Very much so

Turkey are just a bunch of massive hyprocrites

Russia should edge Greece into applying Turkish standards for a shoot down.

Doesn’t make it any less of a propaganda strike and a show of force more than anything else.

I probably shouldn’t have singled out Lockheed on this, as they are not the only one doing it. I was talking bout the need to slap “XXth Generation” to anything, from tanks to submarines trying to cash in the “fad” of the 5th Gen fighters, pretty much diluting the meaning of the term.

Those Mi-24 are Syrian, as the Russians don’t have Hind-D in Theater, only Mi-24P and they sure as hell won’t be using them like that.

At this point 5th and 6th gen are mostly marketing buzzwords and largely irrelevant.

I would argue Russia was far more entrenched in the region during the days of Nasser’s Pan-arabism...

The US Navy has used Tomahawks against ISIS before. Should we consider them a dog and pony show as well when the USAF and Navy aircraft have free reign over the region from the miriad of bases they have, and where they fly with as much freedom as the Russians do?.

It is in russian, though

Yep. Another sub caught unfinished by the fall of Soviet Union. Except this time they decided to turn it into a mother ship for Russia’s special purpose nuclear submarines

Speaking of Russia, if anyone has ever wondered how a Delta IV SSBN would look without its hump full of missiles, this is it...

You say that as if the Kuznetsov is some key part of Russia’s power projection and deterrence when it really is this

That Hayden Christensen doesn’t like sand and sunlight?

It is actually used as chaff/flares dispenser nowadays, anyway, so don’t worry about the math

I always remember that story about the KGB and Beirut’s wave of kidnappings in the 80’s whenever the Russians talk about hunting...

I find it troubling people insist calling Sanders a “socialist” when he just really is just run-of-the-mill Social Democrat in everybody else’s(not in the US) political spectrum.

For those wondering, this is the coverage area for the radars

The Swiss are mature when it comes to gun, plus know their hability to be neutral depends on it.

ISIS is now in Libya.
