About when did a US/CCCP war become suicidal? by
james_anatidae
I was wondering at about what point that the United States going to war with
the Soviet Union become an almost certain act of mutual destruction. I'm
assuming it sometime in 1960's or 70's, since what I've seen of the Soviet
nuclear capability before that point doesn't seem to be all...

Airspeed of military planes by
Tetsuji Rai
Airspeed limitation below 10000ft is usually 250kts unless you have been
authorized by the Administrator. However I guess it's a bit slow for
military fighters. So I am curious how fast military fighters fly in the
real world. I guess it's very dangerous military aircraft fly much fast

Cobalt by
Dan Welch
Hello,
from reading in the threads relating to nuclear war in the '80s, they
mention "cobalt weapons". Can anyone explain what these are? I very vaguely
remember a mention to them a book once but have no real idea.

Change the rules for the National Guard.? by
ArtKramr
How about we fix it so that in case of national emergency the guard goes FIRST
before the regular troops. Great idea huh? Think we would still get everyone
flocking to the National Guard in that case? I know Bush would have been first
in line to join up.. Right?

Punctured pressure cabin. by
M. J. Powell
There has been a bit of a furore over here concerning the new US
requirement to airlines to supply air marshals when requested. The
concern is mainly over the possible puncture of a pressure cabin.

US F86 sabres shot down a lot of Mig 15s in the Korean War. The ratio was
around 8 - 1. I recently watched a documentary about the confrontation
between these two planes. Apparently they were quite evenly matched with the
F86 having a slight overall advantage. In the end the high ratio...

F-32 vs F-35 by
The Raven
We all know that the X-35 won the JSF contest which is now in the strategic
development phase as the F-35. At the time the competition winner was
announced (LM) I wondered why Boeing would scrap their whole concept rather
than push forward with it.
For various political reasons Boeing could have...
