Is this frak for real?One Admiral had tried to describe its capability by saying a submarine in Winchester could use that sonar to track a bus going around Hyde Park Corner in London. That comparison wasn’t true, but the real capability of 2076 was a closely-guarded secret. Tracking buses at that range was child’s play compared with what it could really do.
Could someone explain me term HVDUAPCFSDS? Is it variation of APFSDS? And why use that against organic target? Wouldn't HE splinter shell or HEAT be more effective against such target?
What do we think about russian politician quoting Putin in that situation? And how in the Hell did Secretary Gates even got to work in the White House when he says stupid things as he does in there? Even I could come up with other ways to say the same thing without getting kicked out: "I feel it to be my duty to point out that we haven't followed all the regulations in this incident. I recommend we'll take this situation more open mindedly, and if at all possible, try establish communications before taking any other aggressive actions."
Otherwise I'm really liking this story. Some of you can have fun with details of the military hardware and looking for possible mistakes author has made. So what do the rest of you think about it?
