Plans are typically given as a series of profiles (in x and y) that get faired into an entire hull, so I think lofting is the way to go

Very good, my mutant 6 isn't as exclusive as it used to be

QuoteIn coming years, the Complex Weapons Programme plans to deliver:
...
- Lightweight Multirole Missile, very short-range air defence capability in the land environment.
- Sea Venom and Martlet (utilising the Lightweight Multirole Missile), Future Heavy and Light Anti-Ship capabilities for Wildcat;
Looks like starstreak replacement is sooner than I thought

Only 5 degrees of protection for the welded leo 1 turret? That's very narrow, M60 and chieftain were +/- 22.5 degrees IIRC

Mix a spice rub with breadcrumbs? Should give the same effect

Construction of diesel-electric submarines B-274 "Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky" project 636.3 "Varshavyanka" for the Pacific Fleet
Huh, I figured they'd assemble the array as a unit then bolt the whole thing to the hull. Wiring up all the hydrophones must be a pain.

I hadn't noticed the casing on the keel before, odd. We should be able to see torpedo tubes from that view as well, I wonder when they're fitted during construction?

For island's you'd be better off with an amphibious IFV, they'll both swim to shore - I'll be amazing if it gets beyond mountain troops

The Argentine navy held a press conference, with ROV pics of the vessel:
Spoiler
The deformation of the crushed pressure hull is visible here. The lines protruding by the torpedo tubes are probably something to do with the outer tube doors.
900 metres down, and right next to where the acoustic anomaly was detected by the CTBTO - she's been hidden right where we thought she was all this time.
RIP

Good point, I hadn't thought of mountains

You'd have to be pretty light for that to be the best you can get - it's possible to air-drop something with actual armour, and wheeled IFVs are a thing now

Good timing, they had just passed the original contracted search time (so probably got to ask for more money)

A ~10kg ATGM is a lot more mobile (and probably cheaper unless you're dealing with dozens of targets), and something like a small recoilless rifle will be cheaper and lighter. It is cute, but I can't see any problem it's particularly good at solving

Why'd they switch the driver and bow gunner?

There's some work looking at self-assembling 3d printed structures (that start off printed as one shape, then transform into the final shape) that's been called 4d. It'd be a pretty neat gun design that made use of it

In my opinion, the proposals to form the export form of the Su-57 and sell these planes (I will quote one of these appeals: "capitalize on foreign markets the costs incurred by this plane") are either an open betrayal or elementary incompetence and short-sightedness. It's working pretty well with F-35, there's bound to be loads of countries willing to pay for Su-57

Bring back the rams!
Kuznetzov managed to beat up a dock, so she'd totally be good for close combat.

Some kind of APS-proof tank destroyer to take out IFV's & bigger tanks from the rear? I'm not sure what it provides that a butt-load of ATGM's (for equal weight as the 40mm & ammo) wouldn't
