6 rolls of gaffer tape and it'll be good as new.

So that's how the "Flying Can Openers " got their name ;)

Is this the new "Caption Competition" thread?.................

CoffmanStarter 30th Sep 2014 08:26

Wander00 ... Bob IS that desperate for a win :p

Don't worry, it'll buff out.



Well, somebody had to say it.

onetrack 30th Sep 2014 10:05

Ahhh, well ... look at it this way. It could have been a lot worse. It could have damaged the rocket.

I've never understood the phrase "near miss"?

Surely it is a miss that's a near hit.

Martin the Martian 30th Sep 2014 10:08

I guess near miss is not quite as disconcerting as being told that the airliner you were flying on had a near hit with another airliner.:ooh:

goudie 30th Sep 2014 10:29

Does anyone know the story behind this near miss, I mean near hit?

Silly answers welcome!

Boudreaux Bob 30th Sep 2014 11:31

Caption Contest.....errrrr not intentionally.

Accuracy counts in Warfare but it also helps if things go "Bang!" when they are supposed to unless one is just merely sending messages I guess.

maliyahsdad2 30th Sep 2014 11:34

That must be a missile rather than a hitile.

During shelling of positions of Ukrainian armed forces by Russians a rocket of Russian multiple rocket launcher system ‘Uragan’ [Hurricane] hit the vehicle but did not explode. The shelling took place near the settlement of Dmytrivka in Donetsk blast.
Russian rocket hit Ukrainian vehicle and did not explode | Life in Ukraine. Live, @ first hand.

:ok:

Just This Once... 30th Sep 2014 13:44

That is not the bit of the rocket that is supposed to go bang. The payload may have been delivered as advertised and went bang, or is a payload type that is designed to wait around before going bang.

The bit shown has to land somewhere.

Unless it has a long delayed-action fu.................
