Yeah, I think I’m calling BS here... unless your brother is a Canadian, which I gather he is not.

But it does add to the cost, and it’s a way for LockMart and the F-35's backers to artificially claim they’re cheaper than they actually are.

Blame Bernie

How about we take the money and hire Sons-Of-Liberty an editor so his posts are legible

I call bullshit.

Either way, nice balanced, sober writeup, Tyler.

So, in Block 2b, they had the radar freeze 6x in 200 hrs? And in Block 3i, radar got BSOD 50x in 215 hrs??

Mostly, but keep making your half assed, half baked points.

Those aircraft were already in the Air Force inventory, but the Air Force also had new aircraft. The B-29 was the primary Air Force bomber because it was the only conventional bomber available and the only bomber available in numbers.

Just a lack of experience. Couldn’t tell them apart offhand.

Again, if the police were regularly corrupt and had killed 100+ civilian protesters, it would be seen very differently.

You mean, use against Russian regular soldiers invading Ukrainian territory?

And 100+ civilian protesters killed by Yanukovich’s police.

True. Certainly better than the Harpoon in many respects, but not nearly as fast as Russian or Chinese missiles.

True. The only Russian swear words I know are from Alex Zuyev’s book.

The navy got super carriers BECAUSE OF our experience in Korea.

If we’re going by the last 100 years, American Indians are largely out of the picture, along with much of the British Empire’s doings. The US certainly killed a lot of Japanese civilians during WWII, along with some Germans.

Not for the defense industry, because they’re basically against every aircraft in the world except the F-22 and Flanker.

Tbh, I wouldn’t be able to tell the Virginia class and California class apart.

So.... how do you kill it? Torpedos?
