In the Eighties there was an infamous spate of submarine incidents in Swedish waters, apparently involving mini submarines penetrating close to shore (and even inside harbour areas). From the reports at least some of these would appear to have been fitted with Caterpillar/Tank style Tracks...

I’m looking for any copies of a picture of a self propelled RBS 70 turret developed in Sweden in the 1980s. It was marketed widely but with no takes and I can’t find any pictures of it around the place now. This was a fully armoured turret with all the RBS 70 guidance equipment inside and a...
This is apparently a video of the HVM, a missile considered for the A-10 as an anti-tank weapon back in the 80s.

Well I don't have much information on this vehicle which is exactly why I am asking about it. All I have is some information from an old 1980s AFV guide. It was an IFV similar in appearance to the German Marder with a low profile turret carrying a 20mm autocannon. There were two MG turrets in...
Evening all
As of today I am on leave for 3-weeks
My greatest desire has been to unpack some of the many books I have had in storage, whilst being posted here and there.
Whilst I was flicking through a mag I came across a past project that always impressed me as a kid.
Its the Oerlikon GDF-DO3...

The IKL/HDW T.2000 was rated the highest on the initial tender submission but it would be wrong to say it was more developed than the winning Kockums T.471. For example the T.2000 would have needed more modification to carry the US technology Rockwell combat system than the T.471. The T.471 also...
It appears that the "Type 2000" submarine was first proposed to the USN during the Ford Administration when there was a degree of interest in conventionally powered patrol subs for the mid-Atlantic ASW mission. Nearly a decade later, the design was offered to Australia, where it was apparently...
About 1980, there was a considerable number of design studies into ships that combined the role of replenishment and helicopter carrier in different proportions to create a "cheap" carrier. The simplest variants had a box hanger forward and a big deck with three landing spots aft. This...
The Sea-based Anti-Ballastic Missile Intercept System (SABMIS) program, sometimes referred to as Seabourne Anti-Ballistic Missile Intercept System, was a US Navy program to develop a seabourne ICBM defense. Contracts to study the concept were awarded in 1967 to Hughes Aircraft Company, Lockheed...
