Eye-watering calibre


But who built this leviathan and what was its purpose?

I just took delivery of this Cobi T-34 tank. Cobi is a lego brand out of Poland. The tank comes with USSR or Polish insignia.

….. and yet everyone thought you were just playing digital warfare on a games console, just like you are in the Ukrainian “war” threads.

I reckon there is a recommendation somewhere on that box. (Suitable for 6 - 10 years of age). Fits your mentality perfectly.

Thank you to our good friend Socal for bangin up this mesmerisingly informative toob about the mighty mustang.

This inspired me to finish polishing the knobs on my 3rd and final big scale P-51

This P-51C example (MkIII in RAF patois) illustrates the organic evolution from the early MP-51B ridge-back with multi-panel access to the cockpit as exemplified by Capt. Dominic Gentile's crate on the right to the pure bubble top of the classic late model P-51D to the rear.

Gets interesting from the 2.40 min mark

It started from

^ Slightly off-topic, but was persuaded to go and watch the new Top Gun in the cinema last night . . . surprisingly good, excellent effects and almost no USA-Rah-Rah, the opposite actually.

Definitely worth seeing on the big screen for full effect.

You can use google to search and filter for teak door.com results only.

Not perfect, but it works (sometimes).

Nice, thank you.

Maybe there are. Lots of stuff going on that we do not know about. 40 billion is a lot of aid and most of it has not been disclosed, and the reason is Ukraine does not want it disclosed for obvious reasons.

A new German tank has been unveiled by Germanys military industrial complex. How convenient the war is for the complex. At least Germany will buy in house and won't buy gas guzzling Abrams.

I think this tank is kinda ugly. Most modern tanks look very good but the proportions on this thing are meh

While I was sitting in my rock-pool today 3 F-35As went screaming past at about 200m above sea-level and 500m off the coast.

Awesomeness abounds!

Never had I ever seen an F-35 in the flesh before. Too fast to grab my camera.

They must have flown up from my old stomping ground RAAF Base Williamtown where a new delivery was stationed in March.

It gives me a warm tingly feeling in my tummy to see the defenders of delicious western democracy streaking across the sky.

^ Yes, amazing beasts they are.

Loved the flyover, the sound @ the 2.40 min mark above

Heavy artillery finally making its way to the front

The Seppos get all horney about their gas turbine Abrams. Yes. It's fast. But it has drawbacks.

Anyway Russia has its own gas turbine version too. T-80.

It does 80 km/h

It is a pile of shit, and the Ukrainians have been blowing the shit out of them. The M1 Abrams is on another level. Ukrainians are blowing up the handful of T-90's too...

^ How is the video a fake? There were several reports describing a SAM misfire and return to strike the ground close to firing position. It isn't a cruise missile.

WRT Russian cruise missiles, they have used an estimated 2000 from a stockpile of around 6000. However, these are only estimates.

Bullshit.

You need to stop doing hit and runs on these threads, post links to validate your comments. Russia has no stockpile of cruise missiles.

They were dumb enough to put auto loaders in the turret. Makes for some great turret popping war porn. Good Roman candles too.
