Best of all F-14 low passes at 1:07

Rolling dive behind the ridge with wings back, pop up over and nose down head on, clip some grass, turning climb shows off wing rotation.

After that is a rare (and brief) strafing run filmed from the ground at close range.

The EMAV unmanned tracked vehicle in development for the US Marine Corps. This example is equipped with a 30 mm XM810 cannon and two LMGs




Homemade Palestinian MLRS system made to be camouflaged in urban environments. It could fire 9 Qassam missiles. Apparently, this truck was used for a month in early 2010 making strikes against Israeli targets in the Gaza Strip before being discovered. Even was able to pass police inspections.

US forces took part in a Swedish exercise this weekend. As part of it a US C-130 landed on a public road on the island of Gotland, where a HIMARS was transferred to a Swedish C-130 which transported it to the Vidsel range in northern Sweden where it was test-fired.

Sweden has a requirement for rocket artillery, and HIMARS is the strongest contender. The exercise was primarily geared towards special ops, but the opportunity was used for testing rocket artillery as well.

M211, the M135 was the same except for having single and larger tires. Automatic transmission, somewhat same as a Cadillac, and a GMC 302 inline 6. Featured in lotsa movies from TAPS/Rambo/Pork Chop Hill and Southern Comfort.

Would you believe I have done ten air assault missions in one of those?



Tell us more, please?


We did five during daylight and five during nighttime at Ft. Bragg. They had a box that was a troop compartment carried where they would normally sling load stuff.

It was dark as shit even during daylight. Ramp drops at the rear and you run off.

I much preferred Blackhawks and Chinooks to this.

It was fast to altitude, though.  We had a few National Guard Crane weekends at Saint Mere Eglise drop zone at Bragg.  With pay hurts and three free fall clubs (82nd, Green Beret, and XVIIIth Airborne Corps) everyone got their money's worth those days.
