Very true Tyler people believe way to much of the movies. In long range ISR missions simple as it can be to fill the requirements of the AO is the best.

While in SK it was always a big concern of after or even during the conflict the Chinese would absorb NK to keep us off mainland.

Even the DoD stated that’s the concept behind the f-35 after the test pilot made the bad remarks about the aircrafts poor performance in in close contact.

Most likely Tyler the people that bitch on here about this have never had to rely on these types of systems for their life’s, it is not a case of black or white but as you said net positive or negative and it is good to bring it out before to many of us die from dumb mistakes and fear of looking bad. I am willing to…

You should know truth is a bad word in politics brother, we got your six brother press on.

You shouldn’t have to, but for warranty issues with his build I would and document it.

Ooorah indeed, Devil Dogs with wings. As we used to say once you hear the thunder here comes the pain. These pilots can do some great CAS.

The leader of the Peshmerga also signed off on the strike, the PKK is not fighting for anyone’s interest. Not the same group as the Pesh we fought beside.

And I can tell you these lines you “draw” mean nothing to any of them. And it will not stop any fighting and will have an higher probability of causing an larger regional conflict.

This group believes it is the hand of the apocalypse, and first the need the infighting between the Islamic fractions to ratchet up and drag in all the west players. This is a better for them as the west would be a reluctant participant and slow to react as compared to an direct action response.

That is a very short CAS run, as the gun is best for danger black close.

Great point I can see where black and green tech ops, will become an option for another section of SOTF, which if used correctly could really enhance deep black field operations efficiency.

We might not understand all they do but we always respect the manitance Corp they keep us killing plus we are all marINES.

Great article, as a ground operator we could always count on the flying dogs and it is due to these great kids. Oooorah wings.

With so many groups operating out of the Lem no telling I have seen all sorts of oddities on camp. The HOA s always full of surprises.

Rest hard and angry devildog we shall regroup Oooorah

Even though I’m but a grunt this is not good news, the one multiplier we have always been able to count on is air superiority, control the sky own the ground ! CAS will not work if they get shot out of the sky. Every Marine know angels and demons fly above just make sure there yours.

Exactly the B is for marine support not area denial that’s the navy’s job with the C and that is how the Royals use theirs.

It would interfere with a clean ejection if hinged from the front, and with this aircraft you definitely don’t want that.

Keep rolling these out Roger, and you are correct we need to know of these failings. As a past MSO I have relied on marine air support and currently have a son that will also rely on it. And with these out of control cost and risk of losing one in the roles of CAS I worry of the “cost equation” coming in play (is this…
