My message in an interview with @Newsweek:All of us must wake up to the new reality. Russia is a pariah state. There's no room for flirting with the idea of resuming business as usual. Our joint pressure against Russia must increase, not decrease.https://t.co/lFZrGYSX08
Russia is still able to produce 67 missiles per month, according to estimates of Ukraine defence intelligence (HUR). It used missiles made in 2023 for recent attacks on Kyiv. This also means Russia still receives foreign-made components, despite sanctionshttps://t.co/L2cJNAzLHU

I read this whole thing for “Operation 
Military Kids” and it never mentions that the F-18 has two vertical stabilizers and the F-16 one, which is how I’d tell any kid to tell them apart. 

One seat, one tail, one engine.

F/A-18 has two of each (although there's also a single seat version).

Appreciate the insight, and not arguing with you, but wouldn't that analogy apply more to big-picture strategic weapons (nukes and their delivery platforms) than good old-fashioned "blow up the enemy's shit" platforms?

Because even if Russia "loses," if it remains the same old shitty Russia, it has proven that it WILL try shit like this again.  AND, other nations may be looking at their neighbors thinking that THEY'LL pull a Russia, too.  Which makes battlefield weapons like HIMARS, and air defense like Patriots, the things you definitely want to have (oh, and western tanks and APCs, and ATGMs as well).  I'm thinking of India/Pakistan, and Taiwan, and South Korea, and even NATO states like Poland, Germany, Finland -- aren't they looking to ramp up their supply of all of those things, to let their potential adversary know that if they try to pull a Russia, they're going to get their shit pushed in?

Sounds like you’re completely agreeing with him. If they can just buy up existing stuff, because it’s been proven to work against Russia, then they don’t have as much incentive to invest in developing brand new tech.

If you want a guy to climb up on a jet engine filled with gas, hauling around explosives while being shot at, you need that someone who is a bit of an asshole to do it. They need to believe they’re a bit better than the rest. Otherwise you couldn’t get anyone to do something so crazy.

My uncle was a fighter pilot in Vietnam. He was a bit tweaked before he went or so I’m told. Always an adrenaline junky. I can verify he was a bit of an asshole. Just a touch, but enough to note.

Reminds me of The Great Santini.   My Dad was a career NCO and had a lot of that attitude, as well.

Why does this feel like a cash for Vipers deal. 

US "Why are y'all flying around in 30 year old jets? How about you trade in your 16's and we will upgrade you to 35's. Think of it like a trade in and think of all the taxes you'll save."

Sounds like a win, win, WIN!

That's exactly what will happen. We can also sell it as foreign aid apart from Ukraine, which increases the overall funds available to support Ukraine.

Russia’s deputy foreign minister has warned Western countries of “enormous risks” if Ukraine is provided with F-16 fighter jets, Russian state media TASS reported Saturday.

The comments come after US President Joe Biden gave his backing for Ukrainian pilots to be trained to fly F-16s, reversing his previous position. 

Quote

Responding to the move, Alexander Grushko said: “We see that the Western countries are still adhering to the escalation scenario. 

“It involves enormous risks for themselves. In any case, this will be taken into account in all our plans, and we have all the necessary means to achieve the set goals.”

So threatening to nuke NATO allies on the reg is not escalation, and it is not escalation to claim you are going to conquer the Balkans, the rest of Ukraine, and parts of Finland and Poland, all but Ukraine NATO allies.

Knew a guy that flew a Warthog in Iraq during the first Gulf War  Actually flew over the “Highway of Death” strafing Iraqis and their equipment retreating from Kuwait. He described it as a turkey shoot. No ground fire to worry about and just cherry picking targets, trying to inflict as much death and damage as he could.

Just on pilot talk, I’ve always loved this story from an sr-71 pilot

 

A bit off topic. Lived in Honduras in the 80's and when the SR-71's would make their runs into Nicaragua all the windows in our school would rattle. Being one of the few Americans who knew what was going on (thanks Mom) I would sit back and smile. Dad got me a 1:32 scale model to build for Christmas and it was my pride and joy. 

Thanks for sharing. Back to task. 

Fuck Russia.

A-10s are meme planes at this point.  Yeah, the Russians are a bunch of dipshits, but even a conscript sitting in an S-300 trying to figure out what the big red button does is incredibly dangerous for them.  Add the fact that it isn't a USAF pilot in there with a shitload of training and flight hours, and...eh...

 

F-16s are more useful, assuming we don't give them totally clapped out pieces of shit.  E:  Wait, where ARE the F-16s coming from?  They're not dragging them out of the desert are they?

The first batch is apparently coming from the Netherlands. The US is now allowing re export by allies, but has not yet announced we are giving F16s as well

I doubt we will unless/until Congress appropriates more funds. It would just be too much of a hit. We can be creative with it right now.

Almost all of the fighter coalition nations are already flying or have ordered F-35s. I think maybe only Portugal hasn’t yet.

Igor Girkin “Strelkov” in reference to Bakhmut.“The winter-spring joint campaign of the RF Armed Forces and Wagner to exterminate our infantry on the Donetsk sector of the front ended successfully.”#Bakhmut #Ukraine #Donetsk— (((Tendar))) (@Tendar)
Girkin says the Bakhmut battle was unnecessary and turned out to be Phyrric (longread). He notes that all Russian forces are now exhausted while trying to achieve at least some sort of victory for propaganda purposes, and Ukraine is now in a position to deal several strikes where…

7 months later and he's proud! Impressive.

- With these advances, UA forces will take control over high rise buildings and destroy forces occupying them.- This further degrades the control of RU over the city approach routes.- There is a plan for destroying all RU forces in Bakhmut.2/2

So they are creating the barrel around the fish. 
 

but, of course, why would you announce that?  Maybe it’s a feint. Or maybe it’s fait accompli at this point.
