No expert here either, but I'll try: It seems to be the progression of their previous camo designs and what other nations have been doing. The older paints were just a light gray or a light blue, while newer Russian air defense aircraft have blended light and darker grays and added white...

No expert on this, but yes it is very common in these large cannons. Most modern MBTs use a smooth-bore main gun. Tanks like the Abrams, Leopard 1 & 2, T-72/90, Leclerc...use a smooth-bore, while the British Challenger 1 & 2 use rifled cannons. Smooth-bore cannons can fire many types of ammo...

MiG-31s are always interesting too....I saw these a few weeks ago, In the close up shots on the ground - notice the mirror that is sticking up over the back canopy. It's used for the RIO in the back seat to see ahead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRhgxCaPakQ...

Sukhoi PAK FA T-50 at MAKS airshow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKj-gX7Q2X8

The T-14 weighs around 50 tons and has a 1,500-horsepower engine. The tank’s three-man crew operates the vehicle and its weapons from a capsule in the front. It doesn’t lack for protection — packing both composite and reactive armor. The Russian army wants to build around 2,300 T-14s by 2020...

Here are two videos I have watched on the new Armata T-14 tanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yJinijvv9c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8Tv1NEHaj4 Based on what I have been reading, it's a whole new family of vehicles. The T-14 isn't based on the old T-72 / 90 as was once thought -...

The Russians certainly tried to take advantage of the benefits of swing-wing aircraft during the 1960-70s. The MiG-23, MiG-27, Su-17 and Su-24 are all swing-wing designs that are still in service around the world today. Don't forget the F-14, plus the European Panavia Tornado use it as well.

There is no doubt that they have taken the best features & concepts of what is out there and integrate them into their own designs and ideas. Nothing wrong with that! I can list at least two more quick examples: look at a B-1B and the TU-160 and then MiG-25 and the North American A-5 Vigilante...

Yes it is...you can see it better in this photo of the Sukhoi Su-27 landing. It is very similar layout to the F-15 Eagle.

This should help explain their versions..... Don't forget they have requested F-16 C/Ds also. M1 Abrams Tanks for Iraq Jul 16, 2014 16:09 UTC by Defense Industry Daily staff July 16/14: Support. General Dynamics Land Systems in Sterling Heights, MI receives a $65.3 million contract...

​I have been concerned about this for years - our best equipment falling into the hands of our enemies. I guess next we'll have to try and destroy these tanks. From the "Defense Update" web site.... A video recently aired on YouTube shows an alarming situation happening in Iraq, where heavy...

These aren't old - I have posted some pictures here of MVs from the 1950s!!!!

Here are a few more - sorry no more of the Deuce.

Oh BTW....these were scanned, so the color is off some. The Deuce is really more of a true OD than it appears in these photos.

Just thought I'd share a few old pictures. I took some pics at an airshow at Peachtree Dekalb airport near Atlanta in September 1993. Found them again when cleaning out & reorganizing some old stuff. Anyway - hope you enjoy the ones of a Deuce. Is this truck still around? Does anyone recognize...

I'm concerned that a few could be "inspected" by Iranian forces or used against us later on. That area is so volatile - who knows how things will be in 5, 10 or 20 years. Perhaps as mentioned above, the tanks won't be 100% operational for long, so it may not matter that much! I don't wanna...

I figured the title process would be similar to all of the homebulit AC Cobra or similiar "kit cars" that are already sold now. Regardless of size or style - it seems these kits might fall under the same guidleines.2cents
