Back in the cold war, everytime there was a 'world crisis', everyone's attention went to how this could lead to the Cold War becoming hot.

[@peterking2651]

I was a Chieftain crewman. My buddy served with a British locating regiment, they watched the Soviet artillery shots, and calculated the guns position before they could move. Then a MLRS battery would respond by destroying the grid square (1sq Km) they sat in.

[@seangleason8674]

That's so cool, I'd love to see an episode on a crewman, like the responsibilities and day to day life of a crewman

I was expecting to see Project Pluto on the American side and the Tsar Bomba on the Soviet, but considering one was too horrifying and the other too impractical, they didn't really count since they didn't go into production. (thankfully)

[@rainbowappleslice]

Yeah project Pluto was absolutely horrifying. I’m so happy those aren’t active nuclear weapons

[@nertle]

@எவனோ ஓருவன் tsar bomba was just too big to use and yield was too high

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

The T-55 was armed with a 100mm cannon, not 115mm. The only tank i can remember that used the 115mm was the T-62's. Also, the Chieftain wasnt so great in protection against the 100mm. The T-55 had worse armor in general, but at the time, armor was easy to bypass with HEAT-FS and APDSFS. And another note, by 1964 the USSR was already rolling out the T-64A, which has a 125mm cannon, and much better protection than any american or british tank at the time as the allied forces were mostly just M48's and similar models.

Ok there’s some big inaccuracies to address here. During the Korean War we had the M-14 select fire riffle that shot the comparable 7.62 x51 ammunition while the AK-47 shot 7.62 x39. The reason our special forces used captured AKs is they could take ammo off dead enemy troops behind enemy lines since they couldn’t get supply lines of 7.62 nato

[@startingbark0356]

Also AK-47 was a weapon even if you tried to make it stop firing it would cuz it was so reliable

The F-4 was a unicorn of an airplane, equally beloved by all branches that used it and equally capable of performing almost any role vs. a platform specifically designed for it.

The F-35 is just the latest example of their futile attempt to make lightning strike the same spot twice.
