Russian CVL

A report on a proposed Russian CVL.  Frankly, nothing in the specs in this article make sense.  The numbers quoted for size don’t make sense with any of the other numbers. (h/t Jeff Groves)

Mirage III

A long time ago, I built an Israeli Mirage III from the Matchbox kit and did a kit bash of a Argentinian Dagger from a kit I don’t remember.  I don’t have either anymore.  Therefore I’d like to get this kit when it comes out.

Missing Chinese movie star

This is interesting.  No one seems to know where she is.  If the government have her, thus far they aren’t saying.

Improvised fighting vehicles

This is amazing.

An interesting article arguing for the USN to acquire a diesel submarine force.

Air to Air UAV kill

Yes, it was only practice.  However, I suspect that we will see more of this over the next 20 years.

What the heck?

This is weird.  I wonder what the real story is.

Me-109 decals

AIMS has a new set of 109 decals.

Navy UAV

I find it interesting that the USN chose to go with a refueling mission for their first aircraft carrier drone aircraft.  I would have thought fighter or bomber.  I am wondering if they are hoping to eventually build off the same platform for other missions.
