Billy Mays here, but WAIT, there’s MORE! the “combat footage” sub Reddit is awesome.

Well, that's two big expensive pieces of hardware now sitting in the bottom of the black sea, for Putin's little 72 hour field trip he had planned. When keepin' it real...goes wrong. *Gleefully whistles Randy Dandy Oh! under breath* 😆 Slava Ukraini.

Will it? Putin won't leave without leveling the place in a temper tantrum to save his ego anyways. The West will be the ones who end up footing the bill and donating money to help rebuild the place. Small price to pay for the Ukrainians shedding blood to fend off the Russians. As sad as it is, the US spent years and trillions on weapons preparing to fight the Russians, and now somebody else is doing it for us. Least we can do is let them try and send the Black Sea fleet to the sea floor. Tragic, but I have seen enough of cruise missiles smashing into random apartment complexes. I'm sure we have some dusty harpoons that we're gunna be scrapped anyways. Light em up.

My understanding is we're calling and they aren't picking up the phone? Not sure how accurate that is. Unfortunately he doubled down, and this exactly what happens when you double down, you can double lose. I guess that ship sailed for me. He is going to be completely defeated at least in terms of what he actually wanted to achieve, he is going to be humiliated, he is going to be shamed and shunned, and he is likely to get offed by his own. Minus a couple people on here who think that the West should keep trading with Russia because "its in the economic interests of the US", the vast majority want nothing to do with Russia unless the government is changed. Trust = blown. It's done, no going back. I have accepted that we should be looking into mitigating the use tac nukes or chemical weapons via force we can transfer to the Ukrainian's, and be prepared for their employment. If he is considering using them, nothing is going to change that now. Let's hope that units says "no thanks" when the order is given. Good for them. That's what happens when you send young Russian kids to die for nothing. The Ukrainian's have Mel on their side, the Russians, do not.

Up to 40,000 Russian soldiers killed, wounded, captured or MIA in Ukraine, NATO estimates (msn.com) Damn. If this is even close to true there's no way Russia can sustain this for long. Eventually word gets back to the families what's happening.

Considering EMP range is increased with altitude to a relative blast yield… Yeah people would probably not be ok with the resultant crash of every airborne commercial aircraft within hundreds of miles, not to mention the mass attack to infrastructure of countries not directly involved in hostilities. Setting off a nuke in the modern age whether in or outside the atmosphere is the unacceptable escalation to any conflict. That should be pretty clear at this point to anybody sane.

I hope MX had their cyber awareness CBT complete, my whole shop was overdue by a month, it's a wonder that we got anything to fly. My learning stated I never had to take it again when I took it a year ago.

NATO estimates Russian casualties at 40k with 7k-15k KIA. Crazy! Thats more losses than the US suffered at IWO Jima.

Good. We could use some cuts in some programs.

You’re right, nothing lasts forever getting it while you can. We can make coin but that’s normally reserved for overtime, extra duty if you will. Right now the trough is full and piling high during normal duty. When the well dries up, some of the herd will move on to greener pastures. Such is life and I wish everyone the best as you only have OneLife! Despite this industry being cyclic, find your niche/happy place!
