    Skip bombing and the Battle of the Bismarck sea......now you got me.. Low level bombing has always been the part of the military aviation that impresses me the most.

    Instead of that CNC machine, they should pay tribute to this VF-1 (it would be much more awesome):

    I have a feeling that it would be very interesting for the first hour or so, and afterwards, very boring and horribly depressing.

    Yes, it actually does. Inactivity, not doing anything, not being involved, really sucks.

    You forgot the Russians; inevitably, there will be a discussion involving the Russia.

    From an engineering point of view, these things are impressive and amazing; from a pilot’s point of view, they suck balls.

    F-35?

    Well, he is. Drones strikes are extremely successful way of eliminating people, regardless of how controversial they are.

    Mustang or Kittyhawk? Because P-40 is actually one of my all-time favourite aircraft; an underrated and slightly forgotten workhorse that actually gave a mighty contribution to the war effort in the darkest hours of the war.

    No, sectarian violence was caused by the leprechauns, chemtrails and HAARP. Everyone knows that.

    MiG-29 is too small for them, it is in the same category as the F-16, 18 or Typhoon. It would be better of with F414 or EJ200.

    It’s not really that simple. You cannot blame YPG for the acts perpetrated by the PKK. YPG did benefit heavily from the Kobane situation, and it has its own flaws, but you cannot compare it to the PKK.

    WW2 low level shenanigans!

    Actually, half of them are second hand. Poland had received 20+ of them from Germany some 15 years ago.

    I wasn’t thinking about Russia; a full scale military conflict is a topic for another discussion. What I meant are the Kurds. If the Turkey continues its moronic policy, they face another long and horrible insurgency, which will only be detrimental to them. And conditions are vastly different now, all due to wars in

    Haha, what a bunch pillocks!

    You don’t need to have a UN or a Congressional approval to justify a military act that requires quick decision making. If the US military would wait for approval for its every military operation, nothing would ever be done efficiently. The justification comes from means used, the end result and the target itself.

    Russia is doing things far worse than anything that US is doing right now. Today, US has bombed ISIL in Libya, which resulted in deaths of two Serbian hostages, of whose presence Pentagon had no idea. It was a legitimate airstrike.

    The very fact that we consider that excrement as an ally is mindboggling.
