Yay, I finally got one right.
Here's a question

What fighter was developed to defend the USSR from the American B-70 Valkrie and SR-71?

Mig 27??????

Edit.... I ment to say Mig 21... so what's a few digits amoung friends......LOL

I thnk it was the Mig 25, one of the fastest, if not the fastest production fighter of it's time. Very fast in a straight line, loussy for turns though.

Correct!
It was developed for a threat that never materialized. The MiG-25 was optimized for high altitude, high speed flight and using long range missiles. When the West first saw this fighter, rumors ran wild. They thought it had long range and good manuverability, so the F-15 was developed to meet the new threat.

Your turn

Hmmm... how about this one then. What was the name of the ship that engaged HMS Victory at Trafalgar, the one the fatal shot that killed Nelson came from?

was it the French ship Redoubtable?

Right you are Ave. HMS Victory was placed alongside a ship whose captain had decided the best way to defeat the British was to clear their decks with small arms fire and then board. Nelson was pretty much doomed from the start.

Alright, here's an easy one. Most of you should be able to get it.

My famous writings on war include the well quoted phrases 'know the enemy, know yourself, and your victory will be inevitable' and 'avoid strength, attack weakness'. My most famous publication has 13 chapters.

Which operation used the largest invasion force in WWII (ETO)? I am talking troops here folks.

Wild shot here..Operation Dragoon

Overlord?

The invasion of Russia, or was it the invasion of Berlin...... ????

Doh...well specifically I was talking allied invasion force. And it was Operation Husky (Sicily) with 180,000+ troops.

Seems like overkill to me.
