Big city and government agency SWAT teams had(have?) high standards, but now every podunk town and sheriff's department has a team, financed by that sweet, sweet DHS money. Pic Unrelated:

Question: Why don't they issue emergency parachutes to aircrew anymore? Every WWII photo shows aircrew walking around carrying an emergency chute either in their hand or hanging behind their rear end, why was this practice stopped?

Vincent Van Goatse posted:Whether or not the M113 is a good vehicle has nothing at all to do with the fact that Mike Sparks is a loving whackjob. He's also seriously, schizophrenically obsessed with the M113 and has been waging a campaign on the internet to make people call it the Gavin. Hahaha. Oh wow. That page has a little plastic model of a JSF with underwing pods that carry people. And it isn't even close to the craziest thing on the page.

Looks like a Ruger MKII or other .22 LR pistol. I assume it is for killing dogs or other animals.

Thanks for the serious answer. I have never seen or heard of that show. Makes sense it was in the 90s though. People really went apeshit back then over the whole meninblack government conspiracy thing.

They are also Russian export model tanks. Which makes them twice the deathtrap.

I ain't no Brown Moses, but the T-72 there has what looks like a bunch of bricks on the turret, but not enough on the body to be at T-72B. Syria is listed as having bought 1600 of the base model, and probably bought reactive armor upgrade kits from whomever was willing to sell. Regardless, they were monkey models. The Russians didn't give out bleeding edge stuff, even to their closest allies. EDIT: Hurrr. Should have just checked wikipedia. It lits the Syrian army using the T72-M1M. Which is an upgraded export model. Still a deathtrap. MRC48B fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Aug 28, 2013 |

I can't even tell that's a head. I suppose though he was standing where you weren't supposed to when that jet came in to land/takeoff.

You should have posted the previous paragraph from that wikipedia page:quote:A note from the pilot's handbook reads: "If the engine quits in instrument conditions or at night, the pilot should pull the control column full aft and keep the wings level. The leading-edge slats will snap out at about 64 km/h (40 mph), and when the airplane slows to a forward speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph), the airplane will sink at about a parachute descent rate until the aircraft hits the ground."

That thing is the machine of nightmares. A nuclear powered, nuclear bomb dropping cruise missile. You think ICBM/ABM political balance are bad, think how hosed stability would get if someone deployed something like that. It would have been the first combat drone. Only it carried the (at the time) equivalent of an entire SSBN in nuclear warheads. Burning nuclear-powered laps in the sky until someone gave it the go order.

The X-32 was even worse for the STOVL/VTOL idea than the 35, but looks way cooler. Kinda wish it had won.

So is this the first time CAG/Delta operations have been caught on video? There's a bunch of photos floating around from memoirs, the guys in hockey helmets w/ the 101st besieging Uday and Qusay, and I think one from Gothic Serpent. This is the first video. Not that you can really see much.

There were 32 built, not including the 3 prototype YF-12s, and the CIA A-12s. Cold war black reconnaissance budgets make it rain.
