Dusters and quad-50s giving hell to a guy who kept showing up in the night and popping off a handful of AK rounds into a US base, then running off. They aren't sure they killed him, but found blood the next morning, and he never came back.

iyaayas01 posted:"without major repercussions" in the real world...yes. But busting threshold values means an APB breach, and that means bigwig PEOs have to go explain why they screwed up. So I am confident that they will be formally declaring IOC before the end of the year, even if the aircraft itself wouldn't be deployed in combat until well after 3F is fielded a couple years down the road. Missing milestones, budgets, and timetables have happened so often in this program the PEOs probably have reserved seats in the front row. But you're definitely right that it will be a non-factor for deployments either way...even if actually met IOC standards when they declare IOC, it wouldn't deploy yet. Edit:

But you're definitely right that it will be a non-factor for deployments either way...even if actually met IOC standards when they declare IOC, it wouldn't deploy yet. True, but they haven't had a breach yet on the revised 2012 APB (except for a relatively minor RDT&E one on the engine in the first year that was due to an accounting error). Formally busting threshold value for schedule on the "new" APB would be a fairly significant deal I think because it would be a major black eye for the program since the 2012 APB is supposed to be the "no seriously guys, we've worked out the kinks and everything is on schedule now, no fakesies" baseline. Even if there's no way the system is ready to deploy yet (i.e., USMC last year), it's a lot easier to hand-wave away the bad press in that scenario than it is if you are staring at a black and white APB schedule breach.

Godholio posted:Ah, I didn't realize there was a new roadmap. That makes sense. lol under the original plan in 2001 they were supposed to have declared IOC for all three variants like by 2010 and be in FRP by 2012, under the first formally approved APB in 2007 they were supposed to declare IOC in 2012 and be in FRP by 2015. So yeah, saying they've rebaselined is putting it mildly.

Smart EFP cluster bomb? It's not doing the fwoosh spin rocket thing BLU-108 does, and they are going off pretty high, what the gently caress is that?

I thought those had a parachute delayed stage before they launched the skeet things out? Also are there vehicles in the area? I didn't see any in the video but they could be behind the wall.

Probably SPBE cluster bombs, they're devices that are dropped on parachutes which fire rockets out of them, something Russia introduced to the conflict when they started bombing https://www.hrw.org/news/2015/10/10/syria-new-russian-made-cluster-munition-reported
