    RORO shipping help for new FV-432

    Start-up instructions for a Ferret are less complex than a 432, Stalwart or Saladin, and we have had all moved via RORO using such. These people move all kinds of equipment everyday. They know what they are doing. But I would never move anything without a CONEX unless I had to. A Ferret in a...

    5th. Generation Fighter Planes.....

    You guys have launched into an apples and oranges debate. The F-22 and F-35 are awesome aircraft, but first and foremost, there will never be ENOUGH of them. Second, where is the CAS/A-10 replacement? It does not exist. We are losing that capability, just as we have lost an effective CSAR...

    British Vehicle mechanic

    Yes, the FV432 was originally and officially called the "Trojan". But who wants armor named for a condom, hence 432 became standard. I was asked many times why the "432" is the only Brit armor that uses a number...and that's the reason.

    JB Weld in High Temps. What's your opinions?

    As stated already, fix it properly with replacement pats. But regarding JB Weld, in a hot but non-flex location, it it awesome. I used it on a truck engine's cracked head 16 years ago. Still holding.

    The Military is starting to scare me...

    Society has been dumbed down to the point, as a nation, we are in serious trouble. While many of us grew up fooling around with go karts, mini bikes, cars, etc., the current generation doesn't even ride bicycles. School sports and video games is all they know. No independent learning skills and...

    25 years old is the rule, but Bombardiers have been in the States for many years. A friend had one in 06. There's a will, there's a way.

    Dragoon 300 Purchase

    These were never used by the DOD so there can't be any surplus issues.

    HMMWV Honeycomb Wheels/Tires...

    You would not want such a wheel for off-road use for several big reasons. 1. you can't adjust and vary the pressure to control your footprint. 2. There is no sidewall traction for rocks and ruts. 3. Imagine the weight of those clogged up with mud...

    British Vehicle mechanic

    Indeed, this is true. But it is all within the realm. After 16 British armor vehicles, I learned the manuals are quite good and with a few good contacts on line, most everything can be tackled. Just be aware of- look up previous postings- the nightmare of the Saracen/Saladin/Stalwart...
