Sad, CNA reporting a UH-1H crashed and put up a picture of an AH-1 COBRA instead of a Huey.....
Sheesh.

erm, its very common. In the aviation field. Like calling a 757 a 777 etc.
-
If Straits Times can call a MP5 a MACHINE GUN and a shotgun a rifle, I guess this is nothing.
-
yeah, just like that guy who complained in STOMP that he saw a police officer carrying a machinegun (MP5) unsightly

How do you describe a group of soldiers or insurgents armed with automatic rifles?
SG civilian media will desvribe them as being 'heavily-armed'
However, the military people would describe this same group of men as 'ightly-armed' -
Anyone carrying just a rocket launcher would be termed "a one-man army".

Its all relative. Compared to a bunch of unarmed civiians of course these people are heavily armed. But compared to a combined arms division...Originally posted by moca:How do you describe a group of soldiers or insurgents armed with automatic rifles?

IIRC they reported the chopper snagged power lines.

On the paper it show a UH-1 do you have the orginal picture with the AH-1Originally posted by Obersturmfuhrer:My friend, they've already changed the image to that of the crashed chopper. Prior to that, it was the picture of an airborne AH-1 COBRA. I dun need to look closely. -
22mm
-
I think it was supposed to be .22, but somehow it became 22mm.
Not all our guys who write our news are military buffs, maybe the orginal writers heard that a "Huey" crashed, though it was the "Huey Cobra" part, and simply googled and put up whatever image he could find on it.
