  1.  @jondough9268  The entire setup is to tax it out of existence and the politicians can go and say, "see, we made it legal and it failed". Meanwhile Colorado is reaping million in taxes from legal weed and their legal weed industry is growing. Why? because they set up their industry to succeed.

  2. I've owned cars since the 1980's Number of times i've had to replace a manual transmission , 0 Number of times I've had an automatic transmission fail to the point that I had to replace them 4

  3. It's nice when the movie actually has this thing called a plot and a script.
    307
  4. ​ @FoogleBoogle  nowhere near what the Russians claim

  5. Never use the jackstand as an anchor point, You are literally pulling the jackstand out from under the car.
    288
  6. Hezbollah fought the IDF in Lebanon. The IDF isn't in Lebanon anymore.
    277
  7.  @Cpruett  So you've forgotten why the "Clean Water Act" was passed? You forgot the Flint Michigan water crisis during Trump's Presidency?
    256
  8. Menendez needs to resign so that the Governor can appoint an interim Senator
    247
  9. I really don't give a flying "f" about what Lindsey Graham says, he's still going to vote to acquit Trump no matter what.

  10. McGahn "I keeps notes because I'm a "real lawyer"... priceless

  11. Think that was the lesson, the motorcycle did the trip twice before they even started.

  13. ​ @Typexviiib  the stimulus check paid my rent when the country shut down and half my income went away.
    162
  14.  @nicholascampbell3043  Because the US was fighting people who were known to use car, and trucks bombs.
    159
  15. Multiple things happen at the same time. Your advice is to ignore everything except the one? So let's go 100mph in a 25mph school zone, and when we get stopped by the police, we demand to know why they aren't off chasing gang bangers?
    156
  16. Depends on the leadership. IDF troops turned a blind eye to their allies massacring refugees, no reason to think that the IDF is any better now than then.
    129
  17. In one exercise an F-22 pilot saw a flight of C-130's down in the weeds. The F-22 pilot dove to get the easy kill. He did not see the A-10 that was trailing the C-130, who promptly killed it
    128
  18. Nothing says wanting to minimize civilian casualties like dropping cluster munitions in a civilian occupied city.
    127
  19. AOC is following the mantra, "Never ask a question if you don't know the answer", nice. It's a simple matter of checking the congressional records, is the report there or it's not. If it's not in the House records, it does not matter if Ross and his office sends a letter saying that they complied, no report = noncompliance.
    123
  20. A blue check mark just means you paid for the check mark, it means nothing.
    122
  21. Notice that the crew compartment is intact, even most of the suspension is intact. The mine resistant vehicle did what it was supposed to do. Keep it's crew and passengers alive.

  22. Here's the joke, Elon Musk can still be tracked in real time no matter what he says.
    117
  23. Didn't Trump say that as soon as he was President he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate and put Hillary Clinton in jail?
    114
  24. So Brett Kavanaugh is just like Trump. I can see why Trump likes him
    110
  25. Here's the problem with negotiations with Russia, Ukraine can't afford to have Russia hold on to the southern part of Ukraine, nor can it allow Russia to hold the Donbass area's that it took since the invasion started. In short it can't allow Russia to keep any of the territory that Russia has taken. On the other side, Russia can't give up the southern part of Ukraine that it has taken. So there is no room to negotiate as letting Russia keep it's gains in order to not "embarrass" Putin spells the economic death of Ukraine.

  26.  @Panzermeister36  The Politics is on the anti-vax, mostly from conservatives from Florida. An example was a ruling by a Florida judge that a US Navy Captain does have the authority to remove a subordinate from his command because he refused to be vaccinated. Same group of judges prohibited cruise lines from requiring vaccinations. This ruling resulted in the cruise line not being allowed to enter foreign ports because their passengers were banned from entry if they did not have documentation of their vaccination.
    105
  27. Trump really does not have a working concept of math.
    104
  28.  @BethSanchezSmithC131  nope, the gender gap has been increasing for years now, to the point that Republican women are crossing over.
    100
  29. To be fair, the funny part would be if NATO nations did increase defense budgets but not one penny was spent on US munitions, aircraft or weapons. So instead of Lockheed Martin F-35's they buy South Korean, Japanese, SAAB and other EU manufacturers
    97
  30. I don't know about the story being worthy of a sequel, but the technology certainly is. I would have loved if these cameras were available when the original movie and Final Countdown were being filmed.

  31. If Wagner does try to take control of the Gap, Wagner will find itself in a repeat of it's experience at the Battle of Conoco Fields. Only this time there will be nowhere to retreat to and Wagner will be destroyed in detail.
    95
  32. And now we know why even Republican Senators refused to confirm him for the post that he was nominated for.
    94
  33. ​ @SpaceBethC131  they didn't in 20,18,2020, 2022 and it looks like even more women will be voting for Harris and it looks like 20% of republican women will vote harris
    83
  34.  @jacksteele727  Officially, 2016 but as of 2023 the city has not completed the court mandated survey of the city's water pipe. So since 2016 the city has still been drinking from lead lined pipes. Meanwhile they have stopped providing free bottled water and the citizens have been buying bottled water out of their own pockets
    81
  35. They should create a NATO mk 2 one that involves Finland and Sweden but is minus Hungary and Turkey. Call it the EU plus Security Treaty Organization.
    77
  36.  @marcmarc4776  Not anymore. You don't send paratroopers supported by multiple regiments to attack a city for 30+ days when it's not the target.
    76
  37.  @boycott-Msnbc  in Mississippi there are approximately 288,000 men who have not been paying child support.
    72
  38. The F/A-18E/F are 8.1 g aircraft and are restricted to that by it's software though there is an overide paddle to disengage the g limiter The F-14A/B were 6.5 g limited aircraft that had no real limiter thus were known to hit 7-9 g's with some hitting 10g. All F-14's were able to carry bombs and had the ground attack radar and computer from the A-7. The procedure for making bombing attacks is outlined in the F-14's NATOPS manual
    71
  39. The drone is evolving the same way as manned aircraft did, 1st unarmed aircraft were used as scouts, then scouts took guns and started shooting at other scouts, then they mounted guns on planes, then bombs and rockets, then missiles.
    70
  40.  @humbertochong9094  If it true that it was the Vasily Bykov was sunk, the boat was commissioned in 2018. Which makes it one of the newer boats and has some of the most modern gear in the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
    70
  41. So can we call him a convicted felon now?
    67
  42. Last time I checked, the only people who have shot down an airliner over the Persian Gulf was the US Navy.
    66
  43.  @abcdef-l2c8t  or the Israeli public got tired of fighting an endless war
    65
  44. Re Patriot Missile - What most people don't seem to get is that the interceptor does have the range that Willy stated, the radar however, sees a lot further, and the higher the plane, the further away, further as in 372 kilometers away. Meaning the radar placed north of Dnipro city, can see a large plane, flying a race track pattern at 25,000 ft while it's still over the Crimean Bridge, and the same plane at 25,000ft near Yalta can be seen from as far away as Kremenchuk. All they need then is to move a single launcher within 50km from the front, and shoot a pair of missiles, hit the hydraulics, stow the launcher, and the launcher will be on the road long before the Russians track where the missile/s came from. Now if this is true, then the Ukrainians have found a way to use a defensive weapon, as an offensive weapon
    65
  45.  @harveymanfredsenjenson5417  What did the Russians achieve in Afghanistan?
    62
  46. ​@kurgo_ if you are referring to Gaza, what is the Trump policy? Answer do more do faster.

  47.  @boycott-Msnbc  Same people who want to ban abortions also want to ban birth control.
    62
  48.  @DavidLLambertmobile  I think the reporters were saying that the Police said they were warned. That does not mean that they actually did warn them. Just as they say that the signs were up that night when video evidence shows them installing them only after the incident.
    58
  49.  @deonambrose  Must be something about a woman doing it, completely missing the idea that Diana of Themyscira was raised by warriors, trained by her aunt to be a the best warrior on the island.
    57
  50.  @BlueSky-dm3fb  These are over the horizon radars. They can't be used for targeting but they can see the F-16's as they take off from their air bases and can allow the Russians can triangulate the location of where the F-16's are based
    55
  51. To Delta CEO - The British and South African variant of Covid 19 did not get to the USA by boat or car, it came by plane.
    52
  52. 70-80% of the Russian Military is not deployed, so don't think that there is no one to put down a rebellion.
    52
  53.  @MMuraseofSandvich  Vance is on record saying that he does not care what happens to Ukraine.
    52
  54. I seem to recall that Polish pilots among others showed up to fight in the RAF when England was fighting for her life.
    52
  55. Nicole Maple Coenen one of her videos is titled "I quit my job to be a lesbian lumber jack"
    52
  56. I guess US law does not apply to Donald Trump and his family. U.S. Code § 3110 - Employment of relatives; restrictions (b) A public official may not appoint, employ, promote, advance, or advocate for appointment, employment, promotion, or advancement, in or to a civilian position in the agency in which he is serving or over which he exercises jurisdiction or control any individual who is a relative of the public official. An individual may not be appointed, employed, promoted, or advanced in or to a civilian position in an agency if such appointment, employment, promotion, or advancement has been advocated by a public official, serving in or exercising jurisdiction or control over the agency, who is a relative of the individual.

  58. ​@lape2002 the IL-22 landed with a shredded tail section, the other did not, it's radar track ends in the Azov Sea
    48
  59. Or the fact that the F-35 has a piece of equipment that can fry nearly every drone within 5 miles of the plane.
    48
  60.  @MiguelMartinez-yh9df  So you are equating protests against over a century of police misconduct with insurrection on behalf of a con-man who could not accept that he lost an election?
    48
  61. 60 votes needed in the Senate, this is Dead on arrival.
    48
  62. The US did not invade Cuba because it was a threat to the US, it invaded simply because it was in a war with Spain and Cuba was the nearest Spanish territory, that and a US warship blew up in Cuba.
    47
  63. It's not a "TANK AIRCRAFT" it's a freaking Gunship
    44
  64. We are spending a fraction of what we spent to fight a war, so it's cost effective.
    44
  65.  Jan Jankowski  How did the Russians do in Afghanistan? Last I checked the US and it's allies lost fewer people in 20 years than the Russians lost in 10, and now the Russians have lost far more than than that in a month.
    44
  66. How do you confirm that t top Hamas leader and his people were killed but not know if civilians were or were not killed? If you are able to confirm the kill, you are able to confirm the status of the civilians. The only reason you can't is because you don't want to or you do have civilians casualties but don't want to admit it
    43
  67. Trump has a busy schedule, it starts at 8am with tv watching and tweeting then off to the WH at 11AM and ends at 4PM with frequent and long breaks (as much as 9hrs) for executive aka TV watching and tweeting time. *edit how you can get 9 hrs off TV watching and tweets in a 5 hour work day I don't know but that's what his work schedule looks like based on the official schedule they provided.
    43
  68.  @furymysteries3276  The Corruption Index score for Ukraine went improved by 10pts from 26 in 2012 to 36 in 2023. Russia meanwhile went from 28 in 2012 to 26 in 2023 So as of 2023 Russia is 141/180 and Ukraine is 104/180 Ukraine is becoming less corrupt, Russia is becoming more corrupt For Reference Denmark has a CPI of 90 making it #1 least corrupt country The USA has a CPI of 69 making it #26/180 least corrupt country The China has a CPI of 42 making it 76/180 least corrupt country

  69.  @knowledgewillincrease7508  Noticed you are deflecting and wildly going but what about what about. Pretty soon you'll be pointing to Hillary Clinton's emails and Vince Foster.
    42
  70. ​@fjinnw3019 extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. So far, US and European compliance personnel have been able to track the bulk of the aid. None have been found to have gone to Zelensky.

  71. @hanscrushonauntielina  yes, only he's running on a Uber alpha male platform and the last time i saw a guy wear that look, he was wearing leather assless chaps, vest and a dog collar being led around on a leash.
    40
  72. Belgium and Spain are increasing their purchases of Russian gas by 40% so the EU has increased the actual purchases.
    39
  73. She also said that what she liked best about Jennifer Garner's wigs and costume changes were that her entire demeanor, speech and walk changed.
    39
  74. Fun little tidbit, the HARM missile mounted has a mode and the HARM targeting system can be used to create a map of every radar, radio transmitter (walkie talkies, cell phones, drone controllers, command posts, individual vehicle radio transmitters) around the plane carrying the missile. That info can then be provided to gun and rocket artillery for proper servicing.
    38
  75. ​​ @romeoward1794  what is not said. The judge only lifted it temporarily until the appeals court make their ruling. That ruling will probably be in court's favor and the gag will be reinstated
    37
  76. Common reasons for security clearance denial. Financial ties and other contacts with a foreign government, conflicts of interest, financial problems, federal conviction. Also failing to report said items and lying to the investigators.
    36
  77. I got one from the Republican in my district, I told him to f off

  78.  @yonghominale8884  So you believe in surrendering to terrorists?
    35
  79. A recent simulation involving a USAF AI controlled drone, the drone Identified it's target, when the operator denied the drone permission to kill the target, the drone proceeded to kill the operation and then the target. When the program was modified to prevent the drone from killing the operator, it proceeded to kill the communications tower that the operator used to give it instructions before killing what it had designated as the target. So still want AI controlled drones?
    35
  80.  @joezmoma19285  is it capable of actually using more than that? Think 2 up 1 back is the most anyone can muster. Usually only 1/3 is available to use and just 20% of that is your actual combat units.
    35
  81. The Secret Service did not know about them.

  84.  @1989TS..  You're forgetting the continued interference by the US in Philippine internal affairs after WW2 as part of it's anti communist campaign. Remember Marcos??
    33
  85. I understand his reluctance but his stance is rather hypocritical in light of his criticism of Obama under whom he served as commander of CENTCOM.
    33
  86. Need to find a new location for their extra weapons. How about they follow the same law that they require of civilians to follow when transporting a gun. In a locked compartment (not the glove box) in the trunk of the vehicle, unloaded, with a trigger lock and with the ammo in a separate locked container
    33
  87. Cruise missiles don't usually fly at over mach 1, those are likely more conventional missiles
    33
  88. Kid Glove treatment. I've seen cases where if the suspect did what she did, would get taken to the ground, tazered and maced then dragged to the car, and the charge of resisting arrest would be tacked on to the charges.
    32
  89. Odd, but Comer and Jordan's star witness turned out to be working for the Russians.

  90. Zelensky regularly shows up at the front line visiting the troops, has Putin even set foot in Ukraine since 2022

  102. I seem to remember an F-16 pilot going into a hard left break and going into G-lock, going into an inverted dive. The instructor in the back realized the problem when the BB started calling out to pull up and you hear him cursing as he takes control and levels out
    29
  103.  @anthonyloveanthonylove2159  That promise was never made and was never discussed. They were talking about not placing NATO troops and weapons in Eastern Germany while Germany was in the process of reunification.
    29
  104. The difference between the US flights along the Chinese coast is that the US makes it a point to stay more than 12 nautical miles off the coast and thus stays in international airspace. The Chinese balloon, the 4th or 5th that the US has officially acknowledged was flying inside US airspace and they were doing so without China telling the US about them. Personally as far as I'm concerned the US should have brought it down while it was still over Alaska.
    29
  105.  @MiguelMartinez-yh9df  So only the people who are actually affected get to protest? ok, must be news to all those white folk who marched with their black fellow citizens back in the 50's, 60's and 70's. I've been on this planet for a bit more than half a century. Racism is alive and well, it's just a bit more subtle or it was until Trump got elected. Then they started to feel that it was safe to be more open about it.

  114. If the balloon is at 60,000ft then an F-15 or F-22 can take it down using half second burst of 20mm training rounds from their cannon. Hitting the balloon itself would cause it to leak and force it down
    28

  118. Why join the US army when you get paid better in the civillian world? This is the norm for the US during periods of peacetime and low unemployment (3.8%, 5% is considered full employment) since it went to an all volunteer system.

  128. Nice to see the cult of Elon is out in force to support their messiah. Tech note, When a car is riding rough at 45mph it's going to be horrific at 150mph (the speed that Elon says the design speed is), at that speed it's going to be bottoming out, sparks will fly as the bottom of the car hits the floor of the tunnel, and airborne at times That smooth gentle turn at 45mph will find the passenger being rammed against the sides of the car. Talk to the Japanese and the European high speed train and railroad as well as race track designers on how to build high speed tracks.

  130. I can see where some improvements can be made to reduce the rcs and make it even harder to find visually by lowering the boat's deck so that when cruising it will be almost level with the water or at most 3-6 inches above it, then when it speeds up it will get up on plane and 80% of the hull will be above the water to maximize speed, giving it 60-80 knots. And with it on plane, the boat will literally jump over any chains the Russians put out to stop boats

  131.  @Giveme1goodreason  That people who are part of Zelensky's own party, some of his ministers have been arrested and are being prosecuted tells you just how serious Zelensky is treating this

    25
  134.  @MaxRuso  What's word salad about it? In WW2 the US provided food, fuel and ammunition and other supplies to troops that were 8,000 miles away in the pacific and at the same time did the same for troops in Europe. it did it again during conflicts in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Russia has trouble providing enough fuel to troops next door to them.
    25
  135.  @SandyWolf-  Juneteen has been celebrated in the USA since 1867. The joke here is that Trump and the people he surrounds himself with don't know about it and the only one who knew was the one person who is not part of Trump's circle. A clueless moron surrounded by like minded fools.

    24
  140.  @kentershackle1329  The majority of Luhansk and Donetsk actually voted to not join Russia when Ukraine opted to go it's own way when the USSR fell. And the majority of Luhansk and Donetsk that were not controlled by the Seperatists voted for Zelenskyy. In fact 80% of those who voted in Luhansk, voted for Zelenskyy. The only region that Zelenskyy did not get the majority of the vote was in Lviv. So News Flash, the only people in Luhansk and Donetsk who voted for Russia were the one's who had ties to the Russian backed separatists and they were less than 20% of the population of Luhansk and Donetsk.

  143. Holy s***t how many digs was that in the end :)

  144. No one makes "Heavy Tanks" since WW2, we build Main Battle Tanks and Light tanks. And the short answer is yes. That is what they need in order to take back the ground they lost.
    23
  145.  @regpane  During WW2 the US supplied Russia/USSR with about 1/3 of all the explosives they used during that war to defeat Germany, now it will do with the Ukrainians in order to give them the chance to defeat the Russian invaders.

  148.  @charlesdillard971  Looking at the Danish laws, I don't see what the US constitution has to offer that Danish law does not. According to the Wall Street Journal, Denmark has more economic freedom than the USA, it also outranks the US in healthcare, political freedom and less corrupt politics. Danes get 25 days of paid vacation a year. Mom's get 4 weeks of maternity leave before giving birth and 14 weeks after while dads get 2 weeks of leave after the birth. So again, what's the upside of a US citizenship for a Greenlander/Dane? If anything becoming a US citizen would probably a step back.

  149.  @ruskiydude9987  The Azov are in the south, Kyiv and is in the north, how did they get there, Starfleet teleporters? Oh, and commercial satellites show the bodies there in the streets on the 19th. Your argument is right out of the Russian UN Ambassador's press release, interesting no??
    22
  150.  @ruskiydude9987  So now you're saying that Azov which got less than 1% of the vote has overrun Ukraine? Boy your GRU employers has that spin machine working over time. Oh, and the Iraq WMD stuff did not come from the DOD or it's contractors, it came from the White House, CIA, DOD, DOE and all the intel agencies were saying low confidence, and they used illustrations not pictures. You are free to call up a commercial satellite company and ask if they have pictures of a given grid on a specific date, if they have it they'll sell it to you. Maxor is one of those who provide satellite photos.

  156. The world will not "run out" of weapons. the volume used will just be less, and if the west (US) can get the contracts done properly Ukraine will have as much munitions as they can use and then some. It's just a question of sourcing it.

  158. Correct me but when the USAF needed an ECM aircraft they took existing F-111's and converted them to produce the EF-111, the US Navy's early EA-6's jammer aircraft were converted A-6's before the US Navy ordered 170 EA-6B's to fill out 19 squadrons

    21
  166. It's how an A-10 driver got a Raptor kill. His squadron noticed a pattern in the F-22's fight. So they sent an lone A-10 out and he flew in the radar shadow of a C-130. The F-22's seeing the intruding C-130, ignored it while they continued killing F-16's and F-15's. At some point one F-22 went low to make another kill and soon the Raptor pilot heard "Guns, Guns, Guns on F-22" and looked around to see a lone A-10.

  167.  @Keepskatin  1. The Sunday/weekend voting, aka Church to the Voting booth is something mostly black people do. 2. Mail in voting - mostly Democrats voted by mail with Republicans voting in person Reducing the time period to ask for absentee ballots will reduce the number of votes cast by absentee ballots, see #2 3. Restricting the use of ballot boxes makes it harder to find a place to drop off the ballot, in Texas for example you had to drive 90 minutes to get to a drop off box. Restricting the location only to official polling stations and only during office hours means people who work can't drop them off. again restricting the vote.
    21
  168. Not enough drones. Priorities. Each MRLS requires 1 Truck for reloads, if it fires 9 salvos in a day, they need 9 trucks, kill those trucks, your MRLS is a truck with a decorative hat. Same goes for tanks, tanks require a fuel truck and an ammo truck, kill the trucks, the tank is a lawn ornament.
    21
  169. China is trying to avoid secondary sanctions for providing Russia with semiconductors and integrated circuits for it's military production. China depends on the US buying it's goods to finance their economy
    21
  170.  @hphp31416  This attitude is one reason why Germany's army is such pathetic state that it's in. When the Germans offered their mobile artillery to Ukraine, they found they had neglected to by ammunition for their artillery. So instead of an artillery piece, the German Army has a really expensive lawn ornament. Modern wars are all come as you are wars. If you don't have it now, you will not have it still by the time the war ends. It's now 6 months since the war in Ukraine started, Poland has ordered over 200 tanks from the USA the first of these tanks will not arrive until 2023. The US builds 15 tanks a a month and each tank requires 7 months to build.
    20
  171. The weight of the tank is only a problem if the tank's treads can't spread the weight Examples M1A2 Abrams tank at 69.54 tons has a ground pressure of (15 psi) Source LM Land Systems. 250lb man 15.62psi Adult horse (550 kg, 1250 lb): 170 kPa (25 psi) Passenger car: 205 kPa (30 psi) Wheeled ATV: 13.8 kPa (2 psi) Adult elephant: 240 kPa (35 psi) Mountain bicycle: 245 kPa (40 psi) Road racing bicycle: 620 kPa (90 psi) Woman in Stiletto heel: 3,250 kPa (471 psi) This is because the tracks are spreading out the weight of the tank which allows the tank to move over mud, dirt, sand that will stop a soldier on horseback.

  174. I use to do deliveries in the Los Angeles area, and the average speed was about 12mph. That factor in the traffic and the time it took to actually deliver the package and get back out on the road.

  178. You realize that actually right out of the Russian/Soviet manual right? fight as long and as hard as you can. when the position can no longer be held, pull back to the next defensive line and repeat while creating new defensive lines behind that.
    20
  179.  @minhnguyen96  the gap is NATO territories and defended by 2 NATO countries, Poland and Lithuania, to say that both countries have an extreme dislike for Russia would be an understatement. Lithuania is devoting 1.4% of it's GDP to aid Ukraine and has increased it's defense spending to 2.5% of GDP. When Poland heard that Ukraine needed weapons to kill Russian, they went to their warehouses and put everything that could be used on a train to Lviv. They were the 1st to start sending tanks, the first to start sending fighter planes. And since it's NATO territory, Wagner's presence triggers article 5, so even if Germany does not respond, the US will send everything that flies and carries a bomb or a gun. So yeah, if Wagner tries to take the gap, it will be it's graveyard

  181. Armata tank, still in pre production, Meantime the US has so many M1 tanks that many of them are in storage and some are being upgraded with new armor and electronics before being issued as replacements to the tanks that have been lost or otherwise withdrawn from service. Frankly I suspect that eventually the M1 will still be in service till the next century only with new armor, electronics and an electric drive.

She tried cases as a public defendant as well as a private lawyer and seen multiple trials as a judge. Amy Barret has never tried a case before being appointed to the appeals court. And Barret has been an appeals court judge for a shorter time than Jackson has been.
    19
  187. Sweden neutrality did not mean it was a pacifist country, Sweden practiced armed neutrality, meaning if a Russian aircraft crossed into it's airspace, it would be met by a Swedish interceptor and would be shot down if they Russian plane did not immediately follow orders to leave.
    19
  188.  @Silversmok3  That was an unprotected ejection seat at Mach 3, NASA had a Mach 5 design that incorporated a windshield, literally a shield to protect the crew person. A Mach 10 design would likely incorporate a capsule with a passive (no power of fuel needed) braking system to control the capsule's attitude and slow it down enough for chutes to open. It's not that hard, you're looking at a FBW aircraft, all the connectors between the cockpit and the plane are just large plugs that carry data and power like those you find on computer motherboards.
    19
  189.  @sull5307  Oh don't get me wrong, I fully believe that half of Russia's aviation losses have been due to friendly fire. And I'm pretty sure the Ukrainians are perfectly happy with that fact.

  191.  Adolf Zelensky  a constitutional Republic is a form of Democracy. From US Embassy site "While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic. What does this mean? “Constitutional” refers to the fact that government in the United States is based on a Constitution which is the supreme law of the United States. The Constitution not only provides the framework for how the federal and state governments are structured, but also places significant limits on their powers. “Federal” means that there is both a national government and governments of the 50 states. A “republic” is a form of government in which the people hold power, but elect representatives to exercise that power."

    17
  209. I suspect that the US/NATO has a fairly accurate count of the destroyed Russian equipment, points up at the sky. If it's got a missing turret or it's not moved in a day or more, it's probably dead.

  216. It was "difficult" and "tough" just before the Ukrainians broke through Russian attempt to take Kyiv and forced them to retreat north back to Belarus and Russia leaving the entire northern front from Kyiv to Sumy. It was "difficult" and "tough" in Kherson just before the Ukrainians tore through the Russian lines in Kharkiv.
    17
  217. The USAF F-117 stealth bomber (it's not a fighter) that was lost over Kosovo was lost because aside from flying a predictable flight routine, it went without the EA-6B jammer that normally covered that area.
    17
  218.  @garychesser5277  Ask the Ukrainians, after all per your logic, they should have all just dropped to their knees with pants around their ankles and presented ass for use. Instead when asked to fight, they showed up in numbers that outstripped the posts the military had available and buba's started making molotov cocktails

  267. Try a little comprehension. The General was talking about a hypersonic glide vehicle or a hypersonic cruise missile. Those are hard to stop. The Kh-47M2 Kinzhal is an Air Launched Hypersonic BALLISTIC Missile. And the US knows where every single one of the launch aircraft are, they can detect when they leave the air base, they can track them to their launch area, and they can detect the missile launch and it's direction of travel. All they need to do at that point is to put the interceptor in the path of that missile

  276.  @the_mpower  When they held the vote to join Russia in Crimea, the Russians went around and took down names and ID's. If you were a Tartar, (minority vehemently hates Russians because they were deported en mass to other republics) they somehow never got their voting cards. Others who were known to be likely to vote against Russia did not have their ID's returned to them thus preventing them from voting. Vice was on the ground and where in pro Russian areas you see lots of people voting, in the Tartar areas, they had polling stations where 10-20 people voted out of 1,500 who were registered at the polling station. Even the "neutral" observers were not "neutral" as when asked if they had seen any armed men, they said no, no armed men, Vice had been there for 10 days and saw them everywhere, getting as close as 20 feet from them with video cameras.

  296. It's still a reaction time thing, manpads are not "on" all the time, they have coolants and batteries that only last a short period of time. So first you have to hear the jet, The closer to the speed of sound, the less time you have (the time is the difference between the sound of the jet reaching you at mach 1 and the speed of the jet), Example at Pt Mugu I watched an F-14 surrounded by a cloud of vapor come towards us at near mach one, the sound of the jets did not reach us until the jet came over the edge of the runway and the Tomcat flew past us less then 2 seconds later. So if that had been a real attack run, the manpad shooter would have to get the launcher on his shoulder, turn it on, locate the target, get the seeker on target, get a target lock and launch the missile. By that time the jet would already be past and headed out, probably almost past the max rear quarter launch range of the missile.

The Ukrainians, they don't need to build tanks, NATO can fill their needs with Soviet era tanks while training new crews on the current NATO tanks and by the time those Soviet era tanks are gone, the NATO trained crews will be ready. Not to mention the near endless supply of ATGM's that can be carried by individual soldiers or mounted on 4x4's, The US and NATO have over a decade's worth of these that are nearing the end of their shelf life, so might as well give them to the Ukrainians to use.

Its now 2 years and the USAF is talking about sending A-10's and F-16's to the boneyard to save money for F-35 procurement. If instead of scraping those F-16's the US makes them available to the Ukrainians, the Ukrainian AF would be up to pre-war strength within a year.

No, it's the HARM targeting pod, depending on the model the AESA radar, the GE engines (they last 10 times longer than Russian engines), that's what they are worried about. So they have to balance the risks with Ukraine's need for a 4th gen tactical jet fighter that can handle the role of Defensive Counter Air against missiles and Russian jets, and tactical Air to Ground combat to take out Russian radars and if needed support Ukrainian troops in contact. The Ukrainians have lost close to 1/2 their tactical jets in the past year and they need replacements that have easy access to spare parts and munitions

  415.  @diegoa3817  Fox News has admitted that most of it's programing is "Entertainment" per fox's own numbers it only has about 90 minutes of news, the rest are opinion. So think of the Fox News program, and unless it was one of 4 news programs on fox, you are watching an entertainment/opinion program. In Europe, Fox News lists it's programs as Entertainment because they don't meet the requirement to be listed as "news" programs.

If the G8 were based on GDP, it would consist of Japan, USA, China, Germany, France, UK, Italy and Brazil and the EU is represented because as a block it's GDP is the 3rd largest and that's after you deduct the GDP's of France, Germany, Italy and the UK. In terms of GDP per capita Russia is ranked 80 about the same class as Grenada.

Over all, it's bombing rate was similar to the F-16C's hit rate using the same bombs. After Kosovo the Commander Fighter Wing Atlantic, a certain fellow name Dale "Snort" Snodgrass", pushed through a program that modified the targeting pods from the F-16 for use in the F-14 using the money intended for integrating the AIM-120 to the F-14. This included a new square monitor that gave the RIO a 12x magnification view of the targets

  461.  @CheeseDanish85  There are 2 Patriot batteries. One was damaged, one of the launchers, but the launcher stayed online and functional after it was hit and only went offline when the battery ran out. The Ukrainians repaired it and had the launcher back online within 30 minutes while the battery remained active, waiting for the next wave. The US inspected the damage and the repairs and sent a replacement part which the Ukrainians installed as soon as it arrived. So no, both Patriot batteries are online.

  465.  chrisflach69  The "millions" number was based on the CDC projection which assumed that 50% of Americans would ignore the orders to stay at home, social distancing and wear masks. The good news is that most sane people followed the CDC advice. Thus the numbers were much lower. We did have a ventilator shortage. We know this because we had to purchase, borrow more of them. And yes people died waiting for a ventilator. I work for doctors who work in the ICU, ER and Covid floors. They've had to triage who would get the ventilators that the hospital (each doc worked at a different hospital) had.

The one's that were sent to Ukraine use a more advanced radar, better software and a hit to kill interceptor, meaning it kills the missile by smashing the interceptor into the incoming missile. 2-Also it's a lot easier to hit something that is coming directly at you. it's not moving left, right relative to you.

  468. Re Global Hawk, at least 1 Global Hawk is patrolling along the south coast of Ukraine 24/7. So it was there when the Ukrainians hit and it was there when the Ukrainians did not hit. Officially, it can see everything that's going on around it out to 200km, so it can cover all of Crimea while still in international airspace. Unofficially anyone with rudimentary knowledge of math, the earths curvature knows that at 60,000ft, it can see out to more than 300 nautical miles.

  469. Training the maintenance lasts months, training the tank crews takes weeks at most. Driver needs to know how to use the accelerator, change gears, steer the tanks and use the brakes, how to start the engine. Loader needs a strong back, and know how to press a button and how to stick the tank round in the gun. Gunner needs to know how to press buttons and move gun controls which depending on the tank looks like a joystick or a yoke with a trigger. If you know how to use a playstation controller, you'll be able to use a tank's gun controls just fine. It's the commander who has to know the most. All of them need to know how to change the tracks. the rest they can read in the manual during their spare time. Remember, Tanks are made to be easy to use. The maintenance crew will need an experienced repair tech to supervise until the crews are proficient with the maintenance and repairs.

They have proven that they will let our kids die if it means protecting themselves. That leaves it to us to protect our own kids. No school shooter, are we expected to go protect our kids by saying nice words at the shooter? No if we have a gun, we bring it and put bullets in the shooter. The police have 2 options. 1. Take out the shooter themselves 2. Get the F out of the way.

  502. 30k troops is significant, true. Problem is that Russia's current tooth to tail ratio has proven to be capable only of supporting 1/2 the current number of troops.

Fixing it permanently requires a $20-30 3rd party repair kit that will void your Tesla Warranty.

Oh and Bellingcat was able to use CCTV cameras to follow them back to their base. And Russia, 1st they claimed that it was an Air to Air missile that shot down the plane, then everyone humiliated them with ridicule at the amateurishly done "photo" proof, they switched to the story that it was a Ukrainian owned missile.

  623.  @play_boy7543  Patriots did not arrive in Ukraine until late and mostly to deal with the missiles. The bulk of Ukraine's air defense was soviet era kit. Iraq was left mostly defense less because AH-64's, F-117's, F-4G's and their F-16 wingmen, hammered the Early Warning Radars, on the first strike. After most of the radars were gone, the WIld Weasels kept hammering anything that turned on their radar or shot a missile.

  624.  @play_boy7543  The US did not get the Radar frequency from the USSR, they got them from the Iraqis. During the period when the US was building up it's forces, they would send aircraft of various types and numbers screaming towards Iraq and they would record the Iraqi response. This gave them a library of which frequencies the Iraqi defenses were using and the locations of fixed sites. On the Day 0, they turned those radars off, permanently

Wing mounted guns also allowed for more ammo per gun so, longer trigger time. The wing mounting also makes maintenance and reloading easier. Get on the wing, open panel,open ammo bay, lay the new belt down, feed into the gun, hook charging handle and pull to feed the 1st round into the gun. Repeat on other guns.

As a pilot he would have only gone to a destroyer after pilot tours were completed and he's going for his surface warfare certification as he trains to command a ship as is a Destroyer, Cruiser or Aircraft Carrier. Also why is there a Sea Bee's patch? A more realistic jacket would have had patches for squadrons he was in during his tours of Iraq 2x, Serbia, and Afghanistan, NFWS and the test squadron he was in.

Even the first official migration of Americans to Mexico was set up by some broke guy who was looking at getting cheap land that he was going to pay for in installments. And he was binging a bunch of slave holders who were looking for cheap land where they could keep slaves.

Trump worships himself, just count the number of painting and pictures of himself are hung about his properties. "7. Thou shalt not commit adultery." Do we need to spell out how many times and with whom he has violated this "8. Thou shalt not steal." again, convicted of stealing from his own charity "9. Thou shall not bear false witness." Trump lies as people breath "10. You shall not covet." Yeah Trump fails this again and again

Assume that the planes will fly the same hours and are often shared between 2 pilots. Your F-22 will burn through it's available lifespan at 3x faster than normal and your maintenance will also triple

  734. This is text of the recall reasoning, "Governor Newsom has implemented laws which are detrimental to the citizens of this state and our way of life. Laws he endorsed favor foreign nationals, in our country illegally, over that of our own citizens. People in this state suffer the highest taxes in the nation, the highest homelessness rates, and the lowest quality of life as a result. He has imposed sanctuary state status and fails to enforce immigration laws. He unilaterally over-ruled the will of the people regarding the death penalty. He seeks to impose additional burdens on our state by the following; removing the protections of Proposition 13, rationing our water use, increasing taxes and restricting parental rights. Having no other recourse, we the people have come together to take this action, remedy these misdeeds and prevent further injustices." Not one mention about his actions combating the corona virus. So when he says that the backers of the recall are from a certain group of deplorables, he's pretty accurate.

  768.  @vantywilliams4507  Russia pulled out of Kharkiv because Ukrainian mechanized units reached behind their lines and were raising Ukrainian flags behind the Russian front lines, often past the Ukrainian artillery units. The Russians, with Ukrainians in front of them and behind them, opted to run. In Kherson, the Russian general, seeing as he could not supply his troops in Kherson with enough ammo and supplies they needed, pulled the troops back across the river and blew up the bridges behind them. The destroyed bridges prevented the Ukrainians from crossing the river after his troops but it also ended the Russian ability to push west to Odessa as they now have to drive east, then north, then west pushing through defensive lines that have not moved since April 2022.

  769. Stopping the Russian fleet from being able to transit the Bering Strait falls on the Alaska Air National Guard and the USAF contingent in Alaska and the US Navy in Washington State and California. Translation, the Russian Navy gets sunk because Washington is the home port of many US west coast carriers, and all of those carriers that are undergoing complex maintenance, their air wings are fully combat capable and are within flying distance. 1st the E-2's find them, then the E-18G's blind them rendering their air defense systems useless, then the F/A-18's and P-3 Orion's slaughter them with a hail of Harpoons.

  772. There is one other item of note. The LSO was injured and needed to be flown to the PI, but the doctor aboard the carrier told the CMV-22B crew that they needed to keep the pilot as close to wave top level during the entire flight. The pilots balked at that and said that they would need to fly at least above 100 ft. So instead of a fast 200+knot flight to the hospital in the CMV-22B, a MH-60 had to do what the CMV-22B could not do, fly at wave top level to the PI.

And that is the minimum of what that moron did.

  819. Frankly Ukraine can not accept any settlement that does not put the borders back to pre - Feb 24 2022 borders. It needs those Black Sea Ports, it needs access to the Black Sea and it's cargo ships have to pass between Crimea and Russia, It needs the Eastern Ukraine because of the oil and natural gas deposits, it needs the nuclear plant that Russia occupies. It needs all this because they are about 90% of it's economy.

  821. How can Cannon who was appointed by Trump, made rulings that were extremely deferential to Trump that were without basis in law or reason that 2 Trump appointed judges joined a Democrat appointed judge in reversing her rulings while including a dressing down of how utterly without foundation in law or reason her ruling were before tossing aside her rulings and ordering the documents to be released to the DOJ. Now she's on the same case again and why is she not recused yet?

  833.  @RobertHollander  You don't, you end up giving waivers. It's also not even. You have pilots in high demand units that fly a lot, 2-3 times a day 5 days a week. They rack up 700-1000hrs a year. The front line units from 2018-21 hovered between 81.6-130.8 hrs/yr. It got better in 2022 at 128hr/yr. The Alaska based 18's Fighter Interceptor Squadron is a former Aggressor squadron and acts as both interceptor and aggressor squadron for the 2 F-35 and 2 F-22 squadrons and Red Flag Alaska. Their F-16 are flying 2 time a day when they are not intercepting aircraft. And based on that and the number of F-22's F-35, the 5th gen pilots are probably flying maybe 2-3 times a week

  847.  @letsgobrandon5549  Nguyen has a point. Russia is losing 4 tanks for every Ukrainian tank lost. Crimea is supplied through bridges in the east and the north west. Cut those bridges and they'll be forced to supply via ships. That effectively kills the Black Sea Fleet, reduces the availablity of cargo ships for money making trips as they are shifted to supplying Crimea with everything.

  862. A Patriot battery is 8 missile launchers each with 4 containers with a total of 12 missiles on each launch vehicles. these are spread out over an area of as much as 10 km. the missile control unit is a separate unit and is the only unit with humans when the system is in combat, the power generator is a separate truck, the AESA radar is another truck and the communication antennas are another separate component. The Comm antenna, radar, control cab and generator are kept separate from each other to avoid EM interference and to prevent a single bomb or missile from taking out the whole system. So, if the patriot is hit by a missile, if you see secondaries, then one of the launchers were hit and the system remains fully functional.

  879. Just to point out where Trump lied in his response. According to a CBP status report, the U.S. has constructed 438 miles of “border wall system” under Trump, as of Dec. 18 2020. Only 40 miles of new primary wall and 33 miles of secondary wall have been built in locations where there were no barriers before. So the footprint of the wall is 40 miles longer than it was before Trump took office.

  880. Trump "I don''t have 15 people in the White House" He's right he doesn't have 15 people in the White House. There are over 450 people in the White House. That does not include the Secret Service detail.

