    Devotion - Korean War Aviation Film

    Looks like an awesome film! I love the Corsair which is featured in the film. In fact out of the 12 flyable Corsairs in the world the film crew obtained 6 aircraft for filming. The movie debuts in theaters November 23rd! View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIvBBd8pU1s

    Chieftain AVRE with demolition gun.

    I've read that the Chieftain was supposed to have a demolition gun on its AVRE variant before it was cancelled. Does anyone know where I could find design drawings/models of this?

    Mystery drone (?) under F-15 wing

    Confess that this one has me stumped. What is under the port wing? My guess is that it is some kind of a drone, but it is far smaller than the only two-engine drone I can think of (CT41) other than modified Bomarc. The rest of the load-out is pretty eccentric as well - Harpoon, Maverick and is...

    A strange tale from the Ukraine

    This is one of several allegedly true tales on the military ghost stories channel 'Wartime Stories', however this one deals with current events and if true raises all kinds of interesting questions, while at the same time defying an easy explanation. Back in the late 1990s, early 2000s I can...

    MBB Anti-Armour Projects

    Rolling Airframe Missile launcher concepts

    Thread for unbuilt RAM launcher concepts (aside from the standard Mk 49 and SeaRAM launchers) This morning, I reminded myself of an unusual concept to mount Rolling Airframe Missile launchers on the sides of a Mark 45 gun turret. The idea was to use the gun drives and gun fire control to point...

    late cold war german mine warfare projects

    i just found a pdf in Hungarian with information on two Bundeswehr mine warfare projects. Google translate is mediocre and the images are atrocious, but they seem to be the Skorpion mine laying system mounted on a Bv206 and the area defense mine "TARANTEL" build by Dynamit Nobel. i had never...

    MiG 19 -> Soviet F-5 -> Soviet F-20?

    Lets send the MiG company on the path not chosen wrt. their 'budget' fighters. Instead, they make a spin-off of the MiG 19 that has a wing better suited for high speeds (not 8.74% t-t-c at root as on the -19, but under 4.5% as it was case with MiG-21; wing is also of the shorter span), and...

    High Adaptability Surface Combatants

    Saw this in an article as I was looking for some information on the Reformers of the 1970s-1980s: "Hart and Lind have long made public their dismay with America's supercarriers, which, they argue at length, are vulnerable, too expensive to deploy in the numbers needed, and carry the wrong kind...
