Yes, certain of them are…….. fixated, let’s say.
However, the India vs Pak, PLA vs the west, Rus vs the west, etc here have me avoiding certain threads (and ignoring certain posters) like they were Borg!
That said, I do appreciate the very wide spread of views, nations, and viewpoints on the Key forums. While I may disagre with many of them (and think others are crackers), they do let me see how other nations are thinking and how they see things.
Remember Sun Tzu’s saying about knowing yourself and your opponent (potential or actual)?

Badger: I started out on Commonwealth Navies but the one mindedness of a certain member forced me away after that I created my board where everyone could openly discuss their opinions freely and not get ridiculed for thinking differently to the main stream of members.

Guys, I also post on this forum:
http://p216.ezboard.com/bwarships1discussionboards
and we need more Latin American/African Navy participation. I recently asked if there was interest in such a section, and while the response was generally favourable, I was informed that a couple of years ago they cancelled their Latin American Navies section due to a general lack of posting or information on anything other than ship transfers from the UK, etc.
If some of you show up, and start posting info and starting discussions, we might get the L.A.N section back. One note, this board is more tightly regulated than this one, and flame-wars and uncivil behavior are not welcome. For most of you, this would not be a problem, as you are good people.
These are the sections currently open:
Battleship Vs Battleship: The Discussion Board For The True Queen Of The Seas.
Should Battleships Be Back In Service?: Will Future Fire Support Programs Be Enough? Or Do We Need The Battlewagons Back?
The United States Navy: “Don’t Tread On Me” The historical along with current aspects of the largest navy in the world.
The Royal Navy: All About The Royal Navy: Past, Present And Future
The European Navies: The navies of Europe
The Commonwealth Navies: The navies of nations spawned by Great Britain.
The Asian Navies: Navies of the Western Pacific Nations.
Aircraft Carriers: The “New” Queen Of The Seas, The Largest Most Powerful Warships Ever Designed
Fighting Ships Of The World: Surface Ships From Every Era
Submarines: Submarines of every nation and era.
Designing A Navy/Ship: You know how to build a ship better then the designers, show it here.
The Land Forces: Armies of the World
The Air Forces: Air Forces of the World.
The Naval Fiction Board: Have a tall tale? Possibly thoughts on a book? A great place to get a first impression of your idea.
The Politics Of War: Enter At Your Own Risk!! Very Lightly Moderated
Naval Help: Have a question about a Navy or a Naval-related area? Try here.
The Asian Navies section is usually where the Indian Ocean Navies are discussed.
There is also access to a technical section called NavWeap (naval weapons), where a lot of detailed info is available.
Just thought you might like to take a look.

Jokingly we call walkarounds of ships, “swimarounds”… and no we haven’t done any of them to this date, though it’s in our plans… 😀

We have great plans for FIDAE 06… Lets see if we can get hold of an airline advertiser…
You know, one of the best ways to learn about new military equipment is by users like yourself who go to these expositions and provide pcitures of the new material that you saw there.
I look forward to seeing your material!!
Cheers

Can’t wait to see it mate, keep up the good work
By: Hammer - 8th August 2005 at 13:04
P-95… hehehe sorry mate, yeah I love them and Barzil isn’t the only user of them now I hear
Chile, Argentina (during the Falklands War…) and Gabon (some peoples say Angola too, but this is unconfirmed…)
Go to the “Busca” (search) section of BaseMilitar and select “P-95” from the first form (“Aeronaves”/Aircraft) you’ll see what we know about all airframes that were put in service by the Brazilian Air Force… A complete walkaround is in our plans

“P-91”? the current MP aircraft in Brazilian Airforce Service is the P-95 “Bandeirante Patrulha” (EMB-111). Embraer is pushing the hypotetical “P-99” MPA, derived from the ERJ-145 but still this product seems to atract few fans or suitors inside the Air Force. Some weeks ago there was some sort of discussion regarding an E-Jet derived MPA aircraft (read the news item on the “Notes” section o BaseMilitar) possibly this is some possibility derived from the recente removal of the Embraer ERJ-145 airframe from the ACS competition in the US for being “too small and light”… E-170s and E-90 airframes are being considered now amongst airframes from other sources…
I hope I answered your concerns adequately. 😉

Hey Hammer…great site. I specially liked your pics of the LAAD 2005 defense show. Please take a look at that link since a lot of pictures are not appearing even when you click on them.
Keep up the terrific work.
