Did anyone having Pakistan and India going hot on 2025 bingo card?

Has there been a actual dogfight since Vietnam?

That’s modern dogfighting. Don’t viate enemy airspace so ground AA can’t get you. Rely on BVR missiles because if you are in range with guns something went terribly wrong

What

Those are STEAM POWERED? good lord that’s more oomph than I was expecting I was thinking we had some giant ass motors creating some crazy ass electromagnatisim

Don’t forget about the Tomcat! That guy lasted longer than it had any right to TBH.

the benefit of electric power that makes it way better than anything

t o r q u e

Lol that’s actually stupid funny.

Trump & Co. Managed to piss off UK and EU enough that they said “know what, let bygones be bygones, fuck the US”

Squirrels man. I’m better it’s because of squirrels.

They’re coordinating. One looked me in the eye from a tree yesterday, turned around and started racing down the tree and right ar me. spooked the shit out of me.

Damn squirrels

Man watching that in real time was crazy. Putin left Moscow ahead of their arrival. But realizing they were undermanned, it sounds like Putin gave him the opportunity to disperse Wagner to various other theaters to remove their threat. I believe Africa was a big one, some were absorbed by Belarus. I’m sure a lot were given the choice to immediately return to the front lines with what they had on them or face execution.

Regardless, The Chef must have known if he backed down, he was dead.

I’m not exactly sure why he agreed on a flight out of Russia, maybe he thought it was safer because of the size of collateral damage? And as well all know Putin gives 0 fucks about that, and we also know the way his enemies die is always a message. An anti-aircraft missile against an attempted coup leader was loud, big, and obviously intentional. He told all the other “would be coup attempts” that it’s not going to be polonium tea, or novichok, or defenestration - it’s public execution with innocents if necessary.

Oh cool, performance fixes.

Does it stop the frequency of crashes though?

Three weeks ago, Ms Giuffre posted on Instagram to say she had been seriously injured in a car accident, which her family later said she had not intended to make public. Local police later disputed the severity of the crash.

This part makes me wonder. If I remember at the time of it, it was a kidney injury that without dialysis would have given about 4 days to live. She recently split up with her husband after 22 years. I’ll start by saying dialysis isn’t fun. The emotional rollercoaster she has been on would devastate anyone.

That being said, all of this would not have happened if she hadn’t been trafficked. I maintain an opinion that traumatic crimes result in suicide, then the perpetrators are murderers.

Regardless if she died by her own action or not, she was murdered.

With that opinion stated. Yeah. Without a lot more information I’m sort of expecting the suicide to be self-intlicted gunshot wounds to the back of her head while her hands were tied.

Ok so I have an 85mm micro whoop. Or had i probably should toss the batteries. Those batteries last 3 minutes tops, so you’d be limited to maybe a round trip of 3km, 5km if you let it die where you send it.

That’s not carrying anything, that’s just remote surveillance. I get how that can be insanely useful on the battlefield, but if you attach a 20km fiber optic cable (without adding in friction of the cable and air resistance) on an 85mm it’s going a fat lot of nowhere. It’s about 125g per meter of fiber optic.

Unless the drones you’re talking are tiny ultralight plane things with some incredible battery, I don’t see any tiny drone with that kind of range.

Unless! Unless, and I don’t find it very likely, but there’s some other power delivery going on I don’t know about.

Oh. Dang yo, I didn’t even think about out of sight anti-tanl. That’s a huge step up. You’re no longer looking down the barrel of a 130mm(idk) gun hoping your missile hits before they fire

And here my civvy ass is goin “wait they’re different?”

Is that where the phrase “pink mist” comes from?

Yeah I probably wouldn’t stick around either.

Would you rather have had wire drones over your TOWs?

Or just knee replacements

Sure, but a 20km attack radius in terms of something that can fly seems… Idk less than effective.

It would work for precision bombing nearby targets, but for long range strikes like Ukraine does, they need to be untethered.

But in those cases, i doubt they run remotely, rather they set a GPS destination and they use a combination of astral navigation and inertial navigation to hit their intended target, just like missiles.

Just much slower, smaller and lower flying missiles. Can’t shoot what you can’t see on radar.

So basically we need a REALLY big wall
