It is the lack of intelligence from US part of what will work and what will not work and low technical standards of Ukranains wasting time on obsolete things. it means they have no idea what is advanced.

For once i have to agree with you.

Didn’t know the F-16 had two 20mm cannons !

Very old M2K config also. Nvm.

This is the actual reaction, in GIF form , that Putin had to the statement that you just made. Probably the most famous of the Putin Gifs

It is not up to you, the US or Poland or Europe to decide if Russia should view these installations as a threat. The fact is that they DO. So when you put up the installation, you are knowingly making a provocation.

I have to disagree with the Poland part. It is THEIR problem wether to install or not ABM weapons on their territory (SRBMs would be everyone problem as offensive weapons).

La gabegie, ça n’a pas de prix!*

While defending a raise of the defense budget toward 2%, the Fr. President assisted proudly at an anti-UAV demonstration using birds of prey to intercept drones…

*Gabegie is priceless!

You know what? It works fine! (despite future former president still looking ridiculous)

I couldn’t agree more ! Exellent post.

F35 revolution is about stealth & sensor & communication being widespread to your basic frontline jetfighter…In great numbers. An F35 might not be very maneuvrable and somewhat unimpressive against former gen aircrafts, but clearly that will not count very much. I think SU35, T50s, J20s etc don’t stand an chance against an integrated allied NATO fleet of F35. It will not be a one vs one dogfight in real life.

When the F35 will come in numbers, all the “wow” maneuvring & powerfull stuff of the Sukhoi for instance will be completely irrelevant. It will be a new paradigm.

Wide spread in great numbers mean L16 (or successor). MADL is afik limited to 4 essets. And we have absolutely no clue about chinese or russians datalinks, networking etc. I wouldn’t dismiss them.

Where did Andraxxus get Mirage 2000 Cl (Cz in french i guess)?

Not a scoop. We (I) have been discussing the issue before. Magneto-resistive damper should do the trick (just like in heavy duty clutch).

When?
