Tank barrel when moving non tactical are backward because it is locked by the Travel lock which is a ring into which the gun muzzle is inserted and locked, for transporting the tank when not in combat. The Travel Lock reduces overhangs and problems with bumping into things you'd prefer not to...

All systems are flawed. It depends on the people who apply them. How come the 'Bamboo Curtain' is no longer termed so? :) And why did that happen? Because the whole concept was flawed and whipped with power hunger.

@jouni Good point. We have gone over how the 'coup' was organised many a time and so it is not worth the paper to once again elaborate. When the West celebrates that "Democracy" and elections are the fundamental compasses for "Freedom", would you be good enough to tell us what would you call...

This might help you to understand. The Sami people are folks who are from Scandinavia. While the Sami, or Lapps (as they were formerly called), are commonly thought of as the inhabitants of Lapland, they have never had a country of their own. They are the original inhabitants of northern...

Ukraine: why are we trying to start a new cold war with Russia? Tim Stanley A lot of things don't make sense about the Ukrainian uprising. For instance, we were constantly told that Russia basically ran the country – that Viktor Yanukovych was a puppet president. In which case, why did...

But the essence is Us and Them And after all we're only ordinary men Me, and you God only knows it's not what we would choose to do Forward he cried from the rear and the front rank died And the General sat, as the lines on the map moved from side to side Black and Blue And who knows which is...

This 'war' is still on? :rolleyes: Why is it not in the news to include foreign TV channels? What is the latest? This 'war' reminds me of Pink Floyd's lyrics

It is still going on? :shocked: It has dropped from the headlines.

I am afraid you make some judgmental errors. 1. India does make fine highway and that too under threat. The Delaram-Zaranj Highway in Afghanistan is one example of excellent work done by India. 2. Have you visited other foreign countries like Bangladesh, Thailand, or Tokyo in Japan...

Changing wives is a flavour that is popular in the West. Good example of eternal family life and keeping the Christian vows

Trade fluctuates depending on the demand and requirement. It is a commercial equation and not a political one to indicate 'friendship'. India has huge issues with China, but check the trade figures. ******************** I want to make it clear to all that this forum treats all as equal to...

The only thing in Russian I know is Ты хуй, which I am told is a bad word.

There is another thread that indicates that Russia may/ has deployed nuclear missiles in Crimea. Things are getting dangerous. Please do not write in a language which appears gibberish to most out here. The language to be used is English and if you have to write in some unknown language...

As being displayed in posts above in succession.

All chaps in the photos look like Putin. Are Finns Slavs?

Nothing spent on unproductive return is peanuts. Is maintaining a military peanuts? India too has much bucks to give aid to others? I am sure you did not know that since you think you are the sole humanitarian folks. Forget it.

Yes, you can manage as you have always managed.....crisis to crisis but never out of it. Britain is browned off to the gills and are wanting to opt out. You cannot make anything that is competitive since your labour has high expectation and high wages. It will always be Asia that will outpace...

The EU has its own financial problems. And Greece is an albatross around EU's neck. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/18/upshot/is-this-the-day-of-reckoning-for-greece-and-europe.html?ref=topics&_r=0 In fact, Europe is in a mess.

I just hope and pray that this Conflict in Ukraine comes to an end soon. It is causing great discomfort around the world and here at the DFI too.
