Tied

home sweet home, spent alot of time in the Azer SSR

side comparison of Armata SPG and artillery of Mista-S

While doing research on the MiG-25, I came across a couple mentions of something called Project 701. Supposedly, it was a planned replacement for the MiG-31, and was being developed during the late 80s (but never was built). I've seen a couple different conceptual designs posted, of which this one seems the most plausible;

 

 

Although the planform is more than a bit odd for a design that was supposedly to have had low observability features (also, dorsal intakes on a fighter is wrong to me on a visceral level).

 

If anybody has any more information on this, please post it here.

over-budget, it never made it 

 

I will post a picture of Lindsey Lohan Natalya Poklonskaya cleaning an AK, we will have it in no time.

 

gib SerB commander plox 

VK 1602 Leopard scout tank. Not a bad design, if they'd made the turret ring larger and mounted a 105 howitzer to it.

are you being serious

2 drunk 2 know

I've never had beer. 

i thought you had to be legal drinking age to even know about this forum

Why would you need to keep a bottle opener, on a rifle that is basically made of bottle openers?

you cant look like you signed up only for the Czech beer and German girls, i think having a half-dissembled ak-74 might send the wrong message to the political officer

until you become the political officer 

I still cant get any sleep not knowing how thick the armata's turrent armor is

there will never be a day when the T-80 stops looking beautiful 

Back in my day they said the HATO ATGM jeep would kill the tank. 

Well, the next time you need to cross a field under constant mortar fire and MRLS rain, your not gonna chose the frenchmen in his willy's jeep with a Tow straped to it.

besides, armored cars best cars.

Tied. I know sometimes it must be frustrating putting together these awesome photo montages here and at the WoT forums and they don't create a lot of conversation. I think it is in part because they are so God damn awesome that all that I know I can do is say, "Wow. Where the hell did that broad 1970s Soviet stereotype find these?"

 

Like a massive Fourth of July fireworks display or a sunset over the Olympic Mountains in the summer, sometimes all the viewer can do is look and silently applaud.

I mean, I can make as many alt accounts as I want, just to like Tied's photo posts, but some nagging part of my mind is holding me back from doing it. Says it would be "lowbrow" or something.

Bravo, Tied.

its not too far fetched really, like most old folks in my area instead of engaging in useful conversation or elaborating on why exactly you have a shed of mosins, you just pull out the photobook and let the heart pills do the talking 

Looks like somebody didint spend 4 years in western Czechoslovakia with alot of time and bottle openers on their hands 

speaking of which, you guys know all that junk they keep in the stocks of Ak-74s?

im pretty sure they were all bottle openers, or auxiliary bottle openers 

I am, I must admit, a complete dilettante when it comes to military history.  I know that there has been critical analysis of Guderian's autobiography, Erinnerungen eines Soldaten, or Panzer Leader in English, but other than that I am ignorant of it.  Still, I found the book an interesting read, and at times amusing.  Amusing, I think, for reasons old Heinz would not immediately have appreciated:

 

 

Production rationalization is haaarrrdd!  Also, Guderian didn't even play World of Tanks and he knew that the aufklärungspanzer panther was a stupid idea.

 

 

Hitler cannot into tank tactics.

 

 

But just think of how dead it would kill a tank if it did hit!

what does he mean by Leopard?

im sorry if i am missing something obvious, but as the hardest of soviet hardliners i am only physically capable of referring to all and any German tanks as "Fascist box tanks", "ammo-racks on tracks" and "steel coffins". This negates the need for proper knowledge of their cat names

i'll take the word of anyone who has actually worked in the gun industry over the neckbeards who worship it becuase a history channel documentary said the M16 was bad 

No, but don't tell my readers that.

ZSD-90, nice little workhorse

 

No it isn't. The last time they took it out for a spin it drove barely 100 meters and didn't do any pyrotechnics. 

Just like the real T-35 

Me with AR-15/M14.

you hate the m14?

T-28 would be my bet

its actually something worth restoring

wasnt a total failure like the T-35 and was arguably the best medium tank of the 30s
