It's not the same picture. - Can't you see in the first one, Britain gets a good start, but then in the second you can see the Germans and Spanish Catching it.

The third shows the Germans slick overtaking skills to outmanouver both and take the lead while the forth shows a tightly packed field just behind GB.

Then if you look closely at 5, you can see how the Brits panic when the going gets tough, as they start swinging the back end round.

Then the last photo expertly captures the moment where Britain collides with Uzbeckistan, as the rest of the field hurtles past them both....


True story.


:cool:

Oh you know what.. If I turn my computer sideways, close one eye and hope on all 3 feet I do see it.

My bad.  Good race that... Poor Uzbeks... The British just ruin everything.

The Uzbek's have shown all land locked countries that it's quite feasible to have a submarine force. Despite some obvious disadvantages if a nation puts it's mind to it they can be overcome.

e.g. as this picture shows movement across rough terrain was a problem

Image

As shown here this was overcome with the introduction of wheels , a simple but quite brilliant modification .

Image

Despite this advance, one of the key elements of a submarines abilities, i.e. the ability to submerge, was still proving to be a seemingly insurmountable obstacle as this picture demonstrates.

Image

However once again the Uzbek's use of simple but brilliant logic solved the problem. Each submarine was given a detachment of young naval pioneers

Image

When the order to "dive" was given these brave but ultimately expendable pioneers simply buried the submarine.

Image

A bonus benefit from this marvellous outside the box thinking was that the submarine became virtually impervious to attacks from depth charges, land mines however have become a problem but one that given their ingenuity the Uzbek's will eventually solve.

Brits would have walked it if the race had been held in the Solent as usual.  Fookin' Newfies had to kick up a fuss about hosting. :no

Most fearsome Navy in Central Asia by a long chalk.  They can tunnel circles around those Kyrgyz poofs.  :buttrock

Don't take the pi$$, I lived in Uzbekistan for 2 years (no joke), used to see them out training in the desert.

Wish I could be like you and have time for all this research. However, as I don't, I sure appreciate guys like you who can.
