Legend has it that he was out of SAPR currency and had an out of regs stashe.  Given that information, I'm not sure how he could have been an effective fighter pilot.

All things end, if Putin doesn't go NBC with his army outnumbered since babushkas armed with lethal pickle jars now are also armed with AK-47s.  Their budget most likely pocketed by Oligarchs and Generals instead of being spent on training and equipment, an NCO corps in name only is probably the reason why so many Russian Generals are being killed with nobody up front to maintain discipline and keep the troops on point. My question is what will happen to us when it is realized by voters in Peoria that the big bad bear is a paper tiger. Will DOD get smaller, and the budget goes to peaceful pursuits? Just think of the lower-class kids receiving a great education by well-paid and respected teachers, the horror.

The US military needs to find this guy and give him a job.

There's currently a minor Wikipedia editing battle to give "Igor from Ukraine" status as a current operator of the Tor Missile System 😆

Here's a photo snip from a previous edit to the page...I for one stand with Igor ✊🇺🇦

How hard is it to wet lease a B-52, crew and load of ALCMs to Ukraine 🇺🇦? Does that count as an act of aggression on our part

"Time to let the American broomstick fly and hear the sounds of freedom". You know even on days when I've almost given up on this place, some girl calling the countdown total restores my faith in one sentence.

At least their drones are not catching Taliban fighters having man love Tues with farm animals. I could have done without that.

I remember two very weird stories told in bars. First was a guy talking about getting a BJ from a bottle calf. Never thought anything could top that until years later a guy trying to explain how you could fuck a chicken without killing it. Didn't hang around for the full explanation of that. Iv'e been drunk enough to think some pretty stupid things were good ideas but never been drunk enough to even think about something like that.

Wheeew!  Thank you for correcting that.  I thought I had been living in sin this whole time.

Teachers aren't the main problem with our education system from what I've seen.  Teaching AFJROTC at a high school now and a heck of lot of parents don't care one iota about their kid's education or whether Sally studies or Johnny turns in his homework.  There is only so much a teacher can do to make a student take the class seriously, take notes, study, do the homework, etc.  The parents need to make Johnny or Sally do that.  Rant switch off...

You obviously don't have pre-pubescent boys. You'd be more inclined to make a caveman do something. I got to the point with my 5th grader where I just told him that the choice is his to do his homework, but when he turns 18, the choice is mine as to whether or not I allow him to continue to suck on the proverbial tit or I make him hit the road. He ain't living in my basement.

Putin is obviously not a fan of the Marky Mark version of The Italian Job:

I can't find a way to post a new thread so maybe this could be moved?

I'm wondering what the feasibility would be of dropping medications or critical supplies from a B2 or other stealth platform with internal storage bays over Ukraine. Could this be done with a HALO parachute system?

So let me get this straight…you want to fly nuclear-capable US bombers over Ukraine, directly into Russian IADS, and somehow HALO airdrop cargo from an internal weapons bay?

Are you actually a member of the United States Air Force in some capacity? Please tell me no 🤞

My expert recommendation is to just put that stuff on trucks and drive it in from Poland but I’m just spitballing here…

Easy his intentions are pure, but yes let's just truck it in lol. 

 

Does the US have a land based cruise missile system? I know the army was playing with some anti ship missiles. Seems to me rolling a couple of those across the border from Poland would solve a lot of problems....but maybe start WW3.

No need to risk a B-2 - The Air Force wants $48 million to drop commandos into battle from orbit

Anyone remember Col John Warden and his Five Rings...he was the architect of the first Gulf War Air Campaign and in follow on work advocated for food bombing.
