This actually reminds me of something interesting: in the early 90s Russia floated the idea of actually joining NATO. If the idea of NATO was to keep Russia from being too pesky or aggressive, what better way to check its ambitions in Europe then include it in a cooperative defense agreement and...
Finns are friendly people, but are rather shy. An extroverted Finn looks at your shoes while talking to you!!
Don't believe me, think the comic overplays the Finn's social anxiety?
Waiting for the bus level = Finn.
Cyber capabilities are not just proliferating at a strategic national defense level, but are developing at the lowest levels of the Norwegian military.
One great thing about living this far North is that sometimes it can be a real pain in the *ss to locate defense assets...
Bombs and bullets get all the headlines, but Norway is rapidly increasing its cyber defense and offensive capabilities as well, adding to what was already a very strong aspect of our national defense. In addition to a plethora of small satellites, Norway is increasing its use and capability with...
One interesting thing about the Sindre II radars you ask?
They can actually be retracted into subterranean caves!

What is that? The only other large cat breed I know of is the Maine Coon - an offshoot of the Norwegian Forest Cat when Norsemen brought the breed to North American - and which is roughly the same size as a Norwegian Forest Cat.
Lynx? We have those too.
They don't get as far south as I...
That's what they really look like. Their kittens like this:
And an adult Norwegian Forest Cat like this:
That one seems to have left its helmet at home:undecided:.
Despite their occasionally mean look, they are actually very friendly and social cats, which is somewhat atypical. They also...
We have cats the size of bears up here.
They start out small and cute.
The grow up and well, you know.
And I'm not exaggerating as much as you think. The Norwegian Forest Cat is a huge breed.
No they don't. The PAF operates the AIM-120 in previous iterations, but AIM-120D only achieved IOC in the USN and USAF last year and has yet to be fully fielded in their own military.
Pakistan does not have that particular version of AMRAAM.
Uh... Etterretningstjenesten?
That's their HQ, and they've a number of outposts throughout the country:
Including their evil lair.
We're NATO's eyes in the North.
The fun thing is that the pics are downsized:partay:. The original files are too large for PDF to handle.

Thanks! Some of the pics in the thread are photos I took.
I think there might even be one or two pics of me in this thread...
