The lack of mine hunting isn’t significant at all. There are a lot of companies that have solutions that would love a chance to publicly disclose their abilities. The issue is AD/C-UAS in the entire AO. One can clear channels in sea lanes easily with near 100% certainty. One cannot...

I’m not sure, as I am sure the Ukrainians would be willing to hit it there if they thought it was strategically advantageous. I agree with a caveat “to this point”, one aspect that I believe that both you and @brihard are missing, that @Furniture and I have tried to point out is that IF Iran...

I don’t think storing firearms with magazines in them is a good idea — but it is very common for large private collectors and museums to add authentic looks. If I had enough extra savings to have 300k sitting around, I would, as there are some things that cash is best for, not illegal...

So your saying there is a chance for 66 F-35 and 66 F-15EX…

Hey I think it’s in everyone’s best interests to get at least 66 F-35 I’m also honest enough to give my opinion on what I’d like to see if y’all walk.

Is having that much money at home a crime? We know it is not. So why judge him on it.

Again, as a US Taxpayer none of that means a lot. IIRC the ‘wealth’ was spread around as to the expected purchase quantity.

Oh fully agree. My point is that no one is safe. America and Israel have a modest cushion above others before things grind to a stop. They can be flooded with seawater - I have zero idea on what that does long term though. Everyone is. At the end of the day the current situation isn’t...

Yuck he has an M-14. Edit I guess had is the better term.

It is, but for Israel it really isn’t. Down here it is buttressed by the SOR. So there is a cushioning affect in the two countries that threw the rocks into the pool of tranquility. We have a heck of a lot larger environmental issues beyond that. 100% Certain things need to be run on...

Except the countries best isolated from the oil price hits are the US and Israel. I’d suggest both leaders have their own reasons for keeping it going right now.

The joke is the article doesn’t show its true colors until the end. It was a pretty decent article up till then. It seems to neglect the decision was already made for the 88 F-35, the only portion is that Canada has debated in backtracking from that. Canada has gotten about 4B USD...

Then those nations may decide that Iran isn’t worth the air it breathes. Western countries are all kumbaya until the economic reality hits. Then it’s scratched earth baby. Iran needs to be careful how far it pushes — or there will be consequences.

I think you both are on a similar path. I believe the CAF needs more trades to allow for specialization. Early entry is simply diagnostic and plug n play replacement. That should be as @markppcli says possible in 6 months (need to be cognizant of war time needs) and build from there...

I think Iran is miscalculating on what DJT may or may not do. He may loose the midterms because of Iran, and if he does, he’s going to give Iran 2 years of raining death.
