Well they didn't have the equipment for airlifting if thats what you mean, but as far as tanks and their logistics go, Russia has a good track record. As for Germany and the USSR during WWII, well, Germany was renown for the quality or their tanks, which were generally expensive, requiring...

Not exactly, but I did commission a virtual reconstruction of an old roman fort which was to be put on wikipedia, and that mean't releasing it onto the public domain, with the explicit knowledge it could be used for comercial purposes and not even awknowledge you...

At the end of the day, I don't understand why these bastards are complaining. The movie and music industry and its associated artists are still making millions (if they are sucessful), something that has been unheard of in history. Its only been 60-70 years since artists have been very well...

Like they said themselves, this is all about PR for the Movie industries. Artists, producers, and so on are still making millions if they are sucessful, so I don't see what they are complaining about. Its not like people who use warez represent a majority of the population, nor is it enough...

Sorry for the double post, but this is turning into quite a longwinded discussion and walls of text usually put people off reading. Not to mention the individual replies are veering off into two separate directions. I think I have, now I'm completely lost as to what you are saying. This...

Of yes, definitely. I mean, with all these investments in equipment, one also has to invest in the infrastructure to maintain them, such as workshops, factories for replacement parts, ammo storage and repair bays spread around the country. This is the kind of infrastructure Brazil is lacking at...

Yeah go ahea, I love standup comedy.

We are generalising here. The realities and necessities of Europe, the U.S and so on are not the same as those of say Latin America, Sub-Saharan countries and so on. Not all countries are on the same level of technological and military development and hence the strategic realities also shift...

What happened to Rosh?

Not things that would help the military much? There is more to the army than force projection, and off course that equipment helps the army A LOT. I don't see how that is debatable really. OK, we'll stick to MBT's. Im sorry? This is an infantry war and tanks still lose? Did you miss WW2...

I think you may have a misguided view of what south america looks like. Brazil is a massive country with many different types of terrain and environment, with jungles in the north-west, desert like plains in the north-east, many mountain ranges throughout, and large open areas (pampas) and...

The proposal has nothing to do with force projection but rather the needs of the military. Force projection these days has little to do with the army but more with air force and navy. The army plays mostly a defensive role. Artillery still plays a very important role, and Brazil has one of...

Brazil's army at the moment is a national embarassment. Conscripts are sent back home because there is not enough food/rations to go around in their barracks, weapons are almost 60 years old, ammunition stocks are at 15% their recomended level, its armoured fleet is mostly grounded due to lack...

Awesome. Never imagined Vic with a moustache before.

The original idea was for Brazil, India and China to jointly develop a 5th generation figther, but Im not sure if it was Brazil that backed out or Russia that didn't follow through with the deal. Seems now we get to license build them, which isn't too bad, but could be better. Brazil...

Thx. For some reason that link stops at chapter 3. I found another page with the full story, but it doesn't have the sketches and all that. Really interesting story. Theres something ancient and mysterious about caves that really tingles your imagination when you think of it.

Cheers! EDIT: It seems the chinese government is intent in stopping me from reading scary stories at 4:30AM... that one doesn't work either.

All the links I found were directly linked to the page I can't access.

Is there anywhere else I can find the Ted the caver story? Im in China and that website is being blocked for some reason.

Something something something.... dark side. Something something something.... complete.