A squadron of F-35C's or B's or 2 squadrons of F/A-18 with anti-ship missiles can turn the Black Sea into a grave yard for the Russian Baltic Fleet and effectively keep them out of the Mediterranean Sea

  888.  @ЕвгенийБулыгин-д6ч  Germany absorbed the East German population into their society, so yeah the EU can handle carrying Ukraine until their economy recovered.

  940. I personally would prefer SAAB JAS-39E's but lack of available airframes mean that the F-16 is the most likely candidate The question is not will the Ukrainians get F-16's, it's when and how many will they get. My best guess they will get the Norwegian F-16A/B's which if they survive this war will be upgraded to F-16V block 70 standards. After that they will continue to receive them and upgrade them to block 70. As for training time, it varies. At Wartime tempo, 6 weeks to train an experienced MiG-29 or Su-27 pilot. 5-9 weeks of advanced fighter combat training. Oh and Draken international lost their USAF aggressor contract, they operate F-16's. I'm fairly certain that they would be willing to take up the training contract.

A number of volunteers some have military experience, (these ex military guys were immediately hired and sent to train,Ukrainians), others went to semi-independent units going from hotspot to hotspot as needed. What you are seeing in the Ukrainian Army are Ukrainians. Only now, they've got the experience mated to adaptability, and able to make decisions on the move without waiting for orders from Kyiv. They are not Russians announcing the capture of Piski 5 times in one month, they are bypassing heavily defended strongholds and capturing logistics hubs and supply routes to force Russian troops to fight and die without food, ammo or water or run and try to regroup before they get encircled. The Russians tried this early in the war and failed because of the lack of a logistics troops, the Ukrainians are now doing the same only they are better at it.

That's why when NATO was still debating what to do about the Russian invasion, Poland opened up it's armory and put everything that could be put on a train and sent it to Ukraine. Heck they even sent some of their MiG-29's as "spare parts" when the US refused to transfer them to Ukraine

  1010. It tracks. Ukrainian casualties go up and down, They were high in Feb through April, then went down with spikes where Russians were attacking, they go up again in september but their worst were during Feb through April. It's harder to track casualties among soldiers as the official numbers don't get released by either side though you can get a rough baseline from the social and news media obituaries. Easier to track the equipment losses as they leave a visible evidence weeks after. But to give and indication, Ukraine is losing 1 IFV/Tank for ever 4-5 that the Russians lose. Half the tanks/IFV's the Russians lost happened in the 4 months after September while most of the Ukrainian losses were between February and July.

It started out roughly, but later found a working strategy. NATO would send a message to one of Milosevic's cronies that NATO was going to destroy their factory/assets, then they would bomb said assets. They then they would go to the next set of Milosevic cronies with the same message and bomb their properties/mines/factory.

One case in DS had a the HQ company of a USMC Division getting attacked by an Iraqi combined arms battalion. When the HQ came under fire from the Iraqi tank and BMP's. As the dismounted marines fought with LAWs, AT-4's, rifles and machine guns. and the HQ commander realized his LAV's would be destroyed if they remained static so he ordered his LAV's to charge. And the LAV's did just that. The LAV's with their 25mm cannons and TOW missiles fought a chaotic running battle, and stopping only to reload. In the process the LAV's destroyed over a dozen Iraqi armor before the Iraqi's broke and retreated.

  1064.  @saeed6811  I Did. Russia has gone from having 25% of Ukraine to 20% and 4 months later, 21% and now just 3 weeks after is down to 18%. The Ukrainians have crossed the Siversky Donets River, they are north of Lyman it's sole supply route at Zarichne is closer to the Ukrainian lines than it is to the city. To the north the Russians have fled Kharkiv back into Russia. The vaunted 1st Guards Tank Regiment, the unit that was indented to break NATO tank divisions has been broken, again, by a collection of APC's and gun trucks backed by a hand full of tanks and left behind almost half their armor and much of their ammunition. Kershon continues, it is fall and already the Russians struggle to provide supplies to their fighters and soon the mud will come, then the winter and mud again. So bad now that the Russians have moved their artillery out of the north bank just to keep them safe and so the supply trucks could get to them. And in doing so signal that Russia has given up offensive action in Kershon.

  1089.  @toyrssvigs8220  The USAF will not launch ICBM's at russia, but they can send a much smaller but more effective weapon, 15-20 or so B-2's with a pair of GBU-57A/B's to destroy the Russian control and communications bunkers, which in theory would destroy or cripple their control net before they even knew the war had started. F-35's will then knock out the Russian radars, and communication nodes.

We know this because of the metadata in the tweets that he's been sending and the recipients of calls from Trump have noted that it's the same number that he's had since before the election. Oh and if someone on a secure phone calls someone who is on an unsecured phone, then neither phone is secure.

The US is building more F-35's per month than the Russians have built in a year. 6th Gen, a US 6th gen prototype has already flown and they've ordered the timeline to be sped up, the Russian 6th gen from what I find is still a dream. 3. Artillery and terrain, The US via SAAB/Boeing have a solution for that. 4. Ukrainians are still using attack drones, they are doing so in cooperation with Ukrainian ECM units. 7-China, China's economy is about 17% of the world's economy but it depends on exports to the country that has 25% of the world's economy.

  1123.  @levansegnaro4637  dude, you are not thinking aeronautics. Quads are among the least efficient systems around. Build the a 16-20ft wingspan glider, solar panels on the upward facing surface, batteries to power it at night. Armament are 2-4 mortar rounds or heat rounds with maneuvering fins. Drone goes up, orbits, when it finds a target, asks the operator for weapon release authorization.

You can for example take an F-35C and fly it to an Air Force base and the USAF pilots can be flying it without any modifications. You can't take the USAF's F-35A and land it on a carrier, not without building a new plane.

  1180.  @deansawich6250  Welcome to warfare, equipment breaks down as you use them, and they break down faster the higher the the tempo. Old tracked vehicles like the M113 get worn down faster than new M2 Bradleys, the M777's have been in heavy use, firing 16 times more than during peacetime. So by this time almost 1/3 of them are in need of repairs at any given time. Back when the USMC had them, they had 4 pieces firing 2,300 rounds in 5 months. 3 of the 4 had to be replaced with M777's from Kuwait.

  1183. When you testify before the Senate that is sworn testimony, lie and it's perjury with all the risks of prosecution on a federal level which would endanger her career. Ford has provided 4 written affidavits from 4 different people. The 3rd accuser has similarly provided a sworn testimony. The one person who could support Kavanaugh's claim that he did nothing has refused to testify in support of or against him. So I'm wondering why he won't support his "friend" if he did nothing wrong? Who do you think is lying. The three people who have provided sworn testimony or the one who refuses to be questioned under oath?

  1185.  @doctorjivago5081  You can have a 1,000,000kg FAB, the bigger the bomb the closer the plane has to be to be able to drop it. The distance is dependent on altitude and speed of the aircraft and the outer range is about 40km The higher the altitude of the aircraft the earlier it can be detected, at 40,000ft a MiG sized aircraft can be detected at over 250 nautical miles. The faster the aircraft flies the further out a SAM can hit it.

Where US pilots average 150-300 hours a year depending on where they are in their flight career (lots of time while Lt to Commander, less as you hit Captain because you are now being groomed for a star) the average Russian pilot averages 40-60 hours a year with almost no BFM training. As one Navy pilot said, 40 hours means you learned to navigate, take off and land and fly formation and push buttons. Where the Navy has the Navy Fighter Weapon school, the USAF has it's Weapon school for the F-15, F-16, F-35 and even A-10. The Russians shut down theirs in 1991.

  1199. Alexander Duke Actually it does. The reporter can ask any question she wants. And since Donald Trump is a public figure, has been since the 1980's he has no expectation of privacy. And as President, everything he says, reads, signs, writes have to be cataloged, documented, recorded and stored in accordance with the Presidential Records act and they have to be available to the public save for classified materials which can be kept secret for a specified period of time. At which point they are to be released in full. If he wanted privacy, he should not have gone on TV and courted media attention. And he definitely should not have run for public office, especially an office where everything you say, write, read and do is recorded.

The US can always just use the authorized aid funds for 2023 to purchase 64 new build F-16 block 70's, there are a number being built, the US can re-direct them and tell their customer that their aircraft will be delayed. LM can go to 3 shifts and build 12 F-16's a month. This means that as many as 8 F-16 Block 70's can be built for Ukraine. As I see it the US can build them 96 aircraft for the next two years and then slow down to 36 planes a year if the war is still going.

  1250. Question, can you control the number of rounds fired by the Vulcan in the F-22? Ie select 50/100/200 or unlimited rounds per trigger pull? I think in the F-14 one can limit it to 100/200 rounds per trigger pull and full shoot as long as the trigger is held down, on top of that, there is a high/low rate of fire. As the F-22 has essentially the same though lighter gun, I'm assuming that it has the same options.

They ruled that Trump had not presented any evidence or testimony that he owned the documents, that changing the classification of the classified documents from Secret to unclassified did not change the ownership of the documents and did not make them his property. They determined that Donald Trump did not own any of the documents, that he did not have any right to them nor was there any possibility that he would ever have any right to have access to them or own them. They ruled that Judge Cannon had no authority to intervene in the case, that her ruling to appoint a special master was without cause or authority and ordered her to release the documents to the DOJ and allow the DOJ to continue with their investigation.

Russia can't mobilize because that would cannibalize it's economy. Russia issued a call for new recruits and failed to meet it's recruitment goals. In contrast, Ukraine called for volunteers and so many showed up that they did not have enough units to take them or trainers to train them. Those who were turned away came back later or picked up a rifle (bought their own or got one from the government) and went off into the woods to hunt russians and joined up with other volunteers.

It's a new policy and it specifically targets kids who were conceived using artificial insemination or a use surrogate to carry the child to term. In this case both parents are US citizens, but the state department does not recognize them as being married and because they used a surrogate, is insisting that the citizenship of the surrogate is what applies.

At that time the FBI asked to see the contents of other boxes in the room where the documents had been kept, the Trump lawyers refused. In July the FBI went and got a search warrant and served it in August. After a day of searching the FBI found 2x as many documents as the Lawyers did between February and June of 2022.. Documents that the Trump lawyers said did not exist. Aside from the "secured storage" room, they also found them in open unsecured boxes and drawers in Trump's office.

  1405. The F-14 took on the strike role because the A-6 was being retired and the F/A-18C did not have the legs. In order to bomb targets that the A-6 would normally handle the F/A-18C had to use 3 external tanks and could only carry a pair of 1000lb or 2,000lb bombs. They found that the F-14 could carry 4 1,000lb bombs, a targeting pod (a kit bashed unit made from the pod used by the F-16 and wired to the RIO's cockpit), an AIM-7, 2 AIM-9's and two bags. Also in this configuration, the F-14 could go 1,000 mph (ground speed) while flying at 50,000ft.

As to "nutrient rich seed pods", trees have been seeding for millions of years without that. The reason it takes so long to plant a tree is because they want to plant trees with a specified distance between them. Nature has no such restriction. Put a couple million tree seeds into a spreader put it inside a C-130 and fly the the Herc over the target area and start seeding. Repeat as needed.

In 1941 40% of the Soviet medium tanks were British tanks. Almost 1/3 of the aviation fuel used by the Soviet Union from 1941-1945 came from the USA Without the aid delivered, Russia would still be fighting Germany a year after the western allies entered Berlin.

  1440.  @andreyd8116  HIMARS is the reason why Kherson and the west bank of the Dnipro is in Ukrainan control and why the Russian artillery rate of fire is 25-50% less than what it was in the first couple of months of 2022. Push the supply depot past 150km to the front and you halve the supply truck deliveries. If your manual says you use 600 rounds of arty to eliminate 1 infantry platoon, and moving the depot back 75km and dispursing them resulted in your deliveries being halved, and now they will be halved again. Your going to burn through 3-4 days worth of deliveries on each anti platoon fire mission. When that ukrainan push comes, a lot of people are going to be screaming for artillery that will never respond, just like at Kharkiv and Lyman.

The 1st year of the Trump administration the Federal Budget deficit went up to 665 billion, then in 2018 it went up to 779 billion, in 2019 it is expected to hit 1,091 billion. Now remember where Obama's deficit was about saving the US economy, Trump's budget deficit is at a time when there shouldn't be a budget deficit. And before you whine that I'm making up these numbers here they are. https://www.thebalance.com/us-deficit-by-year-3306306 National Debt, Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-national-debt-deficit-compared-to-obama-bush-clinton-2019-2 Again Obama added debt at a time of the worst recession since the Great Depression, so it's expected that the debt will increase as the Federal Government pours money into and extends unemployment benefits attempts to jumpstart the economy with federal infrastructure programs, cuts taxes to encourage spending. Trump's spending comes at a time when the Federal budget deficit should be decreasing as increased tax revenue pours into the federal coffers and fewer unemployment claims are being paid out and the government is not having to prime the country's economic engine.

During Desert Storm, when 90% of the munitions used by the US were "dumb" bombs, they flew 116,000 combat air sorties and dropped 88,500 tons of bombs over a six-week period. The Iraqi government said that 2,300 civilians died during the air campaign. After that war the US switched to smart munitions and by the Invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, 90% of bombs used were smart bombs. By then, control was so tight that it was common for planes would land with their bombs still attached to the plane

  1476.  @nekopop8159  They did not nerf the HIMARS, they just did not provide the ATACM which is the long range rocket used by the HIMARS. As previously mentioned there is a 150km rocket in the works that can be used by HIMARS and the other MLRS that use the same rocket pods. It's the Boeing/SAAB Ground Launched Small Diameter bomb. Essentially it's a surplus 250lb bomb with a Glide and guidance kit bolted on top of a M27 rocket motor. The kit costs about 40,000 USD each.

  1489.  @xr2kid  In a few months, the new artillery shell factory that the US is building will be completed and production will increase. Combined with EU production, the West will be able to meet the Ukrainian's artillery needs with a surplus. As many as 96 F-16's have been promised to Ukraine and more will become available as the USAF continue to trade in their F-16's for F-35's. By 2030 the entire USAF A-10 fleet will be available for anyone who wants them. Sweden is providing the Ukrainians a pair of AWACS along with the training needed to operate and maintain them. Based on the needs on the ground, the lack of other providers, the US will probably have to provide as many as 300-400 M1 tanks to Ukraine.

  1492. Joshua Wood. You may be projecting. Liberals don't want to control everything, we tend to want governments to stay out of our sex lives for one. Liberals don't want the government to control speech, We supported the ACLU which as I recall sued to allow Nazi's the right to hold a parade. Identity politics, both conservative and liberals have that to some extent. Liberals don't view certain races as superior, if anything we think they are all equal. Abolishing Christianity while embracing Islam, ok that's a bit silly. Liberals are often Christians, Catholics, Jesuit, Baptists even. Some of the most prominent Liberals have been pastors, priests and nuns.

  1500. As much as I want Ukraine to win, Russia's advancing at a rate that is on pace with what a mechanized army would normally advance. Roughly the distance that their supply trucks can travel delivering supplies 3 times a day, about 40-60 miles a day. The Russians are offering to negotiate, but this also buys them time to move more troops up (they've only committed 1/3 of them), bring up more supplies and re-supply their troops inside Ukraine. That means the Ukrainians need more than just more weapons, munitions, ammo and other gear, and definitely more than just prayers and wishes. They are going to need armor, planes and tanks and trained people to use them.

  1501. Binkov. Low to high attacks are valid and Ukraine has used them a few times. And Russia has been risk averse, pulling back it's entire SU-34 fleet out of Ukrainian skies and relegating them to attacks from outside Ukrainian airspace and restricting all attacks directly over the forward battle area to extremely low altitudes after they lost less than a dozen of the Su-30 and 34 to SAM's and low flying Ukrainian interceptors.

  1531. To the host and guest, only a small fraction of the shipping that was attacked by the Huthis were affiliated with Israel, most were European and US ships including US naval vessels. The US will not tolerate such attacks on global trade and it's Naval vessels. They were warned, and yet they launched 27 attacks. So yes, the strikes were limited strikes and are covered under the war powers act.

What was unsaid is why he could not get supplies to the troops defending Kherson, and that was because HIMARS and hit the supply depots so often that they had to be moved further to the rear and they had to be broken up into smaller bases. Add the damaged bridges and the pontoon bridges getting hit a lot by artillery and HIMARS. And he could not supply the troops as quickly as they used up ammunition.

Bearings give out, lubrication issues can occur due to heat, electrical components fail. And before you say electrical components don't fail, electrical components failing is one of the leading automotive failures in call cars including Tesla's which have already developed a reputation as being one of the least reliable cars due to various electronic components failing.

Assault rifles have a bayonet lug, and mounting points for a grenade launcher, the AR-15 does not. Neither is the standard ammo for the AR-15 "high powered", it's actually one of the least powerful ammunition used by rifles.

This followed one of the fastest land wars that saw the destruction of 100 planes at night over the enemy capital, attacking and destroying every air defense system they could find. This was followed by ground war that saw Iraq losing more tanks in 100 hours than Russia lost in 6 months in Ukraine

For this to work the projectile velocity above 800ft/sec and you have to make the projectile stable, probably by putting fins on the projectile and putting streamlining the projectile (put a point on the front end). In short, you need to take the bullet from a normal firearm and put tailfins on it.

In all, the civilian deaths was less per year than in Ukraine It helped that by Iraq II, the US had moved on to using guided munitions 90% of the time Libya - What's his face Afghanistan - Taliban harboring Al-Queda after the 9/11 attack in New York causing the deaths of more Americans than the attack by the Japanese Imperial Navy on December 7 1941 Care to guess what happened after 12/7/1941??? Syria - We decided to help out the anti-government forces, we did not do much bombing btw, strictly localized in the Kurdish and Iraqi area as we were more focused on the ISIS threat Serbia - I guess you missed the reason for that, Siege of Sarevejo, murder of civillians, Serbs going into US "safe" zones kidnapping men and young boys and executing them.

  1750. Funny part, that was the Tomcat's 1st cruise period, The pilots did not know about the engine problems, so they would take off, with the standard F-4 war air to air war load and at the end of the patrol would dogfight any plane that would come out to play. they'd be pulling 5-8g, going in and out of burner, max angle of attack, chopping power to one engine and kicking full rudder (into the idling engine) while the other was in full burner in order to max turn the aircraft. The familiarization flight included one where the pilot takes off, goes full burner and puts the nose up near vertical and keeps climbing until the plane runs out of airspeed and stalls and falls out of the sky. At that point, the pilot was supposed to recover the plane and go about the rest of the "to do" list for that flight. A few years later almost all of that would be on the banned procedures list.

Add to this that it only has enough logistics vehicles to support 1/2 of the forces it deploys. Now factor in the sustained war, losing 2 of the 4 theaters after sustaining 5-10% casualties and lost equipment, having to send those troops back into combat before they were fully refitted and brought back to pre deployment levels and sending them back into the same meat grinder again. Yeah they'll fight, but they are going to keep taking losses at a higher rate than before and faster than the Ukrainians are losing people.

No During the 1st weeks of the war, Ukraine moved most of it's mobile SAMs, Radars and aircraft and most of those that were not able to be moved were hit on the 1st couple of days. At that point almost all the air defense of Ukraine was handled by the Ukrainian MiG-29's and SU-27, and they got some kills but took horrific losses as they were literally flying blind and without radios. By March, the mobile SAM's were once again up and running, and the Ukrainians regained control of the airspace over central Ukraine and the Russian Air Force stopped flying beyond the front lines. That is the status as of 4/17/2023

  1919. Maverick and Rooster are stealing the F-14 to escape. Su-57 will be one of the planes sent to stop them. Oh, and the F-14 is capable of out turning the Su-57, for one, repeat one turn. I've seen the F-14 do a 9g turn with it's wings folded back and at 500 knots is said to be capable of 10g without damaging the airframe. A pilot once pulled 13g in one then limped home and landed the thing. It's power on stall speed appears to be slower than the Su-57's so at speeds below 250 knots it will have more available g and turn rate than the Su-57 though the 57's trust vectoring might be able to compensate at the cost of forward velocity and lift. So a viable counter to the Su-57's low speed thrust vector turn could be to for the F-14 to merge below 350 knots, entice the 57 to vector thrust and when it does, go vertical force the 57 to vector thrust even more and stall it's wings, then drop the 14's nose back down and gun the 57. (it's an F-15 tactic used against Indian Su-30 pilots who tried to use that plane's vector thrust in a dogfight)

  1961. @bryonslatten3147  Re F-111. Flying at night means they were attacking immobile targets. As a rule, the Iraqis did not like to fight at night. So the F-111's were attacking static targets. The A-10's in question attacked 3 different Iraqi units in 3 different locations as they were moving to engage US mechanized infantry. They only counted the ones that brewed up, they did not count the ones that were just smoking. T-55's T-62's don't have the armor of later models, not the roof, back to top of the hills. This is because the protection is expected to resist an attack from the same height more or less as the tank.

Using this prevents you from getting cut, burnt and infected lips and HCV exposures. (not glass pipe, it is the plastic or nylon tip that goes into a stem, my dad use to use these back when he smoked cigarettes and tobacco pipes) Rubber Bands: Wrap these around the end of the stem to prevent lip burns (be aware that with hear these occasionally melt and snap). Triple Antibiotic Ointment: First Aid for sores. Do not use for burns. Alcohol Wipes: Use these to clean mouthpieces and pipes, especially if you a are sharing equipment. Antiseptic Towelettes: Use these to clean off our hands (and your John if you are doing sex work). Chore Boy/Brio: Use this as a filter in the stem. After repeated heating choy becomes hot and brittle and can be sucked into your throat. This provides an opportunity for you to be exposed to diseases, especially during unprotected oral sex. Change out your choy often. Screen: 1 inch screens are used as a filer in the stem. These are better than choy since they last longer. Vitamin C & E: Vitamin C helps lessen fatigue and crashing. Vitamin E will help cuts, sores and burns heal. Condoms (lubed and unlubed): Use lubed condoms for vaginal and anal sex, use unlubed for oral sex. See any syringes??? No???

If he says "I declassify that" but tells no one about it, it's not declassified as there is no record of it being declassified.. 2. it's goverment property, WTF is it doing in Mar-a-lago? 3. he was ordered to return that to the NARA, WTF is it still in Mar-a-lago? 4.

The US did not fly SR-71's over hostile countries, they would fly them along the border, but unless that particular country was at war with the US, the SR-71 would stay just outside of the 12 mile national border. Part of the anti-missile and radar evasion is to fly perpendicular to the direction of the SAM Radars as this can break the Radar's lock and reduces the defending missile's effective engagement range.

This continued through the USSR times as they did not want any challenges to the state.

Mueller believes that because the DOJ's decisionmaking process is run by Trump loyalist whose primary goal is to protect Trump, he's leaving it to Congress to decide if the evidence he gave is enough for impeachment or if they want to send it out to the State prosecutors.

Frankly the only one I can find is the 20/30 round box magazine, but I can put that magazine on a bolt action rifle and that does not make the bolt action hunting rifle an "assault weapon" I mean, a hunting rifle, that uses a 7.62mm, or .308cal round will kill at ranges that the 5.56mm round can't even reach.

  2236. Ukraine had a public vote 95% opted not to be part of the Russian Federation. Ukraine also voted to be part of the EU. A Russian supported candidate ran for the leadership spot and engaged in ballot stuffing. A few years later same candidate won the office and proceeded to sabotage the EU membership in favor of a Russian trade pact to the opposition of the parliament and the majority of the Ukrainian population. That led to violent protests and him fleeing by helicopter in the dead of the night to Russia where he now sits. Russia then invades Crimea and annexes it, starts up, funds and arms militias in Eastern Ukraine to attack and destabilize the Ukrainians and keep them from interfering in Crimea. And now here we are, Stage 2 of Putin's Ukrainian adventure.

That means tanks with depleted Uranium armor instead of the tungsten armor that Saudi M1's had which the Russian RPG's can penetrate, armor that is no better than the Russian armor.

  2270.  @bobwallace9753  If you use your brain you find the weight of the semi is about 5,000 to 10,000lb more than a diesel semi. A 500mile class 8 diesel semi weighs about 15,000lb. When you do your math to calculate the weight, find the weight of the diesel truck and remove the weight of the engine, transmission, fuel tanks and fuel, all of these are available online from the various manufacturers of the truck, the engine and transmission. This leaves you more or less the weight of the chassis and body. What you'll find is the weight of all that stuff that was removed is still less than the weight of the tesla's battery. The battery of the Tesla Semi is 13,000-17,000lb, this puts the actual weight of the Tesla around 23,000-27,000lbs. Now look up the weight of the trailer and the weight of the cargo container, that too is available. What you have is called the tare weight, subtract the tare weight from the max allowed weight and you have the max cargo weight and the conclusion that you need to buy more tesla trucks, hire more drivers, pay more in salaries and benefits to move the same cargo than you would if you were using diesel trucks.

  2284.  @allgoo1964  The answer is the same. If you want Universal Healthcare, the most cost efficent way is to expand the existing Medicare System which covers seniors to all ages. And you fund it by increasing the tax rate by 11% (no exemptions for income). It ends up costing less per capita than the current private healthcare system without loss. You still have the private insurance but now they are just for supplementary insurance. You still have private hospitals and practices, it's just the payor that changes. From the hospital/practice POV it's cheaper in that the clerical work is reduced by 50-75%. I work on that side and most of my time is spent chasing down unpaid claims. The one company I never have to chase down claims for is Medicare. I send a claim they either pay it or not. I get a notice why it's not paid and I can find out what to correct. There is no pre-authorization required prior to treatment, no BS about additional paper work, no being bounced from one Insurance company to another insurance company trying to find out who is the actual payor. I don't have to apply to 50 different insurance companies with different passwords and logins and different enrollment requirements. I apply once, and renew it once every 3 years.

  2291.  @das81  Let's put it this way, When Ukraine put out a call for volunteers to fight the Russians, more men and women showed up than they had training slots available for them. So they offered to have them come back a week later. Many did not wait, opting instead to go to the nearest armory and pick up a rifle from there or went to the local gun store, they then proceeded to go into the woods to hunt Russians. When Russia had their partial mobilization of 300k men, almost 400k Russian men fled the country. Yeah, Russia lost this when Ukrainian babushkas started making molotov cocktails to greet the Russians instead of cupcakes.

  2302.  @louisgiokas2206  What the US has can be deduced from the reports the US military have filed over the years and procurement that they submit to congress. So take the procurement (in the case of Patriot, it's accurate down to the number of missiles and what type), subract the expendure and you get a pretty accurate number. And no, it's not classified. As to what was sent, the US also itemized that to a certain degree (they round out the number of bullets). It's why when Republicans opposed to this war whine about not knowing what was sent, you can be 100% certain they are lying to you because they receive weekly if not daily lists of what was sent. And no, that's not classified either.

So an armed attack against a member nation has taken place, and Russia being on the Security Council is not going to allow the UN to impose a cease fire or order Russia to withdraw to pre invasion positions, so it will block any and all measures to impose that. Article 51 thus is active and Ukraine can ask for and receive any and all assistance from any nation in it's effort to defend itself from the Russian invasion.

  2315.  @natehammar7353  Why would you need the carrier when it's easier and safer to use a tanker? If you use a carrier, from the time it lands to the time it leaves the deck, the carrier's entire air wing, can't use the flight deck. Planes that are in the air, that need to be re-fueled can't because tankers can't take off or land. Fresh fighters can't be launched and the ones that are in the air can't land.

  2371.  @warlordofbritannia  Donald Trump went on a tirade about judges loyal to Clinton presiding over his lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and filed his case in the one district with a single federal judge, that Judge was Aileen Cannon. Unfortunately for him instead of his pet judge, it ended up with U.S. District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks. When Trump tried to get Middlebrooks to recluse himself from the case, Middlebrooks called him out in a snarky footnote. In his response, Middlebrook writes “I note that Plaintiff filed this lawsuit in the Fort Pierce division of this District, where only one federal judge sits: Judge Aileen Cannon, who Plaintiff appointed in 2020. Despite the odds, this case landed with me instead. And when Plaintiff is a litigant before a judge that he himself appointed, he does not tend to advance these same sorts of bias concerns,” This week Judge Middlebrooks dismissed the lawsuit in a 65 page ruling stating that Trump's lawsuit was a 200-page "political manifesto outlining his grievances against those that have opposed him." and that what the suit "lacks in substance and legal support it seeks to substitute with length, hyperbole, and the settling of scores and grievances,".

The Marines immediately formed a firing line with the LAV's and returned fire with cannon, ATGM and AT4's and called for air support. 2 Cobras showed up attacked the Iraqis with 20mm and rockets. Upon seeing the Cobra's attacking the Iraqis, the Marine commander ordered his LAV's to attack and all 7 LAV's charged the Iraqi tanks, in the ensuing melee the Marines destroyed multiple tanks and other armored vehicles causing the Iraqis to retreat. The Marines continued to attack them for then next mile or so before letting them escape. The Marines lost 0 of 7 LAV's and destroyed 34 Iraqi tanks and armored vehicles and captured over 300 Iraqi troops. That's what a trained group of soldiers can do when ambushed while out gunned and out numbered.

If you have a problem with what I said, take it up with Elon Musk because he one the one who said that the robots slowed down the production line and that the production line was too automated and that he need more humans on the assembly line. I brought up GM because GM operated the plant that is now the Tesla factory and as I said GM experienced the same issues that Tesla did when it began to increase the automation on the assembly line. And yes every car manufacturer uses automation and robots to build cars. And every single one still has people in the assembly line and many like Ford are experimenting with going to hand held robots or augmenting devices.

That's because the players/pilots are doing everything they can to break the radar locks and close the distances in order to give their missiles the best chance at killing their targets. That means chaff, beaming the enemy radar, using terrain (hills and mountains) to block the enemy radar while closing the distance. And with the stealth mods, WVR is even more common as pilots are forced to close within 30 miles to get a lock, 5-10 miles to get a missile shot.

The piston plane's are the ones that use leaded gas, about 170,000 of them. There is a program to find a lead free fuel. Alternatively, when batteries become light enough, they might be forced to switch to electric motors driving props.

  2498.  @againstviralmisinformation510  The problem is getting the ammo from the supply depot that had to be moved from 30km behind the user to 90-120 km to avoid having them blown up by HIMARS. it means 10 trucks delivering once a day now deliver once every other day

  2499.  @againstviralmisinformation510  Yes, but that solves the distance problem but creates another problem of having to make more trips from the supply hub to the hidden and smaller depot. So your 10 trucks went from doing 1 trip to 3

  2501.  @robertatkins272  In the days following February's deadly Texas blackouts one thing became clear: A big reason people lost power is because natural gas was not getting to power plants. - KUT 90.5 Equipment essential to the production, processing and transport of gas failed in the freeze, leaving power plants starved for fuel and the state starved of power. Electric demand for heat across the state was soaring, as expected, but green dots on the corner state map started flipping to red. Each was a regional power generator, and they were spontaneously shutting down — three coal plants followed quickly by a gas plant in Corpus Christi. - Bloomberg News Many of Texas power producers did not winterize so when the cold hit, the controls froze and the power plants that used gas and coal could not get fuel.

  2502. Romania and Turkey are Black Sea countries. So as part of it's NATO defense commitment the UK can park the entire RAF in Romania and secure the Black Sea. The US can base air wings in Poland. From Poland, they can patrol the international waters of the Black Sea and their armed security flights will fly over central and southern Ukraine, over Odessa on their way to the Black Sea.

You can mock them all you want but when it comes down to a street confrontation between these guys and folks on your side, they'll mop the floor with your people for a very simple reason. They act as a group, they know what they are doing, they know to protect their flanks all the while you'll see uncoordinated efforts to assault their lines failing because your side has no clue as to what is happening right in front of them. I know this cause I've watched it happen here in Los Angeles, I've seen your "justice warriors" flail against them and tossed aside and pummeled and kicked till they run in fear. These idiots are preparing for a war and you are expecting whom to defend you? Me? I may agree with many of your positions but I find your approach to protecting yourself and what you claim to want to protect to be pathetically weak.

Btw If the chassis is too stiff, during an impact what ever energy that is not dissipated by the chassis bending will get transmitted to the passengers.

  2557.  @qpunk1  Rule of thumb, the russian tooth to tail ratio is officially 1 combatant to 1.5 support.

  2558.  @qpunk1  That's in the south, not North, The Ukrainians have reached the northern borders of Russian and Ukraine in places and have forced the Russians back into Russia. In the South, the Russian destroyed a dam and the river is now swollen flooding the towns along the river (so much for Russians valuing civilian lives and property) this has destroyed or damaged the pontoon bridges used by Ukrainians to create a bridgehead. Only problem for the Russians there is their supply deliveries in that area are down to 20% of what they need because the Ukrainians cut the 3 bridges the Russians needed to bring supplies and armor.

For comparison, if the Ukrainians were firing their 155mm guns at the same rate that US forces were firing their 155mm guns at the charging Chinese army in Korea, the Ukrainians today would be firing 170,000 155mm shells every month or 18 times more than the Russian army is firing, or a total of almost half a million 122mm to 155mm shells every month

The Ukrainians held on despite a concerted attack by Russian troops until Ukrainians forces from from the north arrived and the Russians retreated to avoid being surrounded.

It sent 76 BTG's to Ukraine, based on it's current losses it, after refitting and bringing back those units to pre invasion strength, it only has enough excess logistical support for another 9 BTG's. Meanwhile Ukraine is getting more trucks faster than they are losing them.

  2669. Gen, Hertling is wrong about the law prohibiting Americans from serving in foreign armies. The law prohibits serving in armies that are hostile to the USA, it does not prohibit service in the armed forces of neutral or allied countries provided they do not do so while inside the USA or it's territories. Translation, You can join the IDF, German military, Ukrainian Army if you leave the US and travel to that country and join up there. " the neutrality laws were never designed to prevent individuals from leaving the United States to fight for a cause in which they believed. There is nothing in the neutrality laws which prevents refugees from Cuba from returning to that country to engage in the fight for freedom. Nor is an individual prohibited from departing from the United States, with others of like belief, to join still others in a second country for an expedition against a third country…What the law does prohibit is a group organized as a military expedition from departing from the United States to take action as a military force against a nation with whom the United States is at peace." the late Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy

In October 1941, the USS Reuben James was sunk by a German U-boat as she escorted a convoy headed for England. Total US aid to the USSR was about 180 billion (current dollars) roughly 2x what we have given Ukraine to date. This was 400,000 jeeps & trucks (about 1/3 of all the trucks used by the USSR), 14,000 airplanes (30% of all USSR aircraft production), 8,000 tractors, 13,000 tanks, 1.5 million blankets, 15 million pairs of army boots, 107,000 tons of cotton, 2.7 million tons of petrol products, 4.5 million tons of food.

  2722. Re F-14, bombing was built into the F-14 from the prototype aircraft to the last F-14D built. It had the bombing system from the A-7. per F-14 test pilots. Also, the slowest F-14 with 4x1000lb bombs, 2 AIM-9's 1 AIM-7 and a targeting pod, is faster than a clean (unarmed, no cannon ammo, just internal fuel) F/A-18A/B/C/D or E or any version of the F-35. Re additional capabilities: what was a late life add on was the targeting pod (from the F-16), there was no money for this so Dale "Snort" Snodgrass who at the time was Commander Fighters Wing, Atlantic, took the money for AIM-120 integration and used it to purchase the F-16's AN/AAQ-14 Targeting Pod and integrated it into the F-14's. Come OIF and his F-14's were strike leads for F/A-18's and USAF F-15E's.

So the new plan is to take M1A1's that had already been upgraded from storage and send those to Ukraine

  2756.  @catocall7323  Hence the Ukrainian tactic of locating and blowing up Russian ammo depots and distribution centers that are within reach. The Russian response is to move those back east and south. But every 12 miles that you move the depot back adds 2 hours to the munitions/supply delivery time.

Trump was given an opportunity to rebut those charges, instead Trump ordered all the agencies and offices involved to not cooperate and refused to provide documents and ordered witnesses to not appear before the House. So he effectively chose not to defend himself. Now tell me, in any criminal trial, if the defendant, refuses to make any effort to provide a defense, calls no witnesses, makes no effort to rebut the prosecutor's claims. Would the jury find him not guilty or would the jury go ahead and render a verdict just based on the prosecutor's evidence and arguments.

  2861.  @davidbeppler3032  Considering I bought the car for $800 and the rebuild cost less than $3,000 and took less than a week of work, I'd say I came out ahead. Heck even if you factor in the fuel and manintenace, it's still less than what a Model 3 would cost when you consider that the mileage I put on that 10 year old car is the equivalent of 30 years of stop and go driving. Frankly I don't know of any Teslas that would withstand that. Even the one's that are being used commercially are garaged and receive almost weekly maintenance checks from a certified shop, where as my Honda was parked out in the open and I was the one doing the maintenance with only a the manuals from Chilton and Hayes as a guide. Before you say that Tesla's have no maintenance, I'd call BS, other than the Electric motor, Teslas have same mechanical components you find in ICE cars. Teslas, like all cars have wheel bearings, tie rods, struts, CV joints, electric cooling fans (teslas have a lot more fans). Oh and the electrics, yay, in the 500,000 miles I put on the honda the only electronic part that failed were the speakers. When someone backed into the hood of my Honda, I got it replaced the next day, painted over the weekend, when someone broke the windshield, I called someone and they came and replaced the windshield in front of my house that same afternood.
    3
  2862.  @davidbeppler3032  while the Tesla costs less in fuel/power, actual running cost is almost double. Based on my average annual mileage the Tesla (total purchase price of 57k) would cost me 47k/yr to just in electricity and maintenance while the Accord cost me about 25k a year in fuel and repairs.

  2863.  @davidbeppler3032  Let's see The Honda's tires cost about $81 each and are rated for about 70,000 miles. The comparable tire for the Model 3 costs about 109 each and are rated for 75,000 miles. So with the average annual mileage of between 110,000-115,000 miles/yr The Honda will cost about $648 in tires while the Model 3 will cost $872 each year. And I can replace the lug nuts for $1.35 each and have in my hand in the time it takes to go to store.
    3
  2864.  @davidbeppler3032  I bought the Honda for work and I expected to put about and did put 110,000 miles a year on it. So high dependability, ease of repairs, inexpensive and easy to find parts were a priority. The tire I used for the Honda in this example is the upgraded tire for this model, it was wider was rated for higher loads, speed and grip. Standard practice for me is at the first opportunity I replace the tires with the widest tire the rims can safely handle in order to maximize the available stopping performance. If I wanted to really cheap out I could go much lower.

  2878.  @willbass2869  True, a grunt with a TOW can kill a tank, but the tank with it's IR and multi power optics and heavy machine guns and cannon can kill the infantryman as he tries line up that shot. A number of Ukrainians AGTM teams died when the cannon rounds from the BMP's and BTR that they were trying to kill reached them before they could launch their own missile. Then there is the infantry squad that is supposed to be traveling with the tank providing an infantry screen, their job is to find the ATGM team and kill them or at least warn the tank and their IFV

In the same vein, the USAF expected to lose every single European based F-15, F-16, and F-111 in the 1st 1-2 months of fighting. And they expected to lose the replacements nearly as quickly. Got that from the various reports and analysis during the 80's when the Warsaw pact was still a threat.

The same court that lectured her in writing over her lack of legal judgment and nonsense rulings. Where Cannon entertained the claim that Trump owned the documents and thus was not required to return them to the Government, the 11th lectured Cannon on the laws of that governed ownership, in that changing the status of a document from classified to unclassified, does not change the ownership of the documents, and that Trump had not provided a single item of proof that he had actually de-classified the documents in question or proof that he owned the documents. This written dressing down, the total reversals of her rulings forced Cannon to drop the case, fire her own special master and crawl back to her Fort Pierce Court.

Sure it can take out a city block and kill dozens of people, but we only need one plane and 2 bombs.

  3023.  @ajayraj-qz7tt  If you lived in Ukraine and missed the part where Ukraine use to be the forward staging area for the Soviet Union's armies. Ukraine had a large number of soviet era equipment but most of it was not in service due to lack of funds to keep them maintained and it's armed forces had been reduced to about 125,000 service personnel, almost all their equipment were either Russian made or Ukrainian versions of Russian equipment. The current Ukrainian armed forces are still almost entirely Ukrainians with maybe 700,000 people (army, air force, border guards, national guards) and 30,000 foreign volunteers. It's equipment is still mostly Russian kit with a smattering of western kit, (all the tanks are Russian, and there are 10 russian artillery guns for every western artillery piece). No, the Russians are using the excuse that they are facing a NATO army to cover up their shame that their vaunted elite army is being beaten by an army where only 1 in 6 is a professional soldier.

