Doesn’t have to be the f-35's equal. It just has to be better than most of what’s out there, which isn’t a big step for the F-18.

Does he need one? Anyone with a pulse can see this jet is out of control. He’s making broadsides at Lockheed and Boeing but there’s no specifics beyond “this is a bad deal, we must do better”. He’s got no power to do anything for another month at best, but he will do something, and these programs can’t fail.

Because it accuses the EC being an invalid and obsolete body while asking it to take an action which is both unprecedented and illegal for most of its members.

This isn’t a group that should be making decisions on its own desires. If we feel they shouldn’t be making decisions at all then goading them into doing the…

Ahh yes, walking with an exposed document under ones arm in plain view of cameras.

Nukes aren’t fired on personal whim. They are fired as a military response. If we have a hawkish president who thinks it’s no big deal to shoot at Russian planes then you are closer to that outcome than with a simple hot head.

Wait till the doubters find out that sq 42 is only a chapter and not the whole single player game.

Except that Palmer hasn’t said anything. He quietly supported a group that he’s since distanced himself from. It wasn’t public or business related, and the $10k given was chump change in political circles. People pay five times that just to be seen eating lunch with a Clinton.

Except when those statements support liberal positions, then you can line up movie stars to pitch your cause and no one bats an eye.

Depends on so many variables that it’s hard to say if that’s truth or just people’s assumption.

Seems sexist to me. Why does the west assume that a strong female must be gay?

Two good hands, an iPad with multiple players guides open, and I still haven’t beaten it once...

If you can buy your enemy’s nation for less than the cost of the plane needed to bomb them, something’s obviously gone wrong.

I’m new to the dark souls scene, but the jist of this game seems to be that all mechanics are left for player to “figure out” and hence the difficulty.

The question is about where we put our resources.

Are they doing space combat or another F-18 ride along gimmick?

Dust this design off. Toss in your advanced targeting gear in the back seat. You’ve got your next trainer/export/patrol and ground attack bomber all set to go.

The Air Force has systematically retired every other attack plane so... Yea, the hog is all that’s left.

The A-10 has been doing missions in high threat situations. It’s currently deployed in Europe, the Middle East, and it’s doing patrols in the pacific theater. Its taken on enemies with manpads or greater and It’s been used in the sead/dead roles because of its capabilities in dealing with ground defenses.

The problem with the F-35 it’s a golden bullet solution being pitched for every conflict.
Yes it will eventually be able to hit all the same targets as a hog, but the A-10 runs about 9k an hour compared to 32k for the F-35. It can carry the same ordinance where the Tucano is far more limited and more vulnerable. Since…

I wouldn’t bring up parachutes, but I would suggest winged return vehicles as a more reliable alternative.
The wings do add weight and require a runway landing, but they also allow you to burn all of the propellant and cover more mileage home on the return flight.
