    "North Korea Lashes Out at China, Threatens a 'Nuclear Storm' Not sure I've seen the Norks direct aggression at the Chinese before.

    I have several German wartime sources citing this if you would like.

    Hence the trailing off. I simply could not help myself.

    Comments are somewhat amusing

    I don't imagine 'surplus' T-72s would be any improvement on what they have currently either. Perhaps Ukraine can hook them up with some of those T-72s they've regunned with 120mms. You'd get both NATO standard and Russia stronk (not really), but I'm not so sure about timely procurement...

    I see a few websites talking about Iskanders in Syria (2012-2013) delivered with S-300s, but nothing particularly credible. Most are parroting the same stuff anyway. Why might Russia be delivering SRBMs to Syria? I would assume airstrikes would be sufficient enough.

    Should be. Tire spacing and suspension (what you can see) seems right, and the shape and angle of the lower front plate matches well. Whether it's a BTR-70 or 80 though, I cannot tell.

    Seems that way, although I'm not entirely sure what purpose it serves. More pictures of it and a bunch of other things here. A comment about it being dressed like a Maus seems appropriate. I don't believe I have ever seen this before.

    FV432 x Type 97 Chi-Ha x Panzer 38(t) I've seen it before, although the paint job looks a bit newer. Lots of people were, and likely still are, under the assumption that it is a Type 5 Ke-Ho.

    I too have found that talking about and/or quoting Trump around most people in my dorm can be an activity sure to produce entertainment.

    Supposedly it's a Type 62. They did quite the job with vismodding it. Edit: Was looking into the matter a bit more, and I'm not sure about the Type 62 classification. Ya-12 seems like a safer bet, but I'm still not entirely convinced. Whoever built them made a couple at least, along with some Shermans that appear to be using the same base vehicle.

    Here's a nice gallery of some of the Aberdeen collection at Ft. Lee. Didn't expect to see some of the vehicles in there.

    I see it commonly referred to as the Centurion MMRV. It was basically a hodge-podge of parts made to resemble a T-80 and was used for radar and sensor testing. I believe The_Chieftain had something to say about it somewhere on the WoT forums.

    Did some quick poking around. Apparently the US was going to have Grumman upgrade the radar and FCS on J-8IIs for the Chinese in exchange for loadsamoney. The project name for this was "Peace Pearl." Events at Tiananmen Square led to the end any progress on the matter. I imagine the aircraft seen above is one of the few planes that made it to the US for this upgrade. Not sure how it ended up in Topeka though. Link used on Wikipedia Topeka Museum Webpage on F-8II

    Who is this being quoted?
  22. Scolopax
    Which is the source of my slight concern here. But these images are rather early, so I'm not going to worry about anything just yet.

    The Fifth Element is immediately coming to my mind here, not Star Wars. I don't know.
  24. Scolopax
    Mobile as far as viewing it or posting it? Quotes here are screwy for me too.

    That ATGM being used to whack that one guy doesn't seem like the best use for the thing...
