After the battle damage incidents in the past few weeks you gotta figure US aviators aren't going to be lawn mowing much anymore

To top it all off, the fun part of requiring that data centers be built in another jurisdiction is that data centers get built in another jurisdiction

We knew this re:Ukraine, but sea denial against major powers in narrow straits should get some gears whirring away in capitals foreign and domestic

I'd settle for able to do this with Braziliansky if #2 isn't an issue (it totally is)

Ok, I'll give it to him if he unveils the Lockheed Martin Zaku II

If we were worried about dogshit reliability and falling out of the air we wouldn't be operating any helos. Like the whole selling point of the V-22 is to fly sorta like a plane while landing sorta like a helo, but yeah it is odd that there isn't any Osprey action in these high speed ops

I don't disagree, it's mostly about Reapers costing 30 mil but that's still less than anything in the current US inventory that isn't straight of the 80s. It's just how drone economics roll

I've seen a few people poo-pooing the air campaign, but they're inevitably tallying drones almost like manned combat aircraft losses and I have very mixed feelings about that practice

It was an insanely risky op performed by the actual best US SOF, the Basji and IRGC moving in was playing against a stacked deck

I'm still a bit shocked they allegedly used a C-130 to recover a single guy. If you need speed and range to do it this kind of thing was made for the Osprey

I thought they recovered the WSO first? Guess initial reports had it backwards

Is it still showing people weird porn?

Bro the agents are gonna die

Looks like it!

The vibes are easily this tbh, although I'd wait for fundamentals to line up before really concluding it

We don't have to do this discourse, Peltola was in Congress representing the exact same territory she's running for now in the Senate and the most you can say about her positions is that she's roughly slightly to the left of MGP in a redder seat

Operation All Ghillied Up

We're going to learn retroactively that Roy Cooper has the Mandate of Heaven

This is just Auntie/Uncle for grownup non-minorities

What are the stats on that charm

That circle around the Straits of Malacca is why I think the recent Chinese export push isn't all it's cracked up to be for them

Wow I can't believe we made it can only good happen real just for the White House

Really appreciate how the full name was typed out just so the rake could be stepped on all by themselves

One of the most populous countries in the world to this day btw

As has been posited elsewhere, we haven't heard a peep about this guy's relationship issues yet...

Every Asian kid's worst nightmare, I'm not even sure possibly being witness to warcrimes from being in Ramadi as part of TF Bruiser would deflect anything

I'm on my phone so someone else is going to have to post the Mikie Sherill helicopter meme

We had a Green Beret (IIRC) compromise a secret facility a few years ago through this as well

Get ready for another round of MGP vs Kent

The strongest BBL of history vs the strongest BBL of today
