$100,000 missile for a $2,000 drone. Could they not have just shot it down with bullets?

A good display from Kamov for the recent 100th anniversary of the RuAF

Good find from someone that has now made it to youtube, inadvertent drop test of an S-300 missile. What happens when there is a failure to start.

A lot of advertisement is a load of rubbish, the advertisement below made headlines when Vyacheslav Senchurov the deputy director of Severnoye Design Bureau (who developed the enemy ships in the advertisement) said as much.

Iron dome in action at night.

Hmm, that video leaves me with the feeling that even if it isn't totally effective, it must provide a big psychological boost to the public.

[Cartertonian]

I think with a name like, 'Iron Dome', the psychological benefits were the primary intended effect.

[Typhoon]

^ I also believe this to be so, Iron Dome appears to be operating at around 70-75% probability of kill for an undisclosed number of interceptors (probably 1-2) per kill.

Did the rounds quite recently but a very good Russian televised exposure of the T-90SM including armaments and the ARENA active protection system, worth a watch if not already seen.

Small arms for once, the sniper has undergone something of a renaissance within the Russian military in recent years...silenced 12.7 mm rifles being a never addition...

Other 12.7 mm rifle to be highlighted recently was the OSV-96 finding its way to Syria's opposition!

Greece locking up a Turkish Phantom, one wonders if something similar occurred with the Turkish Phantom over Syria...

Decent documentary on the advances of Iran's domestic arms manufacture.

WARNING GRAPHIC!

Another interesting video from Syria, T-72 taking a what appears to be an RPG-29 to the rear (through the initial footage does not match up angle wise), causing partial detonation of the ammunition in the turret with spectacular results...

[youtube]nIUYuswb6GA[/youtube]

Remarkably one of the tank crew from the turret does appear to survive being blown from the turret or top of the tank and manages to run for safety!

[Igor Antunov]

Lately youtube, especially embedded youtube videos, has become useless to me. Skips and stutters non stop on a machine that can max out crysis 2 at 60-fps. Sigh wtf. Tried all broswers, and it's even occuring on other machines in the house. Fucking youtube.

Irrespective of the end product I think the ambition of the Iranians certainly has to be admired.
