  1. Didn’t they accidentally crash Su-57 while showing off?

  2. Su-57 has all sorts of claims but it’s wonderful abilities (just like Armarta tank) basically do not exist.

  3. During 1930s USN doctrine for submarines was to keep out of trouble. Even using the periscope to simulate torpedoes was considered too risky. The institutionalised over caution was eventually pushed aside but not before the utterly awful Mk14 torpedo had let targets go free while putting Americans at great risk for little gain.

  4. Plutonium cores of nuclear bombs have to be extremely pure material. However the natural decay changes the isotope structure. If not replaced, these older cores will just fizzle rather than explode.It’s likely that will happen to all of Russian nuke bombs. They are all very old.

  5. Fuel is the major logistical problem for any army. Russia just sends it - need it or not. Until Himars takes out the supply trains.

  6. There are plenty of excellent channels that already cover the subject. Do some searches.

  7. Russia found the air defence button but nobody was watching the radar. If they did launch SAMs they didn’t work. And after the missiles hit they couldn’t find any working fire extinguishers.

  8. There was/is no fundamental difference between European fascists and the Soviets. Putin invasion and razing of Ukraine shows his Russia is a continuation of the same.

  9. If China does hit a US base or capital ship, the US people will demand an overwhelming response. It would be Pearl Harbor II followed by Midway on steroids.

  10. In 1982 ARA General Belgrano was a US Brooklyn Class light cruiser bought by Argentina. She carried 15 six inch guns and eight 5 inch guns. Who would have given the Royal Navy and Falklands invasion fleet very hard time. Belgrano was sunk by an RN hunter killer nuclear submarine HMS Conqueror. The sub fired three 21 inch Mk8 torpedoes (conventional, non-guided). Two of them hit the ship. A 12000 ton WW2 era light battleship was taken out by just two weapons not dissimilar to those used by both sides during WW2. The massive difference was the stealth of nuclear submarines. They can move underwater at least as fast as any surface vessel and even the very best sonar operators struggle find them.

  11. US healthcare is excellent for the high value specialist stuff. It’s far less good for the important but mundane issues.

  12.  @marie-pieredwards1532  The U-Boat was running submerged with diesels on snorkel.

  13. Angel Diez Ovelar The Nazis did not exist before 1925. Significantly after WW1 ended. The Nazis never would have gained traction if France had not been allowed to crush the post war German economy. WW1 would never have happened if U.K. had kept its nose out of a European argument.

  14. wannabe to wasabe Nobody never needs to be lost. Simply turn around and retrace your track until you do know where you are. Simples :D

  15. Does USA have anti satellite space craft in orbit. Of course not.

  16. Chinese computer chips are good enough for a smart fridge or a lightbulb. They cannot make anything useful for smartphones or computers. Taiwan is at least 7 hours sailing time from China. If the Chinese somehow manage to land an effective army on Taiwan, those chip plants will be destroyed and the expertise spirited away.

  17. Lots of small ships each putting out the electronic noise could decoy incoming missiles.

  18. The occupational radiation limit is 20 mSv per year. However people living on the south side of Caspian Sea live with 260 mSv yet have no pathological issues. The question we do not chose to answer is at what level does ionising radiation become harmful? We simply do not know because there is no research being done.

  19. The very definition of Black holes is they do not change their output because they don’t put anything out. If we are seeing increased radiation it must be a star that’s got too close. There are so many out there it’s no surprise if a few bump into each other and get knocked into black hole.

  20. Six months later... how did it go? Where’s your evidence of ET?

  21. Baron don’t give them ideas. Even a 1mm black hole would happily eat the whole planet.
