Nh90's subtle replacement would be likely...

The reason the is of great interest to me is that the winner of this competition could well become the next standard NATO round replacing the existing 5.56mm as well as 7.62mm. The US Army has stated it is going to announce the winner of the competition at the end of January 2022, but that might be...

I think $35000ph is to much Wonder how much the USMC UH-1Y Venom is per flight hour First reply from a quick Google search (other search engines are available :D ) The cost to fly these two aircraft is thousands of dollars an hour. On average, the MV-22 costs $14,000 and the UH-1Y costs $7,000 to f...

A400m must be a contender...

Still don't get how covers on is possible... The amount of people that would have to have failed to do their jobs for that to happen...

Why would cross decking not be possible?

Surely BAe still has the drawings for the Vulcan

Probably just lazy journalists coping someone else's homework...

Airbus is going to kick-off about this big time

Can F35B also use catapult to fly? Even if it is not much powerful = optimized for smallish/slowish UAV, it will contribute in increasing the lift-off weight and reducing the fuel lost in launch? If so, a small (less powerful) catapult "curved along the sky jump", will provide good for BO...

Grot MSBS... The results of the tests were staggering. According to Moszner the gun overheated, parts such as the polymer stock and lower receiver tended to break, the rifle suffered from numerous malfunctions and the gas regulator in front of the Grot simply fell out.
