Except those of us that have, ya know, been there.

Quit starring your own posts shit bag.

That’s the most moronic and hypocritical statement I’ve seen posted here in awhile. Congrats. I gave you a star simply based on the exceeding high level of idiocy you’ve achieved. Well done!

Wasn’t he supposed to do this eight years ago? Interesting timing there Obama.

Brutal compared to what? Any member of the Armed Forces that has gone through a SERE school in the last fifteen years has been subjected to them. It’s not fun. It’s far from “brutal”.

Undermining goes back literally thousands of years. Other than waiting out a besieged enemy, it’s the oldest form of siege warfare.

I’m in! Think of the applications. Man what I wouldn’t give to install these on America’s northern border. Fucking Canadian immigrant scum!

You should care. If you aren’t smart enough to realize that Gawker continually cross posts one blog to another then nobody here can help you.

Hahhaha. Wow guy.

Not positive on this but i highly doubt the Saudis have the Igla-S. It’s only been in service with the Russian military for about ten years. I think there has been a few exports but it’s been to Venezuela, Armenia, Slovakia, Syria, Azerbaijan, and the like. Supposedly they sold some to Libya, and it is though most of…

They’re single shot systems. Shoot and toss the tube. I’m not sure if they could be reloaded at the factory, but they certainly can’t be in the field.

That’s completely how I feel. What Obama hopes for and is pursuing isn’t really an option.

Maybe not necessarily Assad personally. But yes. I don’t think removing a Russian puppet is an option. If he could dramatically curb the fighting and bring about peace, I don’t think NATO would be too upset about letting Russia keep it’s client state. Hell I wouldn’t.

I agree about the MANPAD threat.

Historically it really hasn’t. But this one sure has the potential to. If it was the US handing them out that would be one thing. Only a small percentage of our proxies would probably receive them. Even that would certainly have plenty of risks but if the Saudis are handing them out it’s a different ballgame.

Don’t agree with this. Firstly, this isn’t Afghanistan. Russia’s aircraft are far more capable of protecting themselves and deploying munitions from positions that are either outside the MANPAD envelope completely or on the fringes of it. They’ll score victories but it won’t be enough to change the balance of power…

I adore that F-117 with the American flag paint scheme.

A few years ago, the boys from Top Gear were in Nevada testing an Aston, Viper, and LFA (IIRC). There’s a little clip where they all stop and watch and watch a B-2 operating out of Nellis. What is in that episode isn’t all that great, but I did see some outtakes/cut footage from that episode where they were talking…

“A smart move, as unless the USAF starts getting the public and much of Washington behind the program it will likely not survive the weapon system butcher shop that is Capitol Hill.”

Few years ago? Which airshow?