If the House Judiciary committee sends the articles of impeachment to the floor of the House, and the House passes it, Donald J Trump would be impeached. Even if the Senate acquits him, Donald J Trump would still have been impeached. The only thing the Senate will decide is will he be removed from office and if so, will he be barred from holding any government office afterwards.

Could not be tortured or be subject to humiliating or degrading treatment. It's the same reason they chose to put them in Gitmo and other overseas facilities.

Heck the Sheriff right now is selling a story about a reporter's arrest that he knows is a lie and has been proven to be a lie by multiple videos, recordings, eye witness testimonies. He even called said reporter an "activist" when her published reports show no such thing. He claimed that she did not have a press pass, well guess what, you don't need a LASD press pass to report on a protest that is going on outside on the street. You only need a LASD press pass if you are going to report at a LASD sponsored event, a LASD press briefing, or are inside an LASD building.

  3148. Re the requirement to certify that weapons provided to the country be used in accordance to international law. The US demanded this same thing when it provided aid to Ukraine and it was and is fighting an organized military that had 5 times the artillery, aircraft than Ukraine did. Here's a simple one. Don't use unguided 2,000lb bomb in a civilian area. Remind me, how many times did USAF/USMC/USN aircraft abort bombing runs to avoid civilian casualties? How often did they opt to use 20mm instead of the 500lb bomb because of the potential of killing civilians? So no, I don't accept that the IDF can't guarantee that it will use them in accordance to international law.

  3155.  @runem5429  Tanks were "obsolete" when they were introduced during WW1. They were too slow, too sluggish, they often got stuck in the very trenches that they were created to breach, heavy rifles could penetrate their armor, the exposed ammunition was in danger of coking off, it was so hot inside the tank that the crews often stripped down to shorts. At the start of WW2 tanks were obsolete, the guns were too weak, many were armed with 20mm cannons, armor was thin, a horse drawn cannon could blow it up. range was meh. After the war the ATGM arrived and made the tank obsolete as two soldiers could kill a whole platoon of tanks. now it's the drone, and again cries of the tank's obsolescence abound, that the age of the tank is over. No, drones are just a temporary threat that have already signaled how they can be neutralized. the only question is how to implement it.

  3156.  @STINKYcheese9  Did the US budget the cost of WW2 post December 7? Did they budget for the cost to take on the UK in 1776? Tell me, what would have happened if the French decided that it was too expensive to give money, munitions and weapons to the upstart rebels? Or to not send the French Navy to deliver the cannons, gunpowder and other supplies that Washington needed? Or not use said ships to transport Washington's troops and cannons to where they could fight the redcoats in direct defiance of the British Navy

  3176. @Георги Паскалев  the staffing level is 2-3 pilots per plane. If the Ukrainian AF lost 56 planes and the crew did not survive, they would have 56-112 pilots available plus another 60. So 116 to 172 pilots enough to crew 58-86 F-16's or JAS-39's. That's more planes than the North Vietnamese had when they fought the US. And you can reduce conversion training to 2 months, 3 months if you want to give them advanced USAF fighter weapons school training after their conversion training.

At least not until the stealth plane is about 10-20 miles from the radar. The F-117 that was shot down was 10-13 miles from the radar when the guidance radar was finally able to track it long enough to guide a missile to it.

  3230.  @gerritvalkering1068  1 They have fighter jet mechanics today, more mechanics than they have jets to maintain. 2. The Ukrainians like most air forces have more pilots than aircraft. and when they lost planes at least 2 out of 8 survive. together this means they have combat experienced pilots who don't have aircraft to fly. 3. As these are experienced pilots, conversion training can be simplified and the extraneous modules can be bypassed. This means 6 weeks instead of months. add 5 weeks going through a Fighter Weapons School program (you know it as Top Gun type program, a post graduate school for pilots that will teach the most recent tactics, that will add to their current skills.) and in 3 months you will have a pilot with more over a year's worth of flight time in 3 months and they will be at the peak of their skill level when they return to Ukraine.

So they have a cadre and a lot of experienced pilots with no aircraft. So the bulk of the training will be on getting familiar with the switches and instruments. It's the ground crew that will take a while to stand up but even that has some solutions (AVG)

It's why Russian Su-25 and helicopter pilots fly so low, and it's the kind of flying and environment that the A-10 was designed for. Re Javelins, these are defensive weapons and are not very mobile, they can't move to stop an armored push 100 miles away in 20 minutes. A single A-10 can kill 4-6 armored vehicles in 10 minutes, leave and be back 40 minutes later and kill another 4-6 and do that again 6 more times before the pilot ends his day and turns over his bird to his crew chief to ready in 8 hours.

  3265.  @mirekslechta7161  Ask yourself, what is trailing those russian subs? It was not that long ago when american carrier ASW planes were flying over the Soviet ballistic submarine missile launch areas, mapping every single inch of the sea floor. Every single Russian sub gets recorded, cataloged before it gets to the Atlantic. The Pacific fleet has it easier but not by much as that entire area is under 24/7 surveillance by at least 4 countries, 3 of them share info with each other.
    2
  3266.  @mirekslechta7161  They are still made of metal and that is one way that subs are detected and tracked. It's what that long tail that ASW planes have is for. Every Russian sub from the northern fleet that puts out to sea has to pass through a long sea corridor that is heavily patrolled by ASW ships and aircraft from 4 Navies and a sensor net between Greenland, Iceland and the UK. Somewhere along that passage, any Russian sub can expect to be shadowed by 1-2 US or UK subs

Tell me do you intend to use those tanks, m-777's, M-113's and couple of million rounds of 155mm to help Americans? Are you going to give Americans an MRAP to use as a house?

  3315. RW Sports Debate Online Depends on where the money came from. If the money to reimburse Cohen came from Trump's personal funds, he needed to report that to the IRS, if he did not well that's a possible tax evasion charge. If it came from Campaign funds, well now, you're looking at campaign finance violation. If it came from a Trump charity (he's used his charities to pay personal and business liabilities before), again that's illegal. Btw, you just had Cohen's lawyer saying that his client was ordered to commit a crime by Donald J Trump. No I might be wrong, but that's conspiracy and it makes Trump just as guilty as Cohen. And since it was a crime that took place before January 2017, Donald Trump was not yet POTUS and per Jones v Clinton is not protected from legal action.

  3326.  @evalramman7502  The issue comes when Trump claims he can just do it without telling anyone. That violates the informing the originating agency part. This is because the document the president has is just a copy, that document exists at the originating agency and other places. So they have to be told that the document has been declassified so that it can be med available to the public. Also when the 11th Circuit court of appeals had this case, the gave trump the opportunity to prove that the documents had been declassified. Before that court, Trump made no claims that the documents were classified and provided no evidence or testimony. The Special Master that was going through the documents also said that the government had proven their case that the documents were classified and were the property of the federal government and that Trump had not provided any evidence or testimony that challenged the government's claims.

Why do you think Ukraine is still in this fight 3 months later and Afghanistan fell in a week? The Afghan leaders fled the country, heck they were out of the country before the US was could organizing flights out. Here he chose ammunition over his personal safety and passed out guns and ammo to anyone who wanted it and was willing to fight. So yeah, we'll back him and give him as much as he needs short of nukes. We might be refusing to give him warplanes now, but we will be training his pilots at some point and sending them back with warplanes, simple war math tells you that

Unfortunately what happened later was the US congress cut aid to South Vietnam, North Vietnam saw this and resumed the war and Saigon fell.

So it would look like a rain cloud moving at 450-600 knots. The filters in the radar's program would tend to filter it out because if it did not, then the radar would be full of static as the radar displays every bug, floating leaf, dirt, water vapor in the air.

Not all stayed, many left because they could not get used to being on the side with less gear, less support. (no air support while the Russians were dropping artillery on them), Others, the ones who were used to making do with what ever they had did really well. No one used their real names, they all adopted the policy of using their callsigns or nicknames. No ranks, no saluting the commanders. No marching around parade grounds.

  3402. At what point will Richardson get that the Military Chain of Command has already demonstrated that it can't be trusted? Even in his response, it shows that it just does not register. As for congress, it's 2024, why is moving the responsibility for investigating these crimes not out of the military chain of command not a law yet? I would put the same question to the Biden administration but I suspect that while the President can order it done, funding will require an act of congress.

  3403.  @mattm7426  Still selling that debunked garbage. Instagram is not a source for medical advice. In the study that was the source of this BS, the researchers examined 7,292 patients admitted to the hospital with new onset myocarditis. Of those, 530 cases were associated with the COVID-19 vaccine, 109 cases were associated with COVID-19 and 6,653 cases were associated with conventional myocarditis, as seen in the chart highlighted in the post. The idiots who keep bringing up this garbage forget that Anders Peter Hviid, who co-authored the study stated that these figures cannot be used to determine accurate rates of myocarditis related to the vaccines and the virus. “To compare risks, you need denominators of population at risk," Hviid said. "Our study does not compare these risks, and we do not provide the denominators." William Schaffner, a professor of medicine in the division of infectious diseases at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, agreed that the claim misinterprets the study.

Here's a hint for you, When the Russians launched the opening attacks back in Feb 2022, most of the Ukrainian jets and mobile SAM's survived. This was because they had been moved the day before. When the Russians tried to destroy the Ukrainian SU-24's, they failed because the Ukrainians were in the air and moving to a new base by the time the Russian missiles arrived.

Allied troops had cameramen on the beach at D-Day and cameramen captured tank and infantry battles from France to Berlin.

  3528.  @andreimihailov671  That has to do with the F-16 program manager and USAF politics. The brass wanted an all F-15 fighter fleet, congress looking at the budget said no. The Program manager, decided that in order to protect the F-16 from the USAF's political warfare, they needed the F-16 to be more than just a clear weather daylight dogfighter (armed only with AIM-9's and a Gun) and had them add bombs and other ordnance to the plane's weapon list and after talking with some friends who were in the process of developing a new missile, left the option for adding a new air to air missile. Eventually Congress and the USAF hammered out a deal, the USAF gets it's F-15 wings but they had to buy the A-10's and F-16's as well.

One of the things he did was to toss out the EU economic pact that the country and the parliament supported and replaced it with putting the country back into Russia's economic orbit. When protests took place, his troops started shooting and it went downhill from there eventually ending in the parliament kicking him out and him flying away in the dead of in a helicopter headed for Russia

The scope of the power of inquiry, in short, is as penetrating and far-reaching as the potential power to enact and appropriate under the Constitution.” Justice John Marchal Harlan (US Supreme Court Justice 1955-71) in 1959. “The power of the Congress to conduct investigations is inherent in the legislative process. That power is broad. It encompasses inquiries concerning the administration of existing laws as well as proposed or possibly needed statutes. It includes surveys of defects in our social, economic or political system for the purpose of enabling the Congress to remedy them. It comprehends probes into departments of the Federal Government to expose corruption, inefficiency or waste. US Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren.

By 2008 it shifted to a counterinsurgency. By 2013 the Afghans take over all military and security operation from NATO forces and by 2014 the US laid out a time table for pulling forces out of Afghanistan and by 2015 there was just 5,000 US troops in Afghanistan. The next 4 years saw Trump release 5,000 captured Taliban fighters and sign a peace treaty with the Taliban and the further reduction of US troops to 2,500.

France's answer to that is that while they don't have the largest army, the army that does invade france will get one warning, the destruction of the invading army's military installation or the vaporization of it's invading army via tactical nukes. Sweden's policy is similar but by using tech and it's aircraft and ships to assist it's baltic neighbors. Poland policy is to build the 2nd largest tank army in Europe and take the fight to the enemy.

As for other weapons, Per UN convention, Ukraine is free to request and receive military equipment and aid without restrictions in order to defend against invaders. Translation, if the US feels like it, it has been granted the authority to send the entire 2nd Armored Division along with it's supporting regiments and an expeditionary wing from the USAF (3-5 tactical fighter squadrons and their supporting personnel and equipment) along with the I Marine Expeditionary Force to assist Ukraine in it's defense along with 2,000 M1A1 and A2 tanks for the Ukrainian Army.

  3635. The Chinese have bases in the interior, true, but they don't have enough aircraft with the range to hit anything past 200 miles of their land border. That requires tankers, a lot of tankers. It also requires pilots who have enough flight time so they can train, and they don't. The average US Air Guard (Former USAF or Navy pilots who are now flying in the Air Guard on weekends) has more flight time than your average front line Chinese pilot. And all major US bases have an ABM system available on site.

  3661.  @shocks123  Only because we would probably be more. Think of the battle space there. Both sides have been able to deny the other the use of the airspace. S-400's and 2020 era AESA radars can detect B-2's out to 40 miles, which means they can be shot down, preventing them from operating within Russian controlled airspace, reducing them to using stand off cruise missiles which are less available than the usual gps guided bombs that they carry. This same problem will effect the F-22's, F-35's and all the 4th gen aircraft in use. With that problem, you are back to the land war with most NATO countries not even having enough ammunition for their own armies. not in the quantities needed for a sustained high intensity war.

Elon Musk rather famously sneered at the legacy assembly line at the former Toyota/GM factory and spent millions replacing them with robots and his own system. Turned out that he should have stayed with the Toyota/GM assembly line, they build cars that were more complicated than his Model 3 in less time and with more precision.

  3668.  @madmantheory5216  In order to launch missiles at say California, or Washington State, the Tu-95 literally has to fly over Kodiak Island Alaska (the earth is round), 500 miles from the F-22 base. Top speed of the TU-95 is 500+ knots or 1/2 the cruise speed of the F-22. The TU-95's will be greeted by AIM-120's about 1000-500nm before they reach their launch points and will die in the skies near the St Mathews Island Habitat with their missiles still attached to their aircraft.

  3669.  @james6401  Russia concentrated a lot of it's forces in Eastern Ukraine and that is how they had enough men to take much of the Donbass. But now, just as they need them to continue, Russia has been moving those same men, south, to cover the Kershon region and the eastern offensive has stalled.

  3675.  @RetreatHell  the FAB-500 with the glide kit when carried by an SU-35, flying at 10km at a speed of 15,000kph can go 40 miles. So that SU is in full burner for a very long time just to get to that speed and altitude. It can be seen by a ground based radar from 500 miles away Heavier bombs have shorter ranges, slower planes and lower altitudes lower the range.
    2
  3676.  @RetreatHell  The US equivalent is the USN/USMC/USAF AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon which with a high altitude release can reach 70 miles. It's cleared for the F-16, F-15E, F/A-18, F-35, B-1, B-2, B-52 and JAS-39.

  3677.  @RetreatHell  a GPS jammer would create a larger CEP. A better counter is to put a Patriot launcher 35-45km behind the target area. A Hawk would also work but the range is less and would put the SAM inside the target area

  3697.  @frankrenda2519  The Ukrainian Air Force still has 20-30 aircraft, it still flies sorties daily. Thing is a lot of the Ukrainian Air Force was grounded for lack of spare parts, so when an aircraft would need major maintenance, they would park it and use it for parts to get other planes back up in the air. When the pictures of the destroyed aircraft were shown, what you immediately notice is none of them were in shelters or revetments or separate parking areas that are needed if you have an airplane with an engine that runs. Instead you had groups of 6-12 aircraft parked wingtip to wingtip in one row, nose to nose with the next row. That's not how you park active aircraft.
    2
  3698.  @madyogi6164  The Ukrainians are not flying at high altitude. The altitude they can fly at is dictated by the distance to the S-300 radar. A plane at 10,000 can be detected at 250km from the radar, but at 100ft they will remain undetected until they are within 58km (30 miles) from the radar.

  3727. 3,000 to 4,000 hours? Tell me you know nothing without telling me you know nothing. 3,000 to 4,000 hours for a pilot is 20 years of service. This is going to be a conversion training under wartime conditions. The pilots they want are english speaking experienced MiG-29's, Su-27's and Su-25 pilots. This will shorten the training time to 4 months.
    2
  3728.  @evanroberts2771  That assumes you are training a pilot who's never flown an airplane. In this case you are starting with a pilot who in the past year has had over 150 flight hours in MiG-29s, SU-27 or Su-25. almost all of that flying below 300ft at 450-600 knots. So from the start you can drop the mid air refueling lessons, formation flying any lessons about stuff they will not be using. Focus on the switchology and things they need to do in the cockpit, use simpits to build muscle memory. Heck you can use a military grade sim or a commercial one like DCS or Falcon with VR goggles and gloves to get them used the switches and systems. You don't need full motion sims until after they are familiar with what they need to do. So yeah, they can get the time down to 4 months, RAF says 6-8 weeks

  3741.  yanksbiglywvil  the war in Afghanistan ended less than 3 months after the first bombs dropped, the rest of that was politics which every president committed to not nation building and getting out asap.

As for the factory, Remember that in WW2 every single factory was bombed to rubble? German Fighter production was higher at the end of the war than at the start. The factory you speak of can be dispersed to any number of buildings and garages, the "vulnerable" launchers are mobile and can be set up, launch and be gone before a missile can reach it.

  3771.  @John-hu9qg  They don't need to detect the subs, they are not a factor until they launch, even then they have a limited number of missiles, a fraction of what the Russian army has. As to the drones. That has been changing as the Ukrainians have lowered the speed filters on their SPAA's and Gephard have started coming online. The TEL can be built in a truck maintenance garage, the missile factory can be built into several buildings, even sheds in the woods. Night time in Svastopol is the same as daylight for satellites, even commercial ones. it only takes one drone attack boat to kill a sub.

There is a minimum radius that a launcher can be to the radar and a minimum distance that the launchers can be close to anything due to the rockets burning stuff.

  3814. @Peter Kim  the hornet costs roughly 50% more to fly than the F-16 and the Gripen costs less than the F-16. Ideally the US should use part of the US Aid to purchase Gripen E with US built GE-414 Enhanced engine. Failing that, F-16C block 70. This is a long term process with 12 aircraft delivered as soon as possible, and the remaining 228 to be delivered over 6-10 years with a 24-30 year maintenance and support package

  3815. @Bamboo Shoot The judge did not understand the concept of executive privilege. The FBI set up a team of agents who had nothing to do with the case to go through the recovered items and weed out the materials that were outside the scope of the warrant. That means private documents, legal documents between Trump private citizen and his personal lawyer, diaries (trump does not keep one) personal notes that don't pertain to the Presidency. Essentially everything the Special Master was to look through. Only thing is that the Judge wants to include all the documents including the executive documents, the government documents, the classified documents all of which don't belong to Trump but rather the US Govt and are outside the purview of judge because they are all covered by the PRA.

  3828.  @ibrahimseck8520  You're not supposed to charge the batteries to 100%. You're suppose to charge it only to 80% and discharge it to no less than 20-15%, so effectively you only have 86-94 miles of usable range.
    2
  3829. Regardless of how the F-35's RAM coating is applied, they will not be able to afford having the F-35 as an Aggressor. The Aggressors are low availability high demand aircraft. This means high operational tempos with the plane being in the air 2-3 times a day. The USAF expects to control it's F-35's operational costs by flying the F-35 as little as possible and moving as much of the flight and combat training to simulators.

If the Marine had not scooped it up, that umbrella was headed out the open door on it's way to the possibly get sucked into the engines

  3900.  @iforgiveyou274  I'll assume from your comment that you don't know how missiles work. That being said, what plasma field? see, thing is, the Kinzal missile may have been doing Mach 10 shortly after it left the plane, while it's engine was still burning and it's so high up that the air is so thin that the fins don't work and there is almost no drag. But funny thing, when it's coming back down, the missile's motor has no fuel left, so all it has is gravity accelerating the missile. And oh look, as the missile descends, the air gets thicker, slowing the missile down. Enough that by the time the Patriot's radar picks it up, it's not going mach 10 or even mach 5.

In California you can get a concealed carry in Kern County, but in Los Angeles County, you had to pay into the LA Sherrif's re-election fund or donate to the LA Sheriff charity just to be allowed to buy a gun and register it. So you have Kern County with more guns than LA County, and that's just 2 counties in California, both using the same laws but two totally different outcomes.

  3931.  @draxthemsklonst  Hint, NS Savannah cost a million dollars more to operate than an oil fueled ship of the same size, on top of that she had a fairly small cargo capacity and in the first year of operation dumped 115,000 U.S. gallons of low level nuclear waste into the ocean. The Japanese nuclear cargo ship Mutsu was completed in 1972 and promptly had a leak which resulted in the population around it's home port to kick her out of port and ban her from returning. She was modified and moved and sailed for 25 years and carried zero commercial cargo and cost the government over 1.2 billion dollars before the reactor was pulled, the ship decontaminated and reengined with conventional power and renamed and put back to sea. The German Otto Hahn was built but was refused entry to several ports. It has since been re-ginned with conventional power plants. The Russian Nuclear cargo ship Sevmorput never operated long enough to make back it's construction cost and has since been used primarily by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Meantime he was going to rallies saying that everything was under control, that soon there would be zero people in the US with the virus. All the while the CDC and US intel were telling him and anyone who would listen that the s was about to hit the fan. South Korea and the US got their 1st coronavirus case on the same day. One of these countries was testing 10k people a day the other tested less than 10k people in 4 months. Care to guess which was which?

  4009. The first few days of the war Russian planes flew through out most of Ukraine. The Russian Air Force hit almost every fixed military command, airfield, missile site, early warning radar. Only problem was the Ukrainians had moved as much of their mobile missiles as they could and every plane that could fly was sent to their dispersed airfields. That was why the Russians could not take out the Ukrainian air defense system. Even now, they've not been able to catch the UAF on the ground despite a year of satelite data, AWACS surveillance and a squadron of supposedly radar evading super fighters.

Back in the day, Buccaneer pilots would fly as low as 30ft when practicing attacking ships or low level penetration of enemy air space and some Tomcat drivers "accidentally" flew down to 50ft or lower while over water while flying at mach 1.1

  4054. The cost of shipping a shipping container from Shanghai to London went from around $700/container in December to $4,000 today. Oil is purchased on the spot market, that too goes up so even if we are purchasing domestic oil, that too is going to go up. That inflation that was at 4% heading to 2%, that's going to go back up to 8%.

  4056.  @TrevorToonArt  True it was slow, but it was long and sustained. Faster is not always better if you want sustainable growth, and the ideal GDP growth rate being 2-3%. Obama took office in 1/20/09 during an economic recession. (maybe you've heard of it, the worst one since the Great Depression), . The economic recovery started around June 2009 and continued for 128 months or 10 years til February 2020 (when Trump was president) when it entered a recession. Oh BTW, Trump GDP growth 2.3%,3%,2.2%, -3.7% for a net gdp Growth of 3.8% or 0.95%/year Obama -2.5%, 2.6%, 1.6%, 2.2%, 1.8%, 2.5%, 3.1%, 1.7% for a net of 15.25% or 1.9%/year. For comparison Carter 3.25% Reagan 3.48% Bush 2.25% Clinton 3.88% (data from Federal Reserve) From Hoover to Trump, Trump had the worst economic growth, second only to Hoover. But there is hope for Trump yet. The Recession that started during Trump's presidency will effect that of Bidens and depending on what happens then , Trump will go from 2nd worst to 3rd worst GDP growth.

  4059. During it's adventures in Iraq, an F-16CJ pilot found himself the target of a Patriot missile. Rather than bailing out, the F-16 pilot quickly located the Patriot's Radar, launched an AGM-88 at it then proceeded to dive for the deck to evade the incoming missile. The missile hit the Patriot's radar and the Patriot missile lost guidance and lost the F-16. When the F-16's show up in Ukraine, look pictures of Ukrainian F-16's with HARM targeting pods under the chin of the F-16. If you see them, know that these will be hunting SAM radars.

  4062.  @PIndyJones  In June, did he tell the FBI that he had returned all of the documents requested by the NARA, the ones the subpoena ordered, repeat ORDERED him to turn over? Answer Yes, he told them that all documents had been returned. Did the FBI find government documents during their August search? Answer Yes. Were some of those documents in his office, in his desk? Answer, Yes. Were some of those documents classified or TS/SIC? answer Yes. And there you have it. he broke the law and he did it intentionally. Specifically 18 U.S.C. § 793 of the US Espionage act 18 U.S.C. § 2071 - which prohibits, among other things, willfully and unlawfully concealing, removing, mutilating, obliterating, or destroying a “record,” “paper,” or “document” that is “filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States.” This carries a punishment of up to three years’ imprisonment. Separately, if a person “having the custody of any such record,” paper, or document takes one of the aforementioned actions with the requisite willful and unlawful intent, that is up to three years jail time and “shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.” That means he can't run for any federal office or be appointed to any federal office 18 U.S.C. § 1519 - Prosecutors have used this to charge an array of behaviors aimed at undermining investigations, including creating false reports, hiding objects, and shredding documents. That's just a surface reading after about 10 min of research. If I can find that, imagine what a career prosecutor can find.

Buy yeah, according to the old F-14A drivers, most just left the wings on auto sweep, and flew with the throttle at full military or in afterburner during a fight. They would move the throttle more in the B/D since that tolerated the repeated fuel flow changes more.

  4083. Smart bombs cost money, a lot more than a dumb bomb. and since the Kosovo War, 90% of the bombs we dropped were guided bombs, compared to the 15% that we used in Desert Storm. A 1,000lb bomb costs $3,100 a GBU guidance kit costs $25,000. So to take out 1 target, an F-16 would need 10 bombs for 2 bombs to hit total cost 31,000 and 5 F-16's. With a GBU it would take 1 plane, 2 bombs costing $56,200. So it costs 80% more in munitions but you risk 1/5 the pilots and aircraft.

After the invasion of Crimea, the Russian launching it's seperatist Army in Donbas and Luhansk, attacking and killing Ukrainian soldiers and police with rockets, mortars and machine guns. Only then did Ukraine start considering NATO membership. And only after Russia invaded in 2022 did NATO membership become a possibility with only Hungary and the fact that Crimea and 17% of Ukraine is occupied by Russian invaders being a potential hindrance. But thanks to Putin, the die is set, when this war ends, and it will, Ukraine will be a NATO member state and even before that, Ukraine will be an EU state.

Source Politifact. It was a Harvard study that said that guns were used defensively in 0.9% of violent crimes. The study however does not account for crimes that are not reported. According to the stats, only 41% of violent crimes are reported and the most reported crime, robbery, is only reported 64% of the time. This reflects my own experience. I've been robbed 4 times since 1998, I reported the first 2, not the later 2 because what's the point, the police had 2 chances and did nothing.

Now change the bombs for AGM-65 Maverick fire and forget anti armor missiles and have them fly at night, multiply by 12 (for a 24 plane squadron) = You are looking at a potential of 720-1440 Russian armor (tanks, apc's, IFV's,) being destroyed in a single night with (using known USAF loss rates during nightime A-10 war mission) losses of 0-0.5 aircraft lost. After this, the A-10's disperse to their road bases park under trees, and camo nets where, hidden from Russian satellites, their ground crews make them ready for the next night's work.

  4154.  @Winter5731  You fail to understand the limitations of all those systems. Let me repeat Your talking about SAM systems that have been successfully targeted and eliminated by artillery, rockets, mini bombs and grenades dropped by makeshift drones and cant shoot anything that flying at 100 ft 30 miles from their radar. The Russian Air Force does not fight at night, So all those MiG's and SU fighters, they are sitting on the ground waiting for the sun to come up. And when they do, only the SU-25's ever fly over Ukrainian controlled land. Russian soldiers as a whole do not have NVG's that means your MANPADS are useless cause you can't see to aim the missile. The A-10's should they be sent will spend their time feasting on the Russian armor and vehicles as they try to take territory. They'll leave the destruction of Russian assets that are behind the Russian lines to the rocket artillery. More of which have already been cleared to be delivered and the only question there is will they come with the 57km rockets or the 300km rockets.

  4160.  @TheConverter330  Those complications are known because the people who were prescribed the drug reported them. It's the idiots who are pushing the drug because "what can it hurt" or "what have you got to lose" who don't understand, don't know or just plain don't care.

  4161.  @againstviralmisinformation510  When the US says it's low on ammo, it means it's low on ammo in the stockpile intended for other people to use. It's munition factories are still ramping up, alternate sources (asia mostly) are being tapped. Meantime it's releasing a couple of million 155mm DPICM shells to tide Ukraine over until production reaches use rates. Meantime the US's stockpile intended for it's own use in Asia or Europe is untouched.

  4164.  @DarthVaderTheSithLord  Oh? the First Trump Press Secretary claimed that Trump's inauguration crowd was the largest in history, and also the most viewed. It wasn't on both counts. The last one was called a liar and opportunist by her fellow Trump co-workers

  4172. In the Summer of 2022 Russia controlled about 20-25% of Ukrainian territory, between June and November that number fell to 17% as Ukraine took Kershon and Kharkiv. In the last Russian offensive from December 2022 to May 2023, the Russians gained 800sq miles or about 0.01% of Ukraine

  4173. Is it hypocrisy on Rainer GroB's side or yours spiro? As to journalistic objectivity, oh yes, it's alive and well, just not at Fox. MSNBC does have it's partisan commentators, Note COMMENTATORS. You do know what the difference is between journalists and commentators are right? Hint by Fox's own admission 90% of Fox's programing and hosts fall under that category. Journalist?

  4180. No, Putin did in 2022, when Germany announce it was increasing it's budget. It takes time to figure out where things have to be spent on, what the priorities are, how much it will cost, what to program, come up with long term contracts and production. How do you budget to fund a war in Ukraine that requires 6-12 times what they need during peacetime?

  4186.  @michaelpettersson4919  Pilot training is essentially just a conversion course followed by tactical training (think US Navy Fighter Weapons School). With a wartime training schedule you can have the former Fulcrum and Flanker in new jets 3-4 months. It's the ground crew and logistics that will cause the most issues and will take longer.

  4187.  @billmccaslin3595  which explains why you are paying more for your car, radio, computer and cellphone, Thanks Trump.

They can be removed from the store anytime they violate store policies or state or federal laws. They can also be permanently banned from returning to that store or any of the companies facilities. Harassing the employees, other guests, causing a disturbance, are all grounds for removal from the store.

This interest is shared by Vietnam, Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan among others. Among the interested nations, the US has the capability of a toe to toe slugging match with China. So for all it's faults, the US still a good ally to have.

  4216. Or you don't want to hand over sensitive information to the target of your investigation or their allies. After all they've had multiple examples of Nunes running off to the White House to report to the White House. Still, I'm pretty sure if Congress forces the issue the DOJ and the FBI can hand them over the papers, after they've been redacted to much that the only thing you'll be able to read is the page number and title.

  4224. It's not a freaking game, the missile, it's warhead does not just disappear. It's still there moving at over Mach 1 headed for the ground. It's not going to hit the original target, but it will hit what ever is on the ground when it hits.

  4225. How do you secure the border when if you default, you will not have the funds to buy a single bag of concrete? You will be reducing the number of federal employees, including border guards and port inspectors.

  4227.  @abdiganiaden  Well, the US gave 0.32% of it's GDP (American with $27,960 in his pocket donated $89) The Estonian gave 3.55% of it's wealth (The Estonian had $38 in his pocket and gave $1.30) So while the total has the US giving the most, it's still only 18th place in terms of GDP totals or how committed is the country to supporting Ukraine. Estonia, Denmark, Norway, Lithuania, Latvia, Finland, Poland, Slovakia, Germany, UK, Czechia, Sweden, Croatia, Belfium, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Canada all provided more as a percentage of their GDP as the US did. Notice Sweden? They were not even part of NATO

  4251.  @glennlavalle9807  Read up on the Russian reasoning for taking the land. If it was because Russians live there, then the only one they can legitimately annex would be Crimea and about 1/3 of Luhansk and Donetsk, and Kherson and Zaporizhzhia are entirely Ukrainian with an 85% chance of voting to remain Ukrainian in a real referendum.

    2
  4257. Just to get this straight. The Ukrainians are not allowed to attack military aircraft that have been used to kill their civilians, at a military air base. Heavy bombers that are in the process of being prepared for another strike. So what other Vietnam era prohibitions would you like to place on the Ukrainians? Perhaps prohibiting the Ukrainians from attacking Russian rockets and SAM'S while they are at the rail yards waiting to be delivered to their units?
    2
  4258.  @cauwenberghsroeland8607  Marginal as in less than 0.1% of the territory is how much the Russians gained in 3 months after losing 7% to the Ukrainians during the Kherson and Kharkiv counter offensive.

In the case of the North Korean artillery, most of them seem to not have the required propellant charge. So when they fire them, they fall short and never reach their targets in Ukraine falling behind Russian lines instead.

  4284.  @international-x1u  Crimea was the only oblast in Ukraine where the majority would vote to be part of Russia. Mostly because it's the primary Russian Naval base, the native population from that area were forcibly removed to make it more Russian. But in Luhansk, Donetsk, while there was a large Russian population, it was majority for independence from Russia. fun fact, Zelensky won those two and got more votes from them than he did in western Ukraine.

  4288.  @bogeydope3022  You can make it a stand alone system much like how they incorporated the F-16's AN/AAQ-14 Targeting Pod to the F-14A\B and D RIO's Cockpit without running it into the F-14's systems. The only part where it connected to the F-14's legacy electronics was the monitor. With the HARM you would use the HARM's seeker as Sensor and you have an on/off switch, a monitor, and splice into the Thumbstick and weapon release circuit in the plane's joystick or put a box with a button and commercial thumbstick on the left side of the cockpit. It's ghetto engineering but not something unheard off during wartime.

  4307. The Ukrainian's current Gen 4 fighters are still around after a year of constant combat. They've lost 63 tactical jets (MiG-29, SU-24, -25, -27) out of 120 or so flyable aircraft. They've been able to put together 13 birds from the non-flyable aircraft and get them in the air, some more came from donors. So while flying every day, sometimes twice a day, they are losing 1 plane every week while facing manpads, SU-35's and S-300's, S-400's and Buk's.
    2
  4308.  @hyhhy  It has to do with how the Ukrainians have been flying since Feb 24 22. Low and fast, Max altitude below 8,000ft at the S-400's max engagement range, down to 100-300ft as they come within 100 miles of the forward battle area. Below the S-300/400/SA-5's radar horizon, low enough that the effective range of the MiG-31 and Flanker's missiles are reduced due to the denser air. Fast, just below mach 1 to reduce the reaction time of MANPADS operators.

That not only was he interested, he had been interested for decades and had been trying everything he could think of to get into the Russian market.

  4310.  @TheRealBillBob  So why is Russia having to buy ammo from NK, drones from Iran, tanks, SAM's from Belarus? Or is Ukraine the only one? BTW, the UN Charter states that a nation that is being attacked, has the right to request and receive military aid up to and including soldiers, pilots, aircraft, artillery and missile systems with no limit as to the amount. The UN Charter literally allows the US to send to Ukraine the equivalent of what the US sent to Saudi Arabia for Desert Storm. And Russia nor China would have no ability to stop it.

Just the GBU's have one or 2 intruders with a laser designator then have the A-7's and remaining A-6's deliver 2-4 GBU-16 against each ship. That's 20 A-7's with 2 GBU-16's each and 10 A-6's with 4 each. So at least 10-15 ships will be sunk in the first strike.

Your first flight in the F/A-18 will be as the passenger while you IP talks you through what he/she's doing. then you land, switch places and they give you instructions from the back while you fly. The 2 seat F/A-18's are the designated FAC-A birds since NAVY doctrine mandates that one person flies the plane while the Forward Air Control focus' on the mission of managing and directing the air support assets.

Now the youngest F-15, F-16 and A-10 are nearing 40 years old, the F-35 is decades from fully replacing them and only because the USAF has finally won permission to retire the A-10 and most F-16's and the surviving F-16's sent to do the A-10's missions and new F-35 pilots who are assigned to former A-10 Squadrons will not be trained to do CAS.

Older systems at first, with newer systems as they are gathered with spare parts and enough reloads for extended combat.

  4429. The Intel Community knew about Putin, Trump just ignored them and gave the Russian Ambassador classified intel during his first visit to the White House. The Inter community was already skeptical about Trump because of who he surrounded himself with and who his National Security Advisor was. After the incident with the Russian Ambassador, they started holding back sensitive intel from Trump because he would open his mouth and brag about what he knew while he was within earshot of people who were not cleared to hear that information.

  4433. The emphasis is getting as much there as quickly as possible. Ukraine had so many volunteering to fight that there were more volunteers than they could place. Many individuals simply picked up whatever weapon they could get their hands on and went off to fight the Russians on their own, falling in with whoever they happened to run into along the way.

  4435.  @abeautifuldayful  Ukraine started the war with about 200 SU-27's and MiG-29, Russia has at least 3 times that. The Ukrainians have lost almost all if not all of their early warning radars and their pilots are flying maybe 5 sorties a day and doing so almost blind. It's only their SAM systems and manpads that are still giving them some control of their airspace. At this time the Ukrainians have the bulk of their army in danger of being encircled and destroyed in detail. They are fighting as best as they can and they are managing to hold off the Russians but the longer this goes on, Russia's numerical superiority will allow them to win. We have already seen the Russians rotate fresh troops into the combat zone and send troops that took part in the initial invasion back to the rear where they can rest, rearm, receive replacements. We need to stop worrying about what Putin's reaction will be and focus on what has to be done to cut off the Russians from their supply lines and drive them out of the country.

At the time that was passed, the prohibition hit even local officials down to a county sheriff, congressmen, postmasters. No former Confederate was ever stupid enough to run for US President But according to Trump's legal argument, Jefferson Davies would be able to run for President in 1868 against Ulysses Grant

The Russians pulled a lot of units to stop the Ukrainians at Kherson, and the Ukrainians sent their maneuver units through the thinned out defenses to their rear and in a few days took back what there Russians spent months tanking. That's called maneuver warfare. The Russians are now having to fight over the same ground that they had fought over in Feb/March.

That means when they asked for 300 tanks, they actually needed 900 and the US gave them 31, and NATO/US sent 116. Frankly Poland sent more tanks than the US even though it had fewer tanks to give than the US and it's on the border of a nation that Russia used to invade Ukraine

  4477. Russia's artillery shell production is lower than their consumption, they are filling in the gap with imported ammo from NK. Russia just this month reached the tank delivery numbers that the Russians said they had 12 months ago, And of those "new" tanks, 20% were built in the 1960's. The same is happening with towed artillery, most of which is out of production We know this because covert cabal, used Hi Res Satelite photos did an extensive search of every known Russian storage facility and he found that most of them were getting emptied, and at the rate they were being emptied would be exhausted in about 2-3 years

That would have been fine except the F-35B was a couple of years behind schedule and the Corps was flying the wings off the Hornet over Iraq and Afghanistan and the training and work ups to get the squadrons ready for their deployment. It got so bad that the Blue Angels had to switch to the F/A-18E
    2
  4490.  @hb1338  Try six weeks, the pilots already know how to fly and navigate and fight. They need to learn the instruments and switches needed to fight the jet. Hire retired Swedish pilots through Draken or TACAIR (both are US defense contractors and can access the funds set aside for Ukrainian aid.) Use the US aid to purchase the JAS-39E's that were scheduled to go to Brazil. Especially for a contract of 24 initially with a total force of 120-140 and unlike the Brazillians, a full order of air to air missiles and jammer pods and a potential order of 3 SAAB AWACS. Yes, the US set aside that much money in aid. If they want to stretch out the funds, they can have Fokker or Boeing build sub assemblies at their facilities much like Goodyear built F4U Corsairs when Vought did not have the capacity to meet the demand.

Since the 2016 election cycle, they've been making political donations to organizations that support the Republican Party, attempted to insert people into Trump's orbit including his children.

Now on the left side of the paper, write A, 3 inches to the right of that write the letter B, then on the far right, write the letter C. The target is A, the MiG-31 with the Kinzhal is at C. Starting to get the picture? Come on you can figure this out, I did back when I was a kid playing Gato, Red Storm Rising, 688, Wolfpack and Silent Service and had to plot intercept courses to kill ships that were going 2x my speed.
    2
  4532.  @davekeating5867  The missile maneuvering is an issue, but since Kinzhal doesn't it's not an issue. Speed is a bit of a thing but since it's only powered for the 1st few seconds of it's flight, it's slowing down the entire time after the solid fuel rocket motor burns out. And slowing down is a must for the missile to find it's target. And don't forget, the warning time is the time it took for the launching aircraft to go from 1000 ft to launch position, or about 15-30 minutes depending on the launcher. More than enough time to get the Patriot battery warmed up and pointed in the right direction As for the range, it's within 15-20 miles of the target it's defending.

That A-50 was sent to factory for repairs, unknown if it's available. This loss, drops it to 8. The Russians now have a choice. Keep risking this happening again Or move the planes back, further from the Ukrainian line of contact, reducing the radar coverage.

With that rail and road conduit removed, supplies deliveries will be reduced by 75% and they will be forced to send supplies by ferry. The troops in Kherson will be forced to reduce their consumption of food, fuel and munitions as the train and road system that carries their supplies will have to be shared with those that are going to supply Crimea.

