So big pharma makes poisonous products The FBI makes false arrests. The CIA invents false narratives and the DOD makes shit weapons. Of course. It’s a manifestation of a country in steep decline and deservedly so.
Not just the US, but all of the western world. The EU has been dying FOREVER. How much longer can they stay above water? Hell, they were bankrupt fifteen years ago… Chip
The stingers are like a Buick – they barely work, but they come with OnStar.
Good comparison on the A-10 vs. the F-35 in the Close Air Support role. It is without question the world’s best ground attack aircraft and a worthy successor to its namesake, the P-47 Thunderbolt. And yet, the Air Force has been trying to get rid of it for years. It’s just not glamorous enough for Air Force pilots, even though the grunts love them. I say change the rules and transfer them all to the Army or Marines, where they would be put to good use.
Warthogs are the infantry’s best friend. Why on Earth would they get rid of a platform that effective?
Its too cost effective, not enough opportunity for money laundering and other sorts of graft. But you probably knew that.
Have been supported by them and have cheered for them in the sky. I am also partial to Apache pilots.
I just remembered it was yesterday afternoon I heard a noise that sounded like Warthog cannon and I paused my wood working to say a few words of appreciation for the A-10 and her pilots.
Not sure what the 30mm ammo costs today, but years ago it cost $500 to destroy a T-72 tank. The Generals wanted to replace the A-10 with any high Dollar jet firing 1 million Dollar a pop missiles instead of the $500 bucks worth of 30mm. The Army at one time, probably in pre-fag flag officer days begged to have them turned over to the Army if the Air Force dropped them as they did with helicopters decades ago. Also, the AF does not want to fly ground support. I have been told troops on the ground can tell whether an aircraft is Air Force or Marine from miles away. The AF try to do a fancy turn and flip bombs from long and safe distances while they say “a Marine flies down to the ground, lays the egg and lights the fuse with his afterburners.”
Have participated in exercises with the A-10 both in Germany and in Fort Hood Texas. BAD ASS. You couldn’t tell when and where it was coming from until it was right over you. The F-16 is also INFINITY better than any other fighter aircraft we have in the inventory and can be built for a small fraction of the price of the F18 or F35… Chip
My husband keeps up with military equipment upgrades and told me some active duty pilot made the statement that he preferred the modified F-15(X) [whatever the latest modification] and as far as he was concerned the money on the F-35 was wasted.
I think he retracted that statement because we looked for the article later and it was gone. Like it never existed at all.
F16, cheaper, better, faster, and off the runway in half the distance of any of the other modern day fighters… Chip
F-15 makes the F-16 obsolete except for CAS which was its weakest capability. F-16 has amazing maneuverability/dogfighting, but the F-15 made that mostly obsolete. In reality all modern air forces are not primary military capabilities, because they require runways and support which are neutralized with missiles. Just like surface warfare, they are a racket unless used against vastly inferior opponents.
I’ve seen a F-16 take off from Carswell NAS near Fort Worth, it went down the runway for about 10 seconds and then went straight up till I couldn’t see it anymore.
Sheesh, we need to push those west Ukes out of the US DoD’s way and show them how a big spender loses a MSM friendly war, buncha’ amateurs.
Pro Tip: Bankster profit is in reaping ye olde host nation with them losing financial reserves, national assets, bases, major cities, weapons, a generation of enthusiastic kids, cultural identity. No shemitah for the dead.
This guy reports with such… delectable relish. He sort of reminds me of a super-hero’s comedic side-kick.
Anyway, the daily reports on Ukraine change with the wind. You might as well flip a coin or seek answers from a magic 8-ball.
A few days ago, Scott Ritter also claimed the NATO weapons would not help against the Russians because of maintenance and logistics issues.
Then, today, I read Ritter has changed his mind and that Russia is dangerously close to mission failure in Ukraine (link below).
And, now, we learn the Nazis have surrendered at the steel plant.
So stay tuned tomorrow for the advantages of coffee increasing life expectancy in spite of it killing millions of caffeine consumers annually because it’s actually bad for you.
It’s all quite confusing and I suspect the vigorous speculations will continue to be hotly contested topics at FEMA camp.
