Standard shit show is what you meant to type 🙂

And those crews arrived Sunday but sat until Thursday waiting on bureaucracy to be cleared.

So 'stealthy' 🙂

They did get some actual hits though

From what I can see on unclass side, it appears nothing was targeted at urban areas except for the mossad headquarters. The airbases got hit pretty hard with one confirmed runway hit but 'apparently' no real damage. They were able to hit some targets back during the Al Assad attack so they are capable but it does seem strange. Hard to tell if incompetent or intentional poor targeting for some. They had to know that they had already poked the bear and regardless of the BDA, they were going to get a substantial strike back with nothing to show for it.

Good rollup of the strikes. The airbase video was intense.

They struck a bunch of early warning and SAM sites in Syria already, paving way to Iran.

Capt/FO dude/chick is what you meant to say I'm sure.

Their recruitment commercials have changed quite a bit too.

You don't read enough Dale Brown 🙂

I can't find it but there is a great European airline compnay with a ride along that shows all the jamming/spoofing once they hit UKR & ME. Found it

They better slap a higher classification on that bad boy.

OSINTdefender on twitter is a fantastic read today 🙂

Same as the 130 crews filing MANPADS shots every other week in AFG 15 years in.

If we're being honest here. Ukraine can't sustain the manpower required longer term. You can give them all the equipment they want/need, the level of manpower UKR needs isn't there longer term. Negotiate to pre-invasion (the second one) borders and start there.

Gotta be some talks this fall/winter for Ukraine. No way they can sustain a numbers game this long even with full NATO support. Gonna have to give some land no matter how painful. Re-build and go full Uncle Ho in those disputed lands.

Such a brilliant mind. Couldn't even make the network not public.

Apologies, wasn't sure what exactly you were asking. LIke the article says, been a thing for a while now....

Space Force? It's been a thing for a while now.

Wonder if the AH-64 hour(s) will show up on the good Col's bio

My favorite part of fam flights with fixed wing guys was with them shaking the cyclic to pass off controls....
