  1. Apparently the K30 was one of the four systems demonstrated at White Sands for the US Army's "maneuver SHORAD". The other three being a Stryker with an Avenger turret, Iron Dome and something from Lockheed.
  2. We had a drought here a few years ago and there was a big fight over how much water to spill over the dams for salmon vs holding back for farmers.
  3. It just seems like a waste to throw away such an innovative and lightweight design, especially when it had funding.
  4. I wonder how Schumer and Pelosi will spin this when it turns out what they are claiming isn't quite accurate. https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/908153680259686400

  6. M1A2, it's interesting to read something from 1989 and know what complaints have long been rectified (boiling vessel!).
  7. Mystery plane crash at Nellis AFB, the pilot died from his injuries. @Mighty_Zuk Solomon is quite the asshat when it comes to the F-35 huh.
  8. I had assumed it would require a longer bullet but had not considered the reduced propellant capacity. I had also assumed the two cores were meant to ensure the jacket fragmented early/reliably.
  9. With M855A1/M80A1 style ammunition, does the slug really need to be copper? I would think the production costs would be a lot lower by making it out of steel.
  10. http://gd.com/news/press-releases/2017/09/general-dynamics-receives-contracts-upgrade-abrams-main-battle-tanks It hasn't been explicitly stated yet but at this point it is clear that SEPv3 is ECP 1a and SEPv4 is ECP 1b.
