  1. I assume that LAV is just being used as a testbed and that any actual application of the weapon system would be on an ACV or Stryker.
  2. Looks to me like they just stuck a big ol' engine in the back.
  3. Another brawl a couple of years ago that took place between the two sides in a similar area comes to my mind now. I bet whatever happened recently started like something similar.
  4. I recall seeing it when it first was shown (I guess this time last year given the tweet date) because the Merkava-esque turret, but it doesn't seem anything has become of it since, so far as I can tell. I have a feeling the tank is/was probably just a mock-up for show. Some other views:
  5. Thai Army Stingrays and M113s during a regimental inspection. Images taken from Thai Army FB page.
  6. I realize that there are a variety of sizes/capabilities with these drone aircraft, but that seems like a lot to be losing in this time frame (going with the 'confirmed' through 'likely' loses.)
  7. Was this all supposed to be part of one (big) water treatment facility?
  8. The former battleship USS Mississippi in the early-mid 50's after her conversion for testing and training on new radar, guns, and (more famously) Terrier missiles. More photos and information can be found in this blog post by wwiiafterwwii.
  9. 'Discovery in New Guinea Rainforest Raises Tantalizing New Questions' Interesting little article on the discovery of poisonous birds.
  10. Object 225, images taken from here. Curiously, there's what looks to be a mortar sticking through the turret roof in front of the machine gun.
  11. "Germany to Order 45 Fighter Jets From Boeing, Report Says"
  12. That's a big piece of ordnance to have a misfire and fly across the airfield.
  13. Are these carrier-capable at all or just land based? I didn't know the Russian navy operated Flankers outside the Su-33.
  14. Tanks of the 5th Canadian Armored Division's 5th Brigade in the Netherlands, May 23, 1945. Photo of the Library and Archives Canada collection.
  15. Ikv 91 appreciation post. Vehicles and crew here are participating in training exercises, 1978. Photos from the Swedish Arsenalen museum archive. Link to a few more. The infantry rider photo is separate from the others in both setting and photo collection
  16. That's a lot of armor for the SAA to be losing.
