Considering how hard it is to land one of those normally, the pilot must be making GBS threads bricks while doing that.

I'm not going to touch the soul. I'm just going to put it in a spaceship/tank/submarine/giant robot hulk.

Apparently the carrier trials were part of Project Whale Tail.

Things used to have great names. Old Air Force was the best Air Force.

Bonus points for spotting the USS Arkansas standing on it's tail in the water column. 171 meter 27000 tonne battleship standing straight up.

The battle of Tikrit looks like Mad Max, how can a Humvee even take the weight of all that poo poo hanging off it. Surely an RPG would just blow a hole through all that hillbilly armour

Yeah I've seen old canadian ones, though I think most are uparmoured and "modernized" by now I think (I saw them in 2011? I think)

That picture is from 1991 or earlier, so definitely 1s (they've got the monogram of king Olav the fifth on their berets and he died during gulf war 1)

I thought Australia still had them. I just learnt from wiki that we replaced them in 2007 with abrams.
Strange we didn't keep the leopards. Anyone know if they just scrapped them, or sold them (and who too)?

I saw one get blown the gently caress up with a javelin, so maybe that?
