The V-22 Osprey Finally Gets Some Proper Talons

送信時刻:
 
Would you want to walk into a gun fight only able to shoot at things behind you? Neither do Osprey pilots. That's why the DoD is outfitting the V-22 tilt-rotor fleet with some new, forward-firing rockets. (gizmodo.com) さらに...

How about the slewable gun pod from a Super Cobra?

Almost any aircraft, it only takes one Good shot.

ummm.... yeah, why didn't they do this from the beginning.

Cuz they were busy tryin to figure out how to just make it fly and sell. Especially after a hydraulics system failure. The days of we can fund anything are long gone but the admins who grew up in that environment are still wagging the same dog. The shuttle reminds me of when we could. The F35 reminds me of why we can't, or at least shouldn't. Good idea Torsten, but then they'll say we can replace the A-10 with it!

The same whiz kids that designed or laid out specs for the Osprey are probably the same ones that designed the F-4's without guns, saying we wouldn't be dogfighting anymore. Somebody forgot to relay that to the MIG's over North Vietnam.

Please don't shout, if the message is valid we will get it. If not, most will be more annoyed. The font does not deliver the salience!

Well, we are not computer "EXPERTS", but any basic in computerese will tell you that CAPS are as shouting or mad about something

If you have "little knowledge of this form of communication" then you should either learn or refrain from using until you do.

Then don't type in caps as that is shouting. And his comment didn't warrant the comeback you did either as I was not happy about it either.

Indeed, instead of replying in such a manner, even though you may not have been computer savvy, here is a suggestion: "Oops, sorry, I did not mean to shout, not being computer literate etc etc..". That would have been the end of it. Incidentally, Peter, how do you feel when having to read a sheet of paper, you know, a real one, all written in CAPITAL LETTERS? Anyway, I wish you and all a saf festive season and verry merry Christmas, hoping that most of those destructive machines we create stay on the ground for that time at least..

...well, you know the definition of an "expert"...an 'ex' is a has been and a 'spurt' is nothing but a drip under pressure....and yea, you are yelling and that was a slap to every school bus ever built...

Yes the A-10 is a flying tank. The V-22 is a insertion craft two totally different missions.

War is hell. If you engage you go into win! Not this bullshit we have be doing since Korea.

I really wish that Goldwater's philosophy would have been followed in Vietnam rather than let it try and be micromanaged from DC. Some 50.000+ GI's and airmen probably feel the same. Sad part is that the same thing is evolving in the mid east as we speak, managed by a community organizer that won't come in off the golf course in time to let boots on the ground do something that needs done right now.

TOO BAD PREACHER1 IS A MORON
preacher1
No, I just call it like I see it and having been there and done that back in the day, I feel I have that right, so if you don't like it, kiss off.
preacher1
At the very least if they would have let the Generals on the ground run things, we'd have probably been out of there a hell of a lot quicker.
bennettgaryw
I was there too and I do agree with you on how the conflict was handled was a joke and cost thousands of men their lives!

Another candidate for the Darwin awards, and such an eloquent speaker to boot! I suppose delivering a lame message with a bullhorn might be more welcome on another site. The DNC site is about 180' away.
