Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fervid_dryfire: The left did SO much damage to this country with a stolen election via vote fraud; you are describing one avenue of that damage. We are likely only seeing a fraction of the total damage to be inflicted on this country before the current Pretendent's term is done. I'm glad that Ukraine is doing so well despite the circumstances, at least. Trust and confidence in our core institutions have crumbled. Not just in the dirty cops of the fbi but even the military. Thanks to the dems weaponizing every aspect of government against political enemies in the name of gaining more and more power. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AlmightyTallest: lol, Poland, you getting scary.
That is a lot of M142 HIMARS systems Lockheed could have sold Poland if they had greater production capacity. I recall Poland wanted to order 500 HIMARS systems, but it is understandable that they can't wait years to get them. We seriously need to increase our capacity for manufacturing greater numbers of weapons systems and also have an additional built in surge capacity for even more, should the need arise. It is a joke that we can only produce such a pathetic number of HIMARS launchers in a given year. The same is true for many other weapons systems as well, to include naval ships. We need multiple plants capable of producing the same systems. And we need multiple yards capable of building a single class of ships. |

Ukraine has been pounding the shit out of their supply lines, stores, and forces for awhile now. They’ve been knocking their battle lines back while re-taking key terrain and territory. The bridge is a nice cherry on top, especially since Russia now has to resupply overland on exterior lines - even when it works it takes longer than it did before. Russian forces will be forced to fall back en mass over the river to the left bank unless they want to get totally wiped out. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BerettaGuy: Ukraine Airs ‘Romantic’ Video Asking France for More Guns By AFP for Kyiv Post Published Oct. 13 at 12:55 pm Ukraine’s defence ministry sought to woo France on Wednesday, Oct.12, with a mock love-letter video, urging its ally to send more artillery as a “romantic gesture” to repel the Russian invasion. The unusual plea, set to Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg’s sultry hit “Je T’aime… Moi Non Plus”, comes as Kyiv urges Western nations to help bolster its air defences after a rash of deadly Russian air strikes in recent days. “Romantic gestures take many forms,” reads the text in the video posted to the ministry’s Twitter account, opening with footage of pink roses, milk chocolate and a sunset over the Seine river. “But if you really want to win our hearts,” it adds before cutting to images of large guns in action, “nothing beats 155-mm highly mobile self-propelled artillery”.
That's hilarious. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By weptek911: It’s absolute bullshit to see that! Those APCs don’t belong to the government, they belong to the American people. They should be surplussed and sold. Not dumped into the ocean for whatever reason.. My local Sheriff Department had one they had fixed up and professionally painted black and gold for their SWAT team. Obama government took it away and shipped it to a Air National Guard bombing range to be used as a target. I like the M113 as much as anyone, but there is a reason it is falling out of service with the US, and any other military that can afford a replacement. Fundamentally, it's a volume problem - you can't stuff enough engine inside the typical M113 to carry the weight of weapons, equipment, and armor that is truly needed to fight and survive today. The Australian M113AS4 is probably among the best upgraded versions out there (and some Turkish types), where they added a 6th road wheel and another 24in or so in length, but they are still limited. I still support sending them because they could be fine for the roles slightly behind the lines that we still have them for: armored ambulance and mortar carriers, and things like that. Those particular A2s being turned into artificial reefs are scrap.

He just barely kept a lid on unrest not long ago, and I think the Belarus military is only something like 50k troops anyway. That being said, have to manage an additional active front would obviously not be a good thing for Ukraine. But collapse of the Lukashenko regime is a greater-than-zero possibility. |

Kelly Johnson's practice was to ask for the five minute answer from experts, knowing that it would be 90% of a long drawn out analysis. How do you know that a long drawn out test program wasn't done to use HARMs and other US weapons on MIG-29s? The US bought 21 MIG-29s from Moldova in 1997 to keep them from being bought by Iran. Note where they were transported to. "Between October and November 1997, the MiG-29s were prepared for transport by C-17A Globemaster III to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. Along with the jets came spare parts and a significant haul of air-to-air missiles: 344 infrared-guided R-60 (AA-8 Aphid), 112 infrared-guided R-73 (AA-11 Archer), and 51 radar-guided R-27R (AA-10 Alamo) weapons." https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/44661/the-last-time-the-united-states-got-its-hands-on-a-fleet-of-mig-29-fighters |

Missiles now, domestic production ASAP. Same for the Korean tanks, not sure about the jets. I know it's a brand new aircraft, and there might be a bit of overlap in capabilities but I want to see Polish KF-21s flying alongside their F-35s. Perhaps Poland will chip in for later versions with capabilities closer to what the F-22 offers... |
