CV32 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Simple question, what is depicted in this photo? Quote
TonyE Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I know the answer but I still like, "stone-age single re-entry vehicle payloads of ICBMs?" Quote
eclipse_trb Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 V .1 of the travelosity traveling gnome Quote
Warhorse64 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 It looks rather like battleship main gun ammunition in shipping containers. PS --- I am simultaneously chastised and delighted by the file name you gave to the photo ... Quote
CV32 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Posted February 26, 2009 PS --- I am simultaneously chastised and delighted by the file name you gave to the photo ... Haha, tsk tsk, Warhorse. Quote
Akula Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Those look a lot like 12" or 14" coastal defence mortar shells. Quote
CV32 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Posted February 26, 2009 No correct answers thus far. Quote
eclipse_trb Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Just a guess from what tony said could they be test warheads for ICBM's? You know like how dummy bombs are made of concrete cores sometimes (still make a hell of a hole in something if dropped from high enough) Quote
noxious Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Okay, joke answer : toxic waste barrels, with construction/signalization cones topped by American WW2 helmets </joke> Very old and decrepit early TACAN antennas ? (nope, not that) Quote
eclipse_trb Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 I still think its a prototype one of these Quote
Akula Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 mines I think you are right mack, those very well could be aerial dropped sea mines. Quote
CV32 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 Nobody is correct, but somebody is close. Quote
noxious Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Nobody is correct, but somebody is close. Okay, V1/V2 engines ? Can't get Pennemunde out of my head for some reason when I look at that pic. Quote
