Israeli military advisors helping Georgians rout Russians in South Ossetia
Seeded on Fri Aug 8, 2008 7:13 AM EDT (debka.com)
A conflict which has brewed for months is now threatening to explode in a region that is hardly in need of more instability.
Chinese take intellectual property theft to a whole new altitude: Russia may sue China over pirated Su-27 fighter
Seeded on Tue Apr 22, 2008 8:25 AM EDT (Business Standard)
Ha ha ha ha ha! Please excuse me whilst I pick myself up off the floor and change my Y-fronts.
FUBAR Central: Pentagon's Project Management blasted by GAO
Seeded on Tue Apr 1, 2008 5:51 AM EDT (The Washington Post)
I often heard conspiracy theories when I was in the US by people involved in the Iron Triangle, focusing on the need not to believe the stories of waste of money by military projects - pretty much the hundreds of billions of dollars 'mismanged' every 5 years or so was going to de …
Not over yet...Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama criticise choice of EADS for $40bn work for USAF
Seeded on Tue Mar 4, 2008 6:03 PM EST (The Times)
Would CLinton or Obama (or McCain for that matter) overturn the Pentagon's choice? They may well try to make it seem as if they would , if there were votes in it.
Why Boeing Lost out to Northrop...
Seeded on Tue Mar 4, 2008 1:49 AM EST (The Washington Post)
The pain...oh dear, the pain of it all... It hurts, but best to look at it and learn. Boeing lost out because it simply did not meet certain criteria was well as EADS and Northrop. Why did this happen? Complacency. Guys, take nothing for granted anymore.
British Soldiers' Norway Nude Rampage...
Seeded on Sat Mar 1, 2008 7:05 PM EST (Aftenposten Nettutgave)
Well, at times things do get a bit out of hand when soldiers let their hair down, but as repulsive as this behaviour was (pretty much gives new meaning to the word 'piss-up') at least no one was hurt, though it is likely some Norwegian girls now know what British girls have had t …
More on the Mystery Space Machines...
Seeded on Mon Feb 11, 2008 4:49 AM EST (Jeff Rense Program)
This is some interesting footage: it ispossible this guy is just capturing the ISS, but even with (or despite of) the atmospheric distortion, it does seem as if these are some other type craft up there, and they do appear to be quite large.
Too Early Again: US Army's New Stryker Faring Poorly in Field
Seeded on Mon Feb 11, 2008 4:39 AM EST (Military.com)
I am just wondering when the US military will understand that Beta testing on your customers may be acceptable in the civilian software industry (it shouldn't be, but even I have gotten used to Vista's constant foibles), but not for soldiers in the field.
What is the American Military For? U.S. Army shifts focus to nation-building
Seeded on Sat Feb 9, 2008 6:37 PM EST (International Herald Tribune)
This is absolute madness. No military force in human history has ever had a role to 'build nations': it is simply to defend the territorial integrity of the nation, or to expand that territory by war.
Defense Dept.'s Weapons Programs Faulted: Money Wasted Again...
Seeded on Sun Feb 3, 2008 9:32 PM EST (The Washington Post)
The GAO is the American taxpayer's unsung hero, keeping a watch over how the America's money is spent...and not it turns its attention to the sloppy practices of US defense contractors.
Israeli soldiers suspended for mooning Palestinians
Seeded on Sun Feb 3, 2008 9:10 PM EST ()
Tasteless and inappropriate behaviour such as this must be discouraged, especially for Israeli soldiers who are already under enough of a spotlight. It is good that the Israeli Army acted quickly to discipline them, but one must wonder how many other incidents go unreported.
Could America win a war with Iran, yet be destroyed economically?
Seeded on Sat Feb 2, 2008 11:41 PM EST ()
The Suez Crisis of 1956 revealed the enormous power of America not in terms of its military, but in its economic might, effectively forcing the British to back down by not supporting the GBP £.
Boeing Pitches Sixth Generation Aircraft Strategy
Seeded on Wed Jan 30, 2008 4:13 PM EST (Wired News)
A generation 4.5 purchase to tide everyone over until the 6th generation comes through? Makes sense in some ways, but that leaves the F-35 in limbo and the F-22 was having a very short lifespan.
A Chinese military base in Iran?
Seeded on Tue Jan 29, 2008 5:16 AM EST ()
It makes sense: Iran wants to annoy the US (so does China)...and China would like to have a friendly presence in an area which will be very important to it over the upcoming years.
Rio Tinto predicts political strife as China's appetite for raw materials grows
Seeded on Sun Jan 27, 2008 11:36 PM EST (The Times)
America will soon have to contend with a Chinese military that wants to increase its control over the sourcing, transport and production of the world's key raw materials.
Boeing and Lockheed Martin Team for Next Generation Bomber Program
Seeded on Fri Jan 25, 2008 6:32 PM EST (CNN)
Maybe not best for the idea of competition bringing out the best in people, but the obscene cost of developing a next generation platform is far beyond the ability of any one company, so a teamwork approach makes sense.
Australian soldier's sex adventure turned to torture in handcuffs, court told
Seeded on Mon Jan 21, 2008 4:16 AM EST (The Sydney Morning Herald)
You always have to be a bit edgy when women ask to tie you up...especially if the relationship is a bit up and down. This poor sod seems to have gotten every guy's worst nightmare as soon as his girlfriend handcuffed him...and I don't mean being forced to drink warm Bud...
Russia launches full-scale production of Su-34 warplane
Seeded on Wed Jan 9, 2008 5:49 PM EST ()
Very much the counter to the F-15E Strike Eagle, the Su-34 Fullback is in reality a much larger and somewhat more capable warplane, closer to the older F-111 in size.
The Darwin Design Award: General Dynamics Steps on a Mine
Seeded on Wed Jan 9, 2008 4:36 PM EST ()
Well, what can I say? An inverted V design to the bottom of the APCs to protect the tyres from damage after a mine goes off...and more than likely wipe out the crew. You really have to wonder if someone is putting crack cocaine in the engineers morning coffee...
Northrop to Compete to Build Humvee Successor
Seeded on Tue Jan 8, 2008 3:59 AM EST (Wall Street Journal)
The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle will be the replacement Hummer and will be asked to fulfill many roles, but prime will still be urban patrols and light transport.
The Nuclear Shame of the West: Experimenting on their Own Servicemen
Seeded on Mon Jan 7, 2008 3:47 AM EST (Telegraph)
The disgrace of the West: to deliberately expose servicemen to nuclear radiation as part of an experiment is obscene enough, but to then deny them and their families compensation for the horrific ailments and eartly death they suffered is indescribable.
Australia wants the US F-22 Raptor for RAAF...and MiGs and Sus may be an alternative?
Seeded on Sun Jan 6, 2008 5:02 PM EST (Australian News Network)
The game is getting interesting: the new ALP government is not keen on the JSF as it feels it may not really offer that edge over the Su-27 derivatives popping up in SE Asia.
Some China firms avoid U.S. technology transfer licenses
Seeded on Wed Jan 2, 2008 3:15 PM EST (International Herald Tribune)
Technology transfer has always been a real issue with China: how likely is it that the technology will end up in some military application? The short answer is...very.
The Secret Space Program: Mystery Space Machines continued...
Seeded on Mon Dec 31, 2007 12:27 AM EST (Jeff Rense Program)
More images of what could be large satellites or unacknowledged manned space stations in low earth orbit.
