Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CletusRoundbelly: Looked like after the first hit, there was a road wheel laying in the street. I was like " that track is gonna come off"....and Yuri backed up and peeled it right off like clockwork. Also looked like they tried to rotate the turret and either lost turret drive power or it jammed due to ring damage. Thought the same about the turret jamming, smoke shot out the barrel on the 3rd hit |

I've read the comments and watched videos the last couple days about how not helpful Mig 29s would be. I'm going to go against the grain and think they are exactly what is needed. The Ukrainians aren't stupid, they seem to be fighting very well and know what they need. They didn't ask for F35s, Arleigh Burke destroyers or M1 Abrams. They asked for SAMs, Anti-Tank Missiles and Mig 29s. Also apparently Putin can be easily fooled if airplanes are transferred a certain way and throw up his hands and say "they got me" as if there is some international court that decides if the action provokes him.
I'm betting the changeouts of NATO equipment and training can be accomplished way faster than said. From conversation with my kids in the military from their tech schools, every training class has a LOT of wasted time. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Walleyeguy24: Nice try on the victim card assholes. We have plenty of video evidence of war crimes. Daily. While war is a terrible, ugly thing, what Russia has done in recent history is not what any civilized society would do. Especially when this is strictly an offensive campaign to eliminate civilians - none of those people being shelled daily pose a risk to a single person in Russia. The fact that these orders are being followed throughout the country in many towns and cities shows that this isn't just the teachings and wishes of a terrible human- it is the majority opinion of Russians. While their have been some desertions and some have surrendered, there has been countless instances of civilians being targeted throughout the country. Is there much doubt they would do just about anything they are told and okay with that? Is not what any civilized MODERN society would do. Don’t forget that not that long ago all countries including the US, bombed civilian population centers as legitimate war time targets. The West is unique in following a sanitized version of war where only enemy combatants, uniformed or not, are legitimate targets. Russia, the rest of Asia (minus maybe Japan and possibly South Korea), Africa, you could even make the argument that large parts of Central and South America as well, don’t necessarily have that mindset. We may be horrified by what Russia is doing but it isn’t unique from a historical perspective. I imagine that sooner or later those days may be back for all players. War is a part of human nature. |

It's replacing dedicated bombers and retains some air to air capability but isn't going to fight like the 27/30/35 The Strike Eagle is is still an Eagle.

Is there anything really new? Russia is continuing to try to expand, trying to lay seige to Kiev. Largely the russians are having to pay for every inch they take. Russian ships are now also shelling Mariupol. Some batches of civilians escaped Mariupol, but really Mariupol is under siege, under shelling, and has been trapped for quite a while. Both sides are taking losses, russians are taking a lot more. Is that about it.

LONDON (AP) U.S. chipmaker Intel unveiled plans on Tuesday to invest up to 80 billion euros ($88 billion) across Europe as part of an ambitious expansion aimed at evening out imbalances in the global semiconductor industry that have led to big chip shortages. CEO Pat Gelsinger said Intel was investing the money over the next decade "along the entire semiconductor value chain." The company plans to spend tens of billions of dollars setting up or expanding chip production sites and establishing research and development or design centers in Germany, Ireland, France and Italy. "Why are we doing this? Because the world has an insatiable demand for semiconductors, or chips," Gelsinger said in a webcast. |
