They won’t have such luxury in the initial phase of a conflict.

No you are not wrong.

Everyone knows where these islands are. In a war against the US, if a SAM site pops up on any one of them, they will be sending some of these towards it.

The one thing the B-21 (Fulcra) can never replace this guy for and that is pure payload.....unless you know, the B-21 is freakishly huge.

DAMN IT!!!! I’ve been under a rock for the past couple days that I had no idea this was happening. Here’s my list:

Besides the destructive damage this does to the enemy, imagine the psychological effects. This will leave you demoralized.

Haha. Nice one. You get a cookie for that.

All these unmanned weapons. I wonder if there all hackable. I think that’s what most of our adversaries would focus on doing the most....trying to interrupt their communication chain or hack them.

US is telling Turkey to stop shelling the YPG.

The R-77? Damn, they mean business.

Are those the R-77? Sh*t things are looking serious. Turkey’s F-16s are in trouble when it comes to BVR.

Russia’s helping Syria is not cold war. They’re helping their ally. The US does this all the time. Yemen, Kuwait, etc. This is really biased.

Saudi Arabia has signaled its willingness to follow Russia’s lead, and pour ground troops into Syria, thus turning up the international flavor of the conflict even more.

The Air Force should have dropped the F-35A and instead used the YF-23 as a strike fighter, while leaving the F-22 for air superiority.

We might have Libya 2.0 after the first led by France and Clinton’s smart power initiative.

It’s a shame they didn’t build more of these beauties. In fact, it’s a real shame they couldn’t build (and insert) both the YF-23 and these ones.

That was hilarious. But hitching a ride on a chopper is not the same as flying.

So Tyler, when are you going to write about the Su-35s flying in Syria right now?

Still, after fighting in the deserts of the middle east for decades, the U.S. and its allies have a long ways to go to even begin to catch up.

If Turkey shoots down another Russian jet, Putin will retaliate military or he will lose face.