  4637.  @CherryBoyReloaded  I have my doubts that the Navy knows what it doing :/, at this point, what it's saying it's plans are does changes depending on who is asking the question. It says it wants to increase it's size but it's sheds ships faster than it's building them. It says it needs more fighters but it's shrinking the size of it's wings with no replacements for some roles.
    2
  4638.  @CherryBoyReloaded  we're not replacing them every decade, more like 30-40 years. And replacing aging platforms is fine if you replace it with something that provide equal capability. In terms of tankers, we have not met the capability we lost when the KA-3 was retired in the 80's and 90's.

Also recently released was that the Navy was changing the F-35 deployment from 2 10 plane squadrons per carrier with to 1 16 plane squadron and 3 F/A-18E/F squadrons with 10-8 planes each, . 30% of 16 is 4-5 planes available at any given time.

(4 Civilians per 1 Militant) * note, the OCHAOPT data is accepted by both Israel and Palestinians thus the (contested category) Pick your poison, 4-1 at a time that the IDF were selectively killing militants, or 1.5 - 1 during a time that the IDF is bombing residential areas, shooting at civilians (BBC cameraman was caught the incident)

  4652.  @honoresangwa1000  Yeah, Afghanistan fell within weeks, the Taliban fled to the hills and mountains where they were hunted. Eventually almost all the original leaders were dead or in jail, most of the Taliban were in Pakistan. Trump had to get one leader out of jail so he could have someone negotiate a peace treaty for him to sign. This was followed by a release from prison of 5,000 Taliban who promptly picked up rifles and started attacking the ANA. And in November 2020 Trump ordered all US troops out of Afghanistan by Jan 2021. The US military leadership said no, because withdrawing that many troops and their support structure within 2 months would be a chaotic nightmare.

Oh, and since the aid was passed by a veto proof majority in both House and Senate and was specifically programmed for said purpose, Trump had not authority to hold it up. Something that the folks at State and even the White House concluded before the phone call. A few days before Trump announce that he was ordering the aid to be unfrozen, the State Department's legal office finally ruled that neither Trump nor OMB had the legal authority to block the aid and they started releasing the aid without telling the White House, OMB or Trump.

  4716.  @mrderp1292  If the USAF had started training the Ukrainian MiG-29 and SU-27 pilots (the Ukrainians have 2-3 pilots per active tactical aircraft) back in September they would have 60-70 100hr F-16 pilots by March 2023. If the US had started training the Ukrainian aircraft mechanics back in April 2022, they would be ready to provide most of the maintenance for the F-16 by march 2023, and the more complicated maintenance and repairs could be done in Poland. That being said, the ideal aircraft would be SAAB Gripen, start with C/D Gripens. then arrange for Boeing to license build 240 Gripen E/F/G at their Hornet assembly line. This benefits Ukraine, SAAB, Boeing, the US and Swedish government and tax payers. The Ukraine gets modern fighters, SAAB and Boeing get a long term contract, the US and Swedish govt and tax payers maximize the use of the aid dollars. There is no Gripen E, that's my idea of Gripen D optimized as a dedicated ECM platform ala EA-18G Growler

  4718.  @joshriver75  Police officers are not soldiers on patrol in Helmand Province. Unless you are going to a shootout, you're not going to answer a call with your rifle, nor are you going to be using that rifle while driving your cruiser. When you are on a call without your rifle, how easy is it for someone else to get from your cruiser while you are on a service your call. You need to balance between your ease of access and ease that someone else can get at your rifle. The easier it is for you, the easier for someone to steal it from your unattended vehicle.

What the videos don't tell you is that the Ukrainians lose more drones than they have had successful drones. That most drone crews spend most of their time building new drones to replace the ones they lost that day. And that they've had drone crews killed while operating the drone or retrieving the drone because the other side triangulated the controller or the drone's radio signal and decided to send a dozen mortar rounds at the x mark

When she joined Din's sect, she kept her helmet on until ordered to remove it by the religious leader of that sect, the Armorer. And that was because the Armorer wanted her to gather the scattered Mandalorians.

Ex If one police officer engages in misconduct, uses excessive force and his partner does not try to stop him/her or fails to report him/her then both should be fired and not allowed to resign. If the supervisor did find out about and does nothing then that supervisor should also be fired. If the department has more than 5 cases like this, the Police Chief should be charged with dereliction of duty and be terminated. In all cases, all pensions and benefits will be terminated.

  4794. That's the point isn't it? The poem was written by Emma Lazarus, an American, a Jew, a woman, born in New York, whose family came from Germany and Portugal and lived in New York before there was even a United States of America. She was there when the statue was being built, she wrote that sonnet to help raise money to build the base of the statue of liberty. So you could say that her poem is the foundation of the Statue of Liberty.

  4795. I'm sorry where do you get the idea that in 1934 there was no drug smuggling, human trafficking or terrorism in the USA? As to the exponential population growth rate. It's 0.7% bud, that's less than half of what it was in 1980 and 1970, it's the slowest growth rate since 1937. With a growth rate like that, we actually need immigration, heck we probably actually need the illegal immigrants just to stay afloat.

You folks look at what he says about Trump and you go oh my god what a criminal. Yet that same person, in the same emails and texts goes after Hillary Clinton and Sanders with near equal ridicule but I don't see you folks complaining about that.

  4806.  @TristantFrigate7098  The Russians have been using Cluster Munitions since the invasion started. As for the Russians using more, go for it. Using more Cluster Munitions means they have to use more delivery systems, this increases their burn rate and their loss rates. The more their artillery fires, the faster they break and fail, and they'll need to replace them, something they've been having problems with, so much so that they are using old T-55 tanks as artillery

  4834.  @josedantesbaez5  The deal Trump's administration negotiated was that the US would patrol the syrian kurdish / Turkish border with US troops, in return the Kurds would pull back and destroy/tear down the fortifications that they had erected in response to previous attacks by the Turks. The Kurds agreed to this and tore down their forts and moved troops away from the border. That was August 2019. In early October the Turks called Donald and told him they were going to invade and Donald Trump ordered US Troops to abandon their positions and their allies.

In the North , they stay north of the Ukrainian border, safe inside Belarus and Russia , in the east they stay east of the battle lines, staying near the Russian border or over the sea of Azov.

  4860.  @Writeous0ne  Boeing/SAAB have an answer for that. It's called a Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb. It's a 250lb bomb mated to Glide unit and propelled by an old 227mm rocket motor. Guidance is via GPS, INS, Laser seeker or a radar homing. It has a range of about 150km. This can be used to destroy Russian SAM radars, Radar Jammers, supply depots and command posts. In the Anti-Radar mode, it can destroy any SAM radar within 75miles of the front line. With a bit of math, that means that Ukrainian fighters will be able to operate over the battle lines safe from the Russian S-300 and 400 SAMs

  4863. @Writeous0ne  the Russians haven't been able to shoot down the agm-88's that were used to force the SAM radars and launchers away from the front lines, I doubt they'll do much better against these.

  4864. @Sin3xtreme  look up the RUSI report on the performance of the Russian Air Force. Look up the oryx database.

  4865. @tbirdpunk  think very carefully. What missiles does the F-15 carry and what missiles does the F-16 carry. Now add to the fact that the Viper can do both air to air and air to ground for 5/9 of the operating cost of an F-15. An F-15C costs about 41,920 in 2018 USD An F-16C costs about 22,514 in 2020 USD (The F-16A/B that the Ukrainians are receiving are upgraded to F-16C block 50 standards and the Ukrainians are requesting further F-16's be modified to the AESA radar which available for all F-16A MLU and F-16C Block 50+) So the Ukr AF can operate 7 F-16's for every 4 F-15's

  4868. The "destruction" was premature. Like much of Russian reporting they see a puff of smoke and they scream that they've "destroyed" something when in reality they just damaged part of a redundant system. Patriot is has 8 independent launchers, destroy 1 and the others remain in operation. That's because the designers expected that there would be attempts to destroy it, they separated the radar, generator, communications, control and launchers from each other. The pentagon inspectors have already checked the damage and told to Ukrainians to walk it off and get back into the fight.

  4869. Ukraine will not have training grounds or depot level maintenance because those can be wiped out as soon as they are set up. Depot level maintenance will need to be done in safe areas like Poland, Germany much like how North Korean MiG-15's would be based out of China during the Korean War

That Russia has the right to force Ukraine to surrender territory to Russia.
    2
  4887. The real question is, can they support them? Right now, it is questionable if the Russian logistics can support 150,000 man force. During the first month of the war, their front line units only got 1/2 the supplies they needed, thus you had vehicles with no gas. In Kherson, the loss of the bridges doomed ended any hope of holding the area never mind advancing further west. So assuming the 300k boosts the total numbers up to 450k maybe the Russians will have a combat force of about 150k. If the Russians don't use the bulk of those new conscripts to bring their logistics up to where it needs to be, by this time next year, we'll be talking about the Russian withdrawal from Crimea by way of the Kerch Strait Bridge

  4900. MiG-29's require even more maintenance per flight hour than the F-16, and need new engines more often than F-16's. Most of the Ukrainian MiG-29's were grounded due to lack of spare parts. The one's that were flying on 02/24/2022 were still flying because they were using the grounded MiG's for spare parts. Well there are few sources for replacement MiG's, spare parts or air to air missiles for them. That's why the west should have started the transition to F-16's or JAS-39 back in June 2022. That way the Ukrainians would have new planes by June/August 2023.
    2
  4901.  @atg2186  Ideally they would be getting JAS-39E's but the Swedes don't have enough of them. So F-16 is the most likely candidate due to airframe availability. And since those F-16's are going to be sent to the scrap yard, better to send them to someone who can use them.

There are USAF and USN pilots who've flown both MiG and SU as well as F-16 and F/A-18's. While they are impressed by the MiG and SU flight performance, the were agast at how bad the MiG's radar was and the piss poor cockpit layout and ergonomic and how cumbersome and complicated it was to actually have to fight in the plane, some have even stated that the F-14 with it's 60's era design was easier to use

One notable incident was a mobile radar guided missile hiding from SEAD aircraft by ducking behind buildings and under highway overpasses. it used that tactic to escape multiple missiles shots and bombs. It was eventually destroyed when it came out to shoot at an F/A-18 that had attacked it a second F/A-18 which had rolled in behind the 1st one, dropped a bomb on top of it. Another mobile AAA gun that had hidden under an overpass was knocked out by an F-16 who and dropped down to the deck, 40 ft above the highway in order strafe the gun with it's 20mm cannon.

  4935.  @dzonikg  the anti-tank missile can be dealt with, either with counter measures or better integration trained infantry. Aircraft well, most competent air forces learned how to defeat them and are familiar with their limits.

  4956.  @briant5685  The vehicle is a Mine Resistant patrol car, it replaced the HMMWV in the US military. It's not a tank or even an APC, it's a scout car with a V-shaped bottom. That V shaped hull is there for one purpose and one purpose only. It's to redirect the energy from a mine explosion away from the passenger compartment and keep the passenger alive.

  4959. Just last week NATO restated their continued support for Ukraine and are continuing to ramp up production to replace munitions that have already been used by Ukraine, to replenish their own munition stocks as well as to meet the needs of the Ukrainians. In the US, the idea of waiting for new M1A2's with downgraded armor has been shelved and they are sending M1A1's from existing refurbished stocks instead.

  4971. @pza9996  does not matter, Russia has satellites that can see them. The problem is the delay between finding the base, tasking then planning the strike, and then launching the strike. This takes the Russians about 2 - 4 days. On top of that, the Ukrainians get an incoming raid warning as soon as the Russian bombers or MiG-31's leave the ground and the UAF planes are in the air headed to a new location long before the first missile is in the air.

That was investigated by a Republican run committee in both House and Senate and it has all of the legitimacy as Donadl "Birther" Trump's claims about Obama being born in Kenya. Seriously most of those claims could be dismissed with a calculator, a ruler, pen and paper, google and an internet connection Ok lets take Hypocrisy. The Clinton Foundation and it's being used by the Clinton's to enrich themselves. Donald "Hypocrite" Trump, Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Don Trump Jr, just got told by a New York judge that they should take a plea deal in the case about them using the Trump Foundation as their personal piggy bank. Everything from buying artwork (including a painting of Donald Trump) for themselves for for their companies, using the foundations funds to pay fines levied against Mar A Lago. The judge in the case has advised them that if they don't work out a plea where all of them "Donald, Eric, Ivanka and Donald Jr" pay back the money they took and not be part of any charitable foundation for at least a year, the judge would rule against them en enforce those same penalties on them and then some. Also yes, the judge ruled that the case is going forward and she has informed Trump's lawyers that SHE will insist that Donald Trump testify in person in the trial. Donald "Hypocrite" Trump “Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf" So far Donald Trump has averaged 79 gofl games per 54weeks compared to Obama averaged 38 games per 54 weeks during his presidency. “Why is @BarackObama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority?” Wailed Donald Trump in 2012.. Barrack Obama signed 45 executive order in the 8 years he was president. Donald "the Hypocrite" Trump has signed 48 in less than 2 years. Oh and Saudi Arabia Oh please, Trump registered 8 different companies in Saudi Arabia just in 2016, he's got ties to the Saudi Royal family that go back decades and for years Trump World has been trying to build a golf resort in Saudi Arabia. And the list as they say goes on.

  4993. You've got no idea about how the Saudi Royal family does business do you? The line of sleaze and corruption, backroom deals, favors both personal and political. I can't give you money, but I can give your friend the contract to build something and he can skim money from the contract and give you the money. And you think ONLY MSNBC debunked the Clinton scandals you are living in a cave. CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC TIME, NEWSWEEK, REUTERS, San Jose Mercury News, PBS, NPR, PRI, Jesus H Christ on a pogostick. Only the the die hard Clinton Haters and the Trump birthers still cling to that.

  4997. The Ukrainians have a time table dictated by the weather. They have just the summer and early fall to push the lines. During this time they need to destroy as much of the Russian supplies. equipment, and logistical support structures in order to reduce their ability to go on the offensive. The Ukrainians told the US and it's allies what they needed, they told them they needed planes, tanks, IFV's, Artillery, Mobile SAM's both high and low level. Knowing this, the US chose to give them no jets, and 1/4 of the equipment they needed. That means the Ukrainians are attacking at 1/3 the number they needed and no air cover If the US wants to reduce the Ukrainian losses, they need to have the 120 F-16's with trained pilots and ground crews with a logistics infrastructure and 300 M1 tanks by mid July early August. If they can't then the US should stop whining about the Ukrainians losses and the severe loss of US made equipment.

  5013.  @nuke_Godjira  Data is data, That Ukrainian counter offensive led to a gain of 0.8% of internationally recognized Ukrainian territory from Russia. Since then the Russians have gained 0.025%.

They will wait a few months then slice off another piece of Ukraine, then rise and repeat.

For the USAF this ment abandoning the century series fighters (F-100, 101, 102, 104, 105, 106 and f-111ds) and starting with the F-4 Phantom. The Teen fighters are the 4th gen fighters, with the F-14, F-15, F-16, YF-17, F/A-18

  5089.  @joeswanson5486  So by your own count, after 12 months Ukraine will have taken just 300sq km less than what Russia took in the same 12 month timespan. Only they did it against the largest minefields in history, and against months worth of heavily reinforced defensive positions, while outnumbered 10 to 1 in aircraft, 20-30 to one in artillery.

Just prior to this 95% of the Ukrainians voted to leave the USSR and not to join Russia, so unless you are saying that the Donbas and Crimea make up less than 5% of the population, they voted not to be part of Russia either. The vote that came later came after what was in effect an ethnic cleansing of the area, remove as much of those who oppose you then have your supporters vote. viola area votes to be part of russia.

So for the immediate future, they need to focus on air space denial using both ground and air borne assets. To that end Raytheon is building 5 Patriot batteries for the Ukrainians.

  5175.  @khanh604  The US does not have a "hypersonic" weapon because it found it pointless. For it to work you have to air lunch it at above mach 1 so that the ram jet has enough air, then the ram jet (good up to Mach 3) has to push to Mach 5 in order for the scram jet to function, then a rocket has to get it up higher to avoid having the missile melt. then Re-entry and deceleration from hypesonic to sub sonic so the sensors can work at which point you hope the ram-jet can ignite otherwise you've got an unpowered dart. In all of the descriptions of the Russian weapon they mention the sound before the explosion. Problem, how does sound reach the ground 1st when the missile is going 5+ times the speed of sound?
    2
  5176.  @khanh604  We know how they've used it, all 3 times. When folks talk about Hypersonic missiles, they refer to the Hypersonic Glide Vehicles and Hypersonic Cruise Missiles.

The Ukrainian govt and it's allies lose about 4,400kia and the DPR/LPR lost 4,641 and the Russians lost about 400-500 3,404 killed by both sides is not "ethnic cleansing" Oh that data comes from the UN reports.

If you want to announce the winner within 2 days, what you do is count as many as you can until the remaining uncounted votes are less than the vote margin. At this point even if every single vote were for the losing candidate there are not enough to change the results. You declare the projected winner but you continue to count the outstanding ballots until all are counted and add to the vote totals.

The F-16 today has less than 50% the radar cross section of the one built in the 80's, and there are modifications that take about 2 days to install that can reduce that by half and drop it's IR signature to stealth aircraft levels. So instead of being able to spot it at 100miles, you are down to 20-30 on radar and on IR it will only show up if you are behind it.

  5202. @Raging Radishes Russian Air Defenses are on the Russian side of the battle lines, about 14-30 km back from the lines. That limits the range at which they can attack aircraft. Drones have taken the place of light observation aircraft. The drones can operate close enough to the battlefield to provide real time targeting information and reconnaissance. It means that when a artillery unit fires a single spotting round, they can have it corrected and on target before the 2nd and 3rd shot arrives, followed by the full salvo from the entire battery.

  5213.  @delirious3911  Re DCS, yeah i have it. as far as the Hypersonics, they are overperforming as they are pulling more g than the missile is capable off. rates that the bend the missiles wing structure and can't aerodynamically support. Even then, unless it's launched from fairly close (not 160km, more like 80km), defeating the missile involved mostly changing direction and altitude.. As for the F-16, depending on what was done to it before they were donated, the useful launch range against it by a MiG-31 may be down to 40-50 km. There is a modification to reduce it to 20-25km and will take about a day to install

  5214.  @khiemone  Back during the recent insurgency in the P.I, Ph Army troops and armor who were engaged in a fire fight with the rebels, just yards away (in the same frame of the video, were street vendors and their customers just going about their business as bullets and cannon fire were exchanged.

  5218. I think that was the point of hitting an ISIS camp that was near a US base. The Iranians knew where the US base was and they wanted the US troops to see the missiles land. It's a message to the Saudi's as well. That yes, the Iranians have Med Range Ballistic missiles and they are accurate enough, reliable enough to hit what they are aimed at. The Saudi's, their ABM defenses consist of Patriot missile batteries that may or may not work, (it depends on who is operating and maintaining them). It may be worth noting that the US THAD and Patriot sites in the area did not launch to intercept them as they flew over Iraq.

  5219. No army? Kyiv, the Russians sent the VDV to take the capital, they used them to forge ahead of their armor, their supplies and on the 1st day of the war, they had captured airfields on the outskirts of the capital. They did not count on the locals to mobilize their armor before their own had made it's way to support them. The stalled offensive then set the stage for the eventual collapse of the northern front and the retreat back to Russian territory.

  5220.  @redwind5150  You do know that the federal government has the largest transportation fleet in the country right? And that they've been purchasing masks and ventilators and other equipment. A lot of the time states are finding that the equipment and supplies that they had contracted and paid for were being highjacked by the feds.

  5221. Why? before the 1st NATO tank was sent to Ukraine, the Ukrainians had already destroyed 13% of Russia's active T-90 force and based on the confirmed losses, Russia has lost 50% of it's active tank force. And while the Ukrainians have lost 59% of their tanks, the donations from Russia has brought Ukraine's tank force up by 20% of it's prewar numbers and with NATO donations Ukraine is now at over 80% of it's pre-war tank force

Unknown how many of the M1s that were salvaged by the Russians can be made combat capable, maybe 2-3? The Ukrainians have taken to bolting on ERA boxes to the M1's and they may be looking to bolting on jammers

That neat, single type farm would later create one of the worst ecological and economic disasters on the continent

  5240.  @dimajo3057  The plains tribes were a mostly hunter gatherer group, this needs large amounts of land for the game to roam and feed. To a European, that's "empty", it's not. The farms that most natives tended, used mixed planting methods and were not nice uniform plots, to a European, that's an abandoned or overgrown farm. It's not. Yes there were a number of villages that were empty, research found the reason it was empty was a european disease had wiped out the village and the survivors fled to other villages and the cycle of death repeated itself.

  5263.  @MsGodsown1  4. As for cheating here ya go... Wisconsin dumps in the wee hours of Nov 4th of 140,000 all for Biden on ticket and no other runners on the ticket" That claim is actually from a twitter and facebook post and has no basis in fact and has been debunked by Wisconsin election officials. The votes were recorded at 8pm but were not posted until 3am. The "all for Biden" was another lie added to that lie. There were about 31,000 votes for Trump included in the update. Saying that Biden cheated, does not make it true, and using "facts" that have already been disproven does not help your cause but rather makes you look more deluded.

Now, lets talk about how many more people you need just to support, repair, rearm and refuel those helicopters that will have to be based at the Kabul airport.

That means these 4-6 months or work, 6 months of pilot training in order to fly 14 planes for 6 months in combat.

  5292. A reaper costs 14 million new and costs about 4-5k per hour to fly. Plus you need the hellfire missiles and laser guided bombs. Because tha drone can be in the air for 40hrs at a time each flight can cost 196k per sortie in man hours and parts as much as 21 million US a year. General Atomics is offering a heck of a deal at 8 million in yearly maintenance

  5293.  @shermoore1693  Mind you, the Reaper is not invisible to radar, they are going to have to be really cagey, coordinate it's use with ECM operators and the HARM birds, and maybe they can get hard kills on the S-400 radars and command posts.

  5310. The US tankers can be protected from SAM's by having EA-18's or EC-130's positioned between SAM's and the areas where the tankers will be operating. These planes can degrade the SAM's guidance radars enough that the missile's effective range would no more than 50 miles from the guiding radar. And intercepting them using aircraft would a task limited to China's few long range interceptors which would have to fight their way past the US BARCAP and the ECM aircraft's jamming just to get a radar lock on the tankers.

  5357. Trump claims that Biden has the largest Deficit in US history. Fact check, False Treasury Department data shows the gross federal debt during the Trump Administration rose by about $7.8 trillion on Trump’s watch. So far, debt under Biden’s watch has risen by a little less than $6.7 Trump claims that he had the strongest economy in US history, False, If the 2020 pandemic is excluded, growth after inflation under Trump averaged 2.49%, GDP growth under President Bill Clinton of 4% During Kennedy and LBJ's administration, 1962 to 1966 growth ranged from 4.4% to 6.6%. Under Mr. Biden, annual GDP growth is averaging 3.4%, So no Trump's economy was not the greatest Trump claims that unemployment was the best during his presidency That too is a lie In 1953 the unemployment rate was 2.5% Under Biden it's 4% and in January 2023 and again in April 2023 the unemployment was 3.4% Under Trump it was 3.5% and rose to 6.3% at the end.

  5363.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  No one is saying that the Russians are not building new tanks. What is being observed via statements from the manufacturer to shareholders as well as what's showing up on the battle field. New T90 production is running lower than losses. You can pretend that it's not happening but some storage facilities that in 2022 were full of soviet era tanks (pre-1991) are half empty and much of what's left have visibly empty engine bays and missing turrets seemingly indicating that they've been used for spare parts. Dude, commercial satellites are picking this up. Some folks like Cover Cabal have purchased satellite photos of every Russian armor storage facility and counted every single tank in the facility and compared them from photos of the same facilities in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Based on the rate that the these facilities were being emptied, they estimate 2-3 years before they are emptied of usable tanks. When that happens only 1 in 4 destroyed tanks will be replaced by another tank.

They are facing over 70 SU-30's with 3 times that many available in reserve. They are going to need more planes than there are MiG's available to be sent to them.

Meanwhile SPY-6-V3's will be installed on the Ford-class carriers and Constellation-class frigates as they are built.

Re David Sanger claims "Fighter jets can reach Moscow" wrong, the F-16 has a combat radius of under 300 miles with 3 fuel tanks. to attack Moscow would be a one way trip as the jet would have to fly on the deck, (which shortens the range) and the the plane would not have enough fuel to return. 2 there are no easy replacements available, For tanks and IFV's there are 4 battalions worth of M1A2 tanks that are in Europe that can be provided to Ukraine with an ETA of 1-2 week. We can then replace those with stocks M1A1's upgraded to M1A2 from storage and new build M1A2's from the factory.

I read somewhere that Germany uses a different method that takes into account all unemployed including those who are unemployed for over a month and counts them as part of the total unemployed.

  5469.  @johnbob95  there are places in California where you can still buy an affordable house but none of them are in places where people live and work. You'll find that much of the buying in the past year or two has been investment buyers, folks and companies that buy dozens of properties, many will remain empty and unused.

  5532. Catastrophic? the Ukranians just took back 1/3 of the west bank in Khershon. All the bridges needed to provide heavy vehicles are gone, they are depending on low volume traffic pontoon bridges and even lower volume ferries. They pulled back their artillery to the east bank of the Dnipro River to ease the supply burden which means in event of a Russian advance, their artillery can't support them. As the fall rains turn the soil to mud, supplies become harder to move, then winter and then the thaw. Between the Ukrainians and the Russians, the Ukrainians will be getting their supplies, their longer ranged rockets will continue to take their toll on the already strained russian supply lines.

  5533. They are fast, the radar does not give a launch warning (no radar lock before launch). The radar tracks the plane and sends course corrections to the missile. At some point the radar tells the missile to go active, and the missile radar goes live, locks up the target (that's the radar lock that the target hears) and the missile goes into it's terminal phase.

No, these are moved using Semi's or by train. Loading them takes time, moving them takes time, then offloading them. The US can see all this and track them from point a to point b and anywhere in between. This is something they've been doing since the 60's.

You have new pilots getting parked in non-flying jobs because there are no open slots in the squadrons that have the plane they are trained to fly.

  5604.  @jen4um  you breath CO2 all day without the mask, the mixture is the same unless you are holding your breath until you can't hold it in anymore. The homeless folk are better off outside because the space and constant movement of air disperses the virus. In this case having the homeless gathered up in crowded homeless shelters would have been a recipe for disaster.

  5605.  @coder4liberty  less damage, greater chance of 2-3 hits. A grenade landing in a trench 2-9ft from you will kill you just as well as a single 155mm shell and a bend in the trench will protect against the 155mm just as well as it does against a bomblet, execept that another bomblet may have landed past that bend and well, it's now next to the soldier that was just past the bend

  5648.  @ronreynolds1610  it's not, it's part of the push to Kyiv. They are 15 miles from the capital and are pushing to encircle it. The Russian artillery have a range of 17 miles so it's a matter of time before they start massive shelling of the city.

It has an aircraft carrier and it's air wing based in Japan, just last month as Moscow was invading Ukraine, China had 4 aircraft carriers including the UK's only aircraft carrier at it's doorstep and with those carriers, the all of combat coded F-35 squadrons from the US Navy, Marines and Royal Navy.
    2
  5671. I suspect that Putin will be using any halt to the fighting due to this dialogue to resupply his troops and bring the rest of his gathered army up. That 40 mile convoy isn't bringing cakes and flowers, it's ammunition, fuel, oil, APC's, BMP's, tanks and more soldiers.

  5672.  @solag1319  Note that all those vaccinated people in the ICU, stayed for less than a week, those not vaccinated, stayed longer (cost more money, more resources) and were 12 times more likely to die. We've been at this a year now, there's no fixing stupid.

  5675.  @RandomOldPerson  The official response time is 5-10 minutes. Yeah I was lucky??, I know one of the local radio hosts here had her house broken into while she was at her drivetime radio program and she called the police after she came home and found the intruder's feces in her closet. The cops showed up 12 hours later
    2
  5676.  @CWLemoine  Seen them up close near the stadium where the second unit were filming. According to the driver, LAPD strips out all of the radio's before they auction them off. The show then buys the vehicles them and refits them. These "Hero" vehicles were more built up but still only had one mic. and the "police equipment" are either non working props or civilian stuff made to look like LAPD gear. The other cruisers used for stunts and external middle distance shots are just the civilian SUV painted black and white with plastic props bolted on for the visuals
    2
  5677.  @ldo1308  I don't see where sovereignity and military assistance are incompatible The US sent military assistance including US sailors and US Navy destroyers to escort the ammo, food, equipment and other war materiel from the US to England in doing so they engaged (fought) Germans U-boats who were trying to sink the cargo ships. That's no different here. Sending of Surface to Air Missiles, Fighter planes, Main Battler Tanks is no different from the military aid sent by Russia (then the USSR) to North Vietnam. Or we could copy Russia's (then USSR)'s example and send US pilots to Poland in US aircraft, painted in Ukrainian colors, to patrol the skies of northern Ukraine attacking and destroying Russian aircraft, missiles and drones in the skies over Ukraine.

  5678.  @moisiewe  Me thinks that was the Russian KIA number not the Ukrainian the second "leak" some vatnik photo shopped (badly, the font was different and not even properly aligned) the numbers in the summary but forgot to do the same in the other pages.

Compared to the US air strikes in Iraq during Desert Storm, when 90% of the bombs being dropped were "dumb bombs" the Israelis are killing more civilians per day and that's with a smaller population.

  5725. You're always flying against the pilot more than the airplane. The landscape of Korea and Vietnam are littered with the bones of pilots in superior airplanes who were shot down by other pilots in inferior aircraft. There are MiG-21's shot down by bomb laden guns only F-105's, MiG-15's shot down by an AD-1 Skyraider, or F4U Corsair, F-4 Phantoms shot down by MiG-17's. Heck there is even a HUD vid of an A-10 with a perfect guns track on an F-16 desperately trying to get out of the A-10's gun piper. There are living F-14A drivers (yes the plane with the flameout prone engines) who were known to take on F-15C's at 40,000ft where the Eagle rules and kick the ego driver's ass and out turn the F-16C's. As for the F-14, it was limited by the Navy to 6.5g but was routinely flown to 7.5 and 9g without any damage done to the airframe. The max G ever officially recorded on an F-14 was about 13g, and the pilot flew that bird back to base. It's also faster than the Su-57 at any altitude. An F-14 with 2 bombs and a targeting Pod can reach a ground speed of 1,000knots while flying at 50,000ft.

And if you can't find it, how do you shoot it? Oh and you better find it because it sure as hell knows where you are launching from and in the next 10 or so years, the number of carriers with stealth aircraft increases as more F-35 squadrons come online and the carrier that will embark them is modified to operate them.
    2
  5728.  @marcusfiero3724  The location is an approximate location and is about a week old. I know this because I saw the carrier's aircraft arrive at their home base in central California while the site was still saying that it was out at in the Pacific between Guam and Hawaii.

  5736.  @reginalddoucet877  Btw, Kalibr production rate was 100-120 a year (as early as 2017 we knew that they were building 10/month), Zircon only started production in Nov 2021. Russia has 43 Kinzhal, 16 of them were built after March 2022. So about those thousands of missiles?

Rule of thumb, the US is not sending pallets of cash, it's mostly admin transfers, and accounting entries as the munitions and equipment that were scheduled to be de-commisioned are sent to Ukraine instead, saving the US the expense of demobilizing them. The NATO F-16's for example are being retired, they would have had to spend time money to prepare these for long term storage then every year spend more to ensure they remain in usable condition. Similarly the USAF is asking to retire over 120 F-16's ahead of schedule in order to have money to purchase F-35. That's what the bulk of the US AID is.

  5799.  @JackIsNotInTheBox  It usually takes about 2-3 javelins to kill one tank, yes it only needs one, but in practice you need 2-3. Cost wise losing yes the tank is more expensive, but the tank + platoon can kill multiple javelin teams along with their support units. More importantly the tank can move while under fire, the javelin can't.

  5913.  @The_ZeroLine  Correct, because the Army needed and still needs Close Air Support. Fact is, that A-10 squadrons that convert to F-16's are getting CAS training but those that are converting to F-35A's are getting zero CAS training. That puts a lie to the claim that the F-35 can do CAS as well as the A-10.
    1
  5914. @The_ZeroLine  CAS is still a requirement, and right now the USAF's answer is to give the mission to another plane they've been trying to get rid off since they did not want and is even equally more vulnerable, has a smaller war load and higher maintenance cost and like the A-10 is scheduled to be retired.

  5955.  @deckwolf3442  You realize that's the preamble not the actual constitution. And per the precedent set by Trump, Biden can declare an emergency and just take money appropriated by Congress from one domestic project, and use it for Ukraine. He also has enough draw down authority to take arms and munitions and other items in the US stocks and send them to Ukraine. He also has the authority to send the US Army, USAF and USN with Marines to fight in Ukraine under two existing authorities. What stops Biden from doing this is his ingrained instict to seek consensus rather than act individually and seek out a fight with Congress that he does not really want to have.

  5972. @Dimitris Gregan  Answer, yes. The S300-500 like all radar guided SAM's can't shoot at what they can't see. Stay below the radar horizon and you can safely operate as close to 40 miles from the SAM radar and it's missiles, and depending on the terrain closer still. It's Vietnam War era tactics. The radar system has gotten faster due to the computers but the fundamentals of radar have not changed. The Ukrainians are flying sorties when they need to. Mostly it's to lob a HARM at a radar or radio signal or for intercepts. They fly west of the battle lines and the Russians stay on the other side.

Less than 6 aircraft were recovered from those, and 4 MiG-29's were assembled from the parts sent from Poland.

  6000. Re F-16's game changer. It's a matter of Ukraine having any combat aircraft at all. The MiG-29 comes out of the factory with 2,500 flight hours (20 years at 150hr/yr) and and since Feb 24 2023 to 8/17/23, almost every single MiG-29 has racked up over 4,000 flight hours on top of what ever flight hours they had already accumulated in the 31 years since they were purchased in 1991. That includes all the donated MiG's all of them are 31 years old or older with as much as 4,100hrs on the airframe before they were donated to Ukraine. So they need those F-16's since last year

  6007.  @JeikuAnimeReview  not if you are not willing to put skin in the game. As long as you are not willing to put US soldiers on the ground in harms way, there is no security. Trump's policy of no US troops, no NATO membership, no NATO peacekeeper ensures that the war will start up again after Putin rebuilds his army.

No mention of future aid either. Oh and has withdrawn permission from the use of US supplied or built weapons against Russian bases from where Russia launches attacks against Ukraine

  6016. This is the only way a Republican can win in California these days. They can't win in the general election. Heck even in this they can't be honest. The articles they list in all 6 recall petitions don't match the reasons they give to the people when they are gathering signatures. They use Newsome's handling of the Covid 19 response but that never appears in the recall articles. Because most of the recall petitions were filed before 2019.

There are upgrade kits to allow MiG-21's to use modern HOBS missiles along with the helmet to aim it. That system can be adapted to any aircraft including if you want a P-51.

In between they'll be using their long range rockets to keep interdicting the Russian supply depots and transit points. And the larger the number of Russian troops the easier it will be to cause supply shortages.

  6056. It would be better to put a 2 spd gearbox, low gear for sporty riding, high gear for eco/max range mode. This same gear selector would change the battery power output mode. This will increase your range on a single charge by anywhere from 15% to 50%.
    1
  6057.  @DownieLive  The single gear still means that at 65mph you're range is lower than if you were running at 35mph. That's because the electronic "eco" mode only regulates the power output, not the rotation of the wheels per rotation of the engine. A 2 speed gearbox, solves that issue so with the it in "high gear" the motor turns as many rpm as it would at 35mph but the wheels will be turning revs for 65mph. Simple, lightweight no muss on fuss. It would probably add less weight than a second battery and probably cost less too.

All Executive Privilege documents belong to the US Government because Trump does not have Executive Privilege because that Privilege belongs to the sitting President, and that President is Joe Biden and he stated in March 2021 that Donald J Trump does not have Executive Privilege.

If you can read you can figure out how to use the gearshift, throttle, steering bar and brakes. Learning to use the gun is only slightly more difficult. The US makes it as easy as possible to use these things. Now maintaining them, that's another story.

  6094.  @sharequsman596  It's the maintenance that takes time. driving the tank is as easy to learn as driving jeep. Shooting the gun, see those buttons? see that stick? put the thing on the thing press that button to get the range, press the other button, then squeeze the trigger. (ok, that's a bit simplified, but not by much) Loader, use your knee to open the door, grab that round, put it in the breech, close the breach, call out what type you loaded, keep your limbs clear of the breach. As soon as the gun is fired, the used casing will be ejected, load the next round that the gunner or TC orders.

  6124. As long as the Ukrainians are only getting hand held weapons, they will always be on the defensive and will be hard pressed to just hold on to the territory they have. To win, to drive the Russian Army out of Ukraine, it needs 500 tanks, double that number in APC's SPG's mobile SAM's and AAA. and it needs all within a month or less. As soon as Mariupol falls, and it will, the Russian forces there will head north and will trap the Ukrainian forces in the east. To avoid this, the Ukrainians will be forced to abandon all of eastern Ukraine and pull back to the east of the Dnipro river losing half their country. So it needs that armor, it needs an Air Force.

Now take the number of the mobilized troops (300k) subtract for casualties and replacements and the troop deficits from the existing force. What's left from that you now divide by 3 and what's left is the total combat force number you add to the existing 190-200k that you started the invasion with.

Among them anesthetics and anesthesia machines, oxygen cylinders, ventilators and water filtration systems, toys because they were in a wooden box rather than a cardboard box, sleeping bags were denied because they had zippers, and sanitary pads were turned back because a nail clipper was included in the hygiene kit, maternity kits. If a truck was found with just one of these, the entire truck is sent back to be inspected and approved and it can take a month before it can begin another attempt to be delivered.

The order for Paladin SPG's are delayed due to a crowded production line, they are getting new, fresh off the assembly line kit, not 2nd hand SPG's.

Meanwhile the bomb pops open it's wings, the seeker head at the front of the bomb looks for the laser, finds it and guides the bomb into the target. With a JDAM, it does the same thing, only it looks at the GPS coordinates, compares where it is, and steers towards the spot.

  6224. Russia is already eating into it's economic reserves, it's gas/oil revenue is off by 50% while expenditures are increasing. every manhour put into military manufacturing is a manhour deleted from the economy. They lost access to European cars so they turned to Chinese and other manufacturers but car sales are 1/2 of pre war levels. Ukraine's economy is in stasis, but unlike Russia, it's getting money to support it's expenditures from Europe and the USA. Putin says that T-90 production has increased 300%, ok, Oryx has reported that 32 T-90 tanks have been confirmed as destroyed/captured. Covert Cabal has reported that out of the 200 or so T-90's in storage only 90 are still there. so, 300% production + 110 stored tanks, exactly how many T-90's did Russia really lose?? where are the 110 + new build tanks if only 30+ were destroyed?

Russia brags about being able to fire 50,000 shells a day which to American war planners find amusing because that's what the US considers to be a low intensity war.

In hindsight though Russia's invasion almost guarantees that from this point on, not only will NATO place permanent bases with troops permanently station in nations that border Russia, they will station medium range nukes there as well including giving them to the host country if that's what the host country wants. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are asking for NATO troops, aircraft, anti-armor forces and Air Defense assets to be permanently based there.

Javelins showed up in their sealed crates without instruction manuals, no training aids or spare batteries and no one to train the javelin squad. All the American trainers were in the west, and the Javelin crews were in front and they were not going back to Lviv to train. not when they were fighting the Russians daily. So if you want to audit them, better bring your body armor and plates, cause the Ukrainians are not in a position to send you an accountant, those guys got set to the front back in Feb/March.

  6319. The problem with "concurency" was and is its running at the same time as you are building the plane which leads to the customer refusing delivery of the plane because the software needed to fly it that you were supposed to provide is not ready yet. Or that aircraft just delivered have to fly with restrictions or have to be "fixed" because what you delivered and are still delivering are beta models and not the finished product. This was not the case with the F-16 as those early blocks were exactly what they were meant to be. That the aircraft had other requirements added was a USAF thing. They wanted a bomb truck in order to protect F-15 procurement. Thus they even came with the idea of mounting a 30mm gunpod hoping to use it to kill off the A-10 program.

  6324. EV's will win because of government regulations, not necessarily due to consumer demand. Because right now and for the foreseeable future the cost of the battery is going to keep the cost of the vehicles higher than their ICE counterparts. The only way to even that out at the moment is if you put an artificial handicap ICE's by making it more expensive to purchase and own or even prohibit their ownership. Much like how in China it is prohibitively expensive to register an ICE car while it's free to register a BEV. And some cities prohibit ICE cars from being driven in the city during the work week.

