A10s doing CAP patrols hunting Shaheds would be pretty neat.

Hell kinda makes me want to buy DCS and build that scenario.

(This is at disconnector)

Do you seriously think straight white people don’t know straight white people can be wrong? It’s also condescending and smacks of self righteousness.

This proclamation is the kind of stuff we hear from leftist activists, also using exceptions to rule a majority. Oh I know a bad straight couple and a good gay couple so therefore the ideal to adopt a child shouldn’t be straight couples.

Humans are statistical. Arguing examples of exceptions is not responsible judgement to apply to the whole.

As I said in my PM to you I have gay family members and gay folks in my life that see life normally and the only ones making these kinds of proclamations you make are woke.

Seeing this on this forum is sad. Our own kind will very well be turning us into HR.

NY post is blocked. CSM quotes two assistant professors at two different schools. VAO article has vague posturing by a biden simp. read the part where she talks about f16's. Lol. Your "proof" is bullshit. It's your opinion delivered very poorly.

I thought I recently read that we (USA) pulled out of funding Arrow-3. Something about not being all that impressed with what we were seeing with how it was performing. It was in money trouble until the Krauts injected 5 billion into it pretty recently.

Just a vague recent memory, so I could be pretty wrong.

What we should be thinking about is training a few pilots on the F-117 and transfer 2 airframes to Ukraine. They can take those and penetrate the shit out of Russian-cntrolled airspace, maybe taking out some very important targets. Don't know what their un-refueled range is, but one of the those bomber bases would seem like a great target.

Why don’t the Ukrainians start making a Shaheed copy or something comprable and use them in large numbers to hit Crimea and Rostov on Don and other Russian areas? Seems like they would wear down Russian ADA and also most likely score some hits.

The problem is that there will not be any comprehensive air defense solutions for several years. 2 NASAMs do not solve that problem.

Exactly. The stock of just the various AIM missile in western stockpiles is in the many thousands and are regularly produced. Plus the other missiles it can shoot.

At least he is off the Patriot Only Thing Can Shoot Down Shaheds narrative.

“Amassing”???? Really?  I thought Rooskies have always had around 200K at the front. No? 180K sounds like Russia Troops Evaporating At The Front.

Maybe the previous 200K was deployed in occupied but not the front?

I don't answer questions that are about things I didn't say.
You're clearly not even reading the things you're responding to. Go back to where I said why Germany sent Patriots. Read it again, take your time and sound it all out, it will make sense, I promise.

It is reported that the Russians have no motivation, but they are driven into meat assaults under various threats.

Well, we have already seen unsuccessful attempts to drive Ukrainian forces out of that area. This time will end in the same way as the previous ones - with the corpses of the invaders. This is their choice!

If you are counting ROI, Iskander is about a 3:1 ratio to a Patriot, a Shahed is a 50:1.  That matters less than the fact that they have an extremely finite magazine, each Patriot used on a drone is one more Iskander that gets through once they run dry.  If you want the ROI on that, the Shahed 136's warhead is about 60lbs, an Iskander's is around 1500lbs NEW.

The real story to this just shows the overall target selection and attrition problem that got Ukraine in the mess they are in with air defense in the first place. Patriot is not something they can not afford to squander regardless of ROI.  They WILL stop being resupplied, there is no question about that.

ESCALATION!!! A tired old song. Russia is doing everything they possibly can or think they can get away with. If they had ANY unused capability they would have already thrown it in. Barefoot, sneakers, and putrid food on the front. Meat bag attacks. Mosins. Frankenmobiles. Baofeng radios and Telegram for tactical comms.

Like I said, the USG believes it.  It's almost as if there are things happening you don't know about.

https://www.reuters.com/world/russia-china-hold-talks-anti-missile-defence-russian-foreign-ministry-2023-06-27/
China has not condemned the invasion, and Washington and other Western allies said earlier this year that China was considering providing weapons to Russia, something Beijing denies.

Your speculation based on a speculative Reuters article is not fact.

I'm not wrong.  Deal with it.


I wish a daemon was in charge of Russian army strategy. It would be epic surprise. On them.

God this is getting old.
What do you think you are accomplishing in this thread?
Do you think anyone in here has any control over anything happining in this war?
People speculate all the time, so what?
Many opinions given in here are wrong, so what?
Nothing posted in here will affect the war in any way.

You seem to have some legitimate clout in the real world, go use it. Help those people get the equipment they need.
Every time you come in here, you act like the war is already lost and Ukraine is Checkmated.
I have no idea if that is true or not, but I do like to read about the events of the day here.
I apreciate the people who post links to current events. I take opinions in here with a grain of salt.

I don't think you are a Putin ally, I don't think you are a fool. I do think you look down on posters in this thread, and I really hate the way you belittle people.

Thank you for offering your opinion on one important topic, we all get your point. At this point, either move on or offer solutions. This thread doesn't need another 5 pages of you.

You and R0N have the same attitude, it got old with him, it gets old with you.

First of all, UN-NAMED SOURCES are speculation.  They can't be taken as credible in any meaningful setting and that's a fact.

Second, the only quoted name in your sources is a deputy SOS, Wendy Sherman.  AND SHE DOES NOT SAY SHE BELIEVES CHINA WILL SEND WEAPONS.  She said she is CONCERNED.  Concern is not BELIEF and belief is more than concern.  

So when you cite sources as FACTS that are not only not facts but don't even support your premise you are in fact lying.
