Oh, I'm fairly certain the Armor Engineer Board at Fort Knox (if they haven't already) will be rolling out their version in short order.... |

I honestly tend to overlook them, but subs are just as crucial... and not nearly as glamorized Whats the latest scoop on super-cavitation? |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Narwhal_(SSN-671) Very quiet and an interesting screw. But these are fun to watch if you want the latest on what fast attack boats are doing.

Skipped around for 5 minutes on the first clip, but man o man I cant take that computer voice narration
I've posted some stuff with the same thing, its very common and if you read around the comments on all of this kinda stuff, it puts everyone off... but that shopped opening shot looks mighty indeed The second will need some time to digest, but I will absolutely check it out... looked like a British crew, but thats fine The last one though, seems to be the biggest news of the day... apparently the Los Angeles class of subs have become too noisy for modern warfare and are found lacking in many ways Apparently, a quieter diesel-electric Russian built model operated by the Indian Navy, 'sank' an LA class sub of ours during a recent training exercise... the big push after that seems to be a switch to more Virginia class craft https://www.themaven.net/warriormave...B0msuh35_NHEgQ |

Both my Son and my Daughter served in the Navy - I could never understand it. My Son was a WEPS Officer on a guided missile cruiser and my Daughter was a JAG officer. But the thought of being on a sub? Hell, no way....I would go ape shit crazy....I HAVE to be on land. |

Only 35 tons? Sounds like IFV weight.
The armor on that stealth tank must be lacking. Also, what does it do to combat the heat signature caused from a main gun after firing. What about heat from the exhaust? Limited role is what I see from the PL-01. |

One can only assume they've done things to address heat signature, like the covering on the barrel for instance |

Now, of course, with this "stealth" ability" it CAN stay off the radar of enemy planes and most ground anti-tank capabilities. But still - it would only take a split second of being seen, to take it out with a hell fire or the latest shoulder fired anti tank weapon. |
