    Well, at least you can spend your time on healthier and more productive pass times, like hookers and cocaine

    Did you check your account security?
    I had once somebody just casually playing on my account for I don't know how long, despite securing it with two different email adress and a phone number.  I only noticed because he changed my default line-up on the US tree. Guy didn't even bothered trying to change my password to lock me out.
    Managed to get him kicked out and had to add another layer of security on my account. Whole thing ended up being rather benign but it shouldn't have happened anyway.
    Gajin account security is quite frankly utter shite.

    In the direct attack mode, NLAW can only defeat soft targets and lightly armored targets. Heavily armored targets can only be defeated in the overfly top attack mode.

    This is Krasukha-4 jammer itself. 

    Note different shape of box. And note vehicle in the background - this is exactly what is on your picture.
     

    Here is same box. Your picture shows command post for Krasukha-4, which is basically some computers and coms to coordinate work of a unit with rest of forces.
     

    This is probably closest photo angle to a container claimed to be Krasukha jammer. 
     
    Command post inside:
     
    So this thing is deffinetly not a claimed jammer. Closest thing this container is looking like is command post for Krasukha-4. Problem is that without pictures from other angles and from inside, it is pretty hard to be sure, because there are plenty of other similarly looking containers with completely different stuff in them:

    For example this one is pretty close in shapes and details
     
     
    This is what those containers are:

    Lord_James reacted to Laser Shark in Movie tanks and terrible Vismods   
    The original uploader (who has since deleted the photo, but you can still access the thread in its entirety here) wrote that it was taken on an air force base in the US, and that he didn’t take many photos because he was unsure if he was allowed to do this. He also mentioned that there was a T-72 there (or more like another since the real identity of this “T-90” is clear), as well as several M60s. Finally there was this interesting quote from him:
     
    “An observation I made there were several pickup trucks Under canopy's adjacent to this tank with similar camera and antenna setups they appear to be to be controlled remotely The tank also had an emergency off button wired and mounted at the rear near the engine deck”
     
    Adding these clues together, it seems to me like he might be talking about vehicles that are intended to be used in the training of air force pilots, allowing them to familiarize themselves with how this stuff looks from above, when on the move etc., but I could be completely wrong.

    To let the actual missile bypass BMD systems, because the decoy would be intercepted instead of the warhead. Decoys were commonly employed in ICBMs since the 70s.

    Lord_James reacted to 2805662 in Land 400 Phase 3: Australian IFV   
    Well, if the rumours are correct, Lynx has been chosen by the government for Land 400 Phase 3.
     
    Here are the current rumours:
    Political:
    - 400-3 will be announced prior to the federal election (~21 May 22) & associated caretaker period. 
    - Rheinmetall was chosen by the Defence Minister. 
    - the incipient federal election meant Rheinmetall was favoured by MINDEF. 
    - PM faced a choice: choose Rheinmetall or face a leadership challenge by MINDEF.  

    Military:
    - Army’s preferred equipment solution was Redback. 
    - Army’s advice to MINDEF was Redback. 
    - MINDEF distrusts ADF leadership (see Brereton Report). 
    - this echoes selection of MRH over Blackhawk. 
    - Army fears an “Australian AJAX” with vibration & reliability issues of Lynx to be resolved. 

    Industrial:
    - the L400-3 project, even with the reduction of scope of the numbers & variants, will represent Rheinmetall’s largest single contract ever. 
    - Rheinmetall’s largest contract prior to this was L400-2. 
     
    Either way, Lynx appears to be it.

    If there’s going to be a regime change, the best thing that could happen is everyone else staying out of it, so we don’t continue this problem of “foreign powers are swaying elections” that got us into this shit. I doubt that will happen, because international politics leave something to be desired, but I can hope.
