    USMC MV-22 Osprey - air to air video flying over Lake Tahoe

    Yep - impressive specs! But here is what I think about, they are much more expensive than a CH-53 too. Based on my memory twice the cost and they cannot lift as much. I'd have to recheck that to be sure. Program cost = $35.6 billion after planned procurement of 408 aircraft Unit cost = MV-22...

    USMC MV-22 Osprey - air to air video flying over Lake Tahoe

    Yes - they seem a bit awkward looking too me. Not really a fan of them myself, but they are quite capable aircraft. Are they really worth the money they cost to develop and purchase? Not in my opinion..... :roll:

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    I'd agree with that! Some describe Russian aircraft like MiGs as being not fancy at all and maybe a bit crude in some places but certainly fast. They then say most Western designs are built very nice inside and out. Every area is finished to perfection - even if you never see it or it does not...

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    Yep - truly impressive for such a huge task. Guess what Stalin wanted....Stalin got! I have read before that the Germans took some captured early T-34s back to Germany. They were so impressed with it's performance that they even considered building a copy. They encountered problems in...

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    Larry Vickers talkin' Russian main battle tanks. He always does a good job on his videos (in my opinion), so I hope you enjoy this. Just a quick history of Russian tanks. Kubinka Tank Museum - Russian Tanks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBk08eA_X4Q

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    Funny you mentioned that, as I had wondered who this "Ruptly" is anyway. Based on my limited searching - they are a news agency from Berlin Germany. I am assuming (which is risky) that they get the videos from someone (ground crew in this case?) and then post them as "news". There are...

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    This video is supposed to be Russian aircraft taking off and landing from their airbase in Syria, while conducting combat operations there. I cannot verify that, but I am posting it because it is a good quality video that shows Su-24, Su-34, Su-30, Su-25. If you choose to watch fullscreen on...

    Northrop Grumman Wins USAF's New Bomber Contract to replace B-52 & B-1

    Sure that is true... Just the same for the Oshkosh win in the JLTV award. Possible protests could lead to even reopening the process and starting over. Army may buy the design package and then put it out for production bids. Who knows what will replace the Humvees. It's is like a soap...

    New B-2 Stealth Bomber HD Air-to-Air Footage

    No question they were pioneers in the concept, but personally I give a huge heeping helping of credit back to Northrop. They created the XB-35 and YB-49 aircraft and had them flying when the designs were pushing the technology of the day. A flying wing is so hard to control and that was the...
