@Ifraneljadida And maybe a lesson for the bankers, too? A reminder that life is about more than money, maybe. I’m not at all saying that you didn’t absorb this lesson long ago. Indeed, you exemplify it. 👍 I am (or was) a U.S. conservative that has learned a lot over the past dozen years about what unites America as well as what divides it. The bonds of democracy and love of country are stronger than the forces that undermine our society. (And yes, I fully give capitalism its due as the greatest engine humanity has yet built. It’s not an ideology, it’s not a religion, it’s a social technology that moves us forward.) Your thoughts?

@MyGeorg13 You’re actually making an argument to push them back to Chernobyl and no farther, letting the damned Russian soldiers dig in for a few months. And they’d be truly damned for decades. They and their families would forever curse Putin and the generals , and this story would get back to the Russian people.

The following is not serious, but it would be funny if there was truth to it: 1/3rd of the Russian generals work for NATO countries, 1/3rd want to get in on the NATO deal, and the last 1/3rd of the generals suspect something is going on, but are too involved in personal rivalries among their 1/3rd to do anything about it.

Re: limitations. It can be refueled in flight, but it can’t be resupplied with ammo in flight. 😄 (If it can be, that’s classified!)

WRT to your last point, I’m pretty sure that its domestic politics. Hungary has an election soon, and they’re very reliant in Russian gas. I also wonder what weapons are being delivered on the QT, without the publicity of drones, ATGMs, and MANPADS. NATO is not unfamiliar with concealment and distraction operations. Perhaps MiGs are already entering Ukraine secretly. The whole ongoing controversy would be great cover. Edit: I forgot to add that Hungary’s dissent from NATO unification is also valuable. It counters the myth that NATO is one country’s puppet. In fact, I think that half of NATOs efforts are diplomatic missions among its members to decide what to do and remain unified.

@markusmaximus6636 Hi there, Putzi.

FWIW, the CIA will not be first in line for that jammer. Either NSA or DIA will get first shot. Very likely that a private company such as Raytheon will be the one to do the first full analysis. Remember, although U.S. intelligence agencies co-operate (or are supposed to), each one has a lane (although lanes can and do overlap). Signals Intelligence is the NSA lane, with some overlap with DIA. Raytheon is a big military contractor that has a lot of EW experience, which is why I think they will be the first to dissect it.

I’m shocked, shocked to find there is corruption in the FSB! https://youtu.be/SjbPi00k_ME (clip from Casablanca)

I’ve worked with a couple of Marines in the movie business. One guy was about two weeks after his separation, and he needed about a week to make the adjustment to working on a film crew. Once he adjusted, he was one of the best workers as long as we feed him crayons. Just kidding, he didn’t eat crayons, but he was the one of the best at anticipating moves and changes. He made me better, even though I had a little more experience. The other guy was still a sgt. in the reserve, and he was a model leader and problem solver. He was “squared away”, and he took care of the people he supervised. Good boss. In the first video, I think the guys had good environmental awareness, so they didn’t have to go looking for cover because they had already noted it. They could go towards it when the firing started. They were paying attention before contact. I have no combat experience, but I’ve lived most of my life inside cities and not in the best neighborhoods. You learn to keep your head on a swivel if you don’t want trouble. Staying safe is about situational awareness and anticipation.

This is why I prefer butter over margarine. It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature!

Don’t call the crew that. There’s lots of heterosexual guys in the Air Force. Edit: my mistake, I hadn’t gotten to the snack break part. My point still stands, tho.

Is wingtip spiral a fancy name for orbiting over the target? Flying in a circle?

I really like his cope, but I’m not sure how effective it is against Javelin missiles. Maybe he should put some reactive armor inside. 🤯

@silent_stalker3687 What a load of horseshidt. Russia has announced that it intends to take the south and eastern parts of the country as their immediate goal, since their original goal of decapitating the Ukrainian government failed. If they were to succeed (which I doubt they can), they would create a new separatist region to provide a new excuse to attack whatever remains of Ukraine. There’s no real difference between Russia wanting to take over Ukraine vs Russia wanting to take over MOST of Ukraine.

@kelat32 Yeah, it’s domestic politics. Whoever gets elected, they will re-open airspace after the election.

Not really effective against cities. That said, it’s very effective against buildings in cities.

I think sending the Abrahms is a non-starter. It’s just not going to happen. WRT to training on other platforms, it’s possible. But it will take considerable time, even to bring an experienced pilot of one aircraft to full combat effectiveness on another aircraft. Indeed, this is an issue with the Polish MiGs. They share the same airframe as the Ukrainian MiGs, but cockpit layout, avionics, capabilities, etc all need retraining that would take months, if not years. The same goes for western aircraft, but even more so. (And this is why the Polish MiGs can’t be sent quickly to Ukraine. They need to be reconfigured as Ukrainian MiGs which takes time. That is to say, if this is being done. Who knows? 😉)

Spooky was the name of the gunship based on the C-47 transport plane (AC 47, naturally). I think it was also named “Puff the Magic Dragon” which was the title of a popular folk song and also because of the way the gunship rained down fire on the enemy.

@MrKakibuy Sure, we know what Russia’s state owned media will try to do, but surviving Russian soldiers will return, dead or alive, and will tell the truth (again, dead or alive). Russian mothers will have questions, and the Russian state owned media’s answers will wear thin.

You know your doctrine. The thing I found interesting about the gunships is the technique of orbiting/loitering over a battlefield, and circling above the target, pouring on the fire until the threat is gone. Super useful if your position is under attack.

A-10 is fine at a distance, using its missiles. In fact, strafing is undesirable if there’s even a hint of SAMs or MANPADS in the area. Just because you might survive doesn’t mean you want to roll the dice. Honestly, after being an A 10 fanboy for many years, I think its day is past. Also, it’s a sitting duck without air superiority.
