And we’ve owned up to it, and no longer conduct bombing campaigns of that magnitude. Using this history as an excuse to valid what Russia is doing in 2016 is pure jackassery.

Do you even ROE, bro?
You missed the point.
If the US is such a nuisance, why doesn’t Western Europe just step up and defend themselves?
Very true, this is an early step on the way to exactly that sort of technology. Unfortunately there is a huge difference in processing required for obstacle detection and avoidance versus Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (with ODOA presumably). Not to mention loop-closure, which is no simple problem with SLAM,…
But why would they need to buy from Russia when they already have a totally not fake 5th generation fighter?
They could easily just use a dummy warhead for the first attempt to see if they could actually hit the damn thing.
Correct, and to be fair I’m also certain Russia built a shit ton to penetrate a certain mountain...
Thank god they will be broke (again) by then.

Putin’s not above an ‘oopsy.’ If they do this, I guarantee every country with a nuclear defense shield is going to be sitting with their finger on the button at the first sign of any deviation from course...
Only as a bathing suit model.
Ironically they’ve been somewhat right. The world after World War II is by far the most peaceful it has ever been in human history. Neolithic humans had about a 30% chance of dying from violence. Modern humans (in the West) have dropped to a fraction of 1%. That includes war and murder.
Go home Russia, you’re drunk.
Consider the accuracy of Russian navigational systems, I’m not so sure how accurate Russian sources are on this story.
While the possibility is open for Finland, a country of smaller population that has traditionally fought defensive wars, to consider NATO membership under current conditions, I think it is unlikely Sweden would do so. Sweden has long backed up their neutrality with force, maintaining a strong military, with an…
“Since Finland does not primarily use its fighter force for expeditionary warfare, the high-end capabilities and stealth technology seen of the F-35 would be hard to justify.”
