  1. G forces bend airframes before they make pilots pass out. What exactly do you think happens to the engine mounts or weapon pylons when you pull 9 Gs? Everything gets 9x heavier. Put an AI pilot without G limiters, it will rip everything apart.

  2. ​ @leongao5120  Baumgartener jumped from 71k feet and spent 3 minutes 43 seconds in free fall. 3 minutes is plenty of time for something to slow down. Remember, the faster you go, the more drag you suffer. And drag increases as the atmosphere gets thicker.

  3. Vietnam literally won by INVADING South Vietnam. If all North Vietnam had done was defend, South Vietnam and North Vietna would be like Korea today or agreed for reunification in a mutually benefitting way. Afghanistan tried to defend and lost to the ATTACKING Taliban. Maoist China attacked the Republic forces and forced them to flee to Taiwan.

  4. Leaking classified intel isn't protected by free speech. Assange also played a dangerous game by siding with Russia.

  8. He's wrong. Ukraine used tank offensives in Kharkiv.

  10. No, he's wrong. He claims that without air superiority, tanks can't breach through lines and it's WWI all over again. However, Ukrainians breached the lines in Kharkiv with tanks. And they forced the Kherson retreat with tanks.

  11. The F-35A can carry 2k lbs more than the A-10. Everyone forgets the billions it costs to keep the A-10 flying. They've had airframe rebuild programs and now re-winging contracts. They're extremely old.

  12. Because wealthier Western European nations are associated with higher quality goods/services so the German surgeons would be the best and Ukrainian doctors wouldn't be trusted, also there's the "vampiristic" fable of bleeding the poor to feed the rich, stealing organs and selling them to Westerners makes us look evil and the Ukrainians like pawns who don't even get the organs for themselves. Also not-very-subtle hint at voodoo Nazi science.

  13. If you're that low, people in the ground will fill the air with lead and eventually score a hit. In Vietnam many jets were downed because they were forced to fly low due to SAM threat, and ground fire took them out. F-18s can so the CAS mission while self-escorting so sending the A-10s is redundant.

  14. It was America that was afraid of Ukrainian nukes getting lost. America got involved.

  15. There's a ton of stuff the government can't say because adversaries are listening too... why is it troubling that the govt won't do foreign spies' jobs for them?

  16. Hypersonic only works when it follows design conditions. Once shot down, terminal velocity is handled by atmospheric drag.

  17. The thing is that there would be a lot of non-hostile posting of pro-vegetable posts.

  18. Then the code needs approval. Then the systems need to be brought out of the frontline to have their systems replaced and re-checked.

  20. Ukraine has Su-25s. They used them where they could. Any area the A-10 could operate on, Su-25s were there. As far as I know, both sides have lost Su-25s. Desert Storm involved a complex SEAD/DEAD operation plus aggressive Fast FAC F-16s diving on AAA to bomb them as they couldn't ve suppressed by HARM.

  21.  @comfortablynumb9342  Sniper rifles have less range than artillery and mortars. Too close for comfort.

  22.  @comfortablynumb9342  They are effective, and used by Ukrainians. Because if they get killed (and they do, it's war) it's unthinkable for Russians to find an American. You're changing the argument. Nobody said snipers weren't effective. The problem is, snipers hunt each other. And it's too close to the frontline. So Americans don't do it.

  23. Escalate how? There's been indiscriminate bombing of civilians, summary executions, forced relocations, false flags, torture, etc. Russia has already made this conflict an absolute hell. There's no escalation.

  24. Were hundreds killed? The only source are the Gaza authorities.

  25. If there was a secondary explosion like the other comments said, they were armed.

  26. And we also have overhead ISR drones and don't send out armored vehicles without support so we don't face the problem those screens are supposed to solve.

  27. Would you be recruited into an organization that gets you arrested over nothing? What does the average person think? The people who stand against Israel can't even tell East from West. If they're wrong about that, certainly they can be wrong about a whole lot else.

  30. A HARM fired at a Patriot radar to defend himself from friendly fire? Hell of a story I was not aware of, thanks!

  31. Wasn't a random target. It was a convoy. Targeting enemy supplies is basic warfare.

  33. The only missile it could employ would be the AGM-122 Sidearm, which is no longer in inventory.

  34. How many people with unimpeachible credentials ruined it all? People who became a laughing stock had one thing in common - they weren't a laughing stock before whatever they did.

  35. Missile could already be falling. The terminal phase of a ballistic missile is almost vertical from an observer in the receiving end. Alternatively, the missile being knocked off balance could make it fall as it lost control authority, but terminal velocity due to drag makes it fall at a set speed.

  36. ​ @clivedoe9674  Reacting to cheat powers is like learning to react to 540 tornado kicks when you're about to fight prime Mike Tyson. You're not gonna get a Taekwondo kick to the face, don't bother.

  39. No, it isn't. IFF is one of the major problems in warfare.

  40. It's not an oversight, the A-10 began as a A-1 Skyraider replacement for COIN where only 14.5mm and occasional 23mm guns were the threat. The project requirements eventually changed but since it had never been expected to operate inside air defenses the low flying would protect it from Shilkas and the tail would mask the engines while flying over MANPADS. Integrated air defenses came after the A-10 had already been designed.

  41. TB2s ended up getting shot down, but they brought hell on the invaders. Money well spent.

  44. Made in the Soviet Union and Russia won't sell them parts.

  45.  @max_galingumas9409  Not the entire thing. If you make all the parts for a car except the engines, you have a nice modern art piece but not a car.

  46.  @orionide4032  That's a beyond insane comment to post. Yeah, the Russian fleet is actually using ships built in Ukraine, which means they couldn't be able to rebuild them. Just like Ukraine can't rebuild things that require Russian corporations/factories.

  47. The problem is that instead of dispersed capabilities, they neatly placed their assets in a location where we can simply lock them into a basement. A neat thing strike pilots do is put the laser right "behind" the blast doors where concrete meets the rock face. Bomb plows through concrete and skips off rock.

  48. I've also seen "then vs today" pictures of the land taken by Russia from Finland, a church bombed during WW2 is still in the same state nearly 80 years later.

  49. They weren't proven wrong, though. The Phantom got 90% of kills by missile.

  50. Not really. If you look at Desert Storm figures alone, the A-10 did around 8,000 sorties and six were shot down, while F-16s did 12,000 sorties I think with only three shot down.