If you have a hammer and a welding tools you can build an AK 47 If you have access to a CNC machine like the ones used to make custom metal parts and wheels you can build a gun from scratch except for the barrel.

  6399. Nemesis Dawn Where the heck did you come up with Obama purging 2/3 of the US Generals (by definition a general is in the military so military General does not make sense). There are US Armed Forces are authorized to have 652 active duty Generals and Admiral. So 2/3 of these means Obama fired 434 of them. Ok list them. FYI most generals are above 51 by the time they make General or Admiral. Mandatory retirement is at 62-64. Something like 50 or more Generals/Admirals retire every year. As to the one's Obama sacked. I count a couple almost all were due to misconduct, ranging from a drunken bender, a public altercation with a mistress, publicly, verbally abusing a subordinate, using fake poker chips at a casino, a major failure that led to the loss of most of the USMC's Harrier force in Afghanistan in a single attack. Some General who were dismissed were allowed to remain in the service and retire on time with their full pensions.

Re CAS in Ukraine, the reason for it's lack of effectiveness is because the SAM's were not destroyed, something the US learned to do back in the 70's and 80's and showed to great effect in the 90's. Use stealth aircraft to knock out EW and C3 units, followed seconds after with an assault on SAM and AAA units by other stealth aircraft, helicopters and anything else that with wings, an engine and can carry a bomb. Repeat as needed until enemy air defense network is rendered, well dead. Then send in the tanks, mech infantry with CAS on hand and Wild Weasels and ecm birds to deal with any surviving SAM threats.

  6458. Cohen specifically says that the payments were made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal with the coordination and direction of his client who was running for federal office, that these payments were not for personal reasons but for the benefit of his client's political campaign. So sorry, that sir are two campaign violations, 1 for causing an illegal corporate contribution (Corporations are prohibited from contributing directly to a federal campaign, the money came from an LLC set up specifically for this purpose and the beneficiary was the campaign) 2 for an excessive personal campaign contribution for his payments to two women during the 2016 campaign. (There is a maximum monetary limit for personal campaign contributions, and there is a requirement that ALL money going into and out of the campaign be fully disclosed) The ex FEC chair's opinion not withstanding, Cohen plead guilty to campaign finance violations, Since Cohen's plea states that he did so on the orders of his client. If by making the payments, the lawyer violated campaign finance laws, then it stands to reason that the client who gave the order, coordinated the finances and whose campaign was the beneficiary of said illegal acts, can be charged with the same charges and additional charges stemming from them. The only question is who of his 3 clients was running for public office.
    1
  6459. That FEC chairman first said that statement back when the FBI raided Cohen's apartment back in April It seems he still hasn't changed his opinion even though Cohen just plead guilty to the very thing that the Ex-FEC Chairman says was not a campaign violation. In the future, one should not ask that particular person as to what is or isn't a campaign violation. The rule in it's simplest form Any money going into the campaign has to be reported. Any money spent by the campaign has to be reported. Any contributions by a corporation (the LLC that was created to pay Daniels and McDougal) are illegal because Cohen states that those payments were made to aid DJT's campaign and not DJT as an individual. The amounts paid to Daniels and McDougal exceed the amounts allowed by Federal campaign laws and as such were illegal.

  6462.  @warukraine9650  What 120 planes delivered after the war?????? The Ukrainians rebuilt a couple of MiG's and SU's from the one's that had been in storage waiting for parts. No Country has sent completed aircraft, just aircraft parts. Of course the Polish MiG's may have been dissembled and sent by truck in multiple shipments and rebuilt in Ukraine, but that only accounts for less than 10 planes.

  6463.  @warukraine9650  That's funny, cause what Ukraine got is fairly well documented despite claims to the contrary. And no, Ukraine did not receive new aircraft.

As to the the aircraft losses, those were documented since the bulk of them were over Ukrainian controlled or now liberated territory. At most recent survey, the Ukrainian Air Force has lost 51 aircraft, 15 MiG-29, 7 Su-27, 15 Su-25, 13 SU-24M and 1 strike aircraft (Su-25 or Su-24) vs 198 Russian combat aircraft destroyed: 14 damaged and 83 captured.

Meanwhile the US inflation rate has slowed, it's had the largest employment growth in decades with all of the Covid-19 losses recovered by last year, it's moving to bring production back to the US with items that use to be produced in China being moved to Mexico, Canada or the US proper. As far as US and NATO stockpiles, don't worry, production is increasing, so much so that by 2024, Ukraine will have 5 more Patriot batteries, all of them brand spanking new, fresh from the factory. Ukraine will have a Rhinemetal factory in Ukraine by end of this year building armored vehicles.

Same when the Prosecutor's office is deliberating or investigating if there are grounds to bring an indictment. They can bring you in for an interview, but they don't need to. That is what the House Committee's impeachment inquiry hearings are. They are determining if there are enough grounds to bring articles of impeachment (indictments) against Donald Trump. In the Senate where the Trial will take place, Trump will have plenty of opportunities to make whatever defense he wants to make.

At this meeting he presents his findings and executive order, telling them what he wants done and the desired timeframe. 4.Orders are issued along with the proper security classifications and list of people who need to know. 5. Execution. Done. 6. Fall out, Demands for investigation, Per SCOTUS the meeting was legal and within the scope of all the participant's jobs. The reason for the meeting and motivation can not be question per SCOTUS. 7. without any evidence the opposition are able to pass impeachent but since the Senate is controlled by the loyalist party, no conviction. 8. Without a conviction, no Prosecution can take place and since all of it is legal per SCOTUS, the matter ends there. 9. Opposition Justices have a hunting/MV accident

A study in the US about where the covid testing centers and vaccine sites are located found that they are usually in the whiter, more affluent areas. Some districts with high black populations have no hospitals in them and so no vaccine sites are set up in the area. It happened here in California too. We had to intentionally set up mobile vaccine trucks and drive to where the patients were, and that only started in the past few weeks when reports showed that it was mostly white folks who were getting the vaccines and the folks who were getting hit the hardest were not getting it because they could not get to the sites.

Now it turns out that Nancy Macy and the House republicans have the transcript of the interview with the Burisma executive whom their "missing source" said has tapes of Hunter and the Burisma exec has testified that he never talked to Joe Biden or any US government official, and he denies having made any tapes. Also the reason the reason the "whistle-blower" is missing is because he's been on the lam for 3 years after he was arrested in Cyprus for illegal arms sales to Kenya, Libya and the UAE, sanction violations concerning Iranians oil sales to China, not being a registered agent when he was working for China and he hired a former Trump official to lobby the Trump administration to make pro China changes to their policies and US law.

In other words, police are well within their rights to pick and choose when to intervene to protect the lives and property of others — even when a threat is apparent. Meaning, the police and stand on a street corner and watch you being beaten to death with a hammer and they would be within the law to wait for your attacker to get tired of beating you and still not do anything.

Flat terrain is tank country. The reason Russia does not use it's Air Force more is because it lost a fair number of aircraft during the first month when they were flying over central Ukraine and the Ukrainian Air force and SAM net came back online after the Russian jammers got knocked out.

  6777.  @Lilmickcrocodiledundee0001  Do you actually think that Biden is sending that much money overseas?? Man you really need a reality check. Read the freaking terms. Most of it is putting a 2023 monetary value on a item we paid for 20-30 years ago and deducting that value from the aid package. In reality it was costing us more money to keep the item in storage than sending it to Ukraine. Others are payments to American companies to purchase items to re-stock the stored munitions.

We are spending money to keep those weapons and munitions in usable state, then when they expire we will spend more money to dispose of them. Sending them to Ukraine saves us money in storage, disposal costs, and it allows us to procure new munitions and weapons.

  6791.  @georgetracy666  A lot of that is the rubberbanding that's been going on. One of the things that happened about 2 years ago was something called a pandemic. The measures taken to combat it caused a massive drop in oil demand and oil prices fell. Oil companies could not sell the gas and other petroleum products they had already produced and they were running out of places they could store them and the oil that was still arriving. So oil slashed production and slowly they used up that stored oil and oil products. When the world started to come back, demand spiked but production was still low, guess what, prices went up as demand outstripped supply. Now that happened across the entire economy world wide. And here we are still dealing with the effects of that and the continuing uncertainties of Covid 19 (which is still here and is still killing us) and now add that to a moron in Russia deciding it's a good time to emulate hitler.

Many who were turned away, did not wait. They picked up rifles from the government armory or bought their own and went Ork hunting on their own. That's where the Ukrainian mindset is today.

They just have to tailor the camo net to the tank.

  6900. @twirlyturd4364  by summer next year, Ukraine will be producing a large part of it's 155mm munition needs via German/Ukrainian munitions factory in Ukraine. It is currently building, using NATO funds, Ukrainian designed NATO quality 155mm Self Propelled artillery in enough numbers that they can keep up with losses of said mobile. Artillery. Oh, and after giving the Russian Black Sea Fleet a bloody nose, Ukraine is exporting more grain via the black Sea than it did when it had a grain deal with Russia. IMF based on it's data that Ukraine GDP will grow at 3% for the next 2 years. Side note Japan loaned Ukraine money at a 30+10yr term at 1% interest. Note healthy inflation rate is 2%.

  6907. Just for comparison, I had an old Toyota FX16 that someone had rammed at 15-25mph. It bucked the front bumper into the body by a good 4 inches and damaged everything from the radiator forward, a lot worse that what happened to their Tesla, enough that the insurance company wanted to write off the car. I got them to fix it because I pointed out, that the replacement cost was going to cost as much as 3 times the repair as the nearest replacement car which the insurance agent found as was using to justify their offer was in Arizona. Now this is a car that had been out of production since 1990's and was only in production for 3 years at what is now the Tesla factory and they built fewer of them than they built Model S's. After the insurance finally agreed to repair the car, it the shop took about a week to repair the car.

And most of those platforms can't break mach 1 with the FAB with glide and guidance kit, this reduces the bomb's range They also are limited in altitude, this too limits it's range. With a max range of around 40km, there are a few long range SAM systems that can pick off the launch aircraft before they can release the bomb

This falls under United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) Article 18. The US practices a more assertive form under the United States Freedom of Navigation Program ( FONOP) which started under Carter and has continued under every US President since. Under this program freedom of Navigation is backed with armed warships and aircraft. And it has challenged both the USSR and PRC's claims to waters beyond the 12 mile limit and Iran's attempts to shut down the Persian Gulf

  7088. To bad the interpretation was 100% wrong. Near as we can tell all were legal combatants ie members of the Ukrainian Army. The law prohibits Americans from joining while inside the USA or it's territories. To quote the late Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy " the neutrality laws were never designed to prevent individuals from leaving the United States to fight for a cause in which they believed. There is nothing in the neutrality laws which prevents refugees from Cuba from returning to that country to engage in the fight for freedom. Nor is an individual prohibited from departing from the United States, with others of like belief, to join still others in a second country for an expedition against a third country…What the law does prohibit is a group organized as a military expedition from departing from the United States to take action as a military force against a nation with whom the United States is at peace."

As near as we can tell, if the A-10 attacks from behind and above, the likely result will be that the tank will lose an engine, anyone on top of the tank, is dead, if the hatch is open, better hope none of the 40 rounds that hit you hit there, antenna's, sensors, optics will be damaged.

The Machine gun will require a license and tax, but the ammo does not. The coax machine gun, has a fixed magazine, does not have a grenade launcher, bayonet nor a pistol grip, so it's not an assault weapon.

  7134.  @antoniosarmientoluna6497  The 5.56 was selected because it was lighter so you could carry more of it, not because it was more lethal. It's lightness, low recoil translated to easier to aim and it's low penetration means it does not over penetrate (go through the body) as often and this combination makes it an ideal self/home defense ammunition. Oh and all bullets tumble when the hit. The idea is to transfer the bullet's kenetic energy into the target. The .22 will tumble, the 5.57 will tumble so will the 5.56, the 7.62 will tumble slightly less due to greater mass deflecting less in the given timeframe.

At that rate of advance, The Russians will regain what they lost to the Ukrainians in 2023 in about 5 years. That's right, the Ukrainians captured territory at 3x the rate that the Russians did and they did it without the normal 3-1 advantage or air superiority. They will regain territory equal to what the Ukrainians recaptured in 2021-22 and reach where they were in March 2022 in about 52 years

Because of this no US President will ever be able to withdraw and hide behind our borders. In response to this the US military has adopted the concept of the "long war" and we will continue to maintain forward bases from where we can launch strikes anywhere and at any time. That means even now that we are not in Afghanistan, we keep bombers in Diego Garcia a Carrier Group will station itself in the Indian Ocean until it is relieved by another Carrier Group, Reaper Drones fly out of bases in Pakistan, the Arabian peninsula and Turkey.

Same time they have a force trying to relieve Kharkiv from the west. It's risky because they really don't have the numbers for it but I guess they are trying to take advantage of the Russians slow ooda loop.

  7328. As long as the USAF USN and Marines continue to reduce it's size, short it's munitions production, the answer is no. The USAF wants to retire more F-16's and A-10's than it is receiving F-35A's and the F-35A pilots who are transitioning from A-10's will receive zero Close Air Support Training hours. The US Navy has been asking to reduce it's carrier fleet to 10 carriers when it's already below it's 12 carrier minimum. At least it's Naval Aviation is catching on and has ordered 17 new F/A-18E/F block 3's as it's FA-XX program is delayed.

And yeah, the Russians are losing 4 tanks for every 1 that the Ukrainians lose. Look the Oryx database if you want to see the truth. And Oryx is on the conservative side, just compare it to the numbers issued by the Russian and Ukrainian governments. As to why Ukraine needs more tanks, Russia is "winning", so why is it raiding its storage facilities for tanks that were retired 30-40 years ago? Ukrainians need more tanks just as the Americans, British and USSR needed more tanks. In war, equipment gets destroyed even when you win.

  7355.  @jlv61560  F/A-18E/F is the better fit due to availability and rugged landing gear. Downside is the same as the Gripen, numbers : (, So the default candidate is the F-16. Lots of low time aircraft in Europe, some in the USA, enough for 3 squadrons plus spares. Also it has an active production line that can be expanded to produce new F-16 block 70's (I'd leave the conformal fuel tanks off and just go with the traditional drop tanks). the block 70 has the F-35 derived AESA radar, HARM targeting pods, advanced self protection ecm and a 30k lb class engine

  7399. Mark Plott Tesla does not build 100,000 Model S a year. A production car is mass-produced passenger vehicle with identical models, offered for sale to the public, and able to be legally driven on public roads. So the Porsche E will be a production car, just as the Panamera is. It has to as VW needs a EV entries to for legal/political reasons. Remember the Tesla's astounding 1/4 mile time? Building cars isn't a drag race, it's more like a 24hr endurance race or a rally that covers half a continent. And VW/Porsche/Audi have been doing that for decades. Remember VW's EV racer? That took them 9 months to build and a single attempt to claim not just the Pikes Peak EV record, but the overall win as well. VW, Porsche's parent company has been building EV's since 1989 when Elan Musk was still 18. So it's not that VW doesn't know how to build an EV, it's because for them the battery technology was still not there. It's still not, the battery needs to increase it's power density by 400-600% before it is actually on par with petrol. But given certain legal requirements, VW is preparing to build more EV's a day than Tesla builds in a month.

VW, Porsche's parent company on the other hand builds 6,000,000 vehicles a year right now and will be adding 16 factories for EV production. Porsche builds the marque cars, VW builds the mass market cars, including a EV Golf which according to the sales reports is moving about 1,500 units/month in the EU. As to the charging stations In the USA, 189 are to be installed at dealerships in the USA, 20 in Canada and 291 will be spread out along the US highway system.

A rather funny brag as to do so the Russians will need to learn how to swim across the Dnipro river with while carrying their combat gear, retake the west side of Kherson, fight their way past Mykolaiv, which they were unable to do since March. The alternate is go North to Zaporizhzhia, Cross the Dnieper River at one of 2 bridges (which the Ukrainians will blow up). So probably the Russians will reach Mykolaiv some time in 2024-26.

  7418.  @rin-m2j  Like we "robbed" the Afghanistan of it's resources and we "Robbed" Iraq of it's resources. The resources belong to the Ukraine, that is recognized as such by the member states of the UN and Russia agreed to those borders. As far as who cares for it's citizens, Russia is more than willing to kill millions of it's own citizens to get what it wants and it's done so. There isn't a Ukrainian who does not know about the Holodomor.

  7434.  @raywhitehead730  We're talking defensive warfare here. You can move 8 fighters from Kyiv to Odessa in 40 minutes. Not soon enough to stop the first day of missile attacks, but soon enough to stop the 2nd and subsequent attacks. You can't say the same for Patriots or any other mobile SAM.

So I'm wondering, are we paying more for half the capability? There are also 90 S-3 vikings in storage, many with more than 50% of their airframe hours still available. Converting those to KS-3 would give the Navy double the fuel load for less than the 17-20 million per unit that the Navy will be paying for these drone.

Like the Tesla that caught fire while in slow traffic in Santa Monica this June, or that Tesla that went up in flames as it was parked at a garage, after it was put out by the FD, it re-ignited after it had been moved to a tow yard by the FD. Funny thing, the battery fires tend to be hotter than the melting point of the aluminum that Tesla uses for the body and frame. So that aluminum floor, will probably melt away should the battery underneath it catch fire. Also the position and construction of the battery casing means that it's not easy to put it out should it catch fire.

Why do you think that the Poles sent half their tanks to Ukraine while Germany dithered about actually sending heavy equipment? No Poland had ATGM's MANPADS, ammunition headed east to Ukraine as quickly as they could put them together and on the trucks. Even now ammunition purchased by Poland finds it's way to the Ukrainian front lines just a few days after it was delivered to Poland. Don't be surprised if the new Polish M1 Tank training school in Poland will have folks attending with non-Polish names and uniforms without rank or national insignia.

We have a system where innocent people still end up in jail and we know this because we've been forced to release people who've served decades in jail for a crime they did not commit. And to top it off, that's about to get worse because of the recent SCOTUS ruling that essentially says that if you are convicted of a crime, you can't get an appeal because your lawyer was incompetent or otherwise failed to do their job of presenting a defense. Meaning if your lawyer slept through the case and you get convicted, you don't have grounds for an appeal.

A-10's would often fly below the low flying clouds, making attacks from 5,000 feet and lower, turning inside the valley while staying below the cloud to keep a visual on their target. The only other aircraft that could do the same were the helicopters who often ran into altitude restrictions in the hot and thin air of the Afghan mountains

The person who is stupid, is the one who thinks that the question should not be asked, who thinks that Chris Cuomo "looked stupid" for asking the question. This is what happens when the left starts acting like the idiots on the right wing sites. 4. Cortez did not answer the question.

So only 1/3 are actually usable. Ukraine meanwhile is getting donations of ex-USSR tanks, most of which were upgraded by the donors.

That's against Ukraine. Against just the the EU component of NATO, they'd have lost an equal number to 2x that. Against the US, the Russians would be down to fielding 1 KA-52 every 2 months and losing it after the first week. Now extrapolate from that what would happen to the rest of the Russian Air Force and the Ground based air defense systems. And once those are neutered, with only the units inside Russia remaining, what do you think would happen to the Russian Army in Ukraine?

    1
  7611.  @Azeraph  It has 4 steering fins in the back, just enough to push the back end out and let the body steer the missile at below mach 4. just enough to make corrections so it can hit a slow moving target The same steering fins can be used to slow the missile, if you point them at each other, they can act as speed brakes. think skier pointing his/her skies inwards.
    1
  7612.  @Azeraph  Yeah, Kinzhal (Dagger), it goes up into a zoom climb to get to thin air until the rocket motor burns out, then goes the rest of the way in a ballistic trajectory. During that phase it can hit mach 7, but when it starts it's (shallow) dive, it has to slow down otherwise the plasma that builds up in front of it blinds the sensor and it does not know where it is or where it needs to go. So it dumps speed to the point that it can see again, then continues it's shallow dive. Technically it's supposed to be able to hit a ship (30 knots) but it's not been demonstrated to have actually hit one.

The Ghost. part real part myth and legend. Btw Ace in a day is possible and has happened since WW1 Ex 22 April 1945, three American USMC pilots of VMF-323 shot down 16 Japanese planes over Okinawa. 16 September 1943, Major Gregory Boyington of VMF-214 scored five victories over the Solomon Islands while flying an F4U Corsair Hans-Joachim Marseille, shot down 17 Allied fighter on Sept 1 42 in 3 sorties over North Africa I figure the only reason it has not happened recently is due to the lack of air to air combat.

  7687.  @hailexiao2770  It's 40 miles from the searching radar which can be 100 miles in front of the target that the B-2 is trying to hit. The Russians have been using a multi layer defense of MiG-31's and SU-30/35's at 30-60,000ft operating inside the S-300/400/500 envelope. This provided mutual defense against attack against the fighter/interceptor patrols or the GBAD. Non stealth aircraft are not going to be able to easily crack that defense though the F-22 might. But the F-22's need for airborne tanker support will tip off the Russians of their presence and general location.

So no, NK will never willingly give up their nukes. Sooner or later the USA will have to welcome North Korea into the Nuclear Weapons club.

The US added laser guidance in the 60's, then IR and GPS in the 80's and 1990's. there is even a version that was introduced in the 2000's that when dropped by an aircraft glides while broadcasting false radar returns of dozens of aircraft or cruise missiles.

  7827.  @strawhatwolffy4701  That Trump would tear up documents that were supposed to be archived is a story that's been reported on as early as 2017, and the archive's office assigned staff to tape the torn documents back together so that they could then be scanned and archived. We know that he does not understand why his lawyers would keep notes of their meetings with him because he complained about it on tv. We have pictures taken by the Presidential Archive's staff of the boxes of documents that they retrieved from Florida. We also know that there are more documents missing because the Archivist has sent a letter stating that there are still missing documents and they want the DOJ to help them get them from Trump. The same office has reported that Trump sent documents to the Pentagon to be burned when they should have been retained and sent to the White House Archives.

  7828.  @strawhatwolffy4701  Yeah, sure, and Trump was not forced to shut down his charity because the court found that he was stealing from it and other charities. Or that Trump University was forced to shut down and Trump (who owns 90+% of the company) claimed to have personally hired only the top people in their field never met most of them and most had no experience in the field they were suppose to be experts in. Heck this hiring unqualified people extended to his time in the WH where he put in charge people who's only experience in running a government staff was being an unpaid intern at one of Trump's campaign offices. Sorry, I've been watching this turkey's shenanigans for over a decade now. He was a clown and a joke then and still is. He just moved on to a bigger scam.

  7831. So the Ukrainians should fight, but not so hard as to actually win??? I'm sorry, if I was the leader of a country and Russians attacking my fuel supply, bombing my cities to rubble, murdering my people, I would have burned down every single fuel and munition depot in Russia withing 100 miles of our border. That reduces the immediate supply that their troops in the field have and restricts their movement and attacks. It forces them to use trucks and other less efficient means of storage and distribution causing a permanent restriction in the fuel supply, more tanks and trucks and IFV's abandoned on the road due to lack of fuel, more troops starving because they can't get supplies.

An undocumented worker who worked as a housekeeper at Trump's Bedminster Golf Club earned 26k and paid more taxes than Trump did in 2011 when he paid $0.00 We also know that only Trump's 2017 taxes were audited and that was not started until 2019.

The US Army and Marines are reducing their over all size, the USAF is also going to shrink, shedding more aircraft than it's purchasing. That means if countries like Finland, Latvia, Poland and Moldova want to keep Russia out of their countries (Moldova already has Russian troops in Moldova to protect the Russian funded and backed separatists), they will need to strengthen their own capabilities by upgrading or replacing their 40-50 year old planes and tanks with weapons that can actually destroy those currently used by the Russians. This will also affect Australia, Japan, Korea and Taiwan.

  7863.  @shaftoe195  In order for the Tu-160 to hit what it needs to hit, it has to leave friendly airspace. otherwise you don't need the range that it has, and that combat range (2,000km) is well outside the max range of the longest ranged (1,600km) Russian built fighter. Oh and A2A missiles are easier to evade the further out you have to shoot, if you have 10 missiles, a good pilot, (and most American Lt's have more flying time than an entire squadron of Russian pilots put together), and 70% is pure air to air combat with the rest being navigation and tanking.

  7947.  @rouz0  Standard military math is 1/3 of your unit is undergoing repair, 1/3 in transit or training, only 1/3 is available for mission tasking. Based on the US's surveillance the Russians were flying a fraction of the sortie rate that US was flying during desert storm where the US mentained an 80-90% mission availability rate for all of it's tactical aircraft and was launching each jet 2-3 times a day including at night. If you think that's a guess, that's your choice. But be warned, Moscow knows that the US has been able to track where the Russian AWAC's, and where the Fighter Patrols, where the bombers are. From the time they go wheels up all the way to their launch points or patrol orbits.

  8024. John, you already spent that budget. The lethal aid that will be sent was purchased years ago. Missiles go bad, it costs money to take each one inspect it, take out the batteries and other perishables and replace them, re-test the before they can be put back into service. Ex The USN purchased hundreds of million dollar AIM-54 Phoenix missiles for the F-14 back in the 70's and 80's. During the Gulf War in 1991 the F-14's fired almost a dozen of them at Iraqi aircraft. Almost all of them came off the aircraft as they were supposed to then promptly fell into the Persian Gulf because the rocket motors did not fire. The missiles had been in storage, been mounted onto the planes, dismounted, stored, then pulled out of storage and mounted back on planes so often that the motors failed. If the Iraqi's had been better trained pilots those F-14 pilots would been in trouble as suddenly they were now forced to close to within 10 nautical miles of the Iraqis, well inside the Iraqi missile range. We've had old anti tank and anti aircraft missiles fired during exercises that launched from the launcher only to fall nose first into the ground with live warheads just feet from the soldiers who launched it.

  8036.  @marytaylor4436  The total number of people (civilians) who were killed in the 8 years of war in the Donbass is smaller than the number of Ukrainian civilians killed by Russians in 8 months. 3,404 civilians killed from 2014-2022 vs 6,430 killed (conf. minimum, thought higher) from Feb 2022-October 2022, both numbers are from the UN. That means that during the Donbass conflict an average of 35 civilians were killed every month, while during the Russian invasion of 2022, the number of civilians killed is 803 confirmed killed per month.

  8087.  james Deer  Soviet fighter pilots knew they had a problem going back to the 1950's. During the Vietnam war they did not teach the Vietnamese pilots how to dogfight in any of the aircraft they provided because the Russian pilots did not know how to dogfight. The Vietnamese got their dogfight training from the Chinese. Sometime in the 70's the Soviets command admitted that their pilots were severely under trained with most pilots being graded on checking the box exercises rather than actual flying skill.

Back then the goal was Universal Healthcare for all Americans and legal residents. Opposition came mostly from Conservatives and Republicans. So they had to come up with a combination of private and public systems to make it work. By the time it was passed it had been scaled back in order to get Republican and Conservative Democrat votes and was now called the Affordable Care Act, aka Obama Care.

That's 19 days + 1 day of bombing. that was sustained. If you look at the map, you find that in order to get to the capital the US needed to drive up the main highway before reaching the capital over 200 miles from the border. In comparison the Russian drove what, 70 miles and have been fighting there for 22 days now.

If you have no ID or any of the other documents, Coloradans able to cast a provisional ballot, and counties must attempt to verify those individuals’ identities.

  8153.  @antiblonda1737  the signature matching is automated with a manual match if there are issues. But as to why it's not been adopted elsewhere, sadly having a system that works is not the point of most of these new laws it seems. It's to reduce the number of voters on one side and maximize the chance of victory for the party in power, in these cases, the Republican party.

  8154.  @antiblonda1737  Why reduce the number of ballot drop boxes to 1 per 100k (this means Fulton county will lose over 1/2 of their drop boxes)? Why insist that they be indoors and only open when the office that it's in is open? The Georgia governor claims that the new laws a like those in Colorado, in Colorado the drop boxes are outside and often on the curb so that you can drive up to the drop box, fill in your ballot and drop it off without leaving your car. oh and Colorado has 1 ballot drop box per 16,000 people. It's why in Colorado there are no waiting lines during elections while in Georgia while the statewide average waiting line is under 5 minutes, the average the more urban and minority areas is closer to 2 hours sometimes 4. This is not a new problem, it's been getting worse over the decades. Each election cycle there are more voters but each election cycle there are fewer voting sites.

By Friday they had come up with where they could bring it down, what units they needed to make the kill, and what units were needed to secure the recovery area and do the recovery, Biden authorized the operation. The op involved F-15's and F-22's with tanker support, Navy ships were positioned cordon the area and salvage ships were on station to pick up the debris.

Base facts, Oil Companies during covid had a glut of unsold product, so they cut back on production, oil suppliers reduced production and deliveries. As covid receded, oil demand increased, returning to pre-covid levels, oil production however was slow to ramp up as the increasing demand for oil and current lack of oil drove prices up and spiked revenue.

  8161. Not as much oil money as last year. They are selling at below market rates, and they are not selling refined oil products to their largest buyers.

You realize when that happens, Russia is going to lose it's entire air force within a month along with every air defense system within 35 miles of the Russian border? Before you say that Russia has a lot of planes, ask yourself, how many new combat aircraft have Sukhoi and MiG delivered in the past 6 months. I use 6 months because prior to that, the planes being build still have pre-sanctions. After that it's parts from a diminishing western made stocks or new local parts.

  8220.  @devinchetra4374  Pay attention, During Russia's attempt at taking Kyiv in Feb 22 though March of 2022, the Russians captured the Chernobyl Power Plant. They captured the power plant personel and held them prisoner at the plant. Meanwhile, to defend their positions at the plant, they had their soldiers digging trenches and fighting positions outside the plant, in the radioactive soil that as the spring thaw set in, the frozen soil turned into mud that got into their boots, their vehicles, their weapons. So when they left, they left in vehicles caked with radioactive mud. If they are lucky, they'll die from a bullet or artillery shell, if they are not so lucky, they will die slowly from the radiation they lived in for over a month.

SAAB is a US defense contractor, it is authorized to sell aircraft to the US.

  8407.  @Khalkara  Which at the time of it's writing was every able bodied man who could carry a rifle, often they provided their own rifle and ammunition. Heck it was not uncommon for private citizens to purchase cannons to provide them for the local town/village's defense. On the high seas, the US used privateers. In the war of 1812, these privateers were private sloops and other merchant vessels that their owners outfitted (at their own expense) cannons and oversized crews. They were responsible for capturing between 1,200-2,000 British merchant vessels while the US Navy in comparison, captured about 250 ships.

  8408.  @Khalkara  The current equivalent today of the continental militia would be a civilian with his/her own personal M4 or M16A3 or SAW that he purchased him/herself, he provides his/her own ammunition and would be responsible for his/her own marksmanship training.

  8409.  @Khalkara  Sorry, not making it up. The regular army was really, really small, the states had few soldiers.

  8438. @Wolverines 527  based on current performance, the Russians will lose 80-160 tanks a month. That's well above their current production rate, so we'll be seeing a lot of t62/72's being pulled out of storage to make up for the shortfall.

  8463.  @saucy743  Funny, but when Russia launched missiles to take out the SU-24's that were launching Storm Shadow missiles, the SU's had left long before the missiles arrived. As to the Ukrainian Navy, the last Ukrainian Navy ship was scuttled in port at the start of the war. These drone ships are the new Ukrainian Navy, and so far they've forced the bulk of the Russian Navy to move east, to get out of range. As far as lancet's, they range just as far as the Ukrainian drones do into Russian airspace.

An unknown number of League of Assassins members were killed by him in Nanda Parbat including "Ras Al Ghul", and more still in Gotham including Ras, Harvey Dent, Talia. Affleck's Batman is more brutal, but frankly I'd put it to his version being an older, more jaded version. His version of the Batman is one that's been fighting Gotham's monsters for over a decade. He's already lost one Robin, probably to the Joker if they followed canon. He's already halfway to the bitter reclusive Bruce Wayne from Batman Beyond.

And even then these EV's are 2nd cars and not primary vehicles. Heck you can't even use them for commercial deliveries because of the lack of range and purchase cost.

Option B is shoot the launcher or the missile during it's launch phase. This means moving an Aegis destroyer under the expected launch path and killing the missile as it launches from it's land base or killing the launch aircraft using a fighter.

So they can release only information that supports Trump's claims and bury anything that is counter to Trump's claims. It's why they put the Covid response under the VP's office.

So if Trump recorded tapes of himself and his friends while in the White House, yeah, those would not be government records, those would be private and he would get to keep them. But if those tapes were made between Trump and his friends as they plotted to violate federal and state election laws in order to steal the election and stay in power, well that falls under the criminal codes and the DOJ can get them via subpoena and search warrant issued by a DC court.

  8713.  @andrewday3206  Short answer, yes. That fan space meant larger fuselage from the cockpit all the way back to the exhaust. That means extra weight in a design arena were every extra pound counts. Extra weight means more fuel burned, means more fuel needed, means more weight.

And operating F-35's off the assault ships means offloading the helicopters, which means the Assault ship can't do it's job which is to bring helicopters to transport the Marines to the fight.

  8715.  @andrewday3206  1 In order to operate the F-35B you need supplies, spare parts, munitions, support equipment which will require space, and secure facilities which the assault ship does not carry when operating helicopters, so all that will displace the stuff used to operate the helicopters. 2. The Marines wanted the F-35 for CAS, In order to have a tactically useful impact you have to have numbers, 4 planes is not enough. To provide CAS for marines they need 12-24 planes. 3. For CAS, they also need an airborne FAC and that guy is in an F/A-18F on the big carrier.

Also look up why the USN bombed Lebanon with the sun in their face, hint political intervention. Same goes with target selection and ROE.

And this does not even factor in the needs of the massive transport ships that need to run 24hrs for weeks at a time. Think of it this way. Generating 100kWh of electricity uses 74.55kg of diesel, a 100kwh li-ion battery weighs 272kg. And you need about 6545 kg of battery per 2,000 tons of cargo per 50 miles of distance.

  8868. The metro in LA is a POS. To get from where my brother lives near Diamond Bar to his work in Burbank, he needs to take 2 busses and a train, then has to walk a half mile, total time 3 hours. He actually did this for a month. By car it's 90 minutes. By bicycle, forget it, he can't do that and not have to get to work, take a shower and put on a fresh set of clothes before starting his shift.

  8871. Just like they destroyed the HIMARS launchers and support vehicles as soon as they arrived in Ukraine? Just before the "destroyed" HIMARS launchers started raining rockets on their ammunition dumps wiping out weeks of munitions in a single night? Just a heads up, SAAB/Boeing are working on a cheap long range rocket for the HIMARS, it will cost less than the short unguided range rocket currently in use but will have a range of 100 miles and carry a guided 250lb bomb. the standard bomb will have GPS navigation allowing it to hit any fixed target, the optional guidance kit include anti-armor, self selecting targets and a 3rd option is an seeker that targets radio, radars and radar/radio jammers. Translation, the S-300/400/500 will need to be moved out of occupied Ukraine and moved to Russia. Since the project uses existing munitions that are readily available, expect to see deployment by spring or early march

  8883.  @miamiman24  The problem can be solved by taking the artillery from the units still in Russia that can't be deployed and transfering them to units already in Ukraine and the units that had been fighting around Kyiv. Then you obliterate the cities, villages that are in front of the Russian Army but allow the residents an avenue to escape to the west. This bogs down the roads that the Ukrainians need to use to get to the front and depopulates the area to be taken and reduces the need to garrison the place.
    1
  8884.  @dearmas9068  Those Russian designed tanks are fine while there is still a supply of spare parts and ammunition. But they Ukrainians can't buy spare parts and ammo from Russia now can they? The mid term and long term solution is to transition the Ukrainians to western kit as quickly as possible. That means identifying what they will need, (tanks, aircraft) setting up the logistics (spare parts, munitions, supplies), training the maintenance crews, then training the crews who will operate them. They should be doing that last month so that the Ukrainians can start fielding them by January next year.
    1
  8885.  @michaelotieno6524  They also got ammo, but it's old ammo. The Ukrainians still have a dwindling stockpile of spare parts and they can manufacture some and almost 1/2 of the tanks they inherited from the USSR were put in storage and can be used as a source of spare parts.

The reason I mentioned the radars being hit first is because once those are shut down (the EA-18G's can find them and give the location to a B-2 or F-35 for disposal), the PLA will not know what's or where the enemy is. Their coast watchers may not even be able to send a warning (see EA-18G).

Per Ukrainian experience, they need 3 times the number they have now to support the current troop levels. To support another 100,000 combat troops, they will need 300,000-400,000 support troops, so 480,000-600,000 troops just to get 120,000 combat troops, to overcome 40,000 Ukrainian combat troops.

  8937. @Gags  must be why the Russians ran out of gas while attempting to take Kyiv. Logistics is why Russia does not occupy Kyiv, Chernihiv or Sumy, Kherson and Dudchany. 75km. That's how far a Russian unit can be from its supply base and still receive daily supplies. Beyond that it's 1 day worth of supplies every 2 days. And looking at the unit tables, they only have 1/4 the trucks they need.

Obama's 1st year it spiked to $1,413b or 9.8% of GDP as Obama continued the recovery efforts that started under GWB. By Obama's last year it was back down to $585b or 3.1% of GDP. Under Trump the deficit has grown every year to just before the pandemic hit it was at $984b or 4.6% of GDP. Remember this is at a time when the economy was "booming" and we should have been reducing the deficit not increasing it. And now it's at $1,083b or 4.8%.

  9039.  @carlitos2k2  The Russians use to be 40 miles from Kyiv, they were actually on the highway west of Kyiv, cutting off the city from the supplies coming from Lviv. In the south, the Russians had reached Mykolaiv headed for Odessa. Here the Ukrainians held and the Russians diverted North, on the P02 headed for Kyiv. Then a funny thing happened, they literally ran out of gas and ammo as they could not deliver ammunition, food and fuel to their troops. In the north this let to a rapid withdrawal back across the border to Belarus and Russia of all units in the northern front from Kyiv to Sumi. In the south this led to the retreat to Kherson. So now, here we are, russia blew up the bridges they need to get to Odessa, the only way to get to the city is by ship which is no longer an option, so they are stuck having to fight to get to Dnipro and the 500km to Odessa.

In the counties which Trump won in 2016, the vote shifted to the Democratic Party by 6pts and the Clinton counties moved further into the Blues by 2pts. So it looks like it's swinging back to the D side. So you are right, Arizona does seem to be coming back to its senses.

A this time Turkey, aside from it's cheap drones is more of a liability than an asset. The US military, despite public statements do not trust the Turkish army in combat zones. We share classified information with Poland and even Finland that we don't with Turkey.

    1
  9112.  @baramis575  Because the 200k troops in the field are only getting 1/2 of their supplies. If they want to get them up to speed, they would need to take 100k of their new troops and assign them to support duties to just bring the supply deliveries to what is needed. That leaves you 200k and of that 2/3 will need to be support troops which means at most you get 66k new poorly trained combat troops. Ukraine now has 300k combatant troops and Russia needs 900k combatant troops which means they need to field 2,700k troops. Yeah so unless Russia can raise that many experienced troops, Russia will be fighting to keep a foothold in Crimea by this time next year cause by summer

  9113.  @isrial7  They need to bring the combatant troop levels to 260k to have a prayer of holding what they've gained. Otherwise the Ukrainians will blow through their lines again once they finish preparing the battlefield for the next offensive season. The Ukrainians will still push them out of the rest of Kharkiv and some of Luhansk and or probably Kershon north of the Dnipro River before the Spring thaw.

Meaning it's own military is not funded, staffed or equipped to the level it's supposed to have. Meaning if 2% means it should have 3 frigates, it only has 2 and those two are in need of replacement.

  9145. @zuveja  Since the start of the Russian winter offensive, the rate of visually confirmed Russian equipment losses has doubled. The Urainian losses have gone up but at 1/3 that of Russian losses. So the price that the Russians paying for every sq/km every block is much higher than what the Ukrainians are paying for it. And it's not even affecting the Ukrainian troop build-up as they are not committed to the fight.

The B-21 is smaller than the B-2, unless you cut fuel consumption by 1/3, or reduce bomb capacity to 2 bombs and fill up the rest with fuel, it's going to need tanker support. The USAF will base these the same as they do with the B-2's, launching them from the US mainland, hiting tankers as needed before and after the target. US to Crimea will need a minimum of 2 tankers depending on how much gas the tanker has.

