20 feet means people can stab you before you can fire a shot to defend yourself. Even 24-25 feet is iffy. Mythbuster did a study on it.

It’s already a little late to worry about that. Someone in the region had already equipped their “moderate” rebels with Chinese FN-6 MANPADS to shut-down SyAF aircrafts. Some of those had already fallen in the ISIS/ISIL’s hands.

Well, given PLA AF had just brought some Su-35, and ROC AF is in the middle of upgrading their F-16 to F-16V. Maybe LMCO/ROC AF do some “post-upgrade evaluation test” done by a subcontractor in Turkey to see how the new SABR AESA perform against Su-30/Su-35.

I really doubt she gave Deen “the best promotion of his entire career.” He was much more famous then her who is mostly known as the sibling of Ashley, who is far from her HSM peak at that point.

And isn’t the most interesting expose of Jerelyn Luther was that she was actually on the search committee that hired the master and his wife? That make her shrieking “who hired you?” even more ridicolous. The master is a nicer person than I am. I would had yelled back “You did. Remember?”
