As a former Tank PL that is truly terrifying if they have all the bugs worked out. 4 ATGMs from one vehicle could really put a hurt on a Tank Platoon, let alone the likely 2 other Uran 9s in the Russian Platoon as well, all unmanned and operated from a safe space behind a terrain feature out of direct fire. |

The U.S. ships a shitload of stuff by barge - a lot more than people realize. I've never understood why Russia hasn't utilized the Interstate system through more of their country. Even decent two lane gravel roads would improve their economy. A lot of their roads are mud or dirt, and they become largely impassable twice a year for long periods. Yes, rail and highway construction would help that, but Russians and commies suck at large infrastructure engineering projects. Probably could have done it had they not pissed away so much money on SSTs, space program, Mig-25, supersonic bombers, etc. |

Had a 124 fly over the house at 2k feet a few months ago, have been checking my flightradar24 ever since to see when the next one comes to Houston. A couple of years ago I sat below the final approach to our airport's main runway, meanwhile a 124 came in on a shallow long final.I stood right below the glidepath and took cell phone video . He flew about 20 feet directly over my head. I was giggling in awe aftwards. |
