renhanxue got a reaction from Collimatrix in The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
A friend got this declassified recently. There's a test report that goes with it too that he hasn't scanned yet, will translate and post as soon as he does.

No naked chicks. But here you go anyway, enjoy: http://imgur.com/a/1iSr0
I added some very brief summaries in English to most of the pages.

renhanxue got a reaction from Donward in Swedish aircraft carrier proposal, 1946
I recently found a really weird thing in the archives.
(click for bigger)
A few drawings of an honest-to-god aircraft carrier (although a tiny one) dated in May 1946. I have no idea how serious this proposal was, and I currently don't know any background information that could explain the existence of this project either. It's very detailed but I really can't figure out what they were thinking they'd do with it - projecting power in the Baltic sea really isn't that big of a deal.
Data as given in the drawing
Length overall: 148.2 m
Designed waterline length: 140 m
Greatest beam: 28.4 m
Beam at design waterline: 20 m
Design draft: 5.5 m
Displacement, standard: 7800 tonnes
Displacement, full load: 8100 tonnes
Speed at 28000 shaft horsepower: 25 knots
Aircraft carried: 20 de Havilland Sea Vampire
Artillery:
- eight 12 cm guns in twin turrets
- 16 40mm Bofors autocannons in both single and twin mountings
- 17 single-mount 25mm autocannons
Armor:
- 75 mm waterline belt plus 25 mm in "torpedo compartments" (?)
- 25 + 50 mm deck
Crew: 535 men
Side and top view:

renhanxue got a reaction from Belesarius in The Swedish AFV Thread: Not Just Strv 103s
Hi hello, Google Analytics referer stalking brought me here. :V I guess I could make a PDF if you want one, shouldn't be too much effort.
Also, I guess I should mention I'm TheFluff on SA.
sp15 posts almost all drawings I find in the WoT forums thread (well, the low quality handheld camera versions, the scans I have to pay good money for we're a bit more restrictive with) but since almost everything else I find is in Swedish I don't post much of it since there's been very little response to the documents posted to my blog. I do have like 15,000 photographed document pages on my Google Drive at this point though and if you speak Swedish I'd be glad to share them - just send me your email address and I'll share the folder with you.
I'm pretty sure the difference in muzzle velocity and pen was kinda insignificant but I can't prove it because it's not declassified yet.
I'm also pretty sure I recall reading somewhere that a feasibility study of upgunning the 103 was done but it was discarded as too expensive.
