Left hand side road wheels displaced / blown off. Left hand side de-tracked. Turret displaced with burning occurring around the turret ring - seemingly internally. Large amounts of black smoke coming from forward left hand side between driver position / ammo storage and track area. Engine not burnin...

Quick question(s) if I may - something I've been thinking over, but its got to the point where I actually need to know now ! I understand that Ares is designated as an APC and Warrior an IFV. Firstly what is the largest caliber RWS that could operate on an Ares in theory ? And secondly with that ca...

Ares has room for more seats if the equipment racks are moved out no ?

Purchasing Boxer would be so stupid that it isn't even funny. Most expensive candidate; fewer variants already fielded and thus ready to be replicated; it implies lining with money the pockets of the nation that is currently your biggest enemy due to Brexit; and to add insult to injury, after the U...

I think you're potentially reading a bit too literally there. Because the way it's worded could equally mean a modified T26 design not necessarily a brand new from the keel up design. Lot's of confusion really from all this. There seems to be a lot of ' analysts ' running around saying that despite...

I'm not entirely convinced the real version is much better in real world terms. Much upgrading was needed after Iraq when far too many US vers...

After reading about the latest USS GRF issues and a call from the Pentagon to bring ' Shock Testing ' forward - http://gcaptain.com/u-s-navy-ordered-to-shock-test-worlds-costliest-ship/#.VcpkqflVhBe - I wondered what the UK equivalent might be and when it would be scheduled for the QE. I assumed it ...

Is there possibly some belief that an asw version frigate is too noisy at high speed to be effective and as long as its the same speed as the carrier that's enough ,then possibly the g.p version would not need the acoustic propeller's and be fitted with a high speed one I hope not. All variants wil...

One of my favorite military images.

It's understandably hard to find anything on the Astute class's performance in real world conditions.

There have been a couple of soundbites from exercises, all positive, but I would be really interested if anyone could post or point to further examples of just how these boats fair.
