Which part do you think is the tape?

I wouldn’t mind Foxtrot Alpha becoming an independent blog, but it is logical to keep it as part of Jalopnik for marketing reasons. And comparison with Jezebel is way off, since the number of Jalops who like FA far outweighs those who don’t.

Foxtrot Alpha is unavailable for comment at this time, it is to busy fapping on Russia and A-10s.

Nah, they pulled out to soon meaning that their seeds wont stick around for too long.

Why does it bother you so much? There are plenty of shitty articles popping out on Jalopnik, so why do you people keep whining about some good, quality and informative journalism that Foxtrot Alpha is (70% of the time, but ultimately better than 70% of the stuff on Jalopnik)?

That is goddamned hilarious. You won the anti-Russia sentiment for tonight!

So long, suckers!

That very idea makes no sense at all. Everybody knows that rebels have both IR and radar guided AA (like SA-8), but why would Russia be afraid of something that can’t harm them? That is the very reason for their high altitude bombing - they don’t want some haji scoring a lucky shot on one of their aircraft.

So, what exactly do you mean by that? Neither MANPADS or counter-IR systems are ideal or foolproof solution. But the fact is that MANPADS can’t shoot higher than approx. 12k feet of altitude.

No shit, Sherlock - for the first part

I saw your comment from the bottom, first spotted that SVP-24 crap (again) and decided that you have absolutely no clue what are you talking about.

I have no idea what are you thinking, but this ship is a rustbucket, and when rustbuckets hit the bottom, their shit comes up.

And nothing of that is even remotely relevant, as Royal Navy/Army Air Corps does not have a policy of permanently parking its rotorcraft on the deck as the USMC does on the USN ships.

There is no way on earth that a pilot can get an indication that he is being targeted by an IR-guided missile. Also, MANPADS can’t target anything above 20k feet.

So, in this post, you admit that Russia is bankrupt, which basically counters your own argument in a reply you made to me couple of posts above.

If you take that as a measure of a nations economy, then you are a dumbass.

Kinja often behaves erratically, but I’m not sure what are you referring to.

It was actually a double post (because my phone sucks, and so does kinja) so I edited it, but it can also have a meaning (kind of).

That’s not a carrier, it’s a pending environmental disaster.

You mean that Rodina is crazy and broke? Shit is about to hit the fan.