While at Harvard he was a researcher for a Professor Lawrence Tribe (if you don't know who he is, google him), during the summers he worked as an associate at a lawyer's office in Chicago. And he graduated "Magna Cum Laude" at Harvard and did so without the benefit of rich parents. In comparison, the general view of Donald Trump in college among his classmates was "he went to school here??, " " or "can't say he made an impression.", and it seems that some of his teachers had an even lower opinion with at least one of them commenting "dumbest person he'd ever met" and another saying that "Trump thought he knew everything". And while Trump says that he was the highest ranked student at his schools there is no record to back that up, and the few that have surfaced indicates that he was notable for being without any academic accomplishment other than graduating.

  9286.  @liljackass6998  There is a semi official discrimination against Arabs and Palestinians hard coded into Israeli law that goes back to it's founding. You can pretend that it's not there but it's still there. Technically you don't have Jim Crow or Red lining, but in practical terms Israel does have both. The 2018 Israeli law declared Israel the nation-state of the Jewish people. Note Jewish people, no mention of the rest of the non-jewish people.
    1
  9287.  @liljackass6998  It's quite possible to have no official discriminatory laws but still have discrimination in effect. We had about 100 years of that in the USA. Similarly it happens in Israel, you just need to look up the economic stats for the various communities. They had rules as to where non-jews could live, and to some extent they still do and unofficially, a Palestinian trying to get a building permit can take months if not years but an israeli jew can get the same permit in weeks. That's been repeatedly documented. meanwhile the Israeli government can and does crack down on people who build extensions to their homes (you know the ones that they have been waiting to get a permit for) by demolishing the entire house.

The US only has to come up with 184k/month to keep Ukraine in artillery rounds.

To shoot at the Russian missiles, the Ukrainian SAM's fly northwards or East, away from Poland. S-300's don't make u turns to re-attack targets they missed. they don't have the energy to do that.

Between the House and the Senate you can control the funding of every government agency including the White House and set the government's agenda and priorities regardless of what the President wants. So focus on the House and Senate, that's where the battlefield is.

  9352.  @Padtedesco  I'm not talking infantry based air defense. Once you say medium range, you are into a SAM that's over 20 ft long and needs a truck to transport and move it, a radar truck to give guidance and a control cab separate from the radar truck to give it guidance. The Radar has to be leveled, oriented then the system has to map the terrain around it before it can be used. It has to be rock steady the entire time it's in use otherwise, bad guidance. And that radar alone is going to cost more than the AGM-88

And when they do return with a search warrant, they find them in 9 hours when you could not find them in 3 weeks. Oh btw, the US Supreme court just told Trump that he has no grounds for demanding that the documents taken from Mar-a-lago be returned to him because they belong to the US government NOT DONALD J TRUMP. That he can't stop the FBI from using the documents in their investigation. Seems that even Clarence Thomas isn't going to help him.

Members of said party are on record, in the press and in the House and Senate parroting Moscow's talking points.

In that the US did, it took them 20 years but at this point, all those responsible are either dead or at gizmo.
    1
  9441.  @shubhammundra5034  Actually, yes. The UN charter allows Ukraine to ask for and receive lethal military aid including combat personnel. The only way to stop the US from providing aid is to pass a UN security council resolution prohibiting it. To do that, the US would have to vote against itself. chances of that happening, about as good as Russia voting to condemn it's invasion of Ukraine.
    1
  9442. The War Powers Act give the President full authorization for military operations. He has a free hand for 60 days and another 30 days to withdraw unless authorized by Congress. So Biden can order military strikes against the Houthi's until 3/11/2024 then order the Navy to move to the Indian Ocean to refit and replenish at Diego Garcia before sending them back to the coast of northern Yemen to take up arms interdiction. Then on 4/12/2024 he can order the Navy to resume military operations against the Houthis. Also Congress in 2023 re-authorized the Global War on Terror. This means President Biden can continue operations until he feels that the threat from the Houthis is over.

  9443.  @kevinpreston5590  you forgot, to insert "yet" and that is what Biden has been able to do. For 5% of the US military budget, he has kept the war in Ukraine instead of in Poland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania where it will cost 40% of the US GDP, 100% of the US military budget and as much as 300,000 American lives

In battle the Taliban lasted less than a month before they ran for the hills or to Pakistan where the Pakistani's provided them with food, shelter and protection from US air strikes. They did not return as an effective force until after the US started withdrawing over a decade later.

  9454.  @silasnelson3116  No, From the start the US was trying to exit Afghanistan. They were there to kill Bin Laden. And once OBL was dealt with in 2011, staying was just not supportable and you'll notice after 2011 US troop levels went from 97,75 to 9,048 by 2015 and 7,000 in 2020 when Trump released the Taliban #2 from jail so he could sign the peace treaty. No, by 2015 we did what we came to do and we were leaving, the only question was who was if the lights would stay on after we left.

Use a better more secure mount, the barrel is moving off the gun mount when it is fired.

  9530. @syncopatedfeb4770  OK, The Samuel B Robert's was damaged, not sunk. It was repaired and served until it was decommissioned in 2015. The Stark was hit by an Iraqi missile not Iran, and it sailed back to it's home port under it's own power. It too was repaired and returned to the active fleet until it was decommissioned in 1999 and scrapped in 2006. So no, US ship have been sunk by Iran and no corvettes because the USN have not operated one since before the Korean War.

  9534.  @spacecore117  the Ukrainians are not engaging in dogfights period. To do that requires them to fly high enough that the Russian SAM radars can see them and shoot them long before they ever get in range of the Russian aircraft. Ukraine is an air to ground war. Almost all of the confirmed aircraft kills have been by SAM'S.
    1
  9535.  @LuvBorderCollies  Near as I can tell it would be a high risk proposition for the Russians to place it's SAM systems within 15-45km of the battlefields so that give a 13km wide band over the battlefield that are kinda S300 safe provided you fly 10m off the ground. AA guns, unless they are mobile would also be leery of getting too close for the same reason. Ukrainian drones targeting them for artillery or rocket strikes.

And the reason we know about the deaths is because the companies and the government have been keeping track of it and reporting it. As of this week, Pfizer has reported that it's vaccine has a 100% efficacy with 12yr olds and above, and the FDA will likely aprove it for use by next week. So expect that the covid vaccine will be mandatory for students in the fall.

Soon the Ukrainians will force the Russians to pull their supplies back to 400km from the troops, meaning what took a supply crew 4-8 hours to deliver a day's worth of ammunition, food and fuel will now take 18 hours. Russia's vaunted S-300/400 will be forced to move back to 300-400km away from the front, leaving the entire Russian front line open to direct air attacks.

Come to think of it, the Marines had an incident where the division HQ company, composed of less than a dozen LAV-25's with 25 mm cannons and Marine rifle platoons, were attacked by a Brigade size Iraqi unit composed of tanks, BMP's and infantry. After they came under fire, the Marine CO ordered his LAV's to charge the Iraqi tank battalion. What ensued was a melee with Marines on foot engaging the Iraqi tanks and BMP's with machine guns and LAW's and LAV's driving through the Iraqi formation shooting at every tank they came across, stopping only to reload. It was not long before the Marines found themselves chasing the Iraqi armor for over a mile as they retreated in disarray.

  9780.  @shooter7a  No, I'm saying you use a Philips head screw driver not a flat screw driver to turn a philips screw. F-16's make for cheap Air Superiority, but they can't operate at the altitudes they need to be at because that puts them where the S-300 class systems can shoot them. Down low they they are vulnerable to MANPADS and guns. At 20-200ft, the A-10 is less vulnerable. On top of this, the A-10 can carry a more useful war load. UkAF needs to be sending experienced MiG-29 and SU-27 pilots to the US for training by end of July. in order to have them ready when the Ukrainian Air Force transitions to F-16's or JAS-39E's in 8-16 months.
    1
  9781.  @shooter7a  Reason the Ukrainian's said no to the A-10 is because they've been asking for F-16's since March. We can't give them F-16's because they need nice clean runways, taxiways and parking areas and the only place that have all 3 are the bases that the Russians have already hit with their missiles. So sending F-16's would be a waste because they'd be destroyed before they could make an impact. Frankly the safest way for the Ukrainian Air Force to operate is to fly from road bases and park their planes in forests under an IR absorbing camo net.

  9796.  @Rob-vv5yn  The planes need to be at 100ft agl when they are about 30miles from the radars. How low depends on how close to the front the Russian crews or commander wants to put his precious radars. He has to balance effectiveness against the range of the Ukrainian HIMARS and other MLRS.

The Russian Air Force will cease operations over Ukraine and 60km east of the Ukrainian border after the the first screams of "ракеты!!" come over the radio followed by multiple distress beacons from the Russian pilots. Within the first 2 weeks S-300/400 radars one by one go dark. Then the dying starts as the Ukrainian and it's allied aviation roam freely over Ukraine . Putin will have a choice, accept defeat of Russian forces in detail, or withdraw them back to Russia before too many are lost, or burn the world around him rather than face his humiliation. Which will he be, a leader or just another petulant child?

  9835. They studied that and it turns out, no, the protests were not a major factor. At a protest you are outside where the virus is thinned out, mostly during the day, Most protesters wore masks and rarely stood next to same person for more than a few minutes. Most likely places to get the virus, the workplace, a meat packing plant, a warehouse, a party, picnic, frat party

  9837. If we use the study concerning incentives vs punishments as a means getting people to do things, researchers found that punishments are more effective.

As of this month, it seems to be down to about 100 and one model, the SU-27, their only long range type can't be replaced because there are no sources for the plane outside Russia.. The missiles they have are 20-30 years old and have as much as a 50% failure rate due to their age and crappy Russian/USSR manufacturing and Quality Control. They need fighter aircraft, aircraft that are plentiful, thus easy to find spare parts for, easy access to munitions and guidance or ECM pods. They need aircraft that can take down the Russian bombers that are launching hypersonic missiles into Ukraine.

  9967.  @AoDAzrael  The issue with the US F-16's is that they are all high time airframes that will require upgrades to bring them up to what they need to be able to deal with the Russian SU-35's and MiG-31's. They will need some way to be able to handle operating for extended periods (months not days) out of two lane roads with just a couple of trucks for maintenance and support. The F-16's can do this for short periods of time, but no one has operated them like this for months on end.

Most of that in the form of vehicles, weapons and munitions that the US was spending money to store and more money to scrap. The total amount that would have been provided if it had not been sent to Ukraine is $0.00. By sending these to Ukraine, the US saved money in the form of maintenance and scrapping costs that no longer have to be paid. That money is then moved to the procurement where the salaries of the workers are taxed and the economic activity of those workers generate more income and taxes.

  10064. They have more pilots than aircraft given that on a normal basis, squadrons have more pilots than aircraft, Ukraine had over 200 aircraft but less than 120-140 were flyable. So assuming they had 200 aircraft, they would have about 300 pilots. Now with just 120 flyable planes, assuming they had lost 20 aircraft, they would have 280 pilots but they only have enough planes for 150 pilots. That leaves 130 pilots without aircraft available to train. That works out having enough pilots to fly 86 airplanes

So you tell me, no new T-90's being put in storage, all new production going to the front and yet 110 T-90's pulled from storage in one year with 90 remaining. After those store T-90's are gone, all that's left will be the T-80's, T-72's and older tanks and whatever T-90's come off the production line and that production line is 110 tanks short of the losses

  10073.  @SalvatoreSausage  Sorry but it actually happened TheHill.com Trump, Putin talked at G20 without US translator, note-taker: report By Brett Samuels - 01/29/19 President Trump reportedly met late last year with Russian President Vladimir Putin without a translator or aide from his administration present. The Financial Times reported Tuesday that Trump sat with Putin on the sidelines of the Group of 20 (G-20) summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in late November after an evening event. Trump was joined by his wife Melania Trump, but there was no note-taker or translator from the U.S. at the meeting. Putin was reportedly accompanied by a translator, with all four at a table.

  10074.  @SalvatoreSausage  Aid to Ukraine started before Trump was president so your statement that when Putin and Trump met the aid did not exist is questionable.

Just a modified and reinforced Supersonic Single Person Escape Capsule. On ejection the capsule deploys metal drag vanes like those used to slow down bombs, until it is slow enough for the drag chute to open up then the main chute. at this point the pilot either sticks with the capsule it lands or it's low enough that the pilot can eject and descend on his own chute.

  10105.  @Siempre1978  A sortie is one take off and landing. The area of the "Special Military operation" Is as far east as 500 miles east of Kherson. US radar and surveilance planes have been tracking Russian planes taking off and approaching the Northern border and turning back without crossing over then landing (1 sortie), they've also monitored the same activity from aircraft orbiting over the Black Sea. The aircraft that fly over the FEBA do so at altitudes below 500 ft. The Russian fighter patrols (MIG-31's and SU-35's) stay high 40,000ft and above east of the FEBA.

As on judge ruled in the case of one of Trump's toadies, "overturning an election is not part of your job". If they wanted to, SCOTUS can take up the case, have oral arguments the next day and render their decision the next day, all in 4 days. That's what they did in Bush V Gore No, the MAGA wing of SCOTUS is putting it's finger on the scale in order to help Donald Trump. They intend to give Trump time, time to postpone the federal trial to after November 4, so that if he can win, he can have his AG fire the prosecutors, shut down the cases, give himself permanent immunity to the day he dies. If he fails to win, he'll declare that he is a candidate for the 2028 Presidential election and try to claim immunity again.

  10112. Because the body is heavier than it needs to be, to complicated than it needs to be. You can get the same torsional stiffness with less weight and cost. Ex The wheel well he mentioned, it's made out of 9 parts, each part will overlap with other parts which means more material and more weight. Compared to the same part if made by Toyota would be a single piece unit that would weigh less then the Tesla 9 pc unit and would actually be stiffer because there are no joints.

  10143. Depending on how you define "Energy Independence" that is either wrong, or partially right. 1 defined as we don't import energy, that is false. Trump did not give us Energy Independence because we continued to import energy throughout his entire administration. 2. Defined as "we generate more energy than we consume" partially right, but not because of Trump or anything he did or his policies. The trend towards energy independence started in 2006 when production started increasing and demand started dropping. Production surpassed consumption in 2019-2020 when Covid hit and demand for gas and diesel fell through the floor. Since 2021, demand has increased but so has energy production.

The reason DJT should not be using his personal smartphone is because it's not encrypted and it's not a secure phone.

According to the Army Times, "Mattis ... said announcing a lower U.S. troop number and setting a specific withdrawal date 'sends a message' to U.S. allies that it is not fully committed to the fight against the Taliban.” Mattis said, “Why does the U.S. government have to level the playing field for the enemy? We want to crush the enemy's hope to win through violence. Yet we have now given the enemy hope that if they hang on until our announced withdrawal date they can perhaps come back.

  10208.  @alancrane9762  Dude, Obama was President in 2015, it was his policy to withdraw from Afghanistan that Mattis was criticizing. And that hearing was just one link I found on just the first page of a google search. As for getting rid of the President. It takes the cooperation of two parties to do that and right now the Senate is run by Republicans who if they saw Trump shoot a man in cold blood in the middle of Times Square, would insist that it was not illegal for Trump to do so.

  10212.  @ragingmonk6080  And to this day, that reluctance to fund a the military, to fight outside Europe has been ingrained into the Germans. So the US should stop whining about Germany not spending 2% of it's gdp on defense. Let them spend it on roads and infrastructure, on free college, subsidized healthcare. ALL of that is defense related in that we will be using that infrastructure, the families of service people stationed there will benefit from the education system

  10213.  @ragingmonk6080 Yes, Germany has sent aid to Ukraine, but that was not without a lot of soul searching , angst and arms twisting. Remember, in January 2022, as Russian troops gathered on the borders of Ukraine, Germany offered helmets. Fast forward to 2023 Despite the increased funds and a steady supply of aid being sent to Ukraine, Germany has actually few new military equipment orders for it's own defense. Last year it announce that it would order a massive number of 18 new Leopard 2 tanks. A paltry number when one considers that Ukraine lost 300 tanks in a single year. And the famed German Bureaucracy has also managed to get in the way with the Finance Ministry asking the Army why it needs so many cannon rounds for it's tanks.

  10224.  @Percival5  Since the Russians have been hard pressed to hit Ukrainian Air Force while it was in it's dispersal fields, meantime the Ukrainians have been able to hit Russian helicopters and bombers while they were on the ground. Reason, by the time the Russians got the locations, put an attack together and launched it, the Ukrainians were already moved to a new temporary base. Heck at one point the handful of SU-24's had lifted off and moved between the time that Russian bombers got in the air and they reached their launch points. Russian S-400's radars have been lost to rockets and missiles they were supposed to intercept. It's tank and armor corps have proven inadequate as they lose them at 2-3 times the rate the Russians are able to kill Ukrainian armor. Right now, Russia's main advantage, is a larger population and with it more bodies
    1
  10225.  @mrobocop1666  No, the radars can see stealth aircraft coming but they have a hard time actually targeting them because the stealth features are designed to counter the tracking and guidance radars which. That's why the SA2's EW radar could see the F-117 at 14 miles but the missile's guidance radar did not see it until 10 miles. So while the S-300/400 might be get a warning of an F-35 at 50 or even 75 miles, it's guidance radar can't track it until 20-30 miles.

In sequence, North Korea invaded, SK US and allies were pushed south to Pusan. US lands troops behind NK troops at Inchon, with US, SK, UN troops pushing north, NK troops were forced to retreat back to NK giving up all gains and UN troops continue attacking north, pushing the NK to the Yalu River. Chinese troops enter the fray, and US and UN troops are forced south and Seoul falls again. US and UN forces re-take Seoul for the 4th time and the battle lines stabilize more or less along the same lines as before the NK invaded.

The cops were armed, and they were there 3 minutes in, only one tried to do his job, the other 10 retreated to the hallway. These cops knew what they had to do, they had the training, they know the protocol, they did nothing. You say the cops that came later were supposed to be informed, well they were never told by the cops standing in the hallway that there were kids still in the rooms, the police chief did not tell them, no one told the BP tactical team that arrived. they stood there, doing nothing. Your well trained well armed police officers, the people we are supposed to trust to protect us from mass shooters, did nothing. Today a single young man armed with a pistol, with a concealed carry permit, stopped a mass shooter. He got his friend out of the way and to safety, and without hesitation shot a man who was armed with a rifles and in doing so stopped a mass shooting.

Much like during early during WW2 when USS Washington mounted 20 20mm cannons and 12 .50cals, by 1943 it had 64 20mm cannons and by 1945 it increased to 75 20mm cannon.

  10430.  @gottfriedheumesser1994  A USAF Instructor pilot (F-16) did a tour with the German MiG-29 squadron. After reading the manual and a ride in the back seat of the MIG, he flew his solo the next day, was offered to fly lead of a 4 ship the next day (declined and flew #4 instead) From there he flew the MiG-29 almost every day. A plane is a plane is a plane. It's the instrumentation and switchology that get people. So as long as the pilots entering the training pipeline can read english, they'll be fine. Additionally you can screen for the pilots for those who can pick up quickly.

  10432.  @gottfriedheumesser1994  Well when the USAF got their MiG-21's and MiG-23's, they had no flight manuals, the instruments were in Russian. And when they started flying them almost every day, they had no repair or maintenance manuals or spare parts. Oh and no pilots or maintenance crews who could read Russian.
    1
  10433.  @gottfriedheumesser1994  The Germans phased out the MiG-29's because of lack of spare parts and missiles. The incompatible electronics did not help. The Germans were using them as Red Air. They got NATO radios and Navigation instruments. Everything else was stock MIG-29A.

  10434.  @gottfriedheumesser1994  Have Idea was a secret program, limited options. Also yes, they flew them every day. first to test and explore their limits and later to expose the US pilots to them, how they looked in the air, how they performed in direct comparison to their aircraft under the Constant Peg program. Spare parts were a challenge, they either had to salvage parts from other non-flight capable MiG's, source a similar part from western sources or buy one on the black market

  10438.  @prodigalsoniv48  the F-35 is a decade behind schedule, and because the USAF did not buy new airframes to replace the aging A-10, F-15 and 16's there were no pilot slots for new pilots. That resulted in pilots leaving the service or enter the flying ranks late and struggling just to get enough flight hours to stay current. Not to mention millions in extra costs to keep aging airframes flight worthy. As to the numbers, the USAF has about 450 F-35A about 1/2 are combat coded and of that almost 1/2 are down for something. The USAF has under 120 F-22 and 32 of those are not combat ready and are only usable for pilot and maintenance training. Oh and btw, F-35 pilot hours are about 3 hours from being below NATO minimum flight hours. So the pilots are almost at that point where they fly enough just to retain what they've learned but not enough where they learn new skills and perfect already learned skills because the USAF's priority is procurement not operations and training.

At that point only the SEAD birds and A-10's flew below 10,000ft. Helicopters can fly at 10ft but more often it's 100ft or higher cause trees and buildings.

So they took their older battleships and cruisers mounted as many anti aircraft guns they could. The Iowa class for example had 80 × 40 mm (1.6 in) AA guns, 49 × 20 mm (0.79 in) AA guns along with countless .50cal machine guns mounted on the railings.

No M1 tanks rolling across Ukraine. Those are Ukrainians who chased the vaunted 4th Guards Tank Division of the 1st Guards Army out of the Kharkiv front causing them to leave their a large portion of their ammunition and 90 or so T-80's behind. Many of which the Ukrainians promptly started up and drove off in. Heck the Ukrainian Farmer's battalion even got into the act, with one of them towing away several T-80U's.

That included potentially providing tanks and fighter aircraft as well as training crews and support personel. So Russia can go pound sand on that front as well.

Almost all the advanced guided missiles the Russians use require microprocessors from France and Europe, without those chips, no new missiles so it's been trying to get the Chinese to build them. Problem for China is if it does, it's going to be committing copyright theft on a massive scale. To avoid that would require a reverse engineering program that would take at least a year.

In FY 2020, he voted against giving Ukraine $115 million via the FMF and $256.7 million via the USAI. In FY 2021, Johnson was one of six senators to vote against giving Ukraine $115 million in FMF financing and $275 million for the USAI. Ron Johnson has been a conduit for Russian disinformation since 2014 Johnson has repeatedly used Andrii Telizhenko, former Ukrainian diplomatic aide; reportedly identified by the FBI as a conduit for Russian disinformation to damage Biden in the 2020 election, as a source for his information and has pushed his theories

  10747.  @Stefan-st  and? All that statement says is that the Excalibur is 6% more accurate than an unguided 155mm round which when used in an M777 has a CEP of 166-47m sy s range of 25km. Other air delivered munitions have secondary guidance and their accuracy is only mildly effected. An example of which was recently demonstrated when 2 S400 launchers, it's control cab and radar were taken out by multiple HIMARS rockets in a single strike. Those rockets made it past the GPS jammers and multiple defending Air Defense systems to hit the targeted S400 site
    1
  10748.  @Stefan-st  100% means the bomb hits inside the weapon's CEP, in the case of Excalibur it's will hit inside 4m circle 50% of the time. An unguided 155mm has a CEP of 50-200m. The 155mm artillery shell has a lethal blast radius is 50-150m

But if he lies in court, before not one but 3 appeals court judges who have access to the testimony of people who were working for Trump while he was president, and documentation stating that Trump did not declassify those documents. Well he's goose is cooked and any testimony he makes in court from that point on will be judged as probably being a lie.

By the time they finally take the town, it may have cost them so much in men that they will not have enough to properly wage a summer offensive and give the Ukrainians what they need to launch another counter offensive that will re-claim more land than they've lost since October.

Frankly I'd rather they purchase JAS-39E/F and build them under license in the US or Poland but that would take a year or more before the 1st one is available, so F-16's it is.

Close Air Support is being moved to the F-16 squadrons, much like P-51's took over CAS during the Korean War because the USAF had retired all it's dedicated CAS aircraft. The US Army intends to use it's own Drones and helicopters for CAS and does not expect the F-35.

  10858. @gort8203  B-52's have returned to their bases with full bomb bays during a day when F-16's and A-10 were flying 2 and 3 sorties and returning each sortie with empty pylon and cannon drums. Reason, you don't bomb from above FL 15 when clouds are below you obstructing LOS or when the targets inside the bombs miss radius. A-10's, F-16's and even F-15E drivers however will drop down to as low as 500ft, and in the high valleys of Afghanistan, A-10's got a rep for turning inside the valley, below the clouds, fighting until they ran out of ammo and ordnance. We know this from official reports and the commendation letters issued to the various crews.

  10859.  @gort8203  As far as CAS always being an F-16 mission, not really, it was added on as A-7 and F-105 Squadrons transitioned to F-16's. Many ANG squadrons stayed mostly A2A as they transitioned from their F-104 and 106's.

They never have been from the beginning of our country, and they are not now. As a matter of fact our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.” Paul Weyrich one of the founding fathers of the modern Conservative Republican movement. It is perfectly constitutional for a Republican-controlled legislature to make partisan districting decisions, even if there are incidental effects on minority voters who support Democratic candidates.

  10909.  @nt78stonewobble  Most of that is due to poor training from the US Army. Going back to when female nurses and female recruits were found to have more foot, ankle injuries. Turned out it was due to the Army issuing women, mens boots sized small. The army eventually issued proper combat boots sized for women instead of the mens boots and slippery no traction boots and the ankle injuries fell to normal. Foot injuries were reduced when they reducing the stride distance to take into account the women's height and the foot and heel fractures fell. Think training and living like top level athletes. The USAF is coming to that realization and is working on finding a way instilling proper nutrition and lifestyles among pilots. Things as simple as what you drink or don't drink before a flight. Proper sleep and exercise, staying hydrated. These effect how pilots perform in high g high stress combat after a 4 hour flight.

  10948.  @gdiwolverinemale4th  Pilot's skill has a say in determining if he/she can evade the missile (yes, you can evade missiles, they are not magic "I win" weapons), how well you can use the terrain to mask themselves, how they employ their own weapons. That has not changed since Manfred von Richthofen told his pilots, "The quality of the box matters little. Success depends upon the man who sits in it".

  10949. @gdiwolverinemale4th  that's not from watching DCS. The fact that the effective range of the inbound missile changes depending on your direction of travel should tell you that math, angles, line of sight, drag all have a say. The pilot's skill in using that and his aircraft can determine the outcome.

  10995. Just a small window from the Doctors office. When dealing with a traditional medicare patient (that's what the single system is going to use), I need to check for the patient's eligibility status. To do this I use my computer, log in into the medicare web portal, enter the patient's name, Date of birth and ID number and I get a detailed report. To do the same with a private insurance, I have to do the same, only I may or may not have access to that insurance company. Each company has it's own web site but I might not have access to that site. If I don''t I have to make phone calls. That just added 5-10 minutes to my workday. Now does the insurance require pre-authorization? again 5-10 minutes How do we bill, with medicare we bill electronically, we can do the same with most private insurance but not all, some require us to send the charges on paper by fax along with the supporting medical notes, another 10-15 minutes. With medicare I know if billing I sent is correct in 48 hrs, and get paid inside 15 days. With a paper bill I may never know if they get the claim and when I get paid, to do that I have to call, so add another 10-15 minutes of calling 3 months after the original billing. So to summarize, It took me 10 minutes of work to bill one Medicare patient and 5 minutes to find out if we are getting paid. It can take me 10-50 minutes and maybe an envelope, stamps, a print run to send out a paper claim and 3 months later another 15 minutes to find out if we actually got paid. So which cost more, 15 minutes of staff time or 65 minutes of staff time? Now think, that's happening on the insurance side too. Yeah single payer costs the doctor a lot less money and that saving gets passed on to the patient.

  11000. In order to fight in formation, maneuver in formation requires a fair degree of training otherwise you fall over each other. And even more training is required in order to do this while in combat. Also if the death of 400 soldiers is the death of 1/3 of their male citizenry this would be a loss that few countries can absorb. The USA at the height of WW2 did not have more than 9% of it's population serving in the military. If like Sparta the US had lost 1/3 of it's citizens it too would fall as that means every single person in the active military would be dead.

  11019.  @MrZlocktar  The Russians do have those bombs. Only problem with those bombs, is to used them, the plane carrying them has to fly above 15,000 and within 25 miles of the thing they are trying to hit. And you know what's within 30-70 miles and can hit planes a 15,000ft?? hint, big rocket with a guidance system that go faster than the plane. That's assuming they can reach 25 miles. Unlike the US which use low drag bombs for it's glide bombs, the Russians are using large draggy bombs with ridges or mating surfaces that are 90 deg to the wind that act like drag vanes in the wrong place ( they are in front and again near the back in front of the fins) which slow down the bomb and reduce the range, not to mention if carried outside the plane will keep the plane from reaching Mach 1.
    1
  11020. @MrZlocktar  10,000m is above 30,000ft. The reason for that height is to get range. Glide bombs need speed and altitude. Looking at the bombs they are using. The Russian Glide bomb kit is being strapped into old high drag bombs. Not the slicks like the US and NATO use.

Every drone unit has 3 or more in their vehicle and a steady stream has to be built every day. RUSI estimates that Ukraine lose about 10.000 drones every month. The AFU have lost 18 SU-25's since Feb 24 2022 or roughly 1 plane every 40 days vs 13,000 drones similar 40 day period.

Which is why Poland sent almost 1/2 of it's entire T-72's inventory and convoys of ammo, artillery, ATGM's to Ukraine. It's why Poland is buying ammo from Bulgaria and drop shipping them to the Ukrainian front line units. It's why a number of Polish "tourists" have gone to Ukraine to see the "sights".

  11058.  @klardfarkus3891  That tactic is a recent shift, not one that is consistent across the field. It's also munition intensive and it requires large volumes of artillery rounds and propellant to be forward deployed. A fact that is resulting in Russian munitions depots getting blown up by Ukrainian artillery and rocket batteries. This can be an issue because each lost depot represents multiple days of munitions for multiple artillery units being lost in a single strike.

If you want more accuracy, you need to start using GPS or other guidance which require the ability to receive data from external sources. At Mach 5 and above the missile loses the ability to send or receive signals. no signals, no guidance.

He needs to pick his targets wisely, with an eye of avoiding losing his army.

All of the limitations had more to do with restrictions imposed by the President with the goal of waging the war while keeping the support of congress and keeping the domestic critics at bay.

  11117.  @zippydoo9533  remember the surge in covid hospitalizations and deaths in late December and January? That was caused by Americans ignoring the covid orders and traveling to families during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanksgiving + 10-14 days hospitalizations start climbing and continued to climb til mid January. That fact is well known. As far as protests are concerned, as long as they are outdoors and people keep moving (walking from point a to point b 5-15 miles away, and they wear masks, it's fairly safe. If the demonstration is indoors and they sit in one place for 15min and don't wear masks, then you've got a super spreader event, think that party that Trump held for his newest judge. That had more people getting infected than any 24hr outdoors match did. As for the border crossing, Trump created a catch 22, they could only apply for refuge at designated border crossing and then he stopped processing the applications and closed the designated border crossings, then stopped funding the programs that were geared at relieving the economic pressures that were causing the migration. So the migrants started piling up in refugee camps in Mexico but you did not care, out of sight means it was not happening. At least now we can vaccinate them and cut down on the backlogged cases.

Tesla does not support the Original Tesla Roadster, you can't get a new battery for it from Tesla, It's software is not supported. None of the other manufacturers are providing more than the basic support and only if the parts are still in stock or in use by the newer cars. With the move in the US to the Tesla charging standard, most of the cars made before 2023 are not going to be able to use public chargers unless the manufacturer provides an approved adaptor as a number of charging companies have said that they will not accept 3rd party adapters.

When Ukraine asked for tanks, Poland put 1/2 of it's tank army on transports and sent them. So, you think Poland will stop weapons and munitions intended to kill Russians?

    1
  11171.  @srelma  use which ever system you are comfortable with. regardless, if a horse can or human can walk across that field, so can an M1A2. So the weight of the M1A2 is not an issue when driving on a road or a field. Where the weight matters is when it's being transported (plane, truck, rail) or when it's crossing a bridge.
    1
  11172.  @rosshilton  a standing horse has a ground pressure 75psi, average 6ft tall human has a ground pressure of 16psi. The M1A2, the heaviest of the series is 15+ PSI, less than a horse, less than you standing in the same field.
    1
  11173.  @rosshilton  My foot is higher than the ground so it will get more pressure. the weight of the tank is distributed by the tracks, think human with snow shoes. A human in boots, can't walk on snow, put him in snow shoes however.

  11212. So unless that Austrailian Volunteer is working in the finance dept, he's just making a wild ass guess. I racall a while back there were claims that the HIMARS that were being sent were being sold on the black market. 38 HIMARS Launchers were sent, 38 are still operational, so exactly what HIMARS were sold on the black market? The claims of Ukrainian corruption is real, the solution to that is to build safeguards to reduce it to a minimum. That Ukrainian government is sacking corrupt individual should be applauded rather than be criticized. In the midst of a war, they are choosing to take the hit and remove them rather than pretend that no corruption exists

The X52 series has this stupid spring and collar system that becomes draggy and makes for rough control inputs over time so I'd find something else, but the throttle quadrant, the X-52 and X-56 are good. Get a CH fighterstick for the joystick, it will feel really familiar to you, it's the cheapest good and rugged joystick I've found and I've had mine since 2006. The CH stick, just open it up and put silicone grease on the moving parts where they rub against something and after that will last you well, like I said 2006 and going. Pair it with X56 throttle quadrant, it has a twin throttle, handy for multi engines and if you are flying a single, can be used for something else. The total should come out to 200-300USD for the pair. Just add pedals or bind the rudder to one of the rotaries.

You need to destroy the same bridge every other week or so, otherwise the train will be using that newly repaired bridge in a week or two.

So when you start counting the vote, the first ones you count are the in person votes and oh look Trump is ahead because his supporters mostly voted in person. Then later in the day you start counting the mail in ballots, and oh look most of them are for Biden because most of Biden's supporters voted by mail. This is further exacerbated by the fact that most of them are in larger, more heavily populated areas which take longer to count than the less populated Trump leaning counties.

It's to distract from the 1/6 investigation, the investigation to Trump's effort to subvert the election results in Arizona and the other 5 states, the investigation into the bogus electors, the NY AG's investigation into his company.

  11398.  @haaggus  Yes and no. Right now the Russians are losing equipment faster than the Ukrainians, faster than they can manufacture them, in fact, they may have to build new factories to be able to get the chips needed for their missiles, and post 1955 tanks and armor. Meanwhile the Ukrainians are losing equipment at a rate of 1 per 3 - 5 Russian tanks/armor and have a supply coming in that is about equal to Russia's pre war production. So Russia is going to be fielding older and older equipment. In a month maybe two, Russia's ability to launch raids into Ukraine will be reduced to just random missile attacks as the Ukrainian Air Defense net becomes denser, harder to penetrate. Ukraine's losses will be further reduced as older Russian tank and armor designs are replaced by newer and more numerous NATO gear. Heck the Black Sea Fleet might actually cease to exist or be forced to withdraw east out of the combat area as f Ukraine's anti-ship missile batteries become denser.

The Koreans and PLA pushed south again before being pushed back north of the 38th again. The current border is essentially where the battle lines were at the end of that war.

  11429. Short answer Trump " No Obstruction" Mueller "We did not say that", and points to Volume II of the report which gives 10 instances where Trump committed Obstruction. More detailed answer You are confusing the job of a prosecutor with that of the trial. It's at trial where you need to prove guilt and you presume innocence. An investigator and the prosecutor do not enter into the case assuming you are innocent. If they think that a crime took place they will assume that everyone is a possible suspect. So they''ll think you are probably guilty and will look for evidence that will support that. Now if they find evidence that proves innocence, they'll use that to eliminate you from the suspect list In this case, despite orders and public and private pressure to state that Donald Trump did not commit obstruction (No Collusion, No Obstruction), they could not find evidence that they could with confidence say "Donald Trump did not commit Obstruction". Instead they found that at every point in the investigation, Donald Trump was engaged in Obstruction. From trying to prevent the investigation from even starting, trying to put Pro-Trump people in charge of running the Investigation, trying limiting the scope of the investigation, trying to prevent people from cooperating with the investigators, trying to control and guide the testimonies of witnesses, trying to get people to fire the Special Counsel and finally putting in a new AG to shut down the investigation.

  11440. 25 for now, the USAF requested authorization to retire 120 F-16's from the USAF active squadrons. Some of these, (12-24) will probably be picked up by the US Navy and the rest will go into storage and made available for donations.
    1
  11441. @Butmunch666  The USAF is procuring 48 F-35A per year and LM can build 156 per year and it's order book is for 180 a year. So that hints at the pool of available aircraft in the coming year/s. Oh and that's double what Ukraine lost in 2022, and 25 times more than what they lost in 2023.
    1
  11442. @Butmunch666  Honestly in peacetime, it takes an experienced fast jet pilot about 3 months to transition from one aircraft type to the next. War Time, you can shorten that to 5-6 weeks. I'd send the pilots 3-4 months early to train on the type months before the jets become available. That way, when the planes are available, they can just go to pick up the planes, do their check flights and ferry the planes to Ukraine. Facilities can be built ahead of time, as can support equipment. I'd use palletized cargo containers to create a mobile base and support facility. That way the entire base can be moved in the time that an air strike leaves the ground in Russia and be gone by the time missiles arrive.

  11487. @Dee Bone You know that that claim was fact checked when Trump first started flapping his mouth about it and it's 150billion and he got 4 Pinocchios for lack of accuracy also known as a liar liar pants on fire rating. It was Iran's money not ours. It was also 35 billion and again their money in bank accounts in China and the EU. We did send them cash but not "billions" and is was for money we actually owed Iran for the military goods (Kidd class destroyers, F-16's and F-14's) that Iran had purchased and paid up front but were never delivered.
    1
  11488. @Dee Bone 37 years is a long time to not return the money. Also Iran was in court with a claim against the US for return of the money and from all appearances the Judge was going to order the US to return the money plus 35 years of interest and a penalty. Giving Iran the money was a means to avoid that.

  11489. @Dee Bone Try reading the article. In the article you cite, only 450 million USD in foreign currency was actually delivered by plane. From the article you cited "The $1.7 billion was the settlement of a decades-old arbitration claim between the U.S. and Iran. An initial $400 million of euros, Swiss francs and other foreign currency was delivered on pallets Jan. 17, the same day Tehran agreed to release four American prisoners."

  11491. @Dee Bone Correct, "to not violate US Regs" the Obama Administration did what they were required to do according to US laws while seeking to minimize the costs that the US would have to pay if the court case concluded the way the judge and their legal counsel was telling them it was going to go.

Maybe you should go back to your history books, of the men who stood at the hot gates, of the men who fought at Oriskany, Camden, Bunker Hill, the Alamo, Antietam, Gettysburg, Omaha Beach and Bastogne. Now ask yourself, "what is wrong with me? How can a comedian understand more about courage and love of country than me?"

The damage was found and the Ukrainians patched it up and the launcher was re-loaded and online 30 minutes later. The Americans inspected the damage and the repair and sent a replacement part and the Ukrainians swapped out the part. After the "destruction" of the battery, it has been in battle multiple times since then. Since then the Russians have stopped targeting the battery directly and targeting targets that are outside the battery's coverage.

Not too long ago, Trump had the DOJ change how it views foreign contributions to federal officials to say that it's ok for a federal official to receive money from a foreign government as long as it flows through his for profit corporation. This was on the heels of reports that the Saudi's and other countries had been renting hundreds of rooms at Trump properties even though they often did not even use them.

  11531.  @billysouth4698  Yeah, but we're not turning the A-10's into trainers, the USAF finally got Congress to allow it to reduce A-10 numbers and it will jump at the chance to kill a program that they've been trying to kill since the 1980's

  11532. The answer to the claim that Donald Trump got the NK to stop testing and launching missiles is, "The North Korean's completed their missile launch tests" This pause is not the longest pause. The longest one was when they switched from testing medium range launch vehicles to longer ranged launch vehicles The last batch of tests confirmed that their launch platforms could deliver a warhead as far as Washington DC and they are reliable enough that enough of them can get off the launch pads to cause significant damage. They stopped exploding warheads because they've already validated their design. They shut down that testing facility because a previous test had damaged the tunnel so much it was no longer usable. They've now moved on to the warhead miniaturization phase which it seems is being carried out at a new facility.

When Vehicles and munitions we sent were not showing up in Kherson, the cry went up, see, the Ukrainians are stealing the aid, it's not where it needs to be. Turned out, the Ukrainians were setting it aside to equip the force that tore through Kharkiv that took back 8 months of Russian gains in 1 month.

Then move the documents and hide them from their own lawyers so that when they FBI show up with a court order for the documents, the lawyer can say that all of the documents have been turned over.

Or more recently, the stolen cellphones flowing from Ukraine into Belarus then moving to Russia, (idiots forgot to turn off the GPS tracking feature on the cellphones), or Russian soldiers who after fighting for a month on the front line suddenly sending used TV's and electronics by mail from Belarus.

