I also believe we could have stomped out ISIS over a year ago again if we had just let the exterminators go in on their own terms to exterminate.

agree with ya Dog.
If you think about it, you have to wonder why Russia has turned the ISIL oil production and distribution infrastructure into a bonfire?
well said.
revealed some somewhat embarrassing shortcomings in modern Russian military doctrine and technology
the “Allies” are doing a really good job of churning the dirt in Iraq and Syria. I find it hard to believe there isn’t 100 sq ft, in either country, that is held by ISIS that hasn’t had some type of ordinance dropped on it.
If we ever get into a fight with a peer country, tankers and AWACS are going to be prime targets no matter where they orbit. We’re going to wish we had CFTs.
Not keen on the sound track on this particular video. Sounds that would have gone with previous scenes overlapped currently playing screens (aircraft carrier ordinance bomb assembly tool noises, etc., playing after that scene was over). Screen comments were difficult to read because of differing contrasts; suggest you…
Because it isn’t in service. They’ve really only been testing it for 15 years.
looks like everyone will give the TuAF a wiiiide berth when they’re flying around Iraq.

Nuclear and biological technology available today makes it possible for a terrorist to get his hands on a weapon-of-mass-destruction and…
it doesn’t appear, from reports, that the Russians are using any sort of dumb bomb delivery techniques like toss bombing, or over the shoulder, that would have ended with the delivery aircraft headed back the way it came.
The Turks have a right to defend their airspace, but you would have thought that after the decision was made to whack a Russian jet to make the point, they would have waited for a more egregious incident.

Where the clouds are hung
For the poet’s eye...”
I don’t understand his 4.75 terminology.
It really comes down to coining a term that the marketing people can use to differentiate capability. The problem is that in the past, significant leaps forward in aircraft capability came with a new airframe. Today, users are upgrading existing airframes with new capabilities,…
US just wants to hold on to the idea of having the “only 5th generation fighter” for as long as possible.
pricing was from a quick internet search, your numbers are better.
