Hi.
For some whatever reason, a timely article was pu(bli)shed by Sputnik, a Russian media, dealing with an "old" concept of non-nuclear space-based, orbiting kinetic space-to-ground weapon, sometimes described as "Rods from God"...
In the late 1980s, research started on the new next-generation tank gun. It was quickly determined that it needed to be 140mm calibre. Initially it was to fire the same projectiles as the 120mm gun but at a higher velocity from a similar smoothbore barrel.
My question - what was the British...

When and where such devices were used in the post WWII French armed forces ?
From what I've found, most of the early ones used the activ system, so needing an
IR light source. But the German Luftwaffe had used...

I'm planning to share information on a bunch of unknown SDV/midget submarine/DPV/Canoes etc via my blog (http://www.hisutton.com/) and thought i should also post here for the community. Rather than start fresh threads each time I'll just update this one. And I hope it can also be a general...
Hello, I am air-enthusiast from Russia. Sorry for my bad English!
Probably B-52 is the best strategic aircraft of the XX century. I especially interested in B-52 early variants and I have questions about the oldest "Buff"`s avionics.
All the books I had read (Boyne, Davis & Tornborough...

This is an unusual project, especially in light of known JMSDF doctrine. It was apparently conceived around the mid-'90s or there abouts by the JMSDF and the old JDA as a lower cost alternative to the procurement of futher units of the Kongō class (what would eventually become the Atago class)...

There have been occaisions in the past when, due to budgetary and/or political changes the British Royal Navy have had to re-appraise plans.
What I am looking for in particular...
