Appaently, some are going to be using the President-S defensive system.

They fought ISIS as well, but that was not the point of the operation

It’s interestingly because IIRC Putin said over a year ago that Syria probably would not be able to maintain its full territory.

The thing is Russia never went in there to defeat ISIS. They went in to prop up Assad.

Out of random curiosity, does it ever lag really bad on the Kinja pages?

Yes. It's very weird how different naming goes. Apparently, the Borei Class submarines are a type of submerging cruiser by their designation. I think the difference come from doctrine.

I heartily agree!

It does if you don't wait too long ;)

Some old Su-24s are a step closer to retirement, but beyond that not much. The newer hardware kept a petty low tempo, and the exposure plus experience gained is well worth a few dozen hours on a handful of newer airframes

Quite possibly. I have also noticed that the recent thaw in Russia-Israel relations coincides with Israel being seemingly fine with Russian incursions into their airspace and Israel taking more action against Hezbollah.

Well, technically, it's an aircraft carrying cruiser...

Sounds like a hippy’s wet dream

The smallest detail could give you away. For example, if you are well nourished but work a normal job. Another possibility is how you cross the street. If…

Illuminati confirmed!!!

Me two. I am not sure what is oozing out, but the poor malnourished worker looks like he wants to eat it, and then little fatty is a good contrast

I like you...

Now, I know it is totally different to make a plane vs a ship or sub, but would we get a finished product if we did the Russian style of making things?
