Uparmored Hilux from District 9.

SNAFU! Video Page.


SNAFU! now has a YouTube Page.  You can check it out here.  Its still in its infancy and unfortunately I don't have the time or the budget to make it to Eurosatory or PaxRiver to get on the scene videos...but I will scour the internet and pass along good stuff that I happen to find.

F-35 drop test photo.

The F-35C recently completed its drop test with full combat load.  Here is the photo.  Via Lockheed Martin.  Notice the cluster bombs, Mk-82(?) and other ordnance on the wings.  I'm assuming that a full internal load of weapons is included.

Hat Tip to Military Photos.

McChrystal and the Budget.

Just mud rolling here and maybe someone else will develop it fully but I wonder....

What effect will this controversy have on the Military's relationship with the Obama Administration and will that affect future budgets????

I am expressing personal feelings here but I don't think that Obama will be satisfied with his pound of flesh from McChrystal....

I get the feeling that he doesn't like the military....

I think that he would love to shrink the budget to levels unseen in the modern era...

And I think that this gives him the perfect opportunity.

Before you slam me, think about it.  Cuts are coming to the US defense budget.  That is without question. 

But is this the opportunity (and Obama's Chief of Staff is famous for stating "you never let a crisis go to waste") that they've been waiting for?

Like I said...just mud rolling.

BMT Fast Landing Craft.

I failed to properly load this video last night.  Here it is again done right.  Enjoy.
