For now. The US tempo of operations is actually ridiculously slow; at our current rate, with the French and Russians ramping up operations, they will be flying more sorties than us within two months. And nearly three quarters of our sorties don’t even result in a weapon being fired.

We both have so many of them it doesn’t matter which one is “better”. They’re both capable of ceding the planet to the cockroaches.

I’d really hate if Assad is ousted. He may be a prime asshole to his people but hardly bothered the West.

“Benefit to 330 million people” /= “Marginal improvement in Area 51 security.” Sorry, man, it’s pretty clear from the article that they’ve got the place pretty well shrinkwrapped. Your argument is bad and you should feel bad.

Except it is worth billions to the USGovernment, as it will be testing area for the most expensive and advanced technology(presumably) that will be used to protect our freedom. I think you can’t put a price on freedom and if you did, it would be near $550 Billion dollars, or the approximate budget of the US military.

So, if the government came up to your house, which you have had for 60 years, blew up your garage, exposed you to radiation when claiming it was safe and used gang-land tactics to try and take over your land with hostile intent (from bullying and ‘security checkpoints) and THEN tried to pay you, you’d be like “Sure,…

Land of the free*

What the fuck is wrong with you, Dude? People are HOPING it was shot down? 224 people are dead. Doesn’t matter if they are Russians, Martians, or what have you. Those people likely had nothing to do with what Putin is doing.

1. Russia doesn’t supply those extremists with weapons

you are a piece of human garbage, please refrain from posting on here again. This is a tragedy

What sort of safety standards beyond what are already present would you like to see implemented? I ask with complete sincerity, as your statement doesn’t appear on the surface to be very well-informed.

Shut up.

My father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate was also a pilot, but I don’t claim to be an expert.

It shows the exact same thing that the Lamborghini Huracan shows that the Gallardo can’t.

The thing is, not being very good at visual range engagements means that it’s limited to BVR engagement, so it’s as good a fighter as this:

The F-35 is a worthless piece of crap and it has been oversold pretty much since day 1. If there were any point in it, I would look up the people from the AF and Lock/Mart claiming it would be a better fighter than the F-22. Yes, it would be laughable for them to say it today, but it was the Pravda talking point less…

F35 or have free healthcare

While it does seem to make sense, the simple fact is that we’re not doing massive bonding raids in sanitized air space at the moment. Using any kind of a bonner to go drop 1 or 2 precision guided bombs makes no sense when we have hundred of f16s to do that job. if we were to develop a dedicated non stealth bomber at…

And would be kind of a chicken spit thing to do. Russia is not the enemy here folks.

Well at least they’re not bombing hospitals
