Looks like the figure includes R&D also, not just the hardware.

Our JTACs out there kicking ass all day everyday. Impressive all around

Any follow up on this assclown?

Rumor has it AC's have to have leashes on their crews at deployed locations. At least they're the retractable type leashes, and they connect to a body harness thing so thats good.

This story will turn into an amazing book in like 6-9 years

Interesting article, they really should brief sh!t like this to new airman etc. I don't think they realize that their tweets and Facebook are easily mined for info. Anyone that thinks that a foreign intel service doesn't realize this potential is stupid.

Just have the big blue air force do the Academy PFT and watch the fatties get the boot

Great speech, can't believe i just watched the whole thing but it keeps you hooked.

too much plastic in that shirt for my taste

who knows, they're either 1) still experiencing problems or 2) pilots are hyper-sensitive to it (i know i would be) and that weird feeling that you wouldn't think twice about becomes "oh shit, am i getting hypoxic?" Not trying to talk trash, just a thought

Its likely the highest of the high-ups weren't privy to the plot. But Iranian gov't agencies appear pretty implicitly involved. The gov't leaders of Iran, just as in any country, are still held responsible/accountable when elements in their government are doing stupid sh!t involving other countries/assassinations/etc

Just remember where the information is coming from, not saying he's wrong, just one person. Also, wtf are the marines going to do with essentially a -15C?

Still developing but looks like some Iranian agents were working up a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the US on American soil. https://news.blogs.cn...iran/?hpt=hp_t2

OMG. NO WAY, you should like totally twitter this, this is soooo unfair. ...lose the entitlement

"Del Rio is a sh!thole."(Paraphrased)

Agreed, you cant expect the protections/rights of a citizen if you don't want to be one and are engaged in open conflict with a country who only still considers you a citizen because you didn't officially revoke it.

Bagged another one: https://www.cnn.com/2011/10/01/world/asia/afghanistan-haqqani-capture/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 You think they'd realize we're getting really good at doing this by now. Do work son.

Oh wow, would their mission be picked up by contracted dudes? Curious if they rumors are from reliable sources. Cannon got its mission reassigned following BRAC so it'd be kind of weird to see them getting missions/ac's pulled away from the base.

why is this goofy? This dude is a BAMF, check yourself.

Buy netflix, now. I am

never

Geez, DM, airshows, this...

bummer

That armor helps negate the AP and concussive properties of projectiles by having the detonation occur not right on the surface of the armor. Still, all the super fast and lethal shrapnel peppers the armor. For example, you slap the fence on a -60 even though say an RPG detonates farther away, all that shrapnel is still going to "hot knife through butter" the un-armored sides of the helo. Still going to wreck shop on engines, personnel etc. Doubt the cost benefit is there.
