...that make them look like cows. I was kinda amazed at the article about the military thinking that a herd of cows running down the battlefield at 40-50mph+ Wouldn't be suspicious at all to the enemy .
But anyway, I'm still waiting for all the previous promises e.g the gunsight that sees round corners for the army .

Cornershot?

Anyway, MI6 and Q have had this technology for years installed on their Aston Martin Vanishes

They may give the game away, but great at showing where mines may be......

What's even more amazing is that They've been fighting in the middle east since the 80's-90's and they still haven't learned there are hardly/no cows in the middle east .
To tell you the truth I was in udder disbelief that article was true and then I saw the second picture . Good Job Military

I got into Top Secret! some years ago, even now it makes me roll around on the floor laughing like a drain!
I can never ever hear the Jaws theme tune again without thinking of the French resistance in the cow disguise
To quote The Torch "mmmm yea, oh yeah, mmm, mmm, why are we always in such a bloody hurry all the time? Mmmmmmmm"

I haven't watched jaws but i've watched twilight and that's scarier than anything Jaws can do

Yeah, well BAE Systems (note 1, they removed the "British" reference nearly a decade ago) have been going down the pan for decades. Amalgamating the aircraft production companies killed any competitive nature from the business (note 2), and amazing levels of greed in the upper echelons of the international behemoth that resulted, and incompetent procurement in the MoD has led to the situation now.

Anyway, on the aircraft side, only the Nimrod's been cancelled. It was BAES who shut down the civilian side - and it was their fault they weren't producing competitive aircraft (I refer back to note 2). For the last 20 years, the military side appears to have survived on lucrative middle eastern contracts (one thing they were better at than the competition!).
