  1. I’ll take your word on it, still the airplane nerd in me doesn’t like seeing them put into storage On the general subject of guard fighters, the F-15EX and huge pork barrel project to take the guts of the Gripen E and put them into a resurrected F-20 Couldn't help myself
  2. Watch your rental houses if between leases ‘Invade Abandoned Houses’: Venezuelan Migrant Promotes Taking Advantage of ‘Squatters Rights’ in Viral Video https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2024/03/21/invade-abandoned-houses-venezuelan-migrant-promotes-taking-advantage-of-squatters-rights-in-viral-video/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I guess we could jam in response I’m fine with that but not sure what else non kinetic we could do It’s bullshit and I’m not sure being the bigger man and not retaliating (openly) is a viable COA going forward We just seem to be content letting assholes screw around with us Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Right on cue… China Tells Hamas Chief It Is ‘Keen on Relations’ in First Meeting Since October 7 https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2024/03/20/china-tells-hamas-chief-it-is-keen-on-relations-in-first-meeting-since-october-7/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. True but with performance advantages of the 22 if the money could be found / printed, I think the older variants would bring something the 35 can’t Not trashing the 35 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Thread derailing question but could this block get modified to primarily focused on a different mission set? LO Weasels?
  7. IL 76 sales video: You have an EO/IR sensor on the front, do you really need the Nav station below?
  8. Not exactly civil traffic but close enough for this thread: https://www.twz.com/news-features/gps-jamming-of-u-k-defense-secretarys-jet-highlights-russias-regional-ew-activities Interesting read with good embedded links
  9. They knew it was a bad deal for the west all along, some of them now are expressing regret… https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2024/03/11/nobel-economist-reverses-support-migration/
  10. Good stuff, not the right system then but the idea, a relatively cheap per shot system matched with a Hail Mary short range system (DE, guided AAA, suicide drone)
  11. Air to ground news https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/ar-BB1jFMjO Could you adapt a Stinger (or similar type missile) to provide a short range defense to these stand off weapons? Considering these are relatively inexpensive and deployed in decent numbers you would need a defense against them similar in cost to avoid an economic exchange imbalance
  12. Excellent point, now someone more articulate than I on this forum needs to expand on that observation and offer a retort to the WOR article… On drones, RPAs and eventually UCAVs… we should have been testing more systems there ala the Spanish Civil War to get ready for the looming big one (maybe)… I’m still not sure continuing to arm and encourage Ukrainian operations to recover territory now held by Russia is the long term best strategy for the West / Ukraine but if your going to supply and support then get the most out of it that you can
  13. Stirring the pot a bit fellas… it fires up the cadre and keeps us just the right amount of assertive Concur with the prevailing sentiments but I do think we need to get more public and actually doctrinally state that the USAF wants to lead the other services in rapid deployment and advancement of all UAS, small to large and controlled to autonomous
  14. This article is 50% relevant (maybe)… https://warontherocks.com/2024/03/drones-the-air-littoral-and-the-looming-irrelevance-of-the-u-s-air-force/
