Definately not 1:1 scale either!

Hopefully we will re Reforger style exercises in the not too distant future but probably on a much smaller scale. Whereas in the past it could be up to Brigade size simulating the moving of a Division, we will probably see a Regiment/Battalion sized formation simulating a Brigade. Probably just a T...

Of course they are entitled to build on their own territory, but doing so when things are a little warm shall we say isn't being diplomatic, but rather the opposite, basically what we have come to accept from Russia and China. In the meantime, NATO has expanded eastward, including former Soviet ter...

“It's fair to say that Phalanx hasn't had too much of an opportunity to engage real targets in its service life. It's reputation in its early days wasn't great for reliability. Successive improvements have addressed that, but at the same time the threat has improved as well to the point at which gun...

The 2nd aircraft is due for delivery in January 2020.

The Albion class are labour intensive warships, I doubt they’d appeal to a small neutral nation..?

Being neutral, Scotland wouldn’t reinforce anyone.

I could see them receiving some of the GP T23’s, though.

Faslane would become a Sovereign Base Area.

Poseidon MRA.1 - 01

You’re right Mr Fred, clothing wasn’t a factor of the cause. Clothing exists that can mitigate against the burns received by the crew. Not sure by how much after 5-8 seconds trapped inside of a propellant inferno? Clearly not as urgent as the training and safety standards requiring suitable revisions.

Aircrew receive flame retardant clothing for their role.

Hopefully armour crews will now get the same or similar.

NOMEX is also available in black (in case the RTR are reading...)
