Guys, I am not certain exactly as to where to place this news item, but the actual article is about the plugs that block the top parts of the Minuteman 3 siloes. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2020/09/16/us-enhances-last-line-of-nuclear-missile-silo-defense/#70b81576f568 But...

AI will help solve problems with nuclear fusion or so at least the US Federal government seems to believe. https://www.energy.gov/articles/department-energy-provide-21-million-artificial-intelligence-and-machine-learning-research...

I've been researching flight trials of a doppler-sharpened millimetric radar which took place in early 1990s (possibly 1990-4). I've been informed (by an ex-project member) that: Trial was in connection with a smart "fire-and-forget" UK anti-tank munition. Used a dual-mode...

However what exactly? This is quite old generic in-house TsAGI WT model. It _probably_ has its roots in MiG '602' fighter studies from late 90s.

Not surprising there isn’t a thread for this launcher as it isn’t exactly used that often. The next launch is for the NRO. https://spaceflightnow.com/2020/07/04/top-secret-nro-payload-installed-on-minotaur-rocket-for-launch-from-virginia/

How many countries converted turreted tanks to Armoured Personnel Carriers? We know about the Canadian "Kangaroos" made from de-frocked M7 Priests and Ram tanks during the summer of 1944. Many Rams were also converted to "Wombat" ammo carriers. Post WW2, Sweden converted a Czech 38T light tanks...

A thread to discuss the avionics of the very interesting JAS-39 Gripen. I will post some information from the Aerofax book shortly.

In the immediate post war era there were interest in improving the flying boats and seaplanes and a number of seaplane aerial refueling tankers were proposed, however they were not competitive with carrier and land aviation. In a era where Carriers and airfields are at risk from missile...

Note: I know there already exists a thread about SAAB designations etc but that thread also includes other companies besides SAAB. Link to thread. While i understand why those companies were included i personally think we should have a thread dedicated to each of them separately as they designed...

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/9dEX/djuwzbp4V For some time during last year and earlier this year I was visiting Russian State Library, and had an opportunity to make photos of pages of several military-related magazines from 1950s-2010s stored there, such as Interavia's IDR predecessor - five...
