Tomb of the Unknowns, Arlington National Cemetry, Arlington VA


Tomb Guard Pfc. Michael Steiner marches 21 steps down the black mat behind the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery, Va. Twenty-one steps was chosen because it symbolizes the highest military honor that can be bestowed, the 21-gun salute. The Tomb of the Unknowns is guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and in any weather by Tomb Guard sentinels. The sentinels, all volunteers, are considered to be the best of the 3rd U.S. Infantry (The Old Guard), headquartered at Fort Myer, Va

Yeah its a good thing in my opinion that tech trasfers as smoothly as it does between the US and EU(keeps both our territories the world leader in military tech). The boeing x-45 and lockheeds darkstar looks promising.
Both those companies are building alot of differant types of UAV. I also read where the US and UK were doing a joint UAV project call the church hill. One of my CO's in the air force told me awhile back that the global hawk was already in testing to fire air to air missiles and would be fitted in the near future with raetheon AMRAAMS,FRAAM(ramjet missile),or the meteor which boeing is bringing to the US market from the EU.The Global hawk flies really high so an air-to-air long range engagment is feasible. We'll see if they can pull it off.

MiG-25

Re: World Armed Forces Pic Thread

more mig-25



A Cold War Era Soviet-built MiG-25 Foxbat was unearthed from a sand dune
near the Al Taqqadum airfield in Iraq in July-August 2003 by U.S. Air Force engineers. The wings
had been removed, intakes sealed and fuselage covered with camouflage netting before being buried
more than 10 feet beneath the Iraqi desert.
