I was thinking a tiny EFP (maybe 20cm diameter). Just enough to kill someone or break a sensitive piece of equipment.
Barring that - a single-use carbon fibre barrel running the length of the fuselage, with a pistol cartridge at the breech end.
What about gas or even a poison needle?
I could see a swarm of such things being incredibly effective in hostage scenarios, delivering incapacitating agents directly to the bad guys.

Why the inset drawing of the Kirovets?
Do you have any more BTW? I recently bought a 1/72 kit of the K-700a so any detail information would be very welcome.

Watched this today. It's fuuuucking great
Free climbing El Capitan.....Fuck me!
But why is that video in this thread?

Looks like the cover of something really rather nasty has been blown here, more stories are beginning to emerge:
-
Possibly the most ridiculously selective (& utterly self defeating) survey that I've ever seen:
http://arabcenterdc.org/survey/arabs-opinion-trump-oct-2017/
QuoteWhen asked about their general views of the United States, almost half of the Arab public surveyed expressed positive views (48%).
Well, the ones who haven't recently been bombed by the US, at any rate.....I'm guessing including polling figures from Iraq, Syria & Libya might skew those numbers a bit.
PS - If you believe that shit, I've got some seafront property in Birmingham that would make a perfect vacation home for you.
-
Consortium News suggest a change in US stance towards Hezbollah may be imminent:
https://consortiumnews.com/2019/01/23/the-unwritten-rule-between-us-and-hizbullah/
IIRC Lebanon & Iran are the only nations on the infamous 'list' that the US has not directly attacked yet.....Time to tick off another?
You can never have too many military fiascos on-going at once, apparently.....But hey, Israel will be happy.
-
Wouldn't that reduce the protection from sabot rounds?
-
To be fair, the UK Tories (in conjunction with your US Democrats) do seem to be dead set on starting something with Russia that they presumably expect the US to finish.....Suffice it to say that I don't identify with any part of that, nor in my experience do a good portion of the British public, despite what our media would have you believe.

If your country bordered Mexico at the South, you'd already be at war with them.
We have the whole of Europe for our jollies.

You ain't seen nothing yet.....Ask Turkey.

What? You appreciate what language you are you are (ab)using and how that came to be? You couldn't be more wrong unless you were speaking Latin, or perhaps Mongolian.
21 hours ago, Sturgeon said:Incompetent war.
Coming from an American that's absolutely fucking priceless.

Yeah, I'm sure they'd just jump at the chance.....I mean what could possibly go wrong:
-
Gonna be kinda lively on your southern border pretty soon, I reckon.

Are we sure about that?

It's a popular colloquialism for 'Tory MP'.
If you use it on any British media site, people will know exactly what you mean.

This probably won't help negotiations much:
QuoteNoting that missile bases would presumably have to be part of any agreement committing North Korea to “complete, verifiable, and irreversible” denuclearisation, Cha warned: “The North Koreans are not going to negotiate over things they don’t disclose. It looks like they’re playing a game. They’re still going to have all this operational capability” even if they destroy their disclosed nuclear facilities.
Kim's a sneaky little fucker, & that's a fact.
-
Errrr.....Trident is NOT actually our toy (despite it independently attempting to nuke the US in the most recent trial).
-
Which just goes to show what the 'Tough On Defence Tories' are actually worth.....An island nation without anti-shipping or long range air-defence missiles! FFS! Toffee nosed wankers.
Hopefully, once Jezza gets in, his (alleged) Russian chums will sell us S-400 and Bastion.

Does this article strike anyone else as being irrationally optimistic:
Further sources (from article, but it swiftly shows the sort of drivel they're using as evidence):
https://www.csis.org/analysis/state-afghan-war
The Taliban and its ideology are deeply unpopular, even compared to the current government and it security forces. A nationwide poll in 2015, for example, found that 92 percent of Afghans supported the Kabul government and only 4 percent favored the Taliban.
It's not explicitly stated, but I'm
guessingabsolutely bloody certain that would be a survey of those living in the areas of the country controlled by the government.....Due to the return of data, rather than the pollster's severed head. -
Didn't a video pop up in one of the Russian/Soviet tank threads that suggested that the T-80UD (or the example in the video at least) did have neutral steer.....I seem to recall some surprised comments at the time???

Do they do 'Group Darwin Awards'?
This is gasoline:
What could possibly go wrong?

Weird, reports here (admittedly in not brilliant sources, but allegedly quoting Interfax) are claiming one of the Su-34s managed to land after the collision:
“One Su-34 fell after the collision, and the other managed to land with a defunct engine,” a source said.

Well at least he had to leave.....Remember this?

You guys like kites at all?

'Tis a trainwreck of epic proportions.....Truly worth of a great tory like Theresa May.

Aaaah.....Now I understand why the Kirovets drawing was in the other thread.
He seemed to be coming in very fast, but the bounce on landing is strange, did it hit something?
