Cuz it is, old story from the 90's

looks like it, just that the front part is missing.. probably ady been removed by eod

cuz over there women arent that interested in joining saf or do ns

with only about 1.5k of wimmenz in the force, they are a real rare pokemon

SAFVC = PR soldiers

rip, too many military crashes these day looking at kypmbangi post

latest report says 2 crew perished in the crash, while 5 other escape unharmed.. rip

i dunno if nowadays carpet bombing still a viable option, or exposing a big ass target (the cargo plane) to the enemy?

this is a jack-up rig type platform, unfortunately those "tower" is part of its structure needed to secure itself to the seabed, the oil rig body can be lowered or heightened depends on the depth to the seabed


A jack-up rig can raise and lower itself on three or four massive "legs." Oil companies float these structures out to a drill site and then lower the legs until they touch the sea floor and elevate the rig out of the water.

hmm.. some site claim it does



Stuff about the Havoc that is cool

Self-healing fuel tanks
That's right, if one of the Mi-28's several fuel tanks is punctured, latex immediately seals the hole. The fuel feed systems are maintained at a vacuum so even if the fuel systems are damaged, fuel will not spill out and fill the helicopter's innards and possibly catch fire.

Shock absorbers
Not only are the Mi-28's swept-back undercarriage struts equipped with hydraulic shock absorbers but the seats are too! This makes it possible for the crew of a Havoc to survive a ground impact of up to 12 metres per second (27mph).

Ejector seats
There are very few helicopters in existence equipped with ejector seats. Special allowances must be given in the design if they are to be included (all Russian military helicopter pilots must wear parachutes), this being either rotors fixed with explosive bolts (i.e. the rotors are jettisoned prior to the ignition of the seat rockets) or seats that eject sideways. In the Mi-28's case the cockpit doors are blown off, the stub wings are jettisoned and air bladders are inflated below the door frames just prior to ejection to make sure the crew are directed away from the helicopter.

Bulletproof cockpit
Of course this isn't an uncommon feature in combat helo design - the Hind has cockpit glass almost as strong as armour plating - but is still cool. The Havoc's cockpit glass can take hits from 12mm bullets and 20mm shell fragments, but most coolly does not glint in bright sunlight. Combat helo pilots love to stay hidden.

Survivability
This is an area where Mil appears to have learnt something from their American counterparts but added plenty of their own ingenuity. As well as the aforementioned magic fuel tanks, the general infrastructure design of the Mi-28 is such that the most critical systems are buried within the helicopter fuselage with redundant, widely separated backup systems all protected by less important systems on the outside. The main gearbox can take cannon hits and operate for 30 minutes without any oil (sources don't finish that sentence with "before it is destroyed", but that is probably the case) and the composite rotors can reportedly operate adequately even after taking hits from 30mm shell fragments.

i dun see why not? can get cheap ships and as u know the navy badly needs more support type ships

and maybe hishammudin can revive his marine corp dream with this ships too.. although thats a pretty farfetched idea

kypmbangi with his crash news lately..

demmit.. just as i said it.. and it looks like the hip is falling like flies lately

nope, this is reva mrap/apc of south african origin

why not? and they did

LMT AR-15

why sad? every weapons platform have its pros and cons, and ar is cheaper
lmt selection is kinda a no-brainer as their 7.62mm marksmen rifle is from lmt too
