Exactly. If all these hipster clowns who defend Uber would use their brains for half a second they would realize that cab companies are regulated so heavily FOR THIS EXACT REASON.

people would scream bloody murder about how they’re “price gouging” and why doesn’t the tech industry do something to “disrupt” it.

Yeah, from what I’ve read, they demonstrated really poor judgment and paid for it with their lives.

You’re assuming it goes top speed all-the-way. Missiles like this are only powered for the beginning of their flight, then they quickly bleed off that speed. More quickly if they have to maneuver. The multi-stage missiles can get going pretty fast, but they still don’t maintain the speed. Toward the outer edges of…

But that’s the point; there is no IADS. S-400, some Pantirs and that’s it. Syrian IADS is quite a mess (a conclusion drawn from the fact that IAF is operating over Syria with impunity). What about search radars?

According to this article (http://lemamouth.blogspot.fr/2015/12/faut-i…the SCALP-EG was used because we have lot of them (500 were delivered to the air force) and the more we shoot, the less the air force need to pay for a mid-life upgrade for the remaining missiles.

The only thing I have to object here is the continuous glorification of the S-400, and not just here, but in most of the mainstream media. Any SAM system can be taken out, especially a single S-400 battery, and Russians are not that dumb to start shooting at coalition aircraft without a very good reason.

Seems like Tyler’s attempt to play on the instinct of many Americans to assume that if another major power is neck deep in turds of a foreign conflict then the U.S. has to follow suit or risk being seen as “weak.”

Or maybe they are just showing off/doing a PR, just like the Russia did with their strategic bombers and cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea, or the US did with Tomahawks. A million dollar worth missile being used to blast a Toyota Hilux.

These kind of pieces from FA have two consistent qualities:

One of my former editors was (is?) good friends with Dr. Zizmor.

Thank you for buying a $3.075 million mansion in the Bronx

It’s Minnesota. Thin is not impled in any way.

That title is misleading. It’s should be Minnesota Passive Aggresive.

Oscar wins aren’t singular events. They’re political and rely far too much on career consideration.

You have no idea who J.K. Simmons is? Humbug. I bet you’ve seen some of his works and never realized that it was him. He is EVERYWHERE!

Marines decided to declare IOC on block 2B for their b models. Airforce is going block 3i for their A models. Either way, they still have the ability do bad things to people. Its just that they will have to wait until next year for 3f software to sling additional stuff from external pylons and to be able to play GTA 5…

I have to say, I’ve always wondered why the Royal Air Force didn’t just go down the more obvious route and buy a mix of F15s and F18s over the years instead of engaging in horrifically expensive home-grown Euro aircraft - the Tornado and, latterly, the Typhoon.

F-35C IOC in mid-late 2018 is quite a while?

Stop peeping on me!
