  7. RCS? What RCS? Good luck Gen 5 LOL.
  8. Is that the Chinese carrier?
  9. Fire X Some FireScout facts: http://www.northropgrumman.com/performance/pdf/unmanned/Air/fire_scout/FS_VUAS_Data_Sheet_2010.pdf
  10. What was that Russian heli drone called?
  11. Don't be cruel, let him sleep through it. National integration and finances determine military strategy.
  12. That's an interesting take on it. I'm personally of the opinion that banks who give ridiculous loans should be stuffed when the borrower fails. Ultimately I think it's part of a master plan to force the financial integration of the EU into a US-style superstate, where every taxpayer in Europe has to underwrite bad loans. The EU is now, IMO, a failed experiment. It could have worked if it was between nations with similar economic strengths and living costs (e.g. Britain, France and Germany etc.) but by trying to lump everybody together in it, it has failed, and will continue to fail even more diabolically as extra states are added.
  13. It was one of the few decent(ish) movies he made. It was passed off as the USS Missouri in the plot. The Alabama itself never did carry cruise missiles (nuclear tipped ones referenced in plot) and it was only later versions of the 16" guns on the Iowa class that could fire a nuclear projectile: http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_16-50_mk7.htm
  14. Since when was tritonal classed as humanitarian aid?:D And the USS Alabama was used to film Under Seige.
  15. Difficult to think of 'empires' in a 'defensive' context. Whilst aircraft carriers can be used for humanitarian purposes, we'd be kidding ourselves if we said they were procured for that. Hell, a Hind can be used for medevac.
  16. It didn't seem to come down. Sturdy helo.
  17. Exactly LOL. Look at GDP growth for the respective countries. http://www.tradingeconomics.com/china/gdp http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/gdp And the Chinese one takes into account some PPP deduction which looks to be over-cooked at a glance.
  18. Not sure about that. The MR2 was always the dedicated ASW asset. Surely the whole point of a sub is for no one to know it's there, so trawling around after it with an aircraft carrier kind of gives the game away surely.
