Australian Ministry of Defense Halloween Meme

They're titling this as their return to the silver screen...

Indian Army ALH Rudra along with Arjun Mk1 MBTs

This is one of those tanks that doesn't get much press. The Arjun Mk1 MBT. I don't recall how its seen in comparison to the other tanks of the world. Is it good, bad or just ok? I do know that the Indian Army has put much effort into the design but I have to wonder if the juice is worth the squeese.

Bad Fuel? I don't think so. That excuse just don't sing

Are you people really buying this "reason"?

To my knowledge and I most definitely could be wrong, the fuel on high performance aircraft (and it applies to both here) is TESTED!

The idea that bad fuel smashed two aircraft and NOT more is insanity in my opinion and a poorly thought out excuse.

Correct me if I'm wrong and I'll happily admit it but naw bro, this just don't sing.

Iran. A victim of WW1

The diss track for "Fire Brian Kelly"

Baton Rouge is burning.

Good riddance. Get the fuck outta here Brian Kelly

 

The US Navy Carrier USS Nimitz lost a SeaHawk AND a Super Hornet with an hour of each other in the South China Sea????

Sorry boys and girls that just don't sound right.

Does China have some type of directed energy beam that disables our aircraft?  Yeah I know.  The simplest explanation is usually right but TWO MECHANICAL ISSUES on two different aircraft causes the loss of both WITHIN AN HOUR OF EACH OTHER?

If it was during combat ops I could easily understand it.  Crews awake forever, the carrier being pushed to its limits....but during peacetime?

Something smells with this.

Russia is smoking crack. 9M730 Burevestnik (SSC-X-9 Skyfall) is fucking real....

 

This is insanity on a plate. A nuclear powered, nuclear capable intercontinental cruise missile with unlimited range? Low flying? WTF bro! I'm not worried about nuclear war with this thing. I'm worried about a nuclear accident. This thing is over the top batshit crazy.

“What are you doing, Joe? You can’t throw that with no f—ing time outs…” Good question. I gotta ask Brian what the fuck are you doing to our season

 

LSU is falling. 

The barbarians (Vanderbilt, Texas A&M and soon Alabama) are at our gates...

WTF man!

I wonder what piss ant, useless bowl we're going to this year.

Only doing cat shots on blue-sky days doesn’t put you in the same league as the U.S./How much of an advantage does experience give?

This tweet caught my attention. We haven't seen China's carrier force operating in foul weather. I don't recall any pics of Chinese military vessels operating in foul weather. Maybe the cameramen just don't want to get wet but I haven't seen it. The US Navy is a pro at such things. The idea of running ships hard, breaking them is common. We OVER EXERCISE our forces. Everytime you turn around there is at least one and probably more units conducting a major exercise with allies.

The question is.

Does all this hard won experience/training actually translate to an advantage?  Our has things flipped.

Once it was thought that only flying could build a competent pilot but now you see simulators making up for flight hours.  Hell the next carrier pilots won't even use their trainers for carrier landings.  The first they'll see that is in their transition aircraft.

Is all the work worth it or are we breaking gear and people chasing a phantom advantage?
