  5. Israel would still level Iran

  6. Once they get an advanced air defense system this conflict will change

  7.  @trumpforever6706  Actually you are both trolls, LOL First 1600 tanks a year is impossible for one very simple reason Russia's only company for making tanks is Uralvagonzavod and their ouput can barely make T-90 and T-14 as it currently stands

  8. What you heard is that political fall out for Ecuador is going to massive for breaching international law Countries may start breaking off all ties with them as well pull business out of that country if they cant respect the sovereignty of embassy's under international law

  10.  @Alcatraz-UK  Yup Ukraine has both models now. The ATACMS can carry submunitions of a single 500lbs warhead For the Kerch bridge, 6 ATACMS with the 500bls warhead will be enough to take it out Ukraine has been successfully destroying air defense equipment in recent months so the Kerch bridge has no protection so its only matter of time now

  11. So much for the mighty Russian bear

  12.  @charlesyang8146  You dont need resources you simply need presence You honestly think that Russia would have attack Ukraine if it was part of NATO South Korea is backed by the US and North Korea backed by China That simply presence keeps things from escalting

  14. Its called a start, 18 are good for now ,but as more and more crews get trained, Germany can increase the amount. There are 200 tanks in storage or inactive in Europe The Rheinmetall is working as fast as they can to refurbish tanks for Ukraine

  15. Its more than that Ukraine has been the trifecta for the US First , Russia has been forced used a lot of its EW capabilities which is huge bonus Second, Ukraine has been steadily shipping capture assets back to the US Lastly, weapons sales and development are through the roof The US couldnt have asked for a better deal

  16. @billyponsonby Apparently they gave Ukraine the export variant of the Storm Shadow which has half the range The Taurus range would open the door for deeper strikes

  17. Mostly likely Once the house passed the resolution ,they were in the air heading to EU Once Biden signed, in the air towards Ukraine

  18. Both can be replaced however a new tank crew surviving in Ukraine has very very long odds of surviving to become an experience crew

  19. No really The US has over 1100 patriot launchers and over 10,000 missiles have been produced Unlike , NASAMS, IRIS-T and SAMP-T which only exist in limited numbers The US could easily provide Ukraine with 150 units as well 500-600 missiles which would allow Ukraine to have an integrated air defence system (IADS) up and running in a matter of days While Patriots protect major assets, the, NASAMS, IRIS-T and SAMP-T can be moved to the front lines to nix Russian aircraft and missiles Putin's constant missile barge would be nixed and Ukraine would have no fly zone The only missiles left would be hypersonic which for Russian is bad in several ways if any end up intact

  20. Good deal, They still need at least 82 more though

  21. Ukraine just got ATACMS with max range and F-16s are getting closer to operation Russia is in panic mode right now
    2
  22. its simple math Ukraine only needs the F-16s ability to use fully use the AGM-88 Unlike the MIG-29 and Su-27, the F-16 can use the AGM-88 to locate and destroy Russian jammers No jammers , and glide bombs become moot as GPS munitions can strike the bases where Su-34 and Su-30 fly from

  23.  @wirasanjaya4517  The other countries shot those missiles down because they didnt want them falling in their territory Iran cant go 1v1 again Israel Israel can fly F-35 through Syria and iraq to strike Tehran directly What can Iran do nada

  24. The IRIS-T is good but they need to look at reality The Skyguard exists in the hundreds but most importantly, its launchers can use either Aspide or the US made RIM-7 100 certain that the Skyguard can be adjuste to use newer radar and targeting systems faster than building new IRIS-T If they focused on getting Skyguard missiles to Ukraine and give them away for missiles to interface with the NASAMS, and IRIS-T this process would be speed up to weeks not months

  25. Your democratically elected government was just removed by the military so its hard for anyone to take what the senate says seriouosly

  26. There is no point Ukraine has over 70 launchers able to use the ATACMS while only small and very limited number of aircraft able to the Storm Shadow The Taurus wouldnt help but Germany has 40 M270 in storage that would most definitely help Ukraine Ukraine's problem is that Russian EW has limited the effectiveness of GPS guided munitions Germany could spare 5 Tornado ECR for hunting Russia's EW equipment

  27. Simple answer is no

  28. How about no Tailban managed 20 years by hiding not by fighting With Iran Israel has unlimited targets to chose from Also realize that from to Med to Iran's border is 600 miles Israel will be flying through Syria and Iraq to strike Tehran

  37. No, its called using it wisely Russia's biggest headache for Ukraine forces is their jammers. The F-16s with AGM-88s can accurately target Russian jammers No jamming coverage , GPS munitions rain down Storm Shadow/SCALP strike are hindered by Panstr S1, Tor and Tunguska SHORAD Again the F-16 can accurately target these with AGM-88s. So instead of 3 out 10 missiles hitting their targets. All 10 hit The only systems on the ground that out range the AGM-88 is the BukM-3, S-300 and S-400 While destroying jammers gives GPS munitions back their accuracy, the F-16 can use laser guided bombs The US doesnt have anything like FAB-3000s glide bombs but 2000lbs laser guided bombs will be equally as terrifying to Russia forces if Ukraine grounds forces get laser designator luike AN-PAQ-1 F-16s can launch and leave while grounds keep the target painted So yes if Ukraine uses them wisely, they will have a massive impact

  39. There are too few Gripens to matter to Ukraine while there are thousands of the F-16s

  43. The key here is that B-1, B-2 and B-52 were all built with specialized technology for each bomber The B-21 uses commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) from existing programs which greatly reduces its development cost B-1, B-2 and B-52 required a lot upgrades through out their lives for various weapons while the B-21 starts off fully compatible with all existing USAF weapons B-1, B-2 and B-52 all use unique engines while the B-21 borrows the F-35 F-135 engine B-1 and B-52 radars are variants from F-16s and F-18s while the B-2 has its own unique radar The B-21 again borrows from the F-35 APG-81 by borrowing from modern programs, they don't spend as much Now if they spent the time and money using all unique tech, its likely the cost would be closer to the B-2

  44. Fatigue not on the menu Ukraine has been the trifecta for the US First , Russia has been forced used a lot of its EW capabilities which is huge bonus Second, Ukraine has been steadily shipping capture assets back to the US Third, weapons sales and development are through the roof The US couldnt have asked for a better deal Russia is boasting about KA-52 performance but also giving the US another bonus The Stryker SHORAD has both Stinger and Hellfire which both have to short range for engage KA-52s Now the US Army is revisiting plans to use the AIM-9X for SHORAD More the point , Ukraine is showing the need mobile air defense units able to engage drones and loitering munitions with 30mm but also engage gunships, cruise missiles and aircraft with missiles The US did develop such asset but it never made to production 3 guess whats getting dusted off

  48.  @maryanchabursky9148  Thats a simple fact of life Combat losses will always outstrip manufacturing its takes on average 3-6 months to make most pieces of armor.
