Now this sounds interesting

Lightweight armor could have all sorts of interesting uses.

Night Shift new videos

Uncle Night Shift has some new videos up.  Check them out.

More Russian vaporware

Story here.  As usual, I don’t believe we will ever see this, thought I do ultimately think this is the wave of the future.  I also think robotic vehicles, UAVs and soldiers will make war more likely, not less likely.

Bad British Tanks

I quite enjoyed this.

Tank upgrade

Looks like the US Army is getting its tanks upgraded a bit quicker.  I, for one, am happy to see that the U.S. armed forces are not ignoring conventional war-fighting.  Given our experiences with non-traditional combat (terrorism and insurgency) it would be easy to lose focus on conventional warfare.  I am glad we are not.

An amazing story

I’ve seen the footage that is referred to in this story.  I suspect many WWII history buffs will recognize it.  Amazing to know the history behind it.  I look forward to the book.

Army’s future APC

An interesting article on the Army’s attempt to procure a next generation APC.  Drones?  Hmmmm.

Improvised fighting vehicles

This is amazing.

72nd scale armor releases

I will admit that I’d like to get all three of these kits, but especially the Japanese truck.

Russia’s drone AFV

I was unaware that Russia was fielding one of these.  Syria looks more and more like 1936-1939 Spain to me, with Russia using it as an opportunity to test their new weapons in combat.
