Science Unique Military Weapons - Page 40

Cant recall ever seeing a thread on this topic so i thought it was time we had one... this thread is dedicated to military weaponry of any kind, from any era or nation.

There is a seemingly endless array of novel, fascinating, revolutionary or even ill-fated hardware out there so subject material shouldnt be a problem.

First entry coming up shortly...

Yep. Beverly Shenstone. He was the alleged spy who went to work in Germany.

Probably Q. Don't care:

I actually cried when I saw one for the first time in Dayton.

That V-3 launcher looks like it could be devastating, especially if the range on those projectiles were as they seem they could be. But, it doesn't appear to be very practical in terms of assembly, possibly even making it a hinderance.

The hell is this thing? Looks like some military grade Concorde.

XB-70 bomber. Mach 3 strategic bomber prototype. Designed in the late 1950s.

I forget the name, but that was one of Dongs first entries in this thread way back in the early pages that got deleted by youtube, iirc

Still kinda sexy even by modern standards IMO

I have several books on the XB-70.

The most remarkable bomber developed IMO.

Russias new Checkmate Fighter is kinda sorta slick looking, but I'm honestly not all that impressed overall... there just something kinda clunky, and not so stealthy looking about its overall design

Mostly its that big square air induction, it kinda comes up alongside the fuselage instead of being seamlessly blended into it, but those stubby wings also don't inspire me, looks like a tough plane to control IMO

For all of its software/internal problems, the F35 is still the more well thought out looking, seamless, purpose built design by far

It doesnt have the same sex appeal of an Su-57, or even a Mig-35 if you ask me...

Russia: Stealth Doesn't Work.
Also Russia: Checkmate!