    1
  11621.  @randomdude2832  It really depends on the training tempo. If you have a pilot flying 2 times a day (1.5hr training flights), 5 days/week, with each hop maximizing the training by having each flight include navigation a2a/a2g, low level flying. You will get really good, really fast.

  11740. @alexisborden3191  hence they require video or corroboration, and in the case of A-10's during DS, their claims are backed up by the FAC in the OA-10 or F/A-18D who call out the targets, assess the results of the attack in real time as they have a visual on both the target and the A-10.

  11741. @dexterplameras3249  problem was because the F-111 flew at night, and only saw through the flir, they sometimes bombed dead tanks. This issue would remain a problem for more than a decade after desert storm when the post war analysis of the Kosovo bombing campaign found that less than 1/3 of the tanks "destroyed" using smart bombs were actually destroyed, or even tanks. 2/3 were plywood with a kerosene heater or previously damaged/knocked out armor.

The operators program the engagement parameters, they filter out what they don't want it to shoot at, to focus only on specific target profiles. When the radar detects a probable target the operator interrogates it and selects a target. The Patriot automatically calculates an intercept solution, decides how many missiles are needed to achieve a 90% PK and when to launch them, and launches them on it's own.

  11867. Missiles at low altitude also are slower and have less effective range due to said denser air. Also the MANPADS operator has a smaller window to pick up his missile, cool the seeker head/fire up the tracking system (you can't keep the missile live it's battery and the coolant only lasts a few minutes), then find the airplane, lock him up, get a good track and launch.

  11868.  @SgtBeltfed  The best analogy is watching a freeway from a building 1/4 mile from the freeway, then compare that to if you sat in the emergency lane of the freeway as the cars go by at 80mph. easy to do you MANPADS routine when you are a quarter mile away, not so easy when they are screaming past you at tree top level, the window is just that small, and it's not like you can sit on an open field or on top of a hill waiting for the planes where anyone with a rifle can put a bullet through your head. Most of the time, they'll be under trees with a small engagement window. It's why even in here most MANPADS miss or fail to track.

  11888.  @Jeropa  Last time the US gave out lend lease, it gave a 90% discount for the equipment that was used or retained after the war. The equipment we have sent and what's in the pipeline with exception some new kit, are all fully paid for decades ago and costs the US $0, only the shipping cost but even that is offset by the storage cost savings. Also note that the terms of the EU aid renders it essentially free as the EU Nations will be picking up the tab. Post war, will come the rebuilding phase and the EU and the US will be pouring even more money into Ukraine to build it into a self sustaining EU nation as a giant FU to Putin and Russia as Russia struggles to cope with the loss of 50% of it's revenue.

Start with Russian claims that they've destroyed HIMARS, in fact if you follow their claims, they've destroyed every single HIMARS launcher that was ever sent to Ukraine at least twice. Fact is we have a very accurate idea of what the Ukrainians started off with and what they've received. Because of Oryx and others, we also have an accurate baseline of what has been lost.

Another lost consciousness after rioters used a metal barrier to push her into stairs as they tried to reach the Capitol steps during the assault on Jan. 6. About 140 officers — 73 from the Capitol Police and 65 from the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington — were injured, the departments have said. They ranged from bruises and lacerations to more serious damage such as concussions, rib fractures, burns and even a mild heart attack. I will keep my personal response to myself at this time as that would be in extreme violation of YT's guidelines as it involve old English treatment of traitors.

    1
  11949. @Johnny English  the Ukrainians have dispersed their aircraft away from their airbase. According to RUSI, they dispersed their flyable aircraft days before the first missiles hit their bases, and they've stayed that way since. All flying within s300 range is done below 300ft to 100ft.
    1
  11950.  @johnnyenglish583  ther Ukrainians are not operating out of their airbase. They've been flying out of highways and roads. It's why people keep bringing up Gripen, as that's the kind of environment the plane was designed for.
    1
  11951.  @johnnyenglish583  MiG-29's and Su-25, Su-27 family are all designed to operate out of rough airfields, Think grass or dirt field with crushed gravel to level out the low spots and a perforated steel mat. Maintenance is done on any flat surface that A. handle the weight of the jet B. Room for the jet and support truck. Deep level maintenance is an issue but as long as can take the part off the jet to repair it, you can do that anywhere or if you need a more fixed facility, a roadside garage or converted cargo container under a camo net works fine.
    1
  11952.  @johnnyenglish583  Nope, no clue. Only the Harrier (british design) and the A-10 (USAF has been trying to kill it since they were forced to buy it) were designed with the idea of operating away from the nice concrete air bases with their manicured lawns.

  11975. Just a note. Many of the states that have a balanced budget or a surplus, are states that use Federal Funds to make up their budget shortfall to balance their budgets and to pay for roads, infrastructure and other state programs that they intentionally refuse to pay for with state funds. Illinois has one of the highest tax burdens but it receives less per capita from the federal government than Alaska or Louisiana where federal funds make up 1/2 of the state's revenue. Alaska sent $1.09 to the Feds for every Fed dollar it received. Illinois sent $5.88 per Fed dollar. So if you see a road or other infrastructure in Alaska, know that almost 35% is paid for by the Feds and in California it's 14.5%

That those same rules be applied to all Eastern European states that joined NATO post 1991. That NATO and the US would be prohibited from stationing troops in any state that joined NATO or the EU after 1991.

I'm proud to have worked with senior members of the Armed Services Committee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee, people like Senators Cardin, Wicker, Shaheen, Graham, Blumenthal, Sullivan, and Hassan on this legislation, which will give the Administration, give President Biden more flexibility and more efficiency when it comes to being that arsenal of democracy for Ukraine. As it stands today, the President of the United States has a menu of options to support our friends and allies in times of conflict. In some cases, like the loan of equipment, the United States could eventually retain end use. In others, this would make clear we would support grants or emergency aid where we would not recover the funding or assets sent to our allies.”

  12008.  @macro1391  problem with the A-10 is that the Ukrainians need multi-role planes. Planes that can do air to air intercepts against missiles and Mach 2 jets as well as ground attack.

  12009.  @macro1391  New planes would supplement the GBAD. because many of these sites don't move, they are getting hit by missiles or simply bypassed. Fighters however can move to wherever the threat is, providing gap coverage.

  12011. @chewyspaghettypubg6260 It's not about people assuming the black community will vote for the Democrat, it's the historic fact that since the 60's black people vote for the Democrats. 90-95% of the black community votes for the Democratic candidate. meanwhile 3/5 of white voters in the state vote Republicans. The Republicans know this and they draw the districts so that only one county will be won by the democrats instead of the 3-4 of 6 of the districts.

  12014.  @mauriciomdea  That's not the reason they are using the simulator for. Typically you actually fly the plane as part of routine training. This is to keep you familiar with the plane and how it feels when you are actually on a mission. Simulator's can't simulate gravity, g forces and don't induce fear in the pilot. So pilots need about 150 flight hours of actual flying time every year just to maintain their training, their qualifications. Well instead of actual air time, they intend to use simulators instead of actual flying in order to reduce the costs of operating the F-35

Of course that does not apply to Obama because after all, there is a vote coming in a year and the winner of that election deserves to have his choice. Funny when Trump was up for election it was imperative that he be allowed to appoint his choice even though the election was less than a year away and because the Senate and the President were of the same party.

Time and availability of secure and extensive training areas is why training should be done at NAS Fallon or Tonopah, not in Europe. Not sure how to speed up the training for the aircraft mechanics other than to use a modified Swedish model of 2 certified mechanics and 8 trainees and those trainees become the lead mechanics of their own 5 person team.

  12105.  @Rob-vv5yn  The normal staffing is 1.5 to 2 pilots per plane, if you look up the Ukrainian Air Force staffing levels, as the number of planes dropped to 200, the number of pilots stayed at what they were when they had 400 planes. And at peak activity the Ukrainian AF were flying 3 sorties per day, all of it on the deck. This means they had 2-3 pilots flying the same plane

  12117. One way to get the Ukrainian goods through is to sink the Black Sea Fleet, send 10-20 of sea-drones out at night into the area up to 300 km from shore to find and attack the Russian black sea fleet. These boats are low enough to the water that they don't show up on radar until 10-15 miles from the ship. If the Russians lose 2-3 ships the remaining ships will pull back beyond the horizon, beyond 300km, they know how far out these drones can go, they know they can reach as far as the Crimean Bridge. Once they are pushed back, they can't enforce a blockade anymore. Part 2 is to push to get at least 4 more Patriot batteries as well as IRIS-T and Radar guided guns to deal with the missiles.

He knows exactly how much wealth he has but can't actually come up with proof of it. And we are finding that the value of any of his properties depends on how much he needs it to be.

  12186.  @LRRPFco52  The Viggen uses a commercial air liner motor with an afterburner grafted to the rear and was prone to compressor stalls during high alpha states. It's radar was from the F-4 Era and it armed with AIM-7's and Skyflash. The JAS-39 can mount IRIS-T and Meteor's, in Ukraine, the standard load out would be 2+4 (Fox 2 + Fox 3)

  12187.  @LRRPFco52  The thrust difference with a 2+4 loadout and full internal fuel is 0.06 0.89-1 vs 0.82-1 with the -39 mounting Meteors and IRIS-T, 1-1 if you re-engine with the F414. Logistics footprint is roughly the same with greater availability of parts for the GE-414.

  12194.  @LRRPFco52  I used full internal fuel, this would be the max fuel load that any aircraft would go into battle with after they jettison the tanks. I did not use 50% because I needed to set aside enough fuel for 5 minutes of full afterburner plus the trip back. So the Gripen had 0.82-1 and the Viggen 0.86-1.
    1
  12195.  @LRRPFco52  If you start at 50% the Viggen at 50% internal fuel, you have enough fuel for 3 minutes of combat after that, your a glider. Normal is fuel to get there, 5 min of combat at AB, fuel to get back. Start with deducting the fuel for combat, as that tells you how much fuel you have to do everything else. Using the Viggen, with full internal fuel, 5 min of combat, you have 16 minutes at max mil to and from the target. With the Gripen C it's 17 min of fuel after 5 min at AB, with the E it's 19 minutes at Mil remaining. Calculations based of specific fuel consumption data at mil and at AB.
    1
  12196.  @LRRPFco52  The all planes are nose heavy, even deltas, that's by design. The Gripen is biased to the rear because it like the F-16 and a few others are "relaxed" or "neutral" stability aircraft to allow for faster changes in direction. They use their flight control computers to keep the aircraft stable.
    1
  12197.  @LRRPFco52  Yeah, the F-16, Mirage 2000, EF2000, those were pretty much the planes where FBW and relaxed stability became a thing. The MiG-29 and Su-27 did not have either.

  12219. The IRS auditor did not do a full audit, he, yes he as in one person, just took the word of the accounting firm that Trump's tax filing were accurate. The IRS agent wrote that Trump "hires a professional accounting firm and Counsel to prepare and file tax return," and they "ensure" that Trump "properly reports all income and deduction items."  Seems the IRS agent believes he only needs to audit if the person is too poor to hire a high priced tax accountant. Funny, that same accounting firm, fired Donald Trump as a client stating that they (the accounting firm) could no longer stand behind a decade of annual financial statements it prepared for the Trump Organization

  12220.  @clickclack8081  Since the company that prepares his tax filings have stated that they cannot vouch for the accuracy of the past ten years of his financial statements, that hints that the 2016 tax filings through 2020 are not accurate.

Since then the IRS has audited every President's taxes every single year. And now we find that the IRS never audited Trump's 2016,2017,2018 and 2020 and only started auditing his 2016 after the Committee chairman demanded to see the audit

  12248. So to hit the Russian bases in Crimea, like the Naval Base, the Ukrainians just have to fly 30-50 miles off shore, say over a few miles east of Snake Island and at 140nm to target, zoom climb up to 7,000ft release the missile, split S and dive for home. Meanwhile the missile does a gentle decent to 50ft and heads for the target undetected until it comes within 15-20 miles of a radar station
    1
  12249.  @andreimihailov671  At the range I mentioned, the S-400 will not have radar LOS to the launch aircraft. Since it's a few miles out from Snake, it's on the edge of Russian AWACS coverage and close enough to Ukrainians S-300 coverage that the MiG-31 will be launching at max range. This means that the Split S will put it outside of missile intercept parameters.

The F-16 is in low rate production and can meet the parts requirements as well as provide new or updated aircraft. The USAF, has been trasitioning to the F-35 and plans to retire 190 F-16's, sending them to the boneyard. There are enough F-16's in flyable condition that can be upgraded to block 60/62 or 70/72

  12256.  @markiobook8639  It's the cycle of battle, one day you are under heavy attack other days not a single shell. The casualties were highest when the fighting was at it's peak in March. From June through August it was fairly low. Fighting intensified in September through October. Then the fighting became more focused in the Donbas area and Luhansk front and the casualty rate fell significantly. Despite the Russian media claims, the volume of Russian artillery is not as great as it was in March and April, so fewer casualties as it's not going to do anything to anyone in the trench if it hits 2 meters outside the trench. You need a direct or near direct hit for casualties to happen. And even then you get only 1-2 at a time. Btw, there is a project that is trying to memorialize the Russian dead (death notice, grave which often have their picture, unit and death date, official announcements cross referenced against each other), so far they have already confirmed the Russian dead to be double what Moscow has admitted to. And they are not counting the dead Russians that the Ukrainians have posted which are based on the bodies they recovered and their ID's.

That was 4 weeks ago. Since then, they've been trying to work their way around the city came close to taking the airfield west of Kyiv but that lead element got cut off from it's command when the Ukrainians pushed between it and the rest of the Russian force. This is a unit that only carries 3-4 days of munitions and food and that was two days ago. Maybe they can go steal from a Ukrainian grocery store.

The case you refer to is being appealed before the 11th court of appeals, the same court that kicked Cannon of the Trump case when she tried to intervene after the search. The same court that in the order removing Cannon and tossing out her rulings proceeded to dress her down in writing over her lack of judicial judgement, her idiotic ruling and reasoning, they literally issued instructions to her on how she was supposed to properly use soap to take a bath. The same court that told her to not take the case, to pass it on to someone else who 1. had more experience in cases with similar classified documents (she has none), 2. did not have political entanglements 3. previous history with.

  12273. The Ukrainians are not selling the MiG's. they will use them until they can't fly any more either because they can't be repaired anymore or they are blown out of the sky. The fact is that every time the Ukrainian MiG-29 flies into combat, the pilot will have to dodge 2-4 missiles that the MIG-29's radar warning receiver will not warn the pilot about. After that, the pilot will have to find the plane/s that shot at him but he can't because they will be outside the range of his radar system and on the off chance he does get a return, they will be outside the launch range of his missiles.

  12274.  @aardque  Ukraine does not have "air dominance", it does have air space denial. And as long as the S-300's and other mid to high altitude SAM's are available, they will continue to have that. Problem comes when the S-300 runs out and they can't re-stock because only the Russians make them. Thus, the need for high performance fighters and more Western air defenses

So at the things they are supposed to be better at, they are either same or worse.

  12357.  @jamesrosella529  How's your math? The Ukranians started with less than 80 MiG-29 and SU-27, 1/3 was not flyable due to lack of spare parts, of the active force, after 40 days of combat and what was lost on day one, they are down to an estimated 30-40 planes. That's 10-14 aircraft mission capable at any given time. And these planes are all 20-30 years old held together with salvaged parts and will. To take back their country they are going to need more MiG's and more Su-27's than there are in all of Western Europe and the USA, never mind where you get spare parts and munitions for them. As for the Javelin and Stingers. Not every Javelin fired kills what it's aimed at, not Stinger launched hits. Take the ammo you expect to use and triple it, that's the reality of war.

  12358.  @jamesrosella529  I don't think Zelinsky or his military advisors believed that Russia would actually invade. As to the planes, they need to be able to maintain the plane, unfortunately the F-22 is spare parts dead end.

March Russia was on a roll and it was in the process of incircling Kyiv from the north and it had cut the supply road from the west, a Russian armor group was coming from the south out of Kherson, Sumy was cut off Kyiv and Ukraine looked like it would fall by April. Since then u see any Russian tanks between Kyiv and the Belarus border, the Russians are now sending their top of the line troops and armor to try to hold on to Luhansk, their spring assault to capture Donetsk Oblast has been stopped since summer, they've pulled out of Kherson west of the Dnipro River with no hope of recovering it and they are building trenches on the beaches of Crimea and south Kherson oblation to defend against an amphibious landing by a country that had no Navy. Meanwhile the US has some really cost effective munitions that will cripple Russians logistics, command, early warning and Air defenses within 75 miles of the front. And it uses existing stocks, only the bolt on guidance and glide system is new and it can be used by the German and US supplied MLRS systems that Ukraine has.

  12382.  @olliefoxx7165  Prepare Ukraine for an attack on Russia??? Talk about mind programming. What utter delusional garbage. A simple review of Ukraine's military posture and equipment would tell you that's garbage. As far as "murdering ethnic Russians" Russia launched it's campaign in 2014 when it sent the Spetnaz to take over Ukraine. Soon after that it funded the "separatists" who waged a violent campaign against the Ukrainian government. A nation with 1/5th the military strength attacking the 2nd (by it's own claims) most powerful military in the world? a non-nuclear state with less than 120 combatant aircraft going up against a state with over 3,000 aircraft? Go read over what you typed and look up the TOE and equipment lists and try to reconcile the them and you'll see how delusional that claim is.

This US force defended against a combined attack by Wagner and Syrian Army against the SF base which resulted in about 200 dead Wagner and Syrian army soldiers. They will be staying there until further notice

  12390.  @olliefoxx7165  And the Syrian Democractic Force invited the US. And the Syrian "people" did not invite Russia, the dictator Assad invited Russia to help save his regime. In case you missed history class, Assad leads a minority tribe in Syria that controls all of the levers of power. His tribe is a Shia minority in a country that is majority Sunni. Assad declared that all opposition to his regime, including all peacefull, non violent or unarmed opposition were terrorists. So if you say that the syrian should not be shooting proterstors, you are a terrorist. If you say that Assad should be required to stand for election, you are a terrorist. That is what you are defending.

  12417.  @rogerwilco5918  Trump was elected 2016 so 2017-2020, Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 when it took Crimea then funded and created the armed insurgency in eastern Ukraine. A series of aid packages were requested by the Obama administration and approved by the US Congress and continued since then. Trump at some point got it into his head that Hillary Clinton's server was in Ukraine and later that he could kill Joe Biden's presidential campaign by blackmailing Ukraine by withholding US aid unless Ukraine announced that Joe Biden was being investigated by them for corruption. That did not work out too well.

  12438. Yeah, Russians are not doing deep assaults, not after the fiasco at Kyiv. They are not operating aircraft past the FEBA and when they are in it, they are flying below 200ft above the deck. Their fighters are staying high and east outside the engagement range of the Ukrainian Ground Air Defenses.
    1
  12439. The longest helicopter assault during this war so far was on the 1st week and Russia sent helicopter borne troops to the outskirts of Kyiv. They captured the airports but were forced to retreat towards their armor which drove south from Bellarus. They later recaptured the two airfields north of Kyiv and thus the encirclement of Kyiv began.
    1
  12440.  @freedomordeath89  Just saying, the Russians did do long range helicopter assaults early in this war. They did eventually capture their objectives after losing it, and they were able to cut off the western supply route to Kyiv. Ultimately they simply ran out of supplies as their supply convoys could not bring up enough to supplies and reinforcements to complete their mission of taking Kyiv and they and the entire northern force were forced to retreat back into Russia and Belarus.

The winter offensive that and the fall of Bakhmut which was supposed to cause the Ukrainian line to break and open the way to Kramatorsk yielded just under 800sq km and failed to break the Ukrainian lines or open the way to anywhere. Now the Ukrainians once again are probing for weak points as they are actively attempt to destroy Russian rear area supply and logistics nodes

Looking at that same base, it's not an empty field anymore. It's a fully built up fire base, complete with blast berms to protect against shrapnel and the only way you can even damage the various Patriot components is a direct hit on the individual component.

  12528.  tylo2015  Sorry bub The Ukrainans realized that the component was damaged when the thing powered down a few hours after it got hit. They made a temporary repair and US inspectors sent a $5,000 replacement part was sent from the US to Ukraine and the component was up and running again. That's the beauty of a modular system. There are only 2 nodes in a patriot battery that will actually keep it from working.

Problem Shokin was not fired until March 2016, 3 months later. So none of the "facts" are true, which makes them Lies.

  12593.  @maddog8004  Detecting Patriot's Radar. Can you? It's an AESA system. Can it see further than is publicly admitted? The US generally under reports. Remember, the distance that a radar can detect is based on how much power it has available and line of sight. In which case, the higher the target, the further it can be seen. The A-50 diving to escape. 30km is how far it will get if it's already at full speed and headed away. 0km if it does not start before the missile's own radar goes active and starts it's death dive for the pilot's cockpit. Yes, it seems the interceptor is biased towards hitting forward the wings.

Maybe the attestation by Trump's lawyers that all the classified documents had been turned over, the one signed by Trump's lawyer on his behalf has something to do with it?? After all, Trump's lawyers drafted the document, they signed the letter saying All Classified documents had been turned over. You see, when you take out classified documents, you have to sign out for them, and when you return them, you sign them back in. The records show the documents being taken but not returned. Subsequent interviews of Secret Service and Trump and Mar-a-Lago staff interviews later and the cataloging of the documents by the National Archives told the FBI that Trump lied about not having classified documents. If you doubt this, see Trump's lawyer's post linking the letter sent to him by the National archives. Given this, the constant denials, constant obfuscation, dragging his feet, the FBI probably said F it, we've been bending over backwards because he was President and letting this drag on since Jan 2021. Pull the trigger, get a search warrant and retrieve the documents and end this stupidity.

The Library will release them 2 years after Biden leaves leaves office.

Chased, not rand from, the leathernecks chased them as the Iraqi's retreated, stopping only to reload their LAV's 20mm cannons. Where M1 Tanks and M2 Bradleys picked off something like 160 Iraqi tanks and 180 IFV's while losing a single Bradley?

  12773.  @Chevsilverado  I'll admit, it would be an effort to bomb that convoy, but now it's that much harder now that it's off the road and you now have to find and hit individual sections. And yes, taking out 40 miles worth of supply trucks and armor would make a significant dent. Every truck destroyed is a truck that can't bring more supplies and that effect will be felt far longer than a destroyed tank

  12780. @James Holman Trump didn't fix the border or immigration. He just put it where you didn't see it. This was 3 years in the making as the numbers piled up in refugee camps in Mexico. Trump cut aid to central and South America that was intended to reduce immigration pressure.

  12782. @EricaCalman  the primary cause of lost aircraft during the Vietnam War was AAA guns. Stealth is designed to defeat targeting radars within a certain frequency band. But the effectiveness is reduced the closer it gets to the radar. The radar may not see the plane at 100 miles but can see it at 12. IR and optical also work as an alternative tracking option.

Couple with the order that the Chiefs of Staffs intercepting a memo that Trump's thug was trying to pass around in November ordering all US troops in Afghanistan, Iraq and Africa to be in the USA by January, they wanted all of Trumps orders to be routed to them for clearance and the Sec of Defense concurred (see his testimony before Jan 6 committee).

  12789. The simple defense is to shoot down the launch system before it can release the missile. This requires 2 things. 1. A radar that can detect the launch vehicle as it lifts off and track it to it's launch area. 2. An interceptor that can get to the launch aircraft before it can release the missile. The USAF has both.

  12790. You are just revising the Trump demand that the US would release the Aid if Ukraine would announce that they are investigating Joe Biden.

The NARA must take physical and legal custody of all Presidential records, ALL government documents must be returned to the originating department. Trump refused, NARA brought in the FBI FBI got a subpoena, Trump lied to the FBI, FBI got a search warrant and got the documents. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

  12810.  asahi toki  The Afghans did not defeat the US, by 2020 the majority of the Taliban leaders were either dead, in jail or hiding in Pakistan. The US had to get the Taliban leaders out of jail just so they could negotiate a peace treaty with someone. In November 2020, Donald Trump tried to order the US DOD to have the troops home by Jan 2021, they refused that order. The treaty stated that the US would leave, and the time table put that date to be May 2021, Joe Biden delayed that departure till August 2021.

  12816.  @bks252  When you bring up corruption, do you actually have an idea about it? look it up, Ukraine was at the same level as Russia, it's not anymore, hasn't been for years now since it started making changes to be able to join the EU. As far as the homeless vets, you had homeless vets since the US Civil War. Since WW1, the Republican Party has been cutting funding for Veterans, and since Ronald Reagan, Republicans have been trying to zero out social services to anyone including vets. No as far as Ukraine goes, you are looking at something akin to Poland and Czechoslovakia in 38-39. Pay the price now while the Ukrainians can still handle it, they are providing their blood and bodies in exchange for guns and bullets, or pay the price when Putin goes after Moldova, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and later Poland in order to protect the oppressed Russian population. Or are you going to go with "it's not our problem", "we have too many problems here at home" then as well?

  12820. @tbl268  so he stopped the fentany smuggling across the border? Oh wait no. As to Trump's "great economy" he inherited it from Obama. Economic average growth under Obama was 2.4% and 2.5% under Trump. Obama started with having to recover from the worst economic disaster since the great depression and Trump came in while the US economy was in the midst of the longest period of economic growth in US history, growth that ended during Trumo's 3rd year in office.

Most of the buildings with Trump's name on it are not his, he just sells his name and gets paid a "management fee" while the real management of the property is done by someone else the real owner hired. Trump's real property, the old Post Office is up for sale because it's been loosing money since he bought it, his other properties have also been losing money, he's been claiming unpaid and future memberships, as part of his company's net worth, valuing properties that can't be sold or developed (worthless) at the same price as properties that have real value.

That means that just 28% of those killed were civilians That tells me that John Spencer's claims are worth less than the fish wrap he wrote it on.
    1
  12844. John Spencer apparently does not read the data. Israel's civilian to combatant kill ratio is 2 civilians per combatant killed, and its consistent with the pre 10/07/23 numbers. Compare to the US ratio of 2.8 to 7 in Afghanistan.

  12892. alkhan2 Based on the testing done by Motortrend, the Tesla's acceleration peaks at 0.5 seconds at 1.5g's From that point, it's acceleration drops and by 6 seconds after launch it's acceleration is down to 0.3g. In contrast the 911 turbo they tested (note, turbo's are actually not very good at drag racing) had it's peak acceleration between 0.5 seconds an 1 second at 1.3g, slower than the Tesla and 0.25 sec later. However the 911 slow it's acceleration as quickly as the Tesla. About 3 seconds after the launch, the 911 was actually picking up speed faster than the Tesla maintaining a 0.1-0.2g acceleration advantage over the Tesla. That's why the Tesla and the 911 hit 110 at the same time and the 911 hit 150 before the Tesla.

  12893. Efrain Toro9 The electronic limiter wasn't the reason the Tesla's acceleration was slowing down faster than the 911 0.5 seconds after launch and continuing to accelerate SLOWER THAN THE 911 all the way to 150.

  12897. They do run simulations, they know how much munitions are needed to fight a war, we got a lesson in it during Desert Storm. You know what happened, Defense spending was cut. Sure we spent lots of money on new gear, stealth planes and anti ballistic missiles. You know what we did not spend it on? maintenance and operational expenses. That's why at one point half the USMC's F/A-18's were grounded waiting for spare parts. It's why in the face of a long range anti missile threat the aircraft or it's follow on that would have been fantastic for the job was ground up for scrap metal.

  12913.  @BurrQ19  The Semi might disrupt the trucking industry IF they can sell it at or close to the current sales price of a diesel rig and can operate at with the same payloads and ranges of a diesel truck regardless of the temperatures. That includes temperatures ranging from - 50deg F to +110. Somehow I don't see that happening in the next 20 years. The battery is still too heavy (the Model 3 is almost a ton heavier than it's ICE competitor) which would reduce the payload. There is a limit to how much a rig with it's payload can weigh, above that and it will not be allowed on the road. Batteries lose range when it's cold. So the battery has to become lighter, have an energy density of at least 20-50 times what it has now and be less susceptible to temperature.

  12914.  aurelio milaor cabal  Not having an engine up front does not make a car safer. That mass is something that helps absorb the energy from a crash And it's 344-532lbs depending on the trim and the BMW has wider tires which with it's lighter weight allows it have shorter stopping distances, higher cornering speed. But take heart, the Model 3 is still faster than the BMW SUV, oh wait... it's a couple of seconds slower, it's still faster than the BMW I3.
    1
  12915.  @BurrQ19  Even with the full performance package the Tesla still has more weight per sq inch of tire contact patch than a BMW M3 or Ford Focus. It's why the in this test a car with less than 1/2 the hp and torque was faster than the Model 3 around a track.

  12916.  @BurrQ19  You can't re-write the law that governs how much the vehicle weighs because if you do, you have to re-build every single mile of the US highway system. Bridges have maximum weight limits as do road.

  12917.  @BurrQ19  Let's see, the 1966 Mini weighed in at around 1,200 lbs and carried 4-5 people, yep it did, we had one when I was a teen and I got 5 of us in it and our backpacks went in the trunk. My Mazda 6 station wagon weighs 3,500lbs, the Model 3 is 3,800lb, the Model S is 4,700-5,000lb And why would you want a glass roof?
    1
  12918.  @BurrQ19  The number of drive wheels don't matter when it comes to distributing the weight. Because many of the bridges were built before the 1960's they limit the max weight to 80,000lbs distributed over 5 axles with no set of axles being no more than 94inches apart. This is what the trucking industry has to deal with. The battery+powerpack of an EV truck weights more than than a diesel power pack with full fuel. This means the frame of the truck has to be stronger and thus heavier than the diesel truck to handle the increased weight. This unladen weight, cuts into the allowed 80,000lb laden weight.
    1
  12919.  @BurrQ19  When it comes to commercial trucks these numbers are fixed. 80,000lb max weight (semi+trailer+cargo) 15,000 Trailer weight So every pound your cab weighs is paying cargo you can't carry. A Volvo sleeper I think comes out at about 17,000lb, the Kenworth with a 86 sleeper cab is around 19,000lb From what folks calculated based on Tesla's numbers about 20,400 for the 500mile sleeper That's with the use of an aluminum frame and cab and extensive use of plastics and removing the passenger seat to reduce weight. Problem using aluminum is it's more expensive than steel and it's more difficult to repair, this drives combined with the more expensive powerpack (engine+battery and all associated components) means the semi costs more than the diesel competitors. So you have a more expensive semi, and less paying cargo per run. For Tesla's semi to work, Panasonic needs to reduce the weight of the batteries by 5,000lbs in order to make this commercially viable.

  12921.  @BurrQ19  Re-Glass roof leads to more headroom, The glass is thicker and heavier than solid roof, adds weight up high. The roof, despite it's thinness actually provides structural integrity, glass does not so they have to reinforce the frame around the glass, again more weight up high. Re-model 3 disqualification, about the same as when they banned turbine cars from F1. 200lbs of extra weight on paper may not seem like much, but it's enough that you'll need fatter tires to deal with.

Now I have to deal with Tesla drivers who do the same and pat themselves on the back for it but never once think about what the people who are driving behind them are seeing and how it will affect them.

Or was he gathering his courage for a second attack, perhaps to kick the man he had just shoved to the ground? 6 Victim draws his gun and shoots, was he supposed to wait until after he gets hit again? I'm sorry the guy is dead, but just because he's dead does not change the fact that he started the fight, up until then it was just a verbal argument.

The EU nations have budgeted for increased production but have yet to sign the multi year contracts that the EU companies need in order to actually invest in the machinery needed for increased production

  13001.  @jhhhjgfds  divide the number by the days of the conflict which ran from 2003 to 2017 and do the same for the Ukraine numbers. Also adjust for the scale, Iraq involved over a 2 million troops on all sides vs 488k in Ukraine

This turn usually took place about 1/3 of the way into the standard F-14A demo flown by a US Navy pilot future Atlantic Fighter Air Boss who racked up over 4,000hrs in Tomcats. He would also pull this while evading a SAM over Iraq, where he flamed out and evaded on one engine.

  13007. 1. Russian economy has not collapsed YET, the Russian finance ministry has announced that gas and petroleum income is 50% below 2022, that they are selling at a discount because no one, not even their "allies" want to buy them at full price. 4. The "West" has started ramping up production, Patriot production is double what it was from last year and will be up 50% more from 2022 levels by end of 2023, and the company has announce 5 more batteries will be built for Ukraine after moving their order to the front of the build line and all will be delivered by 2025. 155 production is increasing,. 5. 50 F-16's for now more as pilots can be sent through the training pipeline 6.The war in Ukraine is about 5% of the annual US military budget

  13012. If anyone here thinks that aid to Ukraine is about to get cut off by the Republicans you are an idiot. 117 of 221 House Republicans voted against cutting aid to Ukraine. As far as Elon Musk, Rich narcissist got offended when his "peace plan" got rejected and that was back when Ukraine was fighting for its life with Russians on the suburbs of Kyiv. Since his cutting off of Starlink service to the Ukrainians, control of the starlink assets that serve the Ukrainians has been transferred to the US DoD, the DoD contract for its access prohibits Musk from making any changes or restrictions to how, where and with whom the DoD uses it.

  13019.  @DirtyRedMuzik  Nope, AG gave the 3 exemptions, a 10 year old rape victim is not one of them.

  13020.  @johnnielson4341  PER OH AG the exemptions are Cases of ectopic pregnancy - It was not Cases that would cause death of the mother - maybe, questionable Cases that cause a serious risk of substantial, irreversible impairment to a major bodily function of the mother - This is the most likely usable exemption but it's open to interpretation, hard to prove that it would.
    1
  13021.  @DirtyRedMuzik  harm to the mother is not one of the three exemptions, it has to be more specific than that.

  13022.  @johnnielson4341  It does not matter what the Ohio AG says, his running his mouth off on Fox News proved that. What matters is what the text of the law says. Because when this comes up again, that's what's going to matter.
    1
  13023.  @johnnielson4341  A straight out reading of the law says it is, no matter what the AG says. Pull up the law, it gives the exemptions, anything not mentioned as one of the listed exemptions is not an exemption.

  13024.  @johnnielson4341  That depends who whom is interpreting, even in this short segment, the physician can determine that it is a risk that in her interpretation will not trigger the exemption.

  13027. Just from looking at the car, I can tell you that the reason there are so many Model 3 that have rear quarter damage is because of the poor rear visibility and the shape of the rear. Poor visibility means you can't see easily, your sight lines are shit. The shape, because you have no straight lines or corners, you have issues judging angels and distances.

  13043.  @eblsymk  I recall a parable about a pious man who drowned, complaining to God why he did not save him.
    1
  13044.  @eblsymk  this is the modern version of that was told to us in sunday school. A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help. Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, "Jump in, I can save you." The stranded fellow shouted back, "No, it's OK, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me." So the rowboat went on. Then a motorboat came by. "The fellow in the motorboat shouted, "Jump in, I can save you." To this the stranded man said, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith." So the motorboat went on. Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, "Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety." To this the stranded man again replied, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith." So the helicopter reluctantly flew away. Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, "I had faith in you but you didn't save me, you let me drown. I don't understand why!" To this God replied, "I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?"

  13065. Seriously though what part of the Green Deal calls for reducing power generation? While it calls for the reduction for the use of coal for that purposes, but coal is already on the way out as a source of fuel for energy production anyway. At the same time its for building a more efficient power grid, something we actually do need as the current US/Canadian electric grid is decades behind and billions of dollars a year short of just keeping current. The average electrical plant is 30 years old, some are 70 years old and some parts of the grid are over 100 years old.

    1
  13088.  @corvanna4438  The problem is that an airbase is a massive immobile target, park your planes there and within two days it's going to be a missile magnet. It's why the Ukrainians moved every plane that could fly out of them before the war even started. As for the cost, New builds will drop the cost a bit as that will nearly double the production and support demand. With the end of F/A-18 production, there is spare capacity at GE and Boeing. Based on LM's experience moving the F-16's production from Texas to SC, It should take less than a year to convert the F/A-18 line to build Gripen.

  13138. The USAF has gotten permission to retire a large number of A-10's many of these just got re-winged and upgraded to A-10C standard. These planes would normally go into code 1000 storage meaning they will be kept in as close to ready to fly as possible, something that will cost the USAF a lot of money. Offloading these planes along with their support equipment to Ukraine would free up money for use in purchasing F-35A's and the NGAD program

  13144. @mywifesboyfriend5558  Hunter was tried and convicted. Not once did Hunter or Joe Biden whine about the Trump appointed prosecutor. Not once did they complain about the conflicted, corrupt Trump appointed judge. Joe Biden could have prevented all of it. Instead, Biden fired all of Trump's prosecutors save two. He kept on the Prosecutor Trump hired to discredit the Mueller investigation, and the prosecutor Trump had appointed to prosecute Hunter Biden. Joe Biden has not called on the Supreme Court to intervene and throw out the case. Yes Joe Biden is what Trump can never be in a thousand lifetimes... a good man and a good President.

Use the pre-position munitions and supplies in Israel to support them. This removes the occupation from the IDF and establishes a de facto independent state under US protection. HAMAS will not like it but they will be forced to deal with it as they will have a hard time getting support from the civilian population who are less hostile towards Americans than they are towards the IDF.

Ukraine, with the aid of it's allies is manufacturing 500,000k artillery and mortar shells a year, and another munitions plant is under construction. Plants that are defended by NATO supplied SAM's and GBAD. It has contracts to purchase another 500k from SK and other countries with a similar number from US companies. All of it to be paid for with a combination of foreign aid and Russian funds. Yes, Russia will be funding the 155mm artillery shells that are being used against it.

And while he's doing this, his case move along on schedule and all he's Done is waste money and time that he should have used to preparing his defense. Meantime, the judge, in her response, put Trump's lawyers on notice that they should remember the exact procedures of who, where, and who to include as well as the exact filing times for future motions and failure to follow will result automatically denials.

Accuracy depends on the availablity of drones and if there isn't something in the area that can knock down that drone like an SPAA gun or a MANPADS. With a drone they can adjust for moving targets, without the drone, (downed or jammed) they will hit somewhere within a city block.

The reasoning behind the campaign is the view that the Army was no longer viewed as part of society and had little relevance to the daily lives of the civilian population. That it had become a self selecting minority of one particular segment of a political party, no longer a reflection of the America that it served. That this gap was rapidly widening. This was the reason for this ad. Not so much a recruiting video but a reminder, a plea to the citizenry that was increasingly turning away from Army.

By November the Russians were forced to retreat from west bank of Kherson, blowing the bridges as the left to keep the Ukrainians from following them across. So looking at that, the Ukrainians are about on schedule

Most of the F/A-18's regardless of type have very little available airframe hours left on them and all the ones that were used by the USN are more dangerous to the pilot than the enemy due to a life time of slamming into the carrier's deck. Meanwhile over 4,000 F-16's were built, the production line is still running and the spare parts are easy to come by.

Spanish Flu spread from Kansas USA to France before it was reported in Spain. why, war time censorship.

And while peace time munition production in the US is not enough to meet Ukrainian usage rates, there is enough production world wide to meet Ukraine's current usage and more than triple that.

The Automatic Transmissions or "slush boxes" were introduced by US companies were shitty heavy things that robbed the engines of power and were expensive to repair. It was a Frenchman who invented the first decent automatic transmission in the form of a dual clutch transmission that got rid of the torque converter and companies like Porsche developed it in their Le Mans race cars. The first production car to use it was the VW Golf The Ford version of this is the "Powershift" transmission developed by Getrag and is probably one of the worst shifting DCT's I've ever experienced.

  13455. There is no harm to actually changing the oil more often than required. Personally I take the number in the owner's manual and divide it half. Reason, I tend to keep my cars longer than the average and I drive more than most. So for my SAAB, that's 5,000 miles (easier to remember) Since I do my own oil changes, this costs me less than $30US which is a lot less than having to change the turbine, piston rings or other bearing in a car that I expect to keep for another decade. I did the same with my previous car and I kept it for more than 10 years and over 200k miles and would have kept it longer if it hadn't been totaled. Why anyone would not do their own oil change is something that baffles me, it's something a child could do. I know, I learned to do it when I was 10.

It's so bad that Ukrainian jets flying near the front line are often flying deaf and blind, unable to communicate with each other or their command. The same ECM has been hitting the ground forces down to the platoon and squad level with squads and individual units unable to call for help, commanders unable to send orders.

  13460.  @sentowrite4562  The Russians started the war with about 100 of Ka-52's in theater, this means there isn't a single intact squadron in theater.

