  1. I had seen reports of bombing at the Conico plant. I can't say I know too much about the relations between the SDF and SAA/Russia. Is this rise in tensions due to the two sides coming into contact over the oil and resources outside Deir Ezzor, or is it things coming to a point in overall relations and land claim. I don't figure there's a lot of communication and diplomacy between the two on the matter..
  2. I think it might be a bit of perspective there, but it does seem bigger.
  3. Fritz X's on a B-25? For reference, none of the markings on the plane here are original.
  4. Clashes and death toll in India after spiritual/cult leader found guilty of raping two followers.
  5. These are all export vehicles, yes? I am assuming V is what the Chinese use for such designation.
  6. If the Kurganets is a no-go, I wonder if a turret-less BMP-3 would make for a good alternative, particularly the Dragun version with the frontal engine. It'd be similar to the AMPV and Bradley business.
  7. What's the motive with using Hellfires in the anti-air role? Is it because of a 'target anything' capability?
  8. Rising tensions and more saber-rattling on the Chinese-Indian border. http://www.newsweek.com/china-india-doklam-military-647036 http://www.eurasiareview.com/06082017-china-ups-rhetoric-in-border-row-with-india/
  9. More Cobra King getting some attention and loading up for the future National Museum of the United States Army at Fort Belvoir. M74 I forgot to label the previous post. Tanks are T34 and T43.
  10. The gun looks like a 25mm Bushmaster. I realize it may not be the final product, but I thought most armies were trending towards higher caliber autocannons in their IFVs nowadays.
  11. Definitely an M114. I've never seen the hatch before there either, and I can't find pictures of any other vehicles with it. There are also clear changes to the engine area up top and on the front glacis. Perhaps someone had some fun and interest with the thing and souped up the engine.
