Collimatrix in Why not turret less light tanks? (WWII)
... What are you talking about? The Chinese just announced a new light tank, along with an export variant of the same. The Royal Thai Army still uses their Stingrays, Argentina still has TAMs, the PLA has ditched their Type 62s, but something like half a dozen other countries still use them.
You really need to do basic research before you post things, that is, if you wish to escape your reputation as a hopeless idiot. Posting in complete sentences would also help.

Belesarius reacted to LoooSeR in Kamov new concept leak
I don't believe in miracles, i do believe that some work is done on this project (or similar) in Kamov with completely unknown potential result and unknown result/outcome that were intended/expected by those who work on it. Thats why i mentioned that we don't know if it is NIR or OKR, which are different type of R&D, with first being more like "let's see if it works at all", and OKR being "let's make a vehicle according to those requirements".

Belesarius reacted to Sturgeon in The Kerbal Space Program Total Sperg Zone
I was lamenting on Discord that I don't have a payload big enough for my Kronosaurus booster (x24 F-1 on first stage, x24 J-2 on second stage, 845 real tonnes to LEO), and @RobotMinisterofTrueKorea and I finally came up with an idea:
What could this possibly be?
