As Christmas approaches and we prepare to celebrate the holidays with our friends and family, it is time to break out with this old poem and remember our sons and daughters and comrades in arms who go in harms way to preserve our freedoms. Their job is a thankless one in most cases. Even those of...

someone wrote; "God, I hate bush for killing Americans. How about You?" In case you haven't noticed it isn' the President that's doing the killing, it's a bunch of islamic fudamentalist terrorists, and after we tried to play nice and leave them some semblance of a country still standing. Guess...

Hi all, I'd like to know what your opinion is on joining the US Air Force as an officer and going to OTS. I'm considering going as an officer in a technical field (not as a pilot). I know about MEPS and the process for getting into the OTS, but what I would like to know is whether or not it is...

If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training ... you will be a weapon, you will be a minister of death, praying for war. But until that day you are pukes! You're the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human ****ing beings! You are nothing but unorganized grabasstic...

Rafael is developing an IR guided missile countermeasure system called AIM-AIR. It basically uses sensors to track any IR guided missiles fired at an aircraft and it uses lasers to then burn the guidance head of the IR guided missile.

In a Brazilian military website it has a small article on the PAK-FA fighter. It says that the name will be the Sukhoi T-50 and that it will not have the forward swept wings as the Su-47 prototype. The prototype is expected to fly in 2006/2007 with initial in-service around 2012. I guess we may be...

Does anyone have any details on the German high velocity (Mach 5-6) missile called the HFK (or HFK2)? Sounds like an interesting project which I believe will be operational around 2010. -----JT-----
