RANDOM BABBLE

I just got into Metal Earth, those tiny metal model kits...

I got the Chopper Gunner scorestreak, which is the AH-64 Apache. I had a lot of trouble with it because my tweezers and pliers were AWFUL, but I'll get more models and build them.

The ones on my list are the B-2A Spirit, F-15, and the A-10 Warthog.

The theme is that all of these are the jets seen in CoD that are available from Metal Earth. I hope that they release more of the helicopters and jets soon. Because some of them look so cool.

I might get the F-22 because I think that's what Starscream is base off of.

Red Color: What is This Missile on Israeli AH-64 Apache? - Technology Org

Red Color: What is This Missile on Israeli AH-64 Apache? - Technology Org

Typically, a Hellfire guided missile has a yellow band to indicate that the projectile contains an explosive warhead. But now, the Israel Defense Forces demonstrated similar rockets marked with a red band instead of yellow.

Israeli military operations against Hamas militants have been ongoing for a month. The Israel Defense Forces has previously discreetly released numerous photos and videos of its forces. This time, a photo has now been released of an AH-64D Apache with an AGM-114 Hellfire laser-guided missile marked with a peculiar red band.

This particular photo of a Hellfire missile with a red band was recently posted online. The pictured AH-64D Apache has 4 missiles in total, but one of them has a red stripe to distinguish it from the others, which are marked in conventional yellow color. The latter is the typical color of American rockets and indicates that there are explosive materials inside. But the red stripe is “more mysterious”, the journalists write.

Amid increased online discussions regarding the potential meaning of the red-banded Hellfire, the Israeli Air Force discreetly removed the image. In its place, a very similar photo was posted, depicting a different AH-64D lifting off with equipped conventional Hellfires.

Notably, the newly displayed missile had two yellow stripes, differing from the more common three stripes.

What could the red band on a Hellfire missile mean?

The red band on the Hellfire missile may indicate an AGM-114N warhead. The missile itself is designed to destroy closed targets. A thermobaric warhead is better suited for defeating enemy targets hidden within caves, bunkers, or tunnel networks.

The principle of operation of a thermobaric warhead is based on the use of oxygen in the surrounding air, which creates a much more powerful explosive wave. Also, higher temperatures deal more damage to the target.

The authors believe that the thermobaric warhead could be very useful for the Israel Defense Forces fighting against tunnels in the Gaza Strip. A thermobaric warhead can destroy more adversaries hiding in a tunnel than a conventional warhead.

Another version of the missile with a red stripe is the AGM-114M with a high-explosive warhead. It is more suitable for destroying lightly armored targets, small boats, or poorly protected bunkers. However, it is possible that Israel has a special version of the Hellfire missile in its arsenal, too.

COD Characters as Different Military Aircrafts

———

Soap -> A-10 Thunderbolt: Known for its loud and heavy gatling gun, outstanding close air support and its durability against damage. Its fierce and accurate air defense marks it as one of the best support aircrafts to exist.

Ghost -> B-2 Spirit: Advanced stealth tactics and its ability to easily evade enemy detection to reign down its deadly force makes this bomber, a ghost in the sky.

Roach -> F-14 Tomcat: Despite its air superiority and esteemed long range capabilities, the uncommon design of its “variable-sweep wings” marks it as the most distinctive and intriguing aspect of the aircraft.

Gaz -> AH-64 Apache: Designed for high survivability and equipped with advanced technological targeting components makes it one of the best air support aircrafts in active service.

Price -> P-51 Mustang: An oldie but a goodie; was the star of the show in its prime with its outstanding range of speed, maneuverability, durability, and it’s skill to adapt quickly to different conditions.

Laswell -> E-3 Sentry: Designated for surveillance, communications, and command; it’s your eyes in the sky.

Rudy -> KC-135 Stratotanker: You can always count on this aerial refueling tanker. When in need of support when you’re down, it’s got your back, always loyal to its allies.

Alejandro -> F-15 Eagle: Was built for extreme power, resilience, agility, and to display its aggressive dog-fighting capabilities proving it better than the feared oppositions. Never lost a fight protecting what it stood for.

Valeria -> F-22 Raptor: This jet’s extreme capability to fly nearly completely invisible through radars makes it dangerous in its attacks. The state of the art technological advances allows it to fool anyone who comes across, creating a perfect chance to strike and claim victory.

Graves -> V-22 Osprey: Although its dodgy components can wear the reliability of this aircraft thin, it’s service is still exceptional.

Fight Fire with Fire

[thegeopolitica]

China is trying to balance the United States’ hegemony in the global defence market and World geopolitics. The United States is the world’s biggest manufacturer of defence goods, dominating the international marketplace, but this is continuously challenged by China, which regards the United States as its principal competitor.

China is also attempting to enter the international defence industry by manufacturing reasonably priced defence products that it hopes to sell to countries whose governments cannot buy state-of-the-art goods from the United States or Europe. The world was taken aback by the United States’ flawless ability to combat air-to-surface and air-to-air battles with the Apache AH-64 attack helicopter.
