    Cobra Vs. Apache: What's The Difference Between These Military Helicopters? - SlashGear (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    At a cursory glance, the AH-1 Cobra and AH-64 Apache admittedly do look like barely-distinctive variations of the same idea. Both are tandem-cockpit attack helicopters optimized for delivering air-to-surface support fire via a plethora of rocket pods, a chin cannon, and wing-mounted anti-tank missiles. Both carry the attack helicopter "AH" Mission-Design-Series designation, and both are widely known to perform overlapping missions ranging from close air support to anti-armor taskings. However, b

    Why The US Military Cleverly Built A Drone Specifically To Get Shot Down - SlashGear (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Within the realm of today's conflicts, drones have become increasingly associated with kinetic targeting. Every step of the targeting cycle, from reconnaissance through surveillance to munition delivery, has emerged as a key arena for drone employment. However, one of the most ingenious early uses of an unmanned system was considerably stranger. This drone's mission wasn't to deliver a munition, but to deliberately fly into the engagement envelope of an enemy surface-to-air missile. Throughout t

    5 Fighter Jets With The Most Powerful Radar Systems - SlashGear (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Across the complex technical aspects of electronic warfare, perhaps the most abstruse sub-section is that of radio frequency theory. From its emergence in the latter stages of the Second World War, radio detection and ranging, or radar, has become a widely implemented aspect of numerous components of everyday life, from miniature millimeter-wave radar sensors inside smart toilets to pulse-Doppler units that track the trajectory and velocity of balls in professional sports. It's this broad range

    Do You Need To Sharpen Both Sides Of A Lawn Mower Blade? - SlashGear (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A conventional mower blade has one defined cutting edge. That is the only edge that needs to remain sharp for the proper functioning of the mower. This means there's no need to sharpen both sides of a lawn mower blade, just its single cutting edge. That said, it does not mean the overall shape and structure of the rest of the blade is unimportant. The temptation when sharpening is to grab a grinder, knock the burr down to a roughly eyeballed edge, and leave behind a "near enough is good enough"

    Can You Use J-B Weld On A Cracked Engine Block? - SlashGear (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Few things sound the death knell of an engine as clearly as a cracked engine block. The signs are usually obvious – daily puddles of coolant spreading across a garage floor, the tell-tale rainbow sheen of oil appearing where it shouldn't, or a worrying trail of sounds and smells — the sweet tang of burning coolant, or the staccato beat of rough idling and misfires. All represent symptoms pointing toward impending breakdown, a very expensive repair, or complete replacement. It is no surprise, the
