Do you guys know any other never-weres or proposed warships for the Argentinian Navy? I know only these so far: TR-1400 class Submarines from the 1980's San Luis class Destroyers of 1910 (British built, finished as Aetos class for Greece) Mendoza class Destroyers of 1910 (Finished as...

From L+K 1/1969, here is a single seat low-wing light aircraft Project,designed by Mr. Vlada Verner from Czech (as I think) and it was called W-1,it was mentioned in JAWA 1972/1973,but I am not sure if it was a Project or not.

I am too lazy to start a new thread but here are some phonecaptures from youtub of the Royal Navy in the 1997 Bond Film "Tomorrow Never Dies". First up is HMS Chester. Using her Harpoon launcher to fire a Cruise Missile at some bad guys Next we have HMS Devonshire, which gets sunk by the bad...

Okay, noticed the TR-3 thread was bumped again, and I was gonna make this a post there, but as it concerns a bit of a broader spectrum than just the (probably fictional) TR-3, I may as well make a thread out of it. I've been doing some thinking on the whole concept of the F-117 Companion and its...

I found this in a 1990s 'Yellow Peril (Japan)' techno-thriller called 'The War in 2020' (1991), the book ends with a note indicating that the writing of it was finished in April of 1990. It features this tank which I am guessing was based on the reports of these tanks in the west. Here are the...

Hello everyone. I am new to the forum and I want to ask if my fellow members would be willing to post any documents, diagrams, concept art, etc. they may possess describing proposed configurations of the ISS when it was called "Space Station Alpha" back in 1993-4. I am seeking material depicting...

Meant to post on this last week. According to the ever reliable Micael over at HP&CA, Sweden is looking very favourably at having a version of the Leclerc as their next MBT. No word on whether it would incorporate any elements from the (badly lagging thanks to President Macron) SCORPION program...

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"...

The names of the ships from trade involved in the Falklands operation are well documented. However, as someone interested in merchant ships I was wondering if a) anyone has records of STUFT in operations post WW2 from Korea through Suez to the Gulf Wars b) the Falklands STUFT seemed to be well...

Hi folks, Couldn't find a thread dedicated to this one so though I would start one. To begin with, I note on wikipedia (yeah I know...) it is mentioned that "In 2001, it was reported that development of a new "stealth" variant with more power engines and improved fire-control system would...
