Japs made one way back then, just before the end of WW2
In a larger conflict between near peers the satellites will be targeted. Russia, China and ZOG have all practiced blowing up their own space objects. Once the real time ISR is gone there will still be a need for conventional forces. It won't be all drones and missiles.
Bullshit and cope article. Russian economic growth isn't entirely fueled by MIC nor are wage growing because of high pay to soldiers
If any ship can be killed by a dozen hypersonic missiles from shore then its tough to make a ship that costs more than a dozen hyper sonic missiles. And nobody is transparent how effective defense against them is.
My man, I can tell you have zero history knowledge. Ukrainian army is FAR from the worst.
It's almost as if the communists were right all along and unbridled immigration is really just a capitalist weapon against the working class.
The F16's are a propaganda trophy like the Abrams M1 tanks.
Zelenskyy made the right move. Using F16s for missile lobbing is retarded when helicopters exist.
Helicopters got their own problems. Mainly range and speed.
F16s are not low flying ground vehicles, they’re intended for BVR high altitude combat, their maneuverability suffers dramatically below intended operating altitude. The flight ceiling is 15 kilometers, make use of it or don’t use it at all to lob missiles if you don’t intend it use it correctly. The real reason why an F16 is a dangerous jet to Russia is because it can use guided munitions from a long range.
The first story Ukraine floated was that the F-16 was sent up to shoot down drones during the last mass Russian attack (like the Shaheed) before crashing, which implied it might've collided with one and that was the cause of the crash. Losing a $30 million piece of kit trying to shoot down a $30k drone and then being defeated by it is probably the most retarded use of an F-16 imaginable.
Russian aircraft have a longer range. It's not the latest F-16 gen either. Just like the Abrams it's wrong for this conflict. America isn't going to trash the F-15E, F-22, or F-35 for benefit of the retarded hohols they put in nominal charge.
30.000$ is probably at least twice the price of a Geranium drone. Likely more. It’s literally just fiberglass, a scooter engine, explosives and some electronics. Oh and a Ukrainian SIM card for communication and location.
Fixed it for you. Skulls are very prominent, Wagner also wears them as pointed out. I still maintain that the hohols lost at least one F-16 to incompetence.It's almost as if the communists were right all along and unbridled immigration is really just a (((capitalist))) weapon against the working class.
I'm not convinced its F16 related, its probably Kursk related. But if we assume it is F16 related, then it could be that big Z was actually convinced that the F16 would be the tool to turn around the air war, and wanted to see them employed offensively to shoot down Russian aircraft, under the reasoning that if they can prove it works and take out a lot of Russian aircraft before they run out of F16's, that it will prove they're the tide turner and they can then get more of them.
The whole point of Ukraine's begging for F-16's was that they could strike Russia from very long range to avoid being instantly shot down by Russian air defenses. There's no way they're going to fly those in close air support for the ground invasion of Russia proper. Just look how much high-value Ukrainian air defense systems have already been destroyed by simply moving them close to the border.
