The War in Ukraine

Are you sure ?
Usually the Russians tend to hire competent people.

Some solid hits there, very little will be untouched inside that building. The SBU are going to end up being the golden standard to look to when it comes to drone use.

The guy is a fucking tool and most likely on the Russian payroll.

Hegseth or Trump?

Hegseth or Trump?

Yes.

2-3 A-50's are OS verifiable to be operational (I believe 3, but the image quality isn't the best to see tail numbers).
The Russians cannot repair subsystems on the 50's either -- so they will self divest even without anymore Ukrainian help now.

Ack. They’re definitely down to the last few birds.

Russia is now using the Tu-160's for hitting Ukraine conventionally - so you know the Tu-95 and 22 losses are hurting them.

That says a lot. Normally the 160s are reserved for ‘other duties.’

Maybe you can get some new Bison LAVII variants from GDLSC.

We're probably more likely to get them building AJAX than to restart LAV II for us haha.

I’d suggest the XM-30 MICV would be the best option for the first 1,200 units.

Based on recent performance, I'd go with a few hundred reconditioned Bradleys.

Usually being the key word here...

Remember that sailor out of Trinity that literally just thought he could walk into a Russian embassy & walk out a 'real' spy??



(Mind you, in that case I think they just plugged a leak for us rather than really "hire" him...)

Maybe they would let us make after market TOWs.

Ukraine: We've hit 41 strategic aircraft—including Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 bombers

Russia: It's just a scratch...It'll buff out

Kremlin: no Russian bombers destroyed, only damaged

Russia has moved to downplay the impact of Ukraine’s recent drone strikes against its long-range bomber fleet, insisting that damaged aircraft will be repaired, despite video and satellite evidence showing severe destruction at multiple airbases.

But I'm loving the enthusiasm Russia!!

There's even a new Tu-95 model for the enthusiasts among us!

That was my first thought.
But you also don’t have much in inventory so…
