I agree. Beautiful plane, and its one of the few things that give Azerbaijan the upper hand against Armenia.


A pic I took a while after Operation Sun (You can wiki it haah). Im expecting Turkish military incursion into N Iraq, as far as I know last night a 100 vehicle convoy moved to the Iraq border at Hakkari.

EDIT: Forgot to say where the pic is. Its at the 23rd border station in Şırnak.

Nairobi/Mogadishu - Dutch marines freed a German container ship that had been seized by pirates off the Somali coast, a spokesman for the European Union's anti-piracy Atalanta naval taskforce said.
The MS Taipan was steaming from Mombasa, Kenya, to Djibouti when the pirates attacked around 500 nautical miles east of the Somali coast, the spokesman said.
The Taipan crew made radio contact with the EU task force. When it became clear that the ship would not be able to escape the pirates, the crew was instructed to shut down the engines to make the vessel unmanoeuvrable. Crew members then took shelter in a saferoom, and warships patrolling the Gulf of Aden were alerted to the Taipan's plight.
The Dutch frigate Tromp Lynx was the first to arrive. After a failed attempt to negotiate with the pirates, task force commanders ordered the Taipan retaken by force, and the Dutch crew boarded.
A firefight erupted, and one Dutch marine was wounded, according to the Defence Ministry in The Hague. Ten pirates were captured, and the 15-member Taipan crew was unharmed.

Hr.Ms.Tromp takes part of EU-Operation Atlanta, In total there are now 143 pirates been disarmed by European vessels. 73 of those where done by the crew and boarding teams of the Hr.Ms.Tromp.

The bridge of the pirated vessel after the Lynx open fire.
Must have been pretty windy when the crew continued the voyage.

How about we add the MG42, witch is a very cool MG, to an even cooler MG, the FG42. How would you like that?

MG 42 beat gay MG3  :P
Gay MG3 would most definitely beat a MG42.
i would love to see the MG42 compete vs modern MG's though

i think only the FN MAG, MG3 and PKM would be a worthy competitor


I somehow think the mg42 would win....

Also, as for the m60, there would be no quarrel between hat and the mg42.  The m60 has a slow rate of fires and is notoriously unreliable....
In many ways exept the ease of mounting them on Armoured fighting vehicle's. In this, tbh, the FN MAG and PKM would win

And the M60? HA!
Their is a reason the US adopted the FN MAG

if a FN MAG and a M60 fired 50 000 rounds, the FN MAG would have a MRBS (MRBS, jams that can be cleared within minutes) Around 3000 rounds fired. THe M60= only 800
MRBF, such as a part breaking happend between 7000 rounds fired for the MAG. The M60 at 1670 Rounds!

The minimum desired was 850 MRBS and  2700 MRBF. The FN MAG outperformed that requirment triple.
I know a now retired Belgian army machine gunner. And he got his hands on many machine guns. He once said to me= If i would be dropped right now in hostile territory, and i could choose one Machine gun, i would probaly picked a FN MAG 58,MG3 or a PKM.
When i asked him about the MG42, he replied =Do you have one?can i have it? He then told his experience of the MG42. he LOVED the MG. And he is currently on a mission to legally aquire one.


AND CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WTF THIS IS?PORTABLE RAILGUN?

FN MAG is an awesome weapon! It fires like dream, Its not to heavy, You wont destroy your back when doing a patrol. I definitely choice it above the FN Minimi, maybe becose im Ol'dschool as it comes to weapons.

And they fit perfectly in your trunk! ;D
