Almost a decade later...

Someone noticed back in 2006 that large blocks are verbatim copies from the cia.gov source. I'll have some time in a few days to help, but if anyone has time sooner, please feel free. Cheers, Older and ... well older (talk) 00:47, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

@Filas312: Per WP:MILPOP, you need a number of references that prove that this game's usage of this tech is notable. Elisfkc (talk) 20:19, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The picture in "Development" should be the lede

I think the picture in the "development" section is the most illustrative picture. The article would be much more interesting with that picture at the top of the page. The current header photos are misleading, because they don't tell you anything about picking up people! I assumed the article was about catching the film from spy satellites because of the lede photos!

The problem is I can't figure out a way to do that without majorly changing the look, does anybody have any suggestions? Ninjalectual (talk) 06:06, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WWII use

John Masters, in his second autobiographical book, The Road Past Mandalay, describes the pickup system that they, as chindits, relied on to return gliders and evacuate wounded. It could be a source for filling in some of the earlier history. There is not too much more to say, except that it was an essential component of the plan to operate behind Japanese lines. From what he said, it worked well until they were ordered to hold a fixed position, which allowed time for the Japanese forces to position large anti-aircraft guns, which made the aerial supply system untenable. --AJim (talk) 00:15, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
