This one looks like the footage from the 700kt A-bomb the Brits were hoping would exceed a megaton in order to dupe the public that they already had the H-bomb, when they hadn't. They were scrambling to produce enough tritium, but in their haste, they hosed up their nuclear facility at Windscale. Speaking of Windscale, this is the hilarious setup of that plant.  "That's right. Let's just ramrod fuel elements in aluminum-finned casings through a giant air-cooled graphite core and have them drop into a little water basin on the other side? No, we don't need air filters for the giant chimney. What? Some douchebag is making us install huge filters anyway? Let's call the filters something that mocks his name then, boy will he feel stupid when the graphite core never catches fire. We need to convert fuel quicker? gently caress it, let's just make the casing of the fuel elements thinner so they get hotter, what could possibly go wrong. What's that? Elements got stuck and caught fire? Turn up the fan, we'll just blow the fire out. Okay, so turning up the fan made the fire spread, let's douse it in water, blazing uranium/aluminium really likes water." Duzzy Funlop fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Aug 15, 2016 |

The best thing about that documentary is the nonchalant way the Brits are talking about their one-on-one with a no-poo poo-molten-down graphite reactor with burning fuel elements. "Bit of a blaze, covering looked a wee bit dodgy."

Maimgara posted:Its labeled as "IS T-55 VBIED", does that mean Daesh have graduated to suicide tanks? I'm having some trouble wrapping my head around no-poo poo tanks being efficient vessels for VBIEDs. When their ammo cooks off, that's a spectacular boom, but it blows the turret and the hatches off, doesn't it? Not sure you could get enough high-quality, non-ghetto explosives into a T-55 to make an explosion go in a direction other than where the shape of the hull dictates it to go...?

If you haven't heard the story of the Widerstandsnest 62, and its infamous Butcher of Normandy, there's a German documentary about it, pretty sure it's either dubbed or has subtitles. The documentary highlights how Severloh (probably) injured an American on the beach, and they became pen-pals after the war, and eventually met on the beaches below the Widerstandsnest and memorial obelisk during the big 60 year anniversary of the landing. poo poo was pretty intense.

I get that it's funny to gently caress with people, but doing that as an instructor during training is supremely dumb. We have pretty severe rules against that due to the whole crying-wolf-desensitizing mechanic.

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:Did instructors do any of that poo poo to y'all in training? Nah, the poo poo instructors do in glorious Deutschland is leagues more inane and dumb. One of our outgoing E-6s that liked me once hid a DM22, which is basically a giant loving blank grenade for training purposes, under my pillow as a parting gift. He did not understand the concept of me not wanting to unknowingly sleep on live munitions, nor having controlled items in my possession. In hindsight, I should have just sold that poo poo or hosed with someone else.

Missionary Positron posted:Most of the Russian vehicles/armor have been axed/are in the process of being axed. The only yuge outlier is the fleet of BMP-2s, which was modernized and operates alongside CV9030s. Russian SPGs are also being replaced with Korean K-9s. I like that the system has this automated ammo-buddy system on the same chassis, with a totally non-phallic resupplying process. That reminds me to check out some of those South Korean masturbatory mass-howitzer barrage videos.
