Honestly, 1/2 the war mongers here are too stupid to get irony. They take what they’re told at face value. We spent $500 million on training for the “moderate rebels”. We have nothing to show for it. Just like the entire Iraq war. Well not nothing. We got 10’s of thousands of ruined American soldiers out of the deal…

I’m starting to think “Allahu Akbar” is maybe the Islamic short-hand equivalent of,

i can’t believe it took rounds coming his way for him to figure out what was happening. “hey look, he’s going to considerable effort to point the nose directly at us...wonder why he would do that?”

Make out with Jacques Cousteau’s wife.

Seriously do they ever not say that!? Breakfast, lunch, dinner, fucking a goat, getting your balls shot off, running around with an AK pointed in the air...it’s all the same apparently.

“oh hey, look at that 29. Man, its coming right for us. HOLY FUCK”

According to the 2nd amendment, I should be allowed to have one of these.

This meshes well with everything I know (not much), and everything I’ve heard (100x more) about these aircraft.

I detest the guy, but he’s not painting us into a corner. Russia will be a key player in ending this conflict. Don’t have to take my word for it, just watch.

American observers usually don’t reside in rebel held territory, just like you won’t find many Russian advisers in the region the US is bombing. That said, the US won’t do much if this scenario does occur. They’ll probably lodge a “strong protest” like the time the Russians shot down that commercial airplane.

The Chinese are the only known manufacturer to produce AKs with fully hooded front sight bases, and they’re the only ones still producing AKs with the original vented gas tube. The entire Eastern Bloc, and everyone else who bought tooling from the Eastern Bloc, build AKM-pattern guns with gas vents in the gas block.…

Where do any bomber and jet fighter pilots take a crap?

Your political comments are getting tiresome.

Replace your use of ‘Chinese’ with ‘United States’ and how exactly does your statement differ? Obviously their own self interests are at their best interest...

Good thing nobody else in the world does that, right?

The ATD-X is really more of a tech demonstrator as opposed to something that will be a full fledged fighter. It’s way smaller than anything else, too small to carry internal weapons.

Well, new converts and especially new born-again Christians can be REALLY intense about their beliefs. I think it has to do with needing to belong and be a good member of whatever religion a person has found - which can be a really important and powerful experience.

Yep.

There are very few mil-spec ships that could survive a hit by a Mach 3 Brahmos. However, focusing on beefing up certain structures, redundancy, and damage control may mean the difference between a crew getting off a mortally wounded ship and going straight to the bottom within seconds.
