SNAFU!

It has begun. US reviewing plans to evacuate nukes from Turkish Air Force Base.

The @nytimes reports that the US is finally "reviewing plans" to flush the WS3 nuclear weapons storage vault at Incirlik Air Base in #Turkey. The B61 nuclear gravity bombs are still there. pic.twitter.com/Hga2eMrAFR

KF-X mockup looks real, doable and practical...

Thanks to Petrus for the pics...

This makes so much sense to me. Stealth treatment without going full stealth. The payoff should be high performance, high agility, outstanding range and a more than decent payload.

Additionally if they're following the Navy's "payloads over platforms" scheme then not only will it be practical, but also affordable.

This is just a neat design.

I hope the S. Korean's can pull this off. If they can then I bet it turns into an export SUPER STAR!

Predicted either a quick heat up or quick resolution to this crisis. Might have been a bit wrong on that one. More on that in a later blog post. But back on task. You might have to do a translate to read the above tweet but the face of Turkish atrocities in Syria now have a face.

My bigger problem.

All these little extremist groups running around Syria being used by everyone are hard to keep on the leash.

Turkey didn't and now they have a symbol to be used against them in the form of the savage killing of this lady.

Turkey seriously miscalculated. I don't know their goals or rationale behind this op but they're gonna pay a long lasting price for this military adventure.

Ripsaw M5 AUSA Reveal

Either this is the most jacked up birthday wish to the US Navy, this guy doesn't deserve to be in office or both...

This has to rank as one of the most jacked up Tweets in the history of US politics.

Dude wishes the US Navy a happy birthday (happy birthday Squiddies!) but uses a pic of a Russian warship!

Simply amazing.

Go here to check out the guy getting roasted in the Twitter-verse...

Rumor Control. Russia is setting up a no fly zone over Northern Syria!!!

#BREAKING: I just got confirmation that on request of #SDF, #Russia has agreed to establish No fly-zone over NE #Syria to prevent #Turkish Air Force from bombing #SDF/ #YPG/ #Rojava. #RuAF's Su-35S fighter interceptors left #Hmeimim Air Base to confront Turkish F-16C/Ds & F-4Es! pic.twitter.com/23BvaAqRBx

This shit is either getting real or Turkey has already struck a deal. Expect things to get extremely hot OR to cool off dramatically in the coming days.

L-ATV Command and Control Variant...

via Press Release.

Oshkosh Defense, LLC, an Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK) company, will display three Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV) and for the first time ever, a Light Combat Tactical All-Terrain Vehicle Command and Control (L-ATV C2), at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) National Conference. The vehicles will be on display at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington, D.C., from October 14 to October 16, 2019.

“The JLTV fleet provides our armed forces a critical combination of protection and extreme off-road mobility to ensure reliable maneuverability within combat formations,” said George Mansfield, Vice President and General Manager of Joint Programs for Oshkosh Defense. “The L-ATV C2 provides the same level of protection and extreme off-road mobility as our already fielded JLTV platform. In addition, the L-ATV C2 houses a robust communications suite, giving our armed forces the unique and highly-desirable advantage of staying well-connected while on-the-move.”

Oshkosh Defense partnered with L3Harris Technologies to demonstrate a communications suite capability, representing just one of the ways a mobile command center can be configured on the back of a highly mobile light tactical wheeled vehicle. The L-ATV C2 has ample available power and configuration flexibility to adjust and modify its interior – depending on the needs of the commander and the crew. “The L-ATV C2 allows commanders to quickly maneuver on the battlefield, directing dismounted units using assured communications provided by the integrated C4 equipment,” concluded Mansfield. Further, the modular nature of the interior can accommodate any number of workstations and/or communications equipment rack locations to provide optional layouts that work for personalized missions and the crew carrying them out.

The L-ATV C2 will also feature a Black Hornet Vehicle Reconnaissance System (VRS) made by FLIR. The Black Hornet equips armored or mechanized vehicles with an immediate, organic, and self-contained surveillance and reconnaissance system.

Oshkosh is doing it.

They're building a family of vehicles...and expanded family of vehicles to take over the Humvees role.

Rheinmetall Wiesel Wingman...

Note. I'm not too excited about this vehicle cause we've seen the (in my opinion) the ultimate armored wingman in the form of the BAE Black Knight, however its cool and Rheinmetall has been on a serious run as of late so maybe they're onto something in the requirements that I don't know about.
