"No war is just..ask the infantry and ask the dead"...Ernest Hemingway...

The British show the ultimate respect for their fallen soldiers. May they all rest in peace.

Thank you for your kind words.

Posting photos in forums is about all I do online. I don't make many comments because so many people online are packed with hate or full of themselves..I can't stand it. So I just avoid arguments by not discussing subjects.

My online life consist of 4 forums posting photos and looking at car videos on youtube. I don't do ANY social media except these forums.. I don't have a smartphone.(my wife does) I use my desktop or occasionally my chromebook...chromebooks are great for travel..

Great photo @Black Pawn

The Avro Z-59 was a Blue Steel missile with a nuclear ramjet mounted on top. Solid rocket motors would propel the missile to a speed when the ramjet would light. It would then travel at low level at Mach 2, leaving a radioactive plume behind it. Once at the target, the nuclear warhead would detonate, adding the reactor material to the fallout.

A particularly nasty device

I have read that this photo (missile) features in the following book
Vulcan's Hammer: V-Force Projects and Weapons Since 1945 by Chris Gibson

I know exactly how you feel @bdpopeye but there will be no hate here and those that are full of themselves and wont listen to reasoned discussion will not last very long at all. Glad you do what you do buddy, thats what this site is all about

The BAE Systems consortium submitted an offer to build a new vehicle as part of the Mobile Protected Firepower program run by the US Army. The vehicle is to be operated by the Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT).

MPF is a new program to acquire combat vehicles for US ground forces, the aim of which is to introduce into the equipment an armored vehicle designed to precisely target targets using enormous firepower, combined with the ability to quickly move in various terrain conditions.

"Our MPF is the result of more than 3 decades of research and development work, the aim of which was to build a mobile, offering the opportunity to quickly send to the theater the activities of a light combat vehicle. His destiny is the support of light-duty unity. Our offer integrates state-of-the-art technologies as part of a completely new design, based on years of development, trials and lessons learned from the experience of combat vehicles" - said Jim Miller, director of business development at Combat Vehicles BAE Systems.

The track of a British multiple launch rocket system assigned to 176th Battery, 19th Regiment, Royal Artillery, stands still during the Dynamic Front 18 exercise in Grafenwoehr, Germany, March 7, 2018. Exercise Dynamic Front 18 includes approximately 3,700 participants from 26 nations training together from Feb. 23-March 10, 2018. Dynamic Front is an annual U.S. Army Europe (USAREUR) exercise focused on the interoperability of U.S. Army, joint service and allied nation artillery and fire support in a multinational environment, from theater-level headquarters identifying targets to gun crews pulling lanyards in the field.

Me too I have found over the years that it does not matter what evidence I provide most people online, but not all, just cannot see the woods for the trees.

I know exactly how you feel @bdpopeye but there will be no hate here and those that are full of themselves and wont listen to reasoned discussion will not last very long at all. Glad you do what you do buddy, thats what this site is all about

Good to hear that Bomber, so many military sites , and others, just seem to let users say and do what they want. Im not sure why but perhaps its because they think they can leave the site to its own devices once created. What they forget is that the web like life needs order & rules otherwise we create Anarchy.

Six jets from Royal Air Force Coningsby-based 3 (Fighter) Squadron are in Greece to test their skills alongside the Hellenic Air Force and Top Guns from America, Italy, and the United Arab Emirates.

It’s the RAF’s first appearance at Exercise Iniochos and the Typhoons have been practising air tactics in a multinational environment in preparation for future Coalition operations
