i've been thinking. We know that shape charge penetrating power are proportional to it's diameter. the larger the diameter, the more penetrationg power it has. But is it possible to increase the penetrating power by increasing the length of the metal cone? or can more explosive increase the penetration?

The ship don't have radio or what? what's wrong with sending a distress signal. audio alarm can only go so far, and it will also warn the pirates. don't tell me the pirates have jammer on board.

U.S., Malaysian Forces Conduct Joint Aviation Exercise

By From USS Abraham Lincoln Public affairs

USS Abraham Lincoln (At Sea) (NNS) -- Aircraft from USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) Carrier Strike Group participated in a joint aerial combat training exercise with the Royal Malaysian Air Force, Feb 14.

F/A-18 Hornets and Super Hornets from Carrier Air Wing (CVW)2 joined Malaysian SU-30 and FA-18D Hornets to train in multiple combat scenarios. Events ranged from single aircraft engaging single aircraft, all the way to complex multi-aircraft combat scenarios.

With the Malaysian SU-30s maneuvering at speeds estimated close to MACH 1, training was aggressive and realistic.

"Air Combat Training gives our aviators a chance to match their skills against the skills of some formidable foreign aviators and their modern aircraft. An added benefit is promoting regional partnerships and improving maritime security," said Lt. Luke Swain of CVW-2.

The United States and Malaysia share a diverse and expanding partnership and cooperate closely on a number of security matters, including counterterrorism, maritime domain awareness, and regional stability.
The Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group is currently in the U.S. 7th Fleet's area of responsibility as part of a routine deployment to promote peace, cooperation and stability in the region.
Boy, do i miss those Tomcats. And what with those our SU-30 maneuvering at speed estimated close to MACH 1? aren't they suppose to be faster then that?

the condor was thought to be good enough until it got peppered by RPGs and  7.62s

Humvee's and any other armored vehicles do not belong in the terrains of Afghanistan.

Why don't they belong? Because all those armor plating make them heavy and slow. Which means they can only travel on certain roads/paths.

Why is that significant? Because there is only a handful of roads/paths in Afghanistan. Which makes them predictable. Which makes them vulnerable to IED's/ambushes.

Humvee's and armored vehicles have uses in certain situations, such as when conducting urban operations. They do not work well in sandy/muddy/hilly terrain. Unless, of course if they take out all the extra armor plating. This kinda defeats the purpose of bringing a humvee in the first place.

The same principle applies to the soldiers. I do not understand why they insist on wearing body armor when conducting foot patrol. All that weight slows them down and make it impossible to cross certain terrain. This makes their patrol route predictable and of course, vulnerable to planned attacks.

I guess that's the mentality of the "white man". We can see that since ages past. Western Knight are always heavily armored with steel or iron armor while the eastern knight are only lightly armored with lamelar armor.

However, when wearing it on a foot patrol covering hundreds of miles of harsh terrain? That's just silly. The average grunt in Afghanistan carries over 100 - 150 pounds of equipment. Compare that to an average insurgent, which is about 30-40 pounds consisting of a rifle, ammo, food and water.

*
If insurgents ran out of food, they just knock a door in a village somewhere and they'll be replenish. US soldiers on the other hand can't risk taking food from the local, first because it look's bad on their record, and second the food might have been poisoned. Plus, Taliban fighters, like their vietnamese counterpart, subsist on a very small amount amount of simple food (hard bread, dried jerky, etc).

QUOTE
just to nitpick,the mujahs that fought the soviets are not the taliban.those guys are in their 50s an 60s now,the warlords now were probably mujahs.some of taliban commanders maybe,not the fighters though.cant comment on the weapons though,weapons supplied by the US are now being used against them


most of the weapons supplied by the US during Soviet occupation was already spent figting the soviets and then fighting among the mujahiddeens. The Mujahiddeens fighting the soviets are not really a single unified front. in it, there's a Kingpins, religious zealots, nationalists and mercenaries all glued together by the common enemy. once the common enemy's gone, the alliance unraveled rather swiftly.

USAF Indefinitely Grounds F-22 Raptors
By SCOTT FONTAINE and DAVE MAJUMDAR
Published: 5 May 2011 17:48
The U.S. Air Force has grounded all of its F-22 Raptors until further notice because of potential malfunctions in the fighter jets' oxygen-generation system.

