Because the US military has so much dosh that they can pass that shit around like candy? Yep. That seems to be it.
What does the typical Russian sheriff have for SWAT situations?
Just to be clear: I like Ladas as much as the next guy, but I would rather roll against an active shooter in an MRAP.

So... did they buy a prop from a Batman movie or did they have to make one because they could not afford it?

Dumbest argument for not having a proper vehicle ever. Also, I am pretty sure that most people here know that Russian “security services” have no oversight and just count it as another good reason to be glad they don’t live in Russia.

Which is to say that small town U.S. sheriffs departments have better SWAT and tactical deployment capability? Why didn’t the Russians just armor a UPS truck?

I don’t speak Russian, but I imagine he is saying “We have about money for 5 of these. Can we please have some more money?”

This is about as informative as the RT article about the Alpha sub. Thanks for wasting our time.

Is it a crazy idea to convert some of the A-10 fleet into drones? Boeing has done a pretty cool job with the QF-16 and a CAS drone with A-10 punch could be an interesting use if they are going to insist on scrapping them. Or hell, give them to the Army? Seems like a waste of good hardware.

Also, opps, "recommended" my…

In Soviet Russia... HOLY MOTHER OF GOD SAVE US!...

Shitty decks, shitty tow. Must be Russian.

Said the guy who doesn’t know how the internet works...

OK, Ivan, you go.

This is the way that America says, “fuck you, you do not have the ability or the financial means to compete with us”. Still, world beating.... still, not allowed to say by how much... just...

When my weaponized alcohol enema is done sodomizing Stalin

There was audio? I was listening to Blitzkrieg Baby Kid’s World.

If they decide to fly, they pick something that the want or need to do. They have a pedigree that few others have. If they don’t want to fly, they do whatever they want usually. A person who decides that they want to fly a fighter jet for the US military and does it has already proven that they can beat 99/100 people…

I completely agree with your first sentence.

Thankfully.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

I think the breaking point came with mass graves. That is usually it, anyway. So, yeah. Have a good one over there, be cool, and don’t find a way to get bombed again. Since you have already used your magic missile, the future of belligerence does not look good from the ground you are standing on. The bright side is…

I almost responded to three comments by the Low-IQ Troll Posse just now but decided that I could not be bothered. If no one responds to te bait it ends up just being one dude with multiple accounts talking to himself. Being something of a sadist, I enjoy watching that more than trying to have a real argument with a…
