Ah yeah I kinda forgot about INS. I think the 1000 pounder is actually the smallest they use too, no? There's FAB1000 and 1500 and those numbers are in kg rather than burger

ContinuityNewTimes posted:How many poods is 500kg?? Well if you use the current rounded value used for weight lifting measurement, it would be 31.25 poods. With the older historical pood, it's 30.52503052503053 pood or about 1221 funt.

Apparently they will be unveiling a 3000 kg version of the glide bomb soon, experts are speculating that it will be roughly twice as devastating as the 1500 kg bomb they are currently using.

They will definitely test it but the aerodynamics of a 3000KG bomb might be too lovely to be practical in a glide deployment.

You'd be surprised. A narrow body airliner weighs ~70 tons, a widebody ~200 tons, and they can often spend most of their descent gliding on a three degree glide path. That's assuming a maximally efficient glide though, which is going to be quite slow relatively speaking (like 450 knots true air speed decelerating to 250ish at sea level due to increasing air density). And glider aircraft are far more efficient still. It really depends on how big a pair of wings you want to put on it.

euphronius posted:those vital elements in the life of Western civilisation which have been the secrets of its strength, and the greatest of its gifts to the world: the sovereignty of a just and rational system of law, liberty of person, of thought, and of speech, and, finally, where the conditions are favourable, the practice of self-government and the growth of that sentiment of common interest which we call the national spirit. These are the features of Western civilisation which have justified its conquest of the world; I’m a conference today, where the winning bid for the Afghan war monument was discussed - it’s going to be a woman in a Niqab. They’re just not sure if it’s gonna be an abstract representation, like a veil hanging over the monument with a horizontal slit exposed letting light in, or more a more literal statue of a woman in a niqab.

If your jet is not fat enough to hang a FAB3000, just hang 2 FAB1500.

Officer Sandvich posted:Is there any background on the thought process here? Excellent question. No, none. I have no idea what anyone involved was thinking. I suggested we just contemporize the South African War Monument, since the visual language is more clear and straight forward.  If we're going to pretend we won, as you say, we may as well actually do it, instead of retroactively saying we went there for women's rights, and then lost.