Gen. William Fraser, commander of U.S. Air Combat Command, ordered a stand-down of the 165-plane fleet May 3, ACC spokeswoman Capt. Jennifer Ferrau said. Ferrau didn't immediately know how long the Raptors will be out of service.
The On-Board Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS) has been under investigation since an F-22 crashed in November just outside Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. Until the stand-down, Raptor sorties had been restricted to an altitude of 25,000 feet or below for training missions because of the potential malfunctions.

The limits were " designed for mishap prevention and is a prudent measure to ensure the OBOGS are operating safely, " ACC spokesman Col. William Nichols said in March, when the command first publicly disclosed the investigation.

An OBOGS malfunction can be potentially life-threatening, said Hans Weber, who sat on the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's Research, Engineering and Development Advisory Committee, and is president of Tecop International, a San Diego consulting firm.

" It's a big deal if you're at high altitude and you run out of oxygen, " Weber said in a March interview.

At 50,000 feet, a human being has less than 10 seconds of useful consciousness, he said. The 25,000-foot altitude restriction would allow the pilot to quickly dive below 18,000 feet, where the atmosphere has enough oxygen to ensure prolonged survival in case of an emergency.

" It would take you so long when you're way up high, you may black out before you make it to a safe altitude, " Weber said.

Turkey is capable enough to produce its own aircraft carrier
Turkey's defense industry undersecretary said on Saturday that Turkey was capable enough to produce its own aircraft carrier thanks to its recent achievements in maritime industry.
Turkey's defense industry undersecretary said on Saturday that Turkey was capable enough to produce its own aircraft carrier thanks to its recent achievements in maritime industry.

Murad Bayar said a country had to own at least two new destroyers, one submarine, one ASW, one ASuW, one conventional helicopter, four missile boats, 40 war jets that can land and take off from the aircraft carrier, and fuel tanker in order to own such a giant carrier.

" Also, the carrier should employ 1,000 to 5,000 staff according to its dimensions, " Bayar told AA correspondent.

Bayar said the undersecretariat was providing 52.1 percent of Turkish Armed Forces' (TSK) needs by local possibilities.

" Our turnover has reached 2.7 billion USD, exports to 853 million USD, and annual R&D expenditures to 600 million USD, " Bayar said.

Bayar said today, there was a Turkish company among the to 100 defense industry companies in the world.

The undersecretary said Turkey's Gokturk 2 satellite would probably be launched in the second half of 2012.

Bayar said the F-35 project schedule had been extended for two years, and technical and political initiatives were under way.

The undersecretary also said the first aircraft within the framework of A400M project was planned to be delivered in September 2013.

It's our policy not to get too close to any world power. That's what it meant to be Neutral. And just like Iran can block the Straits of hormuz, we can also block the straits of Malacca.

It's useless to declare neutrality without muscle to maintain it. Blocking the Straits of Malacca is our leverage to mainatain our neutrality.

Blocking Malacca Strait ???
with only 1 ska of MKM and cripple Migs (with no spares), or couple of lekiu class, its  only in your WET Dream.
have you ever sail in malacca st.?

If a Somalian pirates can prey on a ship as far as indian ocean armed with only an RPGs and AK-47s, imagine what we can do in the constricted waterways like the Straits of Malacca. We don't need MKM or Migs. An armed speedboat would do just fine. Our target is unarmed merchant vessel, not a warship.

1.a couple of ships attacked
2.RMN is butthurt for some reason and refuse to guard the straits
3.insurance skyrockets making travelling through the straits not viable
4.there you go,the straits is closed.
*
The problem is, if we refuse to guard the straits, we will give naval power like US or UK an excuse to put their Warship in the Straits and then it's no longer free for all waterway, it'll be American controlled waterway. I don't say we blocked the straits everytime some country buthurt us. The measure will only be taken if we face imminent military threat. Juts like Iran with it's threat to close the straits of hormuz. US may be able to make do without the oil from the straits of hormuz and i believe they have the plan to diversify their petroleaum source in case the straits of hormuz is closed. But other countries like China for example depend on the straits of hormuz for it's energy need. This countries in turn pressured US not to go on with the atatck.
