Getting that stuff man rated is always the expensive and time consuming parts.
nht
nigel-t
Yah, it’s pretty funny that Putin banned Ukrainian companied from the Russian space program then had to get help from Yuzhmash to service Zenit launches anyway.
S-300 Site near Sevastopol:
“For instance, an F-16 may be able to get well within JASSM missile range of an advanced SAM site while an F-35 could get within the outer-edge of Small Diameter Bomb range.”
Lol.
Lol...nice moving of the goal posts. First it was 5 B1=carrier. Now it’s sorties from land bases is cheaper.
He’s been told what it is but refuses to believe USAF TAT numbers.
It’s silly because nobody can do the C2 to get 500 missiles on target except for IRBMs on Kadena (it doesn’t move and BMD is hard).
LOL. You’re comparing the normal hazards of operation to actual attacks as if they are equal?
Bagram airbase was “secure” because the 10th Mountain Division/101st/82nd/etc was based out of there.
An A-10 or AV-8 and do 5 sorties a day for a burst but their ground crews are not loading 144 SDBs or 84 Mk82s per plane.
Too bad real life sortie rates for bombers is 1.2 / 24 hr period in OIF, ODS, etc.
ISIS was contained from a territorial expansion perspective. The recent terrorist acts are a separate issue.
Because our F-16s don’t have the necessary support built into the frame.
Jeez people...this is simply Turkey reminding Russia that if they cut off gas from Turkey that Turkey can respond by cutting the Bosphorus Strait to Russian warships as it is “threatened by aggression”.
Enjoyed your tantrum. I guess you couldn’t point at China on that map eh?
IF Russia is dumb enough to shoot at US, Brit, French or German aircraft the S-400 would get destroyed. Three of the four nations mentioned is also nuclear armed and MAD still applies.
No shittier than this map:
