At least you can get a beer on a RN ship.

Those aircraft fly around with equipment that makes them more visible to radar. That’s what you do in peacetime. The Stealth is saved for sanitised training airspace or deep inland over friendly territory. No need to make it easy for Russian threat libraries.

Think yourself lucky you don’t have to look for the golden rivet.

I think everybody knows what a peacetime intercept is.

@Hiker_Nature_009 SM-3 cannot be used against anti ship missiles.

That’s what “Aster” is for. Pity we don’t have CEC for OTH work but Link will do.

Same for the Russians.

The money the Tories gave to their mates for track & trace would have paid for their build.

I think we will have to rely on the inaccuracy and reliability of those missiles as our best defence, if they even exist that is 👍

@daneelolivaw602 bit hard to torpedo a ship in dry dock.

@brentsummers7377 I admit, the 100 million price tag is hard to stomach.

@johndoe-ss9bz Only the RFA, I was shocked to learn the Dutch Navy had a union!

“Noses Cold” and luneberg lenses.

@gregoryhouse5240 you’re an expert but think it’s unusual that a fighter can’t outrun a SAM?

@Dischingo the difference is in coatings, the US has better ones on the B2.

That’s the beauty of having closed weapons bays 👍

@Hiker_Nature_009 personally, all of the important changes I see in that balance are political.

Ha yes indeed.

Sakhalin 👍

Not from each other, there’s no buddy tanking.

@1IbramGaunt how many Victors would it have taken to refuel enough Victors to refuel SHARS, then back to ASI again!

@Drew Peacock why couldn’t they just stick huge fuel drums inside the Osprey like every other tanker is weight an issue?

Works both ways.
1
We can’t afford them.

@Drew Peacock we aren’t what we were. Russia just placed a force larger than the entire British army on Ukraine’s border.

@Drew Peacock I’ve forgotten.

@josef596 yeah we don’t do mass murder of foreigners anymore we just kill old people with Covid.

Be better if you could spell it.

There’s nothing free about deploying a CSG.

I can assure you we prodded them far more than they prodded us.

@malcpaul996 it’s a matter of public record. During the Cold War NATO flew far more recon flights that the WARPAC.

He’s rehearsed his lines.
