Guess the bright side is it's better to be in a propaganda video for your own side versus the enemy

After what he's been through I bet an O-6 retirement looks really good about now.

Might explain why he ended up so far from the pilot. Pilot floating lazily with the breeze under his canopy with the WSO smoking in like a meteor.

I just saw it. Did he really have a partial chute malfunction!? Hope he bought a lottery ticket

Definitely looks better than the last one I carried lol.

I have an identical set-up. I have the pistol next to my Surefire and the glowing rear sights make it easy to find both the pistol and the flashlight in the dark.

As the process now cuts both ways I'm trying to imagine a prosecutor who would bring a case that can be undone every time there's a reconciliation. Hopefully ATF will issue rules that say they're no longer bothering to enforce the NFA for suppressors and SBRs at least at the federal level. Crazy times.

Guess we'll see how 2A friendly our current administration is with regards to an appeal. One thing I've noticed is governments HATE to give up power no matter who's in charge. Prosecutors like to keep statutes like these on the books to hold over certain defendants to coerce please deals.

SPECIAL REPORT: When Florida police act like they’re working in California - Second Amendment Foundation Something about Florida and SBRs. Sucks for this guy but it may make a decent test case, but I suspect the second it looks like the government will lose in court they'll drop the charge to moot the case. Or the tried-and-true plea bargain with the no-appeal rights deal.

Or decides to make one the size of a Shahed track the ILS/FAF on a low IFR day. Maybe it gets picked up on radar in time.

Russia Faces Growing Fuel Crunch as Ukrainian Strikes Knock Out Refineries I'm may still be shouting at the clouds but if Ukraine can do it then I figure we can too.

My biggest fear for situations like this is that the cops realize they effed up and drop a bag to justify everything and avoid making him a millionaire. Again, the presence of cameras has helped mitigate that in modern times but still.

I so hope it's 4. (Get down to business after the mid-terms) Our politicians are largely oblivious to the fact that their negative comments are watched closely by the IRGC and like many of our conflicts since 1945 our wars are not lost on the battlefield but in the court of public opinion. Iranian oil refining/transportation infrastructure needs to start having a run of industrial accidents especially after the first week in November.

I certainly wouldn't take Kharg Islang given it would leave our troops in a horribly exposed position. However, I would emphasize to Iran that if we feel we are being forced to take a deal we don't like Kharg and anything else related to oil transport or refining in Iran will be made a smoking pile of wreckage. On that note even when they try to rebuild, we'll keep hitting it so good luck with that. It doesn't take a lot to destroy refining capacity. Back to one of my earlier comments Israel is the perfect proxy as they are very capable, really don't care about US politics and give us all kinds of plausible deniabilty.

On board the 1st electric plane Not directly related to the current conflict but I can see these especially the EVTOL version eventually finding a place on the battlefield. Greatly reduced noise signature. All about how far we can push state of the art for the battery power/energy density now.
