sbst275 SG

Correct, the AB may not even have the actual no of planes in war..

Temujin SG

That may be correct, the planes survives while the flats with people are destroyed by the enemy.

to ford water during ww2 a bailey bridge was used......it is basically a floating bridge....with advances in techonolgy i wont be surprised if it has been improved.
And how is it done?the same way snow shoes work...this is done by displacement...see pri sch science about it.
as for the ability to transport troops across water......i think with have alot of them ampi landing craft

SibeiSuayKia SG

that means even more?? no. of planes?

True, no-one talks about the boring stuff, everyone expects such issues to sort themselves out automatically (not sexy lah). Operation Overlord (Normandy, Jun 6, 1944) has Mulberry harbours and PLUTO, if that tickles your fancy see

or start you own forum.. you be alone by your self I think.. Ha! Ha!, kidding!

More interested if SAF has beach defences suppression firepower. Nope, your Primus cannot swim and fire at same time. Interestingly don't see anything in USMC investory which adequately fits this role either.

A Bailey bridge is a molduar bridge which old timers Cbt Engineers will remember (do we still use them?).

sbst275 SG

You are stupid or what? There are oth ways as if the runway is damaged, it is gone

Temujin SG

No resup during my field training when still NSF.

If real situation, no resup, no ammo, POL, food. We just LPPL, use universal round. Rolling Eyes

Thanks to the higher up people, you don't need to fix bayonet on your SAR21 as there is no such thing in a modern war.

How to blow up the causeway ? new or old is not the easy. learn from the Iraq how hard it is. And even blow, how to make use of it.

Also why you alway think bridge only, have told you can be rafting operations, people here also show you so much picture of rafts.

Also why you alway look at causeway which is the widest of the channel ! Even tiger and elephant don't choose causeway to swim over lah !

baer SG

The floating bridge is (as your URL pointed to) is a ribbon bridge which floats etc.

The bailey bridge is a modular stiff SOB which has to be constructed by hand.

storywolf SG

Baer is correct, that is a ribbon bridge ( a floating bridge).

A bailey bridge is not a floating bridge, but more of a modular fixed bridge.

SnowFlag SG

Agreed. This thread have to be closed. Mr. Green

storywolf SG

Snowflag, all these equipment have been declassified for over 10 years so chilli it.

'It is a corvette when you ask the Treasury for money, a frigate when it is launched, a destroyer when it enters service, a cruiser when it goes to war, but only a corvette if it gets sunk'.

LazerLordz SG

Although OpSec is important, but we should not unduly attract too much attention to those phishers who might be looking for something more than red herring.If you feel that a piece of info is classified, PM the guy or the Mod.Do not blare it out here like an airhorn.

SnowFlag SG

Read closely my post above. Do I blare it out like an airhorn?
