I’d rather say that its biggest disadvantage is $$$; I’d say they are a bit pricy per flight hour, when compared to helos and fixed wing water bombers.

A week ago, I actually told Putinbots that I would join them briefly, just to take a piss, but I really didn’t know how to start, what to write.

Military, aviation or naval history of the 20th century.

Regardless of what do you think or wrote regarding the original topic of discussion, you have presented us with an information or an idea, which I consider false, and I have written why do I think so.

Nitpicking, it’s medium altitude, if you want to be technical. Wast majority of the strikes have happened from the altitudes that are detrimental to accuracy.

I didn’t know that, but I would certainly like to know more facts about it; whether if it was Ballaban who had done that (won’t be the first time), and what exactly were you saying.

Actually, of all the nuclear subs that are lying on the bottom of the sea, none has (yet) emerged as a serious ecological hazard. Nuclear reactors are usually much more protected than usual fuel bunks, and the fuel is less dense than water so it floats to the surface and the washes up on the shore.

No. Who is he and what is that?

The problem is, lately he doesn’t seem to be interested in the comments unless they say things like “great article” or “I was there, man”.

I definitely agree with that; the best example is the article that claimed that S-400 drove NATO aircraft away from the western Syria, when in fact, they have never operated over the western Syria.

The whole “show pending” issue deeply sucks, all because of some precious little flowers on Jezebel who got upset over some stupid shit. If editors see a seriously inappropriate comment (or something they don’t like), the can simply delete it (as Ballaban did here when I have posted a photo of a man in a suit with his…

SVP-24 is nothing more than a new navigation system for Russian combat aircraft (some sort of INS + GLONASS). The problem is, Putinbots and the Russian state media have claimed that it significantly increases the accuracy of high level bombing, up to the JDAM levels, which is physically impossible.

There is a thing called Missile Approach Warning System; basically, a Doppler radar or an IR system that detects incoming missiles, whatever guidance they may have, and it has been in service for quite a while.

While I am technically a millennial, I don’t think I fit in any of the usual descriptions assigned to them. But I did see quite a few of my friends become exactly that.

A Jalopnik sub-blog that used to post good and interesting stuff about motorsport. Used to, because I haven’t seen much of that good stuff this winter; when you consider their previous posts and the amount of stories that were relevant over the course of this winter (most notably, the Dakar).

Jalops as a group have a tendency of pissing on everyone who disagrees with their generally accepted beliefs and opinions, and some of their writers behave like real assholes when someone presents them with a valid counterpoint, argument or a criticism. They also often use the lame-ass tactic of greying-out people…

I have made, not was. Goddamn!

But why don’t they give us what we all really want, “civilian” CRF450 Rally?

Out of sheer curiosity, what have you done to deserve a greyout? I was greyed-out on Black Flag this summer after politely disagreeing with Patrick George and Stef about their tabloid-like obsession with the Lewis Hamilton’s personal crap. But I’ve managed to sneak back in around December.

I was also made a legitimate question in order to provide a serious answer. That is nothing more than a cockpit sunscreen, seen here fully deployed:
