Thank you for your explanation.

Obviously being a feline tycoon, I know little of programming.

No, I had no idea Ivan.... that’s a great factoid though.

“Guess it depends on what the desired effects are, though”

Time will tell Boris.

cranks don’t joke.

Is ‘72' right?

Turkey shouldn’t be flying over Syria anyway.

What will be replacing the Kiowa?

Weren’t the captured banks in Mosul full of USD$ ?

What “agreement” is this Andy?

The Kremlin is announcing emergency budget cuts today.

Does the TLAM carry a nuclear warhead?

The S-400 is a world ender.....

HARM’s as far as the eye can see....

The S-400 has been deployed in Kaliningrad since 2012.

True..... plus also its easier to station at foreign allied ports, some countries have odd rules prohibiting nuclear propelled vessels docking.

The trouble with them is lack of speed and diving depth compared to nuclear submarines.....

Indeed... just like Iran apprehended those two Swedish boats carrying US sailors in the Persian Gulf yesterday!
