LOL. The “experts” braying for the demise of the F-35 are the same “experts” that called the F-22 “Craptor” and helped fuel the bloodlust for killing that program.

While obviously someone at Boeing likes him enough to send him un-watermarked images they ARE posted on their site:

We had a lot more than dozens of IFVs, nine M1s and assorted artillery. It’s hittable by ISIL, it just would take some effort and time to do so.

When ISIL runs an armored VBIED into the Russian compound then the Russians will realize that putting your dick in a grinder is a bad idea.

Lol...good luck with that. At $40 bbl he doesn’t have billions to squander.

POTUS doesn’t visit every day.

That’s the Vinson but she’s pretty fresh too in this picture...no visible rust...

When you actually need to is “Hey look, we’re at war!”

Yep, one way to beat double digit SAMs is to send in enough F-16s that you saturate the defenses.

“I want THAT op center!”

The expression of a man who’s own military parades involves fire extinguishers and tow trucks...FU Xi...you smug looking bastard.

The look of a man with a major military parade where none of the tanks caught fire and had to be hauled away standing next to a man who did.

To illustrate the point:

There will be no operational unmanned fighters in 10 years.

If you are in the top 10% ($113-159K) then your share is 11.22% of $100B divided by 14M or $801.

Funny that the P-8 was another one of those aircraft hated by the blogosphere as a mistake by the USN. Designed for too many missions at the expense of ASW, too fast to see things, too expensive, no MAD, shorter loiter time, should have been turbo-props, should have built P-3s with new engines, etc.

See ya hippy. /DeNiro voice

And we will continue to suggest that the problem isn’t the site but somewhere between your screen and your chair.

Because we don’t have an infinite supply of SATCOM and will have even less if the balloon goes up for real. You have to assume zero CONUS reach back, and limited SATCOM.

New Zealand spends anywhere from 1.1 to 1.3 percent of their GDP in defense. Which is a hair higher than countries like Canada or Japan and slightly lower than Germany.
