Yup and yup....

I lived on the eastern side of the Sacramento Valley near Chico in the mid 80’s to early 90’s, and booms from the Blackbirds coming in and out of Beale AFB were a fairly frequent occurrence. Every once in a great while you’d catch a glimpse of one if it was low and slow enough.

Oh, the Boeing isn’t a toad, it’s a Blob.

From some angles it looks like a flying shark, from others, it looks like a toad.

Trump probably thinks the “nuclear triad” is a gang of Chinese terrorists armed with dirty bombs that he needs to ban from traveling to the U.S.

They still have a 1/2 dozen in service, and the hulls are pushing 50 years old.

He already IS your President.

Ummmm, right, ok, yeah sure. Sounds good to me. We’ll go with that....

Sure, a little hyperbole to make a point. But whoever we have in the vicinity is sure to be keeping a pretty close eye (ear) on it.

Once it launched the missiles, it provided a “flaming datum” that pinpoints its exact location. Odds are, even as I type, a Virginia or L.A. class boat has a solution on the little MFer...

I only saw a Harrier fly once, and even then I thought it was the loudest damn airplane I’d ever heard.

It’s size alone gives it the illusion that it’s moving at about 2 miles an hour 8^)

Doesn’t look like a successful test. I can’t read your post ;-)

You look hugely prescient. Well done, well done :-)

Turbocharger, supercharger, or turbosupercharger not withstanding, it still looks like a fucking piece of shit 8^)

Sometimes simply not feeding the trolls is the best option :-)

If glonass is like every other piece of Russian Shit it probably is only accurate within a few miles, LOL.

Seriously doubt that we have Ohio-class boats in the Black Sea. It’s a Russian pond, likely strewn with sonar nets and all sorts of other things that submariners like to avoid. It doesn’t need to be parked that close to Russia, not with missiles that can reach 1/3 of the way around the world.

I’ve always liked the Gripen, it seems to be a trim and well thought out little fighter. With the upgrades for the NG, it will be even more formidable.

Wish I could give you ten stars for your post. There is no way to bomb an idea out of existence.
