If there is something that Hollywood has taught us with their implacable
suites remakes and updates feminazi classic films beloved, did newer is not
necessarily synonymous with a superior product. Strange as it may seem at
first glance, some pieces of military equipment also fit into that category.
As with modern blockbusters Hollywood, speed, visual, and fireworks and #
8221; the latest military machines are not always technically impressive.
New military technology often only complements older hardware, not to
replace it completely.
This article shows five pieces of military equipment over 45 years who are
still performing satisfactorily their obligations under the 2010 s. They
will be presented from newest to oldest.
1. F-15 Eagle (1972)
Since 1972, video games increased from & # 8216; & # 8216 Pong; to & #
8216; Grand Theft Auto V & # 8216;. But the F-15 Eagle of the cell and the
order is still largely unchanged.
The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is a tactical fighter aircraft that was
designed in the late 1960's (with it's first fully functional flight
achieved in 1972) to obtain and maintain the white air supremacy and
oppress all other (probably Marxist and Muslim) 1970 fiends from heaven who
dared search & # 8216; & # 8217 equality;. This destruction of jet toy box
is like Floyd Mayweather combat aircraft, currently unbeaten in aerial
combat with over 100 wins to zero losses in more than 40 years of service
between different national air forces.
Although technologically surpassed by improved stealth F-22 Raptor in the
US Air Force Eagle remains a fast and powerful weapon, and the army of the
United States are reluctant to send an excessive amount of F-15s either the
scrapheap or Arizona Boneyard to 2030 s. It long service life, with her
impeccable air-destruction rate, means that it will probably be in history
as the best overall fighter jet ever produced.
2. M61 Vulcan (1959)
The M61 Vulcan cannon is a rotating body of six which was dishing 6000 rpm
(yup, no typo there) Mayhem 20mm since 1959, or before most Americans had
never heard of John F. Kennedy. Although generally attached to fixed-wing
aircraft for practical reasons (high speed requires high flight speed of
light), the Vulcan is the public's best known for it's use extreme overkill
in ground combat by stars of Jesse Ventura in Predator action cinema, and
Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2.
It is clear that if you want to be an action hero to a state governor, you
better have experience with & # 8221 old without pain, the same exact M61
which was used in the two films. Don worry, you do not hurry, because there
is nothing on the horizon that seems to replace the weapon for it's
destination.
Note: If the US domestic terrorist organization Black Lives Matter took
possession of an M61 Vulcan, there would be many more police victims in
this stage compared to 0.0 inflicted by the Terminator.
3. B-52H (1952)
The B-52 Stratofortress or BUFF (Big Ugly Fat Fucker) and gifts to ISIS
2017 marks the 65th anniversary of the maiden flight of the Stratofortress,
and this aircraft Grandpa has no intention of going on Medicaid and by
resigning for some time to come. This time of the Cold War bombers long
operational range, giant useful load capacity, and relatively low operating
costs keep alive as a major player in American military power until 2045,
an incredible 90 years after s introduction official of the US Air Force in
1955.
Chuck Berry to a hypothetical President Chelsea Clinton (please Lord don t
get there), the B-52 seen everything by the time s finally due to run the
engines for good. Impressive, and also a little disconcerting that we seem
long since reached a technology summit in aircraft capabilities.
4. AK-47 (1946)
Designed at the end of & # 8216; The Great Patriotic War (Russian name for
the Second World War), the AK-47 was intended to serve nationally as a
local response to Nazi Germany's StG 44 (the world first assault rifle s)
and fill Mikhaïl Kalachnikov's personal desire to deter any future
conquests of his homeland; basically, to achieve peace through the power of
upper & # 8220 fire.
So far, his plan has worked in another ward or Napoleon (literally) type
Hitler to invade Russia, but the AK-47 has hardly been the peacemaker of
almost any other part of the globe. The raw destructive power of weapons,
ease of use and reliability in less than ideal conditions made the world's
most popular assault rifle, now over 70 years since it was introduced in
1946.
It is likely to be seen around the world on a regular basis, in conflicts,
big and small, for many decades to come.
5. M114 Howitzer (1942)
Taiwan and South Korea still maintain Capitalist M114 howitzers in their
arsenal to help protect their country from their warring communist blood
brothers, China and North Korea.
The era of World War M114 howitzer continued to remain outstanding for more
years than many men can expect to catch his breath on this Earth & # 8212;
75 years and counting.
Although he was twice surpassed in overall performance and mobility by the
US military's M198 (1979) and now the M777 (2005), long-range artillery and
the high degree of accuracy (when it comes with precise coordinates) means
that many other armed forces in the world see no inherent need to retire
all arsenals M114 they own. Several developed countries like South Korea
and Taiwan is no exception.
Someday, somewhere, and somewhere, the M114 will fire s final shell. But
until that day, a piece of military equipment World War II is still
considered practical for bombarding a fixed position in 2010's is quite a
claim to fame.
