he will become docile after that,

Operation: Upshot-knothole

Only test of an artillery fired nuclear weapon in history (though a measly 15kt)

AA artillery (AAA just shot huge flak shells up, pomp opms etc, were very speedy in contrast) wasnt so light an nimble in WW2 (theres nothing to suggest that the thing cant be aimed and fired quickly though) where that weapon looks like it has originated, again if you look at the sight it just screams AAA.

Incidentially, the prize goes to the guy who said an AA gun.


You are not God, but you are efficient. :D

And I still disagree - to a point. That's not an "anti-aircraft gun" per-se. Those are usually considered to be what Cuba Gooding Jr. manned in Pearl Harbor (that cook). Small and agile, with a high rate of fire. This one's more like a flak cannon.

Sorry for the bump, but I found out an answer to this question. I went to the Tank Museum on Saturday, and they had a 20 video, during which you see the Merkava doing this exact jump. It wasn't moving that fast, not for car speeds. Maybe about 35-40Mph? :D

Yes, but it just looks wrong. They don't look menacing enough with the pilots sitting side by side.

nope, says black shark.

the KA-50 is a gator though :p

it may not look menacing, but imagine it with the face of George W. bush painted on the nose.

no, the Ka-50 is either werewolf, hokum or havoc depending on who talks about it ( OTAN, manufacturer and Russia ). I go for werewolf usually coz hokum and havoc have been given to two other russian helos already, I think it's stupid.
maybe that gator/blackshark is the same deal actually. blackshark is cooler than alligator anyway :p

Apparently the Russians are building a new helicopter to compete with the Comanche, though I expect it to be better than its American coumterpart. Its called the Black Ghost, look it up on Google, cool stuff

The only pic I can find (in a short time) is this, from a model kit

lol, that's a fake ( true model, fake helos ).
I have a model of the Mig37 ferret A, a stealth interceptor :lol: ( no, really, search on google, you'll see ), it's just made up stuff to sell cool looking models ( altho if that ferret thing does look good, the "thing" above is fugly as hell )

Well a Russian game developer (G5 I think) is making a helicopter game, called Fair Strike. It also includes the Black Ghost as a ship, so, you know, they probably know their stuff

If it is a fake then they're probably cooking up something even cooler, cause the Russians always have top of the line military hardware

Anyone seen the new model Flanker? With the side-by-side cockpit? It even has a galley onboard!
