You guys are lucky! In the west coast you have Dungeness Crabs. They're big, tasty and you can catch them at piers, no need to go deep.

US General Michael Minihan predicts war with China could begin in 2025. As China continues to grow its military, the chance of a war is ever more likely. China's defence budget is growing, sitting at more than $200 billion USD. However this number doesn't include the whole picture. R&D...

Damn I'm jealous. Had BBQ lobster once. It was delicious. Yeah crabbing is insanely fun. Just don't try it at St Kilda pier or any of the piers near the city. Hell, even Queenscliff pier was bad last time I went. Sea lice everywhere. They eat the bait in seconds.

Yes. They also look like they have a lot of meat on them. The one's where I live are the same species but I've heard that those that enter the bay don't pack a lot of meat. However, every year fisherman go crazy for them at the piers at the edges of the bay. So there must be some juicy ones.

Have you ever been crabbing? Every year in winter millions of giant spider crabs enter Port Phillip Bay. I've caught a lot of sand crabs and red shore crabs, but I really want to catch some spider crabs.

These religious/philosophical discussions are fun. Remember that this thread is for everything. But I definitely think an English-only thread for religion and philosophy is needed.

The ADF is set to receive its first MQ-4C Triton maritime surveillance UAV. Costing $180 million each, they are part of a $5 billion deal which includes lifetime maintenance. The addition of the Triton will mean that the ADF's P-8 Posidens will be able to focus on their primary purpose...

I agree that China has surpassed Russia. They are clearly trying to leverage their massive industry and economy to create an air force that can hold a candle to the USAF. But at the same time a huge chunk of the PLAAFs aircraft are either Russian or based on Russian platforms. The J-20 is a...

It has proven how important air superiority is and how Russia failed to make the switch to good E/O and precision guided bombs. After Azerbaijan knocked out Armenia's air defences in Karabakh, it was all over for Armenia. Whereas in Ukraine, Russia rushed in quick and suffered a lot of losses...

I think it has been blown out of proportion... The leaked data was far from top secret. I find it funny that these people leaked this information so that their nation's tanks are depicted more accurately in the game.

I think he's referring to the TFX mock-up which as you know is nothing like the prototype under construction. Not the Hürjet. Edit: unless you're talking about a TFX mock-up that somehow has been kept secret

Key points: Spy balloons can linger over a site for much longer Spy sattelites have many threats against them. Not only kinetic threats that can destroy them, but chemical, directed energy, microwave and even optical countermeasures, the latter being widely employed. The US Space Force has...

Probably got hit by a HAR-66 AP "Eşek Arısı" which was specifically designed for anti-personnel use against PKK. If not, some type of RPG.

PKK terrorists paid the price for not surrendering.

Nice to see that we're experimenting with inverted bows. Hopefully it leads to a "yerli Zumwalt", minus the issues which led to the cancellation of the program. Maybe something similar to KDDX. But highly unlikely, I don't think DzKK wants anything outside of the MILGEM project for the...

I just hope defence projects won't be delayed. All prospects of a Syria operation seem to be out the window.

Apparently it chased dolphins and ended up beaching itself which led to its death. Sounds like Orca behaviour, I don't think a Sperm whale would chase dolphins. But everything else points to it being a sperm whale. Maybe it was a rogue sperm whale which was driven to madness because it was...

Interesting. I never really thought great whites would venture into the Bosporus. Now that I think about it, it's a shame that there aren't whale sightings in the Bosporus. Though apparently there was a whale that would frequently harass ships near Istanbul around 1500 years ago...

Suburban sprawl would be a problem though. I think apartments are fine as long as they're built properly. We saw how some company's apartments survived perfectly.

Why add fuel to the fire? Turkic unity has significantly increased in the past few decades, especially due to the rise of the internet... Forget about these old wounds. Think of Turks from Northern Cyprus as Tasmanians. A Tasmanian can't be racist to Mainland Australians... But if Australia...
