I would vote for that!!!! :goodjob:

Yep - impressive specs! But here is what I think about, they are much more expensive than a CH-53 too. Based on my memory twice the cost and they cannot lift as much. I'd have to recheck that to be sure. Program cost = $35.6 billion after planned procurement of 408 aircraft Unit cost = MV-22...

Yes - they seem a bit awkward looking too me. Not really a fan of them myself, but they are quite capable aircraft. Are they really worth the money they cost to develop and purchase? Not in my opinion..... :roll:

I'd agree with that! Some describe Russian aircraft like MiGs as being not fancy at all and maybe a bit crude in some places but certainly fast. They then say most Western designs are built very nice inside and out. Every area is finished to perfection - even if you never see it or it does not...

Yep - truly impressive for such a huge task. Guess what Stalin wanted....Stalin got! I have read before that the Germans took some captured early T-34s back to Germany. They were so impressed with it's performance that they even considered building a copy. They encountered problems in...

Larry Vickers talkin' Russian main battle tanks. He always does a good job on his videos (in my opinion), so I hope you enjoy this. Just a quick history of Russian tanks. Kubinka Tank Museum - Russian Tanks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBk08eA_X4Q

A-10 cockpit footage from a joint services combat search and rescue training mission between Davis-Monthan AFB's 354th Fighter Wing and the Arizona Army National Guard. Video by Senior Airman Austin Willhoit | 355th Fighter Wing / Published on Jun 6, 2015...

Funny you mentioned that, as I had wondered who this "Ruptly" is anyway. Based on my limited searching - they are a news agency from Berlin Germany. I am assuming (which is risky) that they get the videos from someone (ground crew in this case?) and then post them as "news". There are...

This video is supposed to be Russian aircraft taking off and landing from their airbase in Syria, while conducting combat operations there. I cannot verify that, but I am posting it because it is a good quality video that shows Su-24, Su-34, Su-30, Su-25. If you choose to watch fullscreen on...

Sure that is true... Just the same for the Oshkosh win in the JLTV award. Possible protests could lead to even reopening the process and starting over. Army may buy the design package and then put it out for production bids. Who knows what will replace the Humvees. It's is like a soap...

You are welcome Sir! Or for those that speak Russian... Вы можете Сэр !

If memory serves me right 21 were built with one aircraft being lost in a crash, so yes 20 are left.

​Today it was announced that Northrop Grumman won the Long Range Strike Bomber (LRSB), which will replace the remaining B-1Bs and the B-52Hs. WASHINGTON – Northrop Grumman has won the contract to build the US Air Force’s next-generation Long Range Strike Bomber (LRS-B), an industry-shaping...
