The day the U.S will be finally able to develop reliable first stage rocket engines for their bulky Atlas space rockets instead of purchasing them from Russia, that day and only then you could start arguing that your missiles are potentially the best.

Russia’s economy is pretty much what could be described as an “autarky.” They’re practically self-sufficient in everything, from food to heavy industries. We need to stop thinking in just Western terms when it comes to tech culture and economics. Some here people need to travel the globe more. The world doesn’t…

That comrade’s playing Galaga!

Do that shit on your own time! Next time I catch you you’ll be on the next Antonov to Syria you chucklehead!

I understand where you’re coming from. But I don’t agree. K9 handlers in my experience, from family and friends, adore their partners. They’re family.

Seriously bud, do you need help? Are you in too deep?

You know what’s super hilarious and ironic to this particular conversation? (still don’t know what it is, pretty sure you made it up because google doesn’t either) “hasbara” means “explanation” in hebrew!

Are you a Hamas paid Arabic supremecy troll?

Their fighters take off with rocks being kicked up from the front landing gear onto the fuselage’s underbody... FYI, that’s why their landing gear is so far back and tall - so that these rocks don’t get into engine intakes. Talking of which, they have metal grates that can be closed while on the ground and open up…

Have you ever seen an airfield in Russia? Their aircraft are made to take off in just such environments. In fact, some of their tactical aircraft (like the Mig-29) close their main intakes and opens slits in the top during take-off for just that reason.

Unpopular opinion - the original trilogy was just as bad/good as the prequels. The only reason why we oldies (25 and over) think that the prequels suck and the OT was the bee’s knees is because of nostalgia.

I’ll just leave this here...
