Agreed. And they seem to use their flares really well to. I doubt an old MANPADS would be able to hold a lock on it

Actually, still in production

Agreed. At least the U.S. And Russia Have the common sense to allow each other’s airspace and sea space violations, instead of starting WWIII. That is one of the main reasons I don’t like Turkey being a part of NATO, since they have a tendency to act however they wish with no regard to their neighbors. If there is one…

Or go in elevators with loads of prosthetic arms.

So I checked MSN, NBC, FOX, BBC, Reuters, and the Guardian, and I can't find anyone besides CNN claiming civilian casualties...

Unnamed officials that actually have contradicting stories I might add

Then you have China-Whiiiiite!!!!

Am I the only one who is slightly dubious of the “casualties” of this. It is from CNN after all, who is far from the authority on this and have been crying foul the entire time. I will probably wait to believe it they routed the missiles over dense population centers until some reliable photos appear. Especially…

B-but I love the red deck paint... :(

Everyone seems to think Russia has a negative GDP or something. They did not go bankrupt in Chechnya, the did not go Bankrupt in Georgia, they did not go Bankrupt in Ukraine.

And this is why I love the Internet.

The Slava class have a later P-500 variant though.

Well, cannon is typically for direct fire as well, howitzer has a higher trajectory, and mortar is the highest. Think of it like this:

I have used the term auto cannon when referring to anything over 20mm

So, the top brass wanted to push the StealthHawks into action, and nearly bungled the mission. Why is this not surprising?

Early detection is nice, but nobody has been shot down by a radar. The point being is that if your enemy can see you and fire before you can fire, even if you saw him first, he is much more likely to kill you because you have to run into his missile. The lack of LRAAMs in our inventory is not something I made up. It…

the idea is “First Look, Forst Shot, First Kill.”
