The space shuttle touch the tires display at the CA Science Museum is a "blink and you miss it" thing.

I didn't believe it either but an almost identical message is on their website. https://www.33fw.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/2192246/33rd-fighter-wing-f-35a-crash-at-eglin/ quote:EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. --

It's being formally abandoned, before there was a threat to abandon it.

At the risk of introducing politics into this, can anyone identify these vehicles? https://twitter.com/GAFollowers/status/1269033957963837442 I'd guess the wheeled vehicle is one of the Iraq war patrol vehicles, but I can't place the treaded vehicle.

The Lone Badger posted:Is the "hull is cracking to pieces" the same as the "hull disintegrates in salt-water" thing, or is this a completely seperate problem? This is a problem where there are cracks where the deck meets the hull so now the Indepdence class ships are limited to traveling 15 knots.

And the parts of the LCS that are cracking are above the waterline anyways.https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/the-navys-independence-class-littoral-combat-ships-are-cracking posted:the cracking may have been caused by “under-designed structural defects” at ship frames 36 and 45, although this remains unconfirmed by the Navy.

I think the next oldest active duty naval vessel, and the oldest active warship, was launched in 1936. A Brazilian river patrol boat.

I have a soft spot in my heart for the American Medical Bureau from the Spanish Civil War but have no desire to spend $80 to $150 to buy books to learn more about it.

This is being touted as a sixth generation bomber but I'm not seeing anything on Google about bomber generations. Does anyone have any leads for what those bomber generations mean?

Handen posted:There is no "sixth generation" that is specific to bombers, it's an overarching classification system for fighter jet aircraft that has sort of been adopted as a catch-all for the sake of military industrial complex dickwaving. Sliding the word "bomber" after "sixth generation" is kind of misleading. I saw that; the marketing material in the news made it sound like it was a term in active use for bombers as well as fighters.But that raises a lot of questions. How do bomber generations scale to fighter generations? Where do turboprops fall into it? Do attack aircraft count as light bombers? I'm sad that it's just marketing bullshit and not some obscure thing I could dive into.

I knew I didn't have enough knowledge about what was going down, military tactics, or strategy. So I took a stance of Ukraine needing to hold on. Each hour it didn't fall was another hour for the nation to stabilize the lines, each day it survived was another day it could regroup. The longer they survived the better the odds of maybe even launching counterattacks.

The Russian Victory Parade featured several ballistic missile trucks, some APCs, and a single T-34 https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/1655843168225488899 And a fuckton of teenagers in poorly fitting uniforms, marching, driving the vehicles, and manning the turrets. Which is very scary and depressing.
