Because you are a dumbass.

Mission accomplished MkII.

Spies Like Us?

Less capable is not the same as inferior. Cobra is less capable than Apache, but it is not inferior. And this is one of the scenarios where it would be better to employ a simpler, more rugged but less capable system.

No, they are capable of permanent deployments. It is a requirement/modification specific to the UK’s Apache fleet - they even have folding rotor blades. During the Libyan operation, they have been deployed for more than 4 months.

Damn shame. But we can say that its legacy lives in the stealth Blackhawk.

Ideally, you would have both, like F-15 vs F-16, or F-15E vs F-16C.

Danger comes from the saltwater, not water or snow itself. UK’s Westland Apache is specifically modified to allow it operate from carriers, as was done during the Libyan operation.

Again, irrelevant. Helicopters are only concerned with the heat signature.

I think that the whole scenario regarding the terrorists operating a complex system such as Klub, or even having a nuke, is almost ridiculous. First, stuff like that cannot really go unnoticed by the intelligence, and second, it only happens in Hollywood. It is simply a nonexistent threat, and if it actually were to…

The question I want to ask those involved is why does the US need an early warning system of such complexity and expense against what is practically a non-existent threat?

I’m just waiting for KGB, FSB and GRU so that we can discuss the US’s illegal annexation of California.....

In that case, I do apologise because my opinion has been formed by the information presented in the media (they occasionally pick up stories regarding the whitewashing of fascism).

I’ve got nothing meaningful to say either, so:

In Europe, especially the UK, the story of Malta is well known and remembered. The reason I think it is not well known in the US (at least among the general public) or mentioned alongside other great moments of the war, is the fact that very few Americans took part in it. All I can remember are the two Spitfire…

Look, your way of thinking is just wrong.

So are you saying that you don’t consider 6 week of air war, special forces and naval operations, along with the Battle of Khafji as a war?

I would say that he was an engineer who had nothing to do with the corporate matters being discussed here. Even though he was in the board of directors at the time of the bribery scandals, he knew nothing about them, and he almost quit his job because of them.