Later Poland sent half it's available tanks to Ukraine and they formed a large part of the attack force that liberated Kharkiv. Poland has made it clear, given a choice between Ukraine and Russia, they chose Ukraine.

Then stalemate as their supply convoy and supply depots were repeatedly hit by Ukrainian weapons teams moving behind Russian lines as well as missile armed drones.

  13661. They also left out that the reason that Torpedo 8 was alone was because the SBD's and the Wildcats were off flying in the wrong direction. Torpedo 8's CO after flying the same direction as the dive bombers gave the CO a verbal FU and led his squadron off on a new heading. Later as the Wildcats started to run out of fuel the fighter squadron CO signaled that his planes were running out of gas, and was told to get back in formation. Another attempt later was met with the same response. Frustrated, the fighter squadron leader broke formation and headed back to Hornet and the rest of his Wildcats followed him. Now without a fighter escort, the strike leader was forced to turn back. 2 of the Dive bombers returned to Hornet while the rest landed at midway with some of them running out of gas before they reached the island. Oh and while Torpedo 8 was getting taken apart by the Zero's, Enterprise's fighters were flying overhead but did not engage the zeros.

Its how the Ukrainians bombed the SAM radars and launchers, they were turned off

  13698. You can calculate the optimum turn rate of any aircraft if you know it's stall speed with the engines on. To pull 9g, the F-22 needs to be north of 400 knots, but that performance drops as the speed does. Meanwhile the A-10 clean with just guns and 2 Aim-9's have a stall speed that is lower than the F-22. This plus the higher lift from it's wings mean the A-10 is able to pull more g, more degrees/sec at lower speeds.

  13751.  @Chaso-1124  In order for a military unit to be able to fight with a degree of effectiveness, it has to train to fight. So most units when they are not deployed are either training to deploy, enroute to or from a deployment, or recovering from a deployment. And when they are on deployment and actually fighting, their effectiveness actually drops. We train like we fight, and a unit that does not train, ends up like the Iraqi or Chinese Army. The military are not cops or not border guards.

Biden needs 50 solid votes but he really needs votes from 10 Republicans. We know who those 10 are. Biden can push them till hell freezes over but unless they feel the pressure from their home states, they are not going to vote to reduce their own parties chance to win the next election.

  13795. Yes, because in Ukraine they are outnumbered 5 or 10 to 1, with the Russians firing 10 artillery shells for every single shell the Ukrainians are firing and they have not received any ammo from the US for nearly a year because the Putin wing of the Republican Party was blocking it.

And that gives them the ability to purchase from defense and munitions companies anywhere on the planet. Take the 155mm artillery shell. You can buy them from companies on 3 different continents.

  13805. @T51B1  yes look at Ukraine, you see any F-111 analog's doing CAS? Answer no. The bulk of the F-111 tank and vehicle kills were done at night and they flew a single sortie per day. A-10's flew 2-3 times per day, day or night. The F-111's had pre planned targets, the A-10's were assigned a kill box and hunted for their own targets unless they got a call for help.

  13837. Ukraine was able to deny the Russian jets the ability to roam over areas defended by Ukrainian S-300, Buk and Manpads and other lower tier threats. Problem was they did not have a viable short range ballistic missile defense. This meant that airbases, ammo and supply depots were undefended. This is what Patriot is for. And with 2-4 Patriots, the Ukrainians can finally have a safe area where they can operate maintain and repair the F-16 which in turn lessens the burden on the existing ground based defenses and the existing MiG and SU fleet

Beach landing is out because the Black Sea fleet does not have enough ships unless they expect the Russians to paddle to the beach in life rafts. An attack from Transnistria is possible if they did, they would lose their foothold to the Moldovans. And at the rate of the Russian current advance, the Ukrainians will reach Crimea and the bridge before the Russians can go move the 550 km from Verkhnia Krynytsia to Odessa

And Russia for all their power, wages war against grain because they can barely gain 800sq miles in 5 months. Russia's army, faced with a mercenary rebellion stood by and waited to see who would win instead of moving to crush the rebellion. It now faces the fact that the Army it sent to Ukraine is all the have to send because they need the rest to keep the other army leaders from staging their own rebellions

  13928. Gas cars flood too. If you have a car with a cold air intake that has the intake down near the bumper or lower, that will suck up water and kill your engine in a few seconds. They also have electronics and computers that can short out should they get wet which also will stop the ICE car. Dude, I love gas cars, I work on them for fun. I find EV's to be souless machines. But flooding is not an argument you can use. Maybe the lack of electricity to charge the car might be.

  13944.  @traceyharris3341  I've seen the reports, almost all of those were left for the ANA to use. The US had no plans to ship them back at all. In fact, that for years, the US was scrapping US owned vehicles in Afghanistan, selling them to scrap yards for disposal rather than spending the time and money to ship them back to the US AND THEN SENDING THEM TO A SCRAP YARD IN THE US. To note, In the last weeks as the ANA melted, the US did not have enough men to guard the airport and had to fly in troops just to have enough bodies to secure the airport. How many of those people would you pull to go all over Afghanistan to take back the equipment that belonged to the Afghan government?

  13953. @mystic48209  I know about the record. It's missing some details like the Russians did not dogfight in the MiG-19 and 21 so they never taught their students. The Chinese however, flew MiG-17's and 19's and they did dogfight and they taught their students how. So in Vietnam, the -21's would use hit and run attacks and the MiG-17's and -19's would merge and mix it up with the Americans.

  13958.  @dirkloyd8487  Putin has demanded that NATO and the US and all nations stop sending weapons, munitions, food and other war material to Ukraine as well as to stop providing training to use said weapons. Any nation doing so is waging a war against Russia. So, now do we stop and let the Ukrainians die because otherwise Russia will wage an all out war against us? BTW he's right, Sanctions, economic or financial are acts of war. So is arming Ukraine. While I understand your reluctance, the west can't allow Putin to dictate the terms of our response. Stop cowering before Putin and the threats he makes. Know that he's not as strong as he claims to be. Russia has not prepared for the war it's fighting. Russia has spent billions on trophy projects that to date are still in prototype or just designs on paper while neglecting basic routine maintenance and training. So you have some units with the best kit and training, but the bulk of their soldiers don't even have NVG's and some are being issued 30-50 year old rifles. So the best course is to provide Ukraine with everything they need. Arms, munitions, food, fuel, intel, even Russian built tanks and planes. We in the west can underwrite Ukraine's entire war effort without breaking a sweat. If needed they can set up an international volunteer force with funding and equipment donated by the west. Think AVG in China. Retired (or temporary separation) personnel can go on "vacation" in Ukraine while staying at the facilities there and make use of the equipment donated by the Ukraine boosters club. equipment like aerial tours of the country in F-35's and Rafale's or go cross country in Leopard tanks. Go hunting big game with G3's and Panzerfaust's

  13974.  @DarkenedOne55  the attack was meant to be stopped. It's something that Iran does when it needs to give a response but does not want to escalate. Think shot across the bow or warning shot. They just gave a show of force demo and now you can look at what it took to stop it after they warned you it was coming and extrapolate if you had just 5 min warning and the volume was 5-10 times that.

  13996. @Mitchell Couchman Sigh, The F-14A is the model with the PW TF-30 The F-14A+ were F-14A's with GE-110 engine replacing the TF-30's, they were later re-designated as F-14B's The F-14D were the digital F-14 with new radar (modules from F-15E), avionics and digitally augmented flight controls and a new HUD derived from the F/A-18E and GE-110 engines..] When I suggested the F-414, I chose that because it will fit inside the engine bay of the MiG-29 without having to re-manufacture the airframe.

  13997. @Mitchell Couchman You are thinking of the follow on to the F-14D, The F-14 21 Super Tomcat 21 with 8x AIM-120's replacing the 6 AIM-54/AIM-7 loadout and sensors and extra fuel tank built into the modified Phoenix pods, increased internal fuel, digital fight controls, bowless canopy AESA radar, 2x F110-GE-429 from the F-15E and F-16 which had enough thrust to allow the ST21 to supercruise with a full A2A loadout

Do the same with Biden, who becomes POTUS on 1/20/2021. The years you start seeing the effect will be 2022,23,24 and 25. So to get Trump's record you compare 2018-2021 to Biden's 2022-2025.

  14046.  @retirementpirate3665  Then Ukraine falls because you effectively cast a vote for the man who has stated that he would end all Ukraine funding, force Ukraine to bow to Putin's cease fire demands, (withdrawal of all Ukrainian forces from Russian claimed lands including land that Russia does not control, reduction of it's heavy armor to less than the number of armor they lost in a single year, end of all military assistance from NATO, meaning) conditions that would mean that even after the cease fire, when the Russians resume the war after a year, the Ukrainians will not have enough armor, artillery, aircraft or ammunition to last more than a month or two.

  14049. Couple of things. You're not suppose to retain cell phones with classified information, your supposed to destroy them if you don't turn them in to be wiped or destroyed. Computer drives when no longer required are supposed to be wiped and written over (filling every memory space with a 0) 4 times before it can be re-used. Also the FBI downloaded copies of Clinton's servers. And having that data on non government servers is not a crime if you are authorized to have that information because you are one of the people who either the intended recipient of the information or you created the information. BTW the current Trump administration have been using private servers and private unauthorized e-mail accounts for US government correspondence in order to bypass reporting and Presidential Records Act requirements.

Then the Su-30's started falling from the skies as the "destroyed" Ukrainian SAM net started coming back online and the Ukrainian Air Force started using aerial guerilla tactics. By the end of March the Russian air force was staying east of the battle lines and only the SU-25's of Frontal Aviation dared to fly over the battlefield and only at extremely low altitude. Before you respond, there is only one reason you fly SU-25's or any tactical jet below 100m, and that's you don't have air superiority, and you are worried about medium and high altitude SAM's

It's loud, scares the crap out of you, but apparently after a few times of this, most Ukrainians and Foreign Legion just light a cigarette, read or put on earplugs and watch a movie on their phones when the shelling starts. When it stops, they get back into their defensive positions because the infantry attack of 20-30 men will follow shortly.

Tall order for a missile that is produced at a rate of 2-4 a month

  14114.  @kpackard1  The difference is that the studio's food service was a closed loop, they served the same group of people day in day out. The restaurant was not, it depends on random people showing up to buy food. Where the studio by contract had everybody tested for covid before they started and again regularly, (weekly I think) during the production, the restaurant can't test it's customers before they show up.

  14115.  @aljirou29  What is "Kung Flu"? oh wait, yeah I forgot you still live in the 19th century. Just a sample of what is reqiured for film sets. Testing. Pre-employment PCR testing is now required for all music, TV, and film productions, including short-term or one-time productions. Weekly testing of all cast, talent, performers, and crew is required during the production period at minimum. The majority of productions have already been meeting or exceeding this requirement and we really appreciate that Daily screening before work – ask if subject to any quarantine or isolation order. Screening of employees and visitors arriving to the worksite must include a check for whether the individual is currently under an isolation or quarantine order, not just asking about current symptoms. (yeah I doubt that any restaurant is going to be able to screen their customers before allowing them entry)

California"s test positive rate is 1.5%, Florida is 8.4%, the good news is that there are 12 states who are worse than Florida. Yeah, you are doing so much better with almost double the new cases with half the population. Makes me wonder what that number is going to be in 2-3 weeks. How many of those people will get infected and will spread that infection in their home states. If their governor's had common sense they'd meet them at the airport/bus terminal/state line and escort them directly into a 14day quarantine at nearest motel/hotel with armed police keeping them there.

Without water or without you? Without you. Without food or without you? Without you,” “Cold, hunger, darkness and thirst are not as scary and deadly for us as your ‘friendship and brotherhood,’” he added. “But history will put everything in its place. And we will be with gas, light, water and food … and WITHOUT you!” V Zelensky. And if you think that, it's just Zelensky, that sentiment is echoed through out the country.

They would need 2-3 EA-18G squadrons (bet the USAF wishes it still had ECM birds), 2 F-22, 3-4 F-35 squadrons (8 available), all of the USAF's European F-15 and F-16's, 2-4 Rafale squadrons any what ever western built fighters and tankers NATO nations can send. By default Poland and other nations who fly Russian fighters can't participate. This means that the F-35 and F-22's would be operating inside the Russian SAM bubble. The tankers would need to stay outside the Russian SAM bubble which puts the outside of the SAM and Interceptor range.

  14177.  @coreym162  The taxes in question were for both personal and the businesses and it seems the IRS did not audit him and the IRS agent who was assigned to audit his return just rubber stamped it because in his words that Trump "hires a professional accounting firm and Counsel to prepare and file tax return," and they "ensure" that Trump "properly reports all income and deduction items."

After the 2021 Maricopa County presidential ballot audit found no proof of election fraud, she demanded the election be decertified—a legal impossibility.

  14284.  @stevem9432  And Congress has oversight over the IRS and it's handling of Trumps tax returns. As such it can, by law review those tax returns to ensure that the IRS did their job properly. And that's before it has any other reason to want to review his tax returns.

  14318.  @ruicoelho5349  Nowhere as large as the Russian propaganda claims it to be. Just for example, the Russians claims of how many aircraft they had destroyed is double that of the total number of aircraft the Ukrainians had. the total number of HIMARS they claim to have destroyed is 40 times more than the real number. So apply that to their claims of how many Ukrainians they've killed. So instead of 300,000 more like 30,000-100,000 with most of those in Feb through June.

  14319.  @ruicoelho5349  No one is claiming that the Ukrainians have not taken huge losses, just not as large as what Russians claim. Thus the US estimates 100k casualties, operative word it "casualties" which works out to about 300-400 a day which more or less tracks.

  14347. Tesla, living up to the old American Muscle car stereotype of being quick on acceleration, shit at everything else. It's almost funny that on average for all it's acceleration, the car gets it's best range when driving at 35mph.
    1
  14348.  @trullmann  It's based on the power draw on the batteries and the single gear gearbox. It draws less power at lower rpm than at high rpm. So at 55mph the motor draws more kw/mile than at 35mph. You can solve this by putting in a 2 or 3 speed (not automatic with a torque converter) gearbox, that way you can have the motor spinning at low RPM, drawing as much power while cruising at 65mph as it would at 35mph.

  14350.  @trullmann  Dude, At 55mph a model 3 LR can run for 412miles, same car at 65 350miles, at 75 295. While the torque curve is fairly flat but drops off above 6,000rpm, but the power draw keeps climbingt. The RPM where the torque is at highest and the power draw is the least, works out to about 35 mph. Keep that motor spinning at the RPM and mate it to a gear that spins the tire faster and you get more range for minimal draw. And no, it's not something I came up with, it's a solution that's been around since Edison built batteries for electric cars back in the 1900's. Sometimes the simple and old solution works best.

  14351.  @trullmann  It's not like Tesla never had a 2 speed Transmission. It's just Tesla did not know how to build one that could withstand the forces that the sub 4 second 0-60 acceleration that Musk wanted. Thing is, other people can and have.

That last part is my fond wish as the F-14 was known to kick up a hell of a rooster tail when flying at full burn 50ft off the water. I've heard of pilots flying as low as 30ft but that's the rumour, surely no one would ever do such an irresponsible thing as that. I mean that would be like flying below power lines, mach 2 runs with bombs hanging off you 'cause you wanted to see 1,000 on the ground speed indicator or flying up the California coastline at supersonic with one engine in Zone 5 while the other was at full mil.

  14402.  @turbonerd3075  As I've mentioned, you have no clue how radar detection works. There is a range band, between 0 and 80 knots where radars will ignore radar contacts. The radar will see it but it will not display it to the operators. This is true with all radars, ours and theirs. It's how we defeat radar guided missiles, it's how we break radar locks, it's how slow moving drones are able to fly undetected on their way to blowing something up. This range band exists because if it didn't the radars would populate the operator's screens with so many contacts that their screens would be filled by a giant blob of radar contacts

  14406. Lucky Goose A few posts? Try according to Twitter, 1.5 million twitter posts made by 36,700+ Russian bots, viewed 122 million times, each of them re-tweeted multiple times by who knows how many of the people who viewed them. 3,800+ state accounts linked to a Russian government backed troll farm that sent out over 184,000 tweets during the election period. Facebook reported that it found 50,000 bot accounts linked to Russia and they don't know how many people When Fox News, that's right Pro Trump FOX FREAKING NEWS, did a story on it they found that in just over a single weekend of their investigation, the majority of the tweets with #mueller came from bot accounts. So yeah if you saw an anti-Clinton tweet or facebook post 50/50 you were looking at something that came from the Russian disruption campaign. You don't have to believe it. But the CIA, NSA, FBI do and they're not even the ones who first found it. The Brits and the French spy agencies ran into them and gave their US counterpart the heads up.

  14407. Trevor. Sorry you don't believe your own Fox News. The reason for Putin working with Trump is simple. Putin hates has a viceral hatred for Clinton that makes the Clinton haters hate for her look like love. It has to do with her efforts to place a pro-western government in Moscow and her push to interfere with Putin's efforts in Ukraine. For Trump, possible motivation are as follows. Money, Trump has been trying to break into the Russian real estate market for decades, that's why the Miss Universe Pageant was held there, sales to Russians also represent a disproportionate amount of Trump World's assets. (Trump's campaign chairman was especially vulnerable, apparently selling Russian access to Donald in return for money and future deals). Ego, well Donald Trump is the personification of unchecked Ego. Grudge, his hatred for Obama and anyone who crosses him has been on full display. I'm sorry that you have such problems with the facts and the truth. That information about the Russian bots came from Facebook, Google (they also got swamped by them) Twitter and Fox News.

  14455.  Kearneyfooser  It's been in court, so far what they've presented to the courts have been thrown out because Trump's lawyers don't seem to understand that affidavits, without accompanying evidence is not proof. U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Brann (Republican) wrote in his ruling throwing out Trumps case “One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption, so much that the court would have no option but to stop the certification even though it would impact so many people. “That has not happened.” Brann continues saying that the Trump campaign presented “strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations ... unsupported by evidence.” “In the United States of America, this cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state,” the opinion said. “Our people, laws, and institutions demand more.”

That would reduce the supplies getting to the Donbas front, forcing to turn back north to secure the supply line or face running out of ammo.

  14463. You can keep reinforcements from being moved by bombing the rail lines and bridges that are needed to move the armor. USAF/USN would opt to follow the DS protocol and spend a month or more focusing on neutralizing the defender's air defense systems and establishing air superiority over the area. When the ground war goes live, the first will be EA-18G's acting as pathfinders for F-35's and helicopters attacking SAM and EW radars along the coastline. This would be followed by the transport helicopters and ospreys landing troops behind them to secure bridges and strategic roads to prevent reinforcements. Only then will anyone actually try to take the beach and docks.

  14464. Former USAF SEAD pilots have mentioned that in Ukraine both Russian and Ukrainian pilots fly really low. Ukrainian SU-25's fly as low as 50ft, MiG-29 and SU-27 as low as 100ft and helicopter pilots fly as low as 10-20 ft. This is because both sides have medium and long range SAM's that cover the altitudes from 500ft up. The Russian Air Force is in force preservation mode, with keeping their bombers and fighters flying only over Russian controlled areas, only the SU-25's and helicopters venture out to the forward battlefield. If the USAF were operating in this area, you can pretty much guarantee that even the F-35's will be flying 100 ft off the ground, not as long as the Russians are operating their S-300's and their corresponding medium ranged mobile SAM's. Stealth does not make your plane invisible to radar, it just reduces the range that it can detect you and it does nothing against optically or laser guided missiles

  14465.  @hochmeisterr  As much as I want to believe that, a realistic outlook tells me that we would stay at least 300 miles away from the nearest known S300 radar and would only operate at extremely low altitudes and never coming close to within 100 miles of it. And if we have to send planes within 50-100 miles of an S-300, they'll be down in the weeds too, even the F-35's

  14556. If you can install the Scorpion in the A-10 and F-16's you can install it on an F-22. The question I have is why not mount an IRST on the nose, above or below the radar. The F-14D had an IRST mounted under the nose and it was tied to the F-14D's fire control system. This allowed the pilot to keep track of the target even if the radar lost contact.

The West, have the same information and receive the Ukrainians requests and determine that based on their own experience, draw up what the Ukrainians will need and proceed to provide 1/2 of what they know the Ukrainians need. Will they still demand that the Ukrainians accomplish the goal knowing that they have provided only half of what is needed?

  14588.  @mbaxter22  If it hits the top of the turret, it will kill the tank and crew, trick the Ukrainians found by accident is that camo nets will catch the missile and keep the contact fuse from hitting the tank and thus the missile does not explode, and just hangs there, like a fly on a spider's web. So ideally you set up the reinforced camo net at a preplanned firing position, drive the tank or arty in, shoot a couple of rounds, move to the next position and repeat.

Safest car on the market, as long as the battery does not get punctured by a rock. Personally I'd rather be able to stop in time, or maneuver out of harms way than just curl up inside the car and hope the cage holds. Best for the environment as long as you don't count how they get the battery and it's disposal. All vehicles made in the USA, so is a Honda, MB, Toyota, Nissan, Subaru.

  14617. Judge Matthew Brann United States Judge for the Middle District of Pennsylvania 11/21/2020 In this action, the Trump Campaign and the Individual Plaintiffs (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) seek to discard millions of votes legally cast by Pennsylvanians from all corners – from Greene County to Pike County, and everywhere in between. In other words, Plaintiffs ask this Court to disenfranchise almost seven million voters. This Court has been unable to find any case in which a plaintiff has sought such a drastic remedy in the contest of an election, in terms of the sheer volume of votes asked to be invalidated. One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption, such that this Court would have no option but to regrettably grant the proposed injunctive relief despite the impact it would have on such a large group of citizens. That has not happened. Instead, this Court has been presented with strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations, unpled in the operative complaint and unsupported by evidence. In the United States of America, this cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state. Our people, laws, and institutions demand more. At bottom, Plaintiffs have failed to meet their burden to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Therefore, I grant Defendants’ motions and dismiss Plaintiffs’ action with prejudice.

There was even an incident when an older gentleman in an F-4J had a 1v1 with an F/A-18C driver and he spent most of his time with the F/A-18 trying desperately and unsuccessfully to stay out of the F-4J driver's HUD and crosshairs.

The 5.56 has a velocity of about 856-993 m/s and 1,755-1859j of energy. the .308 has a velocity of 770-861m sec but 3,509-3.551 J. So no the 5.56 is not "more powerful than a hunting round"

Johnson admitted that Trump lost. And every single recount effort from Arizona, Penn, Georgia just reinforced that loss and in a couple of cases actually added more votes to Biden's vote totals.

The Ukrainian air force's sortie rate is not dictated by the threat of MANPADS but the lack of aircraft, half of it was non-operational prior to Feb 24 because of lack of spare parts. The Russian strikes against the bases destroyed all of those non-operational aircraft and a large portion of the operational ones. At this point the UkAF are averaging 1-2 sorties per aircraft most of it ground attack and all of the ground attack missions are low level sub 200ft missions.

The "guns of war" Remington 700 is not on any gun ban list and it's a gun that can do more damage and at 3x the range as the AR-15. There is a "guns of war" that can be owned without a license and shipped directly to your door via USPS or any delivery service because it's not considered to be a "gun".

  14810. Not really. First it needs an effective Close range air defense systems to protect it's vital infrastructures, with medium and long range SAM's to provide full coverage of Ukraine as well as project that GBAD into occupied Ukraine. This would provide a "safe environment for Ukraine to work with. Then it needs a lot more long range rockets to push the Russian supply, command and communications centers further east and to allow them to continue to interdict and degrade their supply and command and control. This way it will not matter that the Russians outnumber them 2-1, they will be short of food, fuel, ammo and can't effectively communicate to coordinate defensive or offensive operations.

If you want shut down the SAM radars for 10-20 minutes, the AGM-88 works fine, if you want to kill the SAM radars, use a Maverick, a CBU, 20mm or unguided rockets. Or a drone with hand grenades or a mortar round. Heck a guy with an RPG would do more permanent damage than a HARM.
    1
  14841.  @dougcoombes8497  Pick up Dan Hampton's book, he has first hand experience with killing SAM radars. His experience is if you want to get the SAM radar to go silent long enough for your strike package to pass through, use the HARM, if you want it dead, use a Maverick or a CBU.
    1
  14842.  @DeportAllMAGA2Ruzzia  No one is talking about flying into Russian territory or even Russian controlled Ukrainian territory. Don't think SEAD in the traditional aircraft killing SAM radars. Think using HIMARS to take out SAM radars that are within 30-60km to create a zone over your troops and the active battlefield for aircraft and helicopters to conduct CAS.

  14843.  @DeportAllMAGA2Ruzzia  Ukraine is one of the most monitored areas at this time, the US has satellites passing overhead and Elint aircraft and drones flying as close as the 12 mile border south of Crimea and we relay what the Ukrainians need to know at near real time. You think we don't know where every single SAM radar is? We've been plotting them since the start. Give the Ukrainians the right HIMARS rocket type and the target data and there won't be a functioning SAM radar within 100km of the forward battle area in occupied Ukraine

Now you can shorten that by bringing the tank crews to england and training them on the M1's owned by the US Army then have the now trained crews meet their tanks when they arrive at the Ukrainian border. But that will still take weeks.

  14886. More EV's equals greater electricity generation, more robust powerlines and transformers, means more money needed to build the infrastructure. In general EV's are heavier than their corresponding ICE equivalent ex The 2023 Mini Cooper is about 2769lbs the EV version with it's pathetic 32.6 kWh battery is 3,140lbs. This weight difference continues the larger car and the larger the battery. The new Tesla Roadster comes with a 200kWh batter which at current weight/kWh means that the ICE Koenigsegg Jesko is only 377lbs (171kg) heavier than the Tesla Roadster's battery, which means with the Roadster will be north of 4200lbs. So unless you are going to tax gasoline in order to pay for the EV's impact, you are taxing EV's\ Australia is the first country to tax EV's eventually ALL countries will tax EV's. In the US nearly every state does it and the Fed's will eventually tax ev's to pay for the needed infrastructure upgrades needed

  14890.  @simonmarcoux5879  Coming into the merge Maverick would have been at about 450-530kn. He would have been at max mil or at very least max cruise, cause he's not making the carrier in afterburner. So after the merge, he'll be about 2.5-3km ahead of the Su-57. Now there is the possibility of making it harder for the -57's IRST to track him by dropping to the deck, 10 or 20ft above the waves and kicking up a rooster tail of water. Don't know if that will work. So yeah, his best option is to grab the SU-57 by the belt, keep him as close as possible, conserve energy by turning just enough to drive for the bandit's deep six. And hope the the alert 5 or the CAP gets to him before he's out of gas.

  14967. Slow, The Ukrainians are losing about 20-30 tanks a month. That means by next December they would have lost 240-600 tanks which means that their tank strengh will be down to 100-200 tanks facing 1000-2000 Russian tanks. Fact is the Ukrainians need 300, they were not asking for them on a lark, they were asking for them because they've lost over 270 tanks already. Despite their words Germany still dithers. And I will not spare the Americans whose tanks will not arrive until next year when they have tanks that they can deliver Ukraine within two weeks, and they can train crews to fight in the tank and make field repairs within a month, thus they can have a battalion size force by March.

So Trump calling and talking to DOJ officials to find someone to launch fake investigations, telling them to just say that they found evidence of voter fraud and he and his Republicans will take care of the rest is according to the SCOTUS is immune. Trump calling the Georgia officials to "find him votes" may not be covered. But SCOTUS refused to elaborate further and wants the judges to make a ruling, have it appealed so they can take another 6 months or the end of the next SCOTUS term before making a ruling.

Oh, and the attention to detail, Rooster, closing up the ladder that Maverick used, climbing up the horizontal tail and walking on the back of the F-14 to get to the cockpit, looking for the breakers, the F-14A radar screen. The F/A-18 using the paddle to override the flight control and go past the F/A-18's 8.5 g limiter, Phoenix using the correct switch to try to start up her engine, the hand signal she gives to the deck crew. The low level ingress, something that almost every F/A-18 driver is familiar with starting with their first year as an F/A-18 pilot.

  14992. @Kuun Oooo  Oryx ID a T90 as one of the Russian loses back in March 2022 with the most recent T90 that was lost in January 2023. The Ukrainian have a captured T90 in service. Based on Oryx's confirmed losses, the Russian lose about 4 tanks for every Ukrainian tank that is lost.
    1
  14993.  @yellowtunes2756  Oryx does not count probables in it's count, only those that can be confirmed via photo, video, eye witness cross referenced against it's database and GPS coordinates to avoid repeats. As such the count published by Oryx is lower than either Russian or Ukrainian claims. Thus it is a fairly reliable log of the MINIMUM LOSSES from both sides. So if Oryx says this side has lost 14 of this type, that group has lost a minimum of 14 of this type, there are most likely more lost and just not counted because the they have not been found and reported yet or they've been reported but not yet verified or ownership is not yet identified. Tank ID can be done, the number of wheels, the tread, how it hangs, the hull. Unit ID is done via insignia and unit patches and hull number. Captured tanks often have national marking painted over and additional "Don't Shoot Me" markers painted on.

In the case of the SU-35, look at the nose, antennas and vertical tail.

  14996.  @yellowtunes2756  But you can trust what RT is telling? That Oryx numbers are a fraction of what are claimed by either side already tells you were they stand. But for you, I suspect you will never accept it because it does not match the narrative you want to hear.

  15008. They have those troops, they've had them since the begining, they had them when the Ukrainians went on the offensive in Kharkiv where you saw M113's, armored cars, MRAP's charging Russian positions, their crews using AT-4 and RPG's instead of tank cannons because they did not have enough T-62 and T-72's. Quit making excuses, if they had started training Ukrainians back in April they would already have trained crews by now. As it is, the Ukrainians have 6-10 weeks to get those tanks and have trained crews for them before the Russians will have the proper conditions to make another try for Kyiv from the north, or maybe this time they go for Lviv and cut off the Ukrainians from Poland and the west.

  15018.  @patrickmccrann991  A plane, is a plane, is a plane. 50-70% of the normal course can be tossed out the window because they already do have that knowledge or have been doing it for over a year. Greatest difficulty is do they speak and read English, after that is memorizing what switch to flip when and in what sequence and building that into the pilot's muscle memory. Most of that can be done in simulators. RAF said 6 weeks, recent US testing with current MiG-29 and SU-27 pilots say 4 months. The real issue are the maintainers. They need to teach them how to do basic repairs in rough conditions, none of this clean, peaceful workshops. It's pull the plane between two trees and get to work, we need that plane ready in 6 hours. For more complicated work, fly the plane to Poland.

Still others do meet their commitments like UK 2.07%, Poland 3.9%, Greece 3.01%, Finland 2.45%, Hungary 2.43%, Lithuania 2.54%, Estonia 2.73, Latvia 2.27. And Latvia sent 1% of it's GDP to help Ukraine not to mention it's entire helicopter fleet. Compared to the US's contribution of 0.3% of GDP and I don't see any reports of the US sending all of it's AH-64 helicopter gunships to Ukraine

  15055.  @MartinMaarva  Right now Ukraine has about 40-80 candidates based on pre-war Air Force staffing levels and english language proficiency (50-60% speak and read english).
    1
  15056.  @MartinMaarva  The Ukrainian air force had 2-3 times more pilots than it had aircraft, half of them speak read english as a 2nd or 3rd or 4th language. Between Feb 2 2022 and September 2022 the ratio of pilots to aircraft increase even more to 4-5 pilots per airframe. All of the candidates are fast jet qualified so they know how to fly already, most have 100-500hrs of combat flight time, most of it flying 450-600knots below 200ft. The F-16 is one of the easier planes to fly, easier than the MiG, easier than the T-38 or L-36. Most of the learning will be done in sim's, memorizing the switchology, getting the muscle memory, getting used to the HUD. With a few days of sim time, they'll be able to get an F-16 in the air, likely the 1st week. 4 months is the USAF estimate, 5 weeks is the RAF estimate, I'd listen to the RAF, they have experience in training foreign pilots while being bombed.

  15059.  @brandenburg2388  Those F-16's are in better shape than the MiG-29's and Su-27's and Su-24's that the Ukrainian Air Force has been flying and some of those were being used for spare parts when the war broke out and were put back into flying status by cannibalizing the other spare parts planes and those that sustained combat damage and had to be written off. and they are likely to be in better condition than the Russian planes some of which fell out of the sky during takeoff. Before the sale was canceled, the Dutch planes were to be sold to a PMC for use as aggressor aircraft. That means lots of flying lots of g's.

  15061. ​ @Roruoni if Russia can produce 1200 tanks new and old this year, their tank force will still be at a deficit as Russia lost over 2000 tanks
    1
  15062. ​ @Roruoni that us factory is only producing 40 refurbished tanks because that is what the factory needs to mentain production skills. At peak production, the US build 800+ M1A2's per year but that requires a multi year contract as the factory has to hire and train people and pre order large batches of parts from 3rd parties
    1
  15063. @Roruoni  The majority of the 800 number you mentioned are tanks pulled from storage. The proclamations by Medvedev and the company's production and contracts are two separate things. And yes, the company's contracted units are reflected in its actual production. It's almost like the company has to report accurate information to its clients and owners.

  15064. Unfortunately victory will not be swift, if it comes at all, it will be long, bloody and brutal and it has to be that way as the only way to bring it to a swift victory is to bring in the United States and that will result in a catastrophic loss that would make the Iraqi Army's loss pale in comparison. And this loss will force Russia to salvage it's pride with the only weapon it has that can match the west, it's nuclear arms. I do not write this to boast, but rather with a sober and somber heart. The path that the Ukrainians have chosen is a righteous one, but it is a path filled with sorrow and blood and many a long night.

The sound of the torpedo propellers can be heard for miles and the torpedo takes as much as 2 minutes to reach its target which would be deploying countermeasures and firing torpedoes on a return bearing.

  15067. The A-10's primary job is to cover the infantry and tanks as they fight. so they will be sent whenever US troops go to war. To put it bluntly, folks have been telling A-10 pilots that they have no place on the modern battlefield since the 1970's and their response to their critics has been to get in their planes, go where they are needed and kill and break things they are not supposed to be able to kill.

Ukraine is asking for aircraft that can deal with the MiG-31/Su-30/Su-35 threat. The MiG-29 does not have the radar nor the missiles that can do that. MiG-29 pilots are getting shot at by Russian aircraft that they can't see because they are still outside the MiG-29's radar range and if they survive the 1st 2 missiles launched at them, they can't do anything about it because their missiles don't have the range to hit the Russian jets.

But in this case, both Colorado courts, based on the evidence provided by the plaintif and the defendant (Trump) ruled that Trump had engaged in an insurrection as defined by the original authors of the constitutional amendment. This amendment was aimed at keeping former confederates from ever holding federal office and they intended it to apply to future insurrectionists. Oh btw. Orban, the guy Trump has been praising as being the ideal leader, has banned his opposition from running against him by limiting candidates who have been living continually in the country for 20 years and has given himself complete and total immunity from all prosecution for life. Sound familiar??

Here's the summary December 14 2022 - In the preliminary hearing, the San Francisco district attorney’s office introduced audio and video evidence against David DePape, the man accused of attacking Paul Pelosi. But it has refused to release the evidence to the media. Evidence introduced in the preliminary hearing against DePape included audio from a 911 call made by Paul Pelosi, portions of body camera video taken by the two police officers who responded to the Pelosis’ house, portions of video of a police detective interviewing DePape and footage captured by Capitol Police Department surveillance cameras. Jan 12, 2023 — A coalition of news organizations, including The Associated Press, has filed a court motion in San Francisco seeking to access evidence January 25, 2023, 5:17 PM SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Footage of the attack on former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband will be released to the public after a judge on Wednesday denied prosecutors' request to keep it secret.

Well we never did create a stable government, that would have require commitment that the US citizenry did not have. Well we got what the US public, left and right wanted. We are out of Afghanistan, The Taliban are back in power, women have been removed from government, from work places and schools. We got the result that US voters wanted.

For the US, we dispose of millions of tons of ammunition every year. Everything from missiles to 5.56. We pay contractors to do that safely, we don't sell that to the civilian market. It would cost the US less to ship them to the Ukrainians than to pay a contractor to dispose of it here in the US. If the US house were to vote on Ukraine aid alone, it would pass with over 3/4 of the house voting to pass. And right now, only 1 person is blocking aid to Ukraine, and that is Mike Johnson. And he's doing it by refusing to put it to a vote.

And Russia, it's fielding a larger army, but it's best units have been decimated (look up decimated), they've lost equipment at 2-4 times what the Ukrainians have lost theirs, they are now getting T-62's to replace lost T-80's 72's and T-90's

  15258. @Michael Kopischke Russia has lost (visually confirmed) 1,585 tanks and the Ukrainians lost 436 tanks in about the same 10 months period. Ukraine started out with 630 tanks, it lost about 449 tanks (destroyed or captured), 360 tanks were donated another 530 were captured (can't determine how many of the captured tanks are functional enough to be immediately put back into service), they have another 1,000 T-64 and T-72 in storage but getting them back in service is difficult. Ukraine is at war and in war you lose equipment, in Ukraine's case it loses about 44 tanks a month. So it needs 44 tanks a month to maintain it's combat strength and on top of that, it needs another 400 to have enough heavy armor to punch through during the campaign season.

  15260. @Michael Kopischke 500+ of those T-64 are in storage, no word if they are being put back into service or if they are being used as spare parts, it depends on their physical state and only 720 were active, 280 have been destroyed or captured. as to when Russia is running out of Tanks, It depends on how many they can actually physically bring out of storage. So far the answer is mostly T-62's and a smattering of T-72's and T-64's from storage seen on rail cars. Not many T-80's or T-90's. And the Russians need 150/month. We don't know how much of the Russian stored inventory is functional, how much is just scrap metal, how much is useful only as spare parts and how much can be made usable with a few weeks or months of repairs.

  15270. @buzzkillean  that's nice, the F-16 can't turn at above 5g without losing energy. The higher the g above 5.5, the faster it bleeds speed to below 450 knots where the plane's flight control computer starts reducing the angle of attack and thus g and turn rate. This was how F-14 and Hornet pilots would get kills on them.
    1
  15271. @moistman69  425-455 knots not 310-380. 310-380 is the regime of the F-14 and F/A-18. You can tell any given aircraft's the best sustained turn rate by looking up its stall speed and its minimum landing speed. But yeah, folks forget that more g = more drag, and few if any aicraft can pull 9g without losing energy, never mind sustain a 9 g turn

  15273.  @Jason-pq5mq  Yep, and building the g's means heavier airframe, or if you use lighter but stronger materials means much much more expensive airframe, more powerful, heavier more expensive engine. And pretty soon you'll have an airplane that double triple the cost of the manned aircraft. And because it's more expensive, you buy fewer of them and you can't afford having the AI act recklessly.

    1
  15374.  @FunnyBunny-pd5xx  The number of US F-16's being used to train Ukrainian pilots is irrelevant as they are simply put into the training squadrons who have their own aircraft used for training, F-16 B/D's so the student can fly with the instructor in the back seat, and F-16A/C for the solo parts. As to future availability, the USAF is purchasing F-35's at the rate of 42-44 aircraft per year. This means that 24-32 F-16's will become available every year.

  15376.  @FunnyBunny-pd5xx  The Procurement of the F-35 has nothing to do with the Russian war against Ukraine, the procurement numbers are driven by budget availablity. The F-16 retirement is driven by F-35 procurement and F-16 airframe age. What happens to the retired F-16's that have flight hours remaining is that they are either sent to the Guard, sold to allies or we pay someone millions of dollars to make the plane ready for deep storage or strip it for parts. Sending the plane to Ukraine as a combat aircraft saves the US money.

  15395. Peter Getinard. A. That's Chicago, it's called an outlier, there's something else going on there and I suspect it has it's roots from back when Richard M. Daley was mayor. Chicago and the area around it have had issues with police and race relations going back decades, heck even back when I was there one of the towns near Chicago, Mount Prospect got sued for targeting Hispanics for traffic stops and tickets. B. It does not change the actual recorded data, the most deadly years to be a police officer was 1918-1938. 2018 might finish with 10% more police officers dead compared to 2017 (extrapolating from current data) but even that is lower then the past 20yr average of 161. To put it another way 2018 is looking to be the 60th out of 74 most deadly year in policing since 1918. The worst year was 1930 when 310 police officers were killed while on duty.

  15396. Peter Getinard 10% is 12 police officers more than in 2017 when 129 police officers were killed. For reference the baseline "Normal" is 161-162 The 74th and 73rd (least most dangerouse Years) were at the end of WWII 1945 and 1946, when a large number of young men were away outside the USA and then in 1946 when the US was experiencing a massive back to work expansion. As far as danger is concerned. Police officer does not even make the 10 most dangerous jobs in America.
