In 2017, the MQ-8B will receive a mine-detection sensor for use in littoral waters called the Coastal Battlefield Reconnaissance and Analysis (COBRA). The COBRA is designed to detect naval mines at a safe distance from a Littoral Combat Ship operating in coastal waters, and also has the capability to locate submarines through acoustic detection if they are on or near the surface.[16] COBRA takes the place of the Fire Scout's usual EO/IR sensor.[17] [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] |

Quoting: Psychedelic Mashed Potatoes It would be interesting to see Syria, Greece, and Egypt all come at Turkey at once. That would be a weird escalation of events.

If the Pasios prophecy is coming true, Turkish ships sink real soon.. but according to him it's not Greece that sinks them..

I have friends in Turkey.I'll call them right now to see situation from first hand. Quoting: BadAssKicker Please. Ask them what information if any they are getting about the supposed incident between the Greek and Turkish ships. So far everything I've read Indicated that the Turk meko 200 took the worst of the damage from the one incident. Judging by how long it took turkey to even mention it, I'm going to say that this is most likely the case. Sounds like both ships were damaged and the Turkish one more, but the Greek had to be tugged into port, so... It was a kamikaze mission, I think. wrong!
