Military Might

Ever since I was a little boy, I have been fascinated with airplanes, fighter jets, aircraft carriers, rockets, war, etc.

I once spent an hour on YouTube looking at videos of atomic weapons going off (mushroom clouds).

Are there any other enthusiasts on here?

If these links below are "cool" to you, then post your own links in reply!

Atomic Cannon - good stuff at :40 seconds

Javelin anti-tank
Time index 1:20 ... the **** thing ejects about 15 feet before the actual rocket motor ignites. This is so the enemy cannot get a lock on your position quite so easily...it seems like it was launched from some other point

Anti-ballistic missile ... missile! Good stuff at time index 2:20. It corkscrews like that to bleed off energy so it does not overshoot the target.
THAAD

Cool stuff.

Cool!

Hopefully does not have the same glitches as ED 209 had... LOL

Of course I am fascinated! Isn't it natural for guys to be obsessed with size and explosions?

Here is my contribution.

A railroad cannon.

Check out the massive reverberation time. This thing can probably pop eardrums in a large radius.

And finally, some fiction.

Nice!

I like the planet killer. Was that from "Titan AE" ?

This is from the game C&C Tiberium Wars. It could be quite interesting to see a TV series out of it.

Took me a minute...

Ohhh... Command and Conquer!


I played some of the earlier versions of this game. Been a long time!
