On a landing craft?

Given that the US was only sharing intel with the French on a case-by-case basis up until Paris, I dunno why the Russians suddenly think they should be first in line.

Your attempt to politicize everything is amusing.

Not every absurd comment necessitates a response.

You Russians are so funny.

...and?

I dunno that it’s MUCH bigger — it IS bigger, just saying that the 747 cargo does approach the capabilities within the civilian market.

The Greeks are such dicks about anything involving history...

I actually have a friend who was part of the original French departure from NATO’s command structure...as an RB-66 pilot, he was stationed there when De Gaulle told the Americans to get out.

Likely... that’s how they normally roll, except when doing actual intercepts.

And the biggest economy in Europe, Germany, the worst of all...

Make it happen, Matt! Three of the best looking fighters in the world today...

What a fucking winner this guy is

This may make you jealous: I saw the An-225 fly into the AFB here a year or two ago.

Great shots. Carrier air ops are truly a modern miracle.

The Flankers are only intended for fleet defense, and they’re a fine interceptor. The Su-33s were never intended to carry AGMs.

Man, I’d love to be there to see those fellas flying together. I’m sure the USAF will get some great photo ops.

Oh, I wasn’t pointing that out in relation to the Antonovs being old. I was pointing it out in reference to the statement that there’s no other civilian airlifter that can do as much.

In WWII? In WWII they parked carriers off Japanese-held targets and bombed for weeks at a time, until relieved by another carrier.

...especially the Rhino, with what some consider the finest or nearly finest AESA radar set in any combat aircraft in the world.
