Chinese Su-35 Fighters Prove Their Mettle; Blind The Radar Of Taiwanese F-16 Pilots During Encounter – Reports

Can you imagine the outcry if we lost 24 F-15EXs in six months of combat operations. Russia has lost two squadrons of the latest Su-35 in Ukraine General Staff $450M worth of Russian airpower destroyed in one attack. Crimea explosions: Forbes calculates cost of destroyed Russian aircraft

That is where the similarity stops.

The resemblance between me and BQZIP's mom is striking.

In a recent "incident" in Russian occupied Crimea, 9 Russian combat aircraft (SU-24's and SU-30's), were destroyed on the ground at an airbase. Pravda claims it was a "Violation of Fire Safety Requirements." Yeah a bunch of well placed explosives will violate your fire safety requirements. Before After

The FBI was tipped off by an informer close to Trump who guided them to where documents were kept, according to reports

22 Hillary Clinton Emails Dubbed Top Secret As noted in the investigation liberals don't like to talk about, this was a DELIBERATE effort to remove TS/SCI material from a classified server or package and put it on an unclassified email system...and Comey let her off the hook for it. There are two standards of justice in the country and sadly Conservatives are getting the shaft.

Ukraine was not exactly a corruption free bastion of sunshine and roses before this thing started, but they are certainly the lesser of two evils. Much has been made of the fighting spirit of their people, this video provides a glimpse of life after the Russians leave and some reflections of the Russians from the occupation. At the end of the day the people in this this video were just rural people trying to live their lives likely without any concern for the world politics that surrounded them.

It was worse than that but the liberals will never admit just how F'd up their messiah was. "I will transmit this to Vladimir"

The loss numbers for Russia are staggering. In my humble opinion as a knuckle dragging ham-fisted pilot we need to do the following: 1. Continue to enable Ukraine to punish Russia. 2. Provide Putin an off ramp. 3. Think about a post-conflict Ukraine and what happens to all these weapons we have provided.

USAF Finally found a way to get rid of the A-10

This war and the number of casualties Russia is sustaining will change their society for years to come. Latest DoD estimates released yesterday and reported in the Washington Post suggest Russian has sustained 80,000 killed or wounded in just SIX MONTHS. As a frame of reference the United States suffered 160,000 casualties (58,000 deaths), over TEN years during the Vietnam War. Russian casualties from their invasion of Afghanistan were at 15,000 killed and 35,000 wounded, again over ten years. Afghanistan losses caused great debate in their society which ultimately caused them to quit and leave. It is important to keep in mind Russia's total population is about 1/3 of the United States and these losses will impact a far larger portion of the population...even as Putin tries to cover up those losses. More and more it looks like Putin has bet his future on the outcome which I hope we and others are using as we calculate and employ our strategy and response. -
Didn't take them long after I retired. The Sky Clubs are just STUPID right now, even with the new three hour prior rule I often see a line to get in. Delta continues to stumble and the Skyclub is yet another example. They had a line for Diamonds but recently ended that, further discounting their best customers.

Its not Rocket Surgery... AFSOC already used the same model with PC-12/U-28. Take them to the dirt in a slick bird and save your mission birds for high end training and combat. This is a simple training issue, tail draggers are different not cosmic.

A lot of chat on the financial side the past few weeks about the economic crisis hitting China which has resulted in frozen bank accounts and some large protests (that were crushed brutally with violence). Some of more alarmist pundits are predicting the CCP will lose control within the next two months. Communist governments have a history of shifting focus to external "enemies" when things start to get bad and the situation with Nancy also escalated a lot of nationalistic fervor on social media. Whatever the situation it is clear they are seriously prepping for a fight. In the three images below taken this past November you can see their focus on countering our naval power.

Valid question as well. I learned to fly in a J3 Super Cub and of course there are few unique skills associated with tailwheel aircraft. I am not in the know but I would assume the initial cadre will get a tailwheel transition then it will become just another part of the syllabus. I also think AFSOC will eventually acquire a few slick 802's for training.
