Continued from above ... A further two variants of the same class were built for the Philippine Navy in the early 1990s, and are configured as multi-role patrol ships. Dubbed the Bacolod City class, these vessels are adaptable to different mission sets and are very inconspicuous. A helicopter...

Meet The Biggest And Baddest Ships In the US Army The US Navy doesn’t have a monopoly on big boats. When you think of the US Army, large seagoing vessels don’t come to mind. Maybe they should; the service has its own expansive fleet of boats and ships, and the USAV SSGT Robert T. Kuroda and...

This is very true and the sacrifices of South and East Asian populations, alongside those in the Middle East and North Africa are often lost on European populations when commemorating the end of WWII, even when populations or peoples from nations in those regions took part in important campaigns...

Nah, Zibago just miss wrote. What he meant was Smaug:D. Looks like Pakistan's got a Smaug problem.

The Russians, Brits, French, and Poles directly contributed much to the Liberation of Norway. Towards the end of WWII, the Russians chased the German Army slightly west of Kirkenes, and were later joined by British and Norwegian forces forming Force 138, which pushed the Germans further south...

In addition to Exercise Bifrost, elements of the Norwegian Army are engaged in Exercise Reindeer 2 with the USMC. These are pre-exercise prep photos.

Just adding to this a bit; that rifle has a hot-swappable signature suppressor (full spectrum). Other options chop the sound suppressor in half and mate a suppressor with a flash suppressor add-on, such as this: Notice how it's a screw-on option? So called hot-swappable? This allows a shooter...

Uhhh... no thanks, you can keep him. I don't agree with any name on that list:D. He does have pretty eyes though:wub:.

And with ports secure, we can officially say :welcome: to Norway to the United States Marine Corp... not that they weren't already here:p:. ... And a bonus video of a Danish MH-60R trying to land on HDMS Vædderen near the Faroe Islands, in very rough seas. Waters in the North...

With the Navy exercising at sea, the Army and HV are involved in exercise Bifrost on land. Engineering battalions are also getting some action in, securing ports for the arrival of American equipment and personal.

Hey a Finland sighting:o:. And I was beginning to think this was the "Norwegian defense thread":D. ... Continuing on with the exercise pictures, these from Flotex 2016.

According to people that actually fly the aircraft, it's the opposite of everything you just wrote:disagree:. The F-35 has better payload with greater range and better kinematic performance then the F-16. Also Canada's decision to buy the F/A-18E/F might not actually save it any money in the...

But not underappreciated, so it balances out:happy:. If she whines too much just remind her that working is her choice and I make enough to support the three of us comfortably. I'm proud too though. I support her playing videogames professionally or doing video streaming on the side, but it's...

Sorry, I put the wrong picture up:D. I meant for this one to be there instead: It's a flash suppressor. The sound suppressor already takes care of the recoil issue associated with the large .338 round and cuts down on muzzle flash a bit, but the add-on flash hider goes further. Typically a...

Model 98B... very nice. As is it's a beast, but the MRAD variant tweaked the design a bit to make an already killer rifle even better. Yes it is. So far the Model 98B doesn't have any users, but the MRAD variant is in service with the Norwegian Army (above) and Israeli Defense Force...

The massive Flotex 2016 exercise is underway, so prepare for a deluge of pics. If you can't tell, it's exercise season in Norway. You have the Navy and Coast Guard at Flotex 2016, the Army training with the USMC Europe and the HV and the Air Force will get in on the action at...

Not exactly. The F-15S is a variant of the F-15E, which is the strike variant of the F-15 Air Superiority Fighter. Cruise missiles on an air superiority fighter? SDB too? It's a strike platform. They retain their air-interdiction role, but are geared towards ground support. The Saudis are...

They're fine. I'll leave you to convince Freyja to stop by, I don't like to bother or pester her into being part of forums, especially the myriad of defense one's I'm part of. It's just not her thing. But she likes you and might be willing to drop by if only to fool around with you. We're...

Happy Turkey Day!! We don't even celebrate Thanksgiving, but this year we're having Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie for dinner too:woot:!! Honestly I just wanted an excuse to try some different foods. We wont be celebrating the spirit of Thanksgiving though, I'll leave that to...

That's not going to be easy. Norway doesn't really have a mechanism to facilitate foreigners gaining entry into our country. Typically migration to Norway requires you to have family or a spouse here already, someone who can sponsor and host you while you go through the citizenship or permanent...
