I seem to recall that it was an omnibus document from the...

At the end of the Cold War it looked as if the M113 and FV432 would leave service either not to be replaced or to be replaced by more suitable vehicles. Thirty years later, they still serve in many forms and much refurbished. A bit like a London Taxi the simple box on tracks is right for the...

Hi,
the Kazan Ansat 3 is a medium transport helicopter project,powered by two
turboshaft engines mounted above the cabin.
http://www.aviastar.org/helicopters_eng/kazan_ansat3.php
"Longhorn" has been proposed to include a turbofan engine in a lengthened AGM-65F airframe.
This version would be 3.35 m long and could have a range of about 75 km.
Mid-course guidance would be inertial with GPS, while IIR or active MMW radar terminal seekers could be used.
