The TB-2 is the AK-47, but I would like to see it perform against a country that has a competent AA net.

The issue with these drones is 3 fold. Hitting them is hard, finding them is hard, and hitting them economically is hard. Have a look at Dynetics solution...re-usable as well... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwHunj46Ko0&t=61s I was thinking of good old Flak guns, but that's very very cool.

So in real terms we back to the 80's however we need to look long and hard at Russia's faults as well as Ukraine's great efforts before we claim a new way of warfare 3 x the drone budget, with a lot of it focused on low altitude(underestimated shown by this war) No need to do fancy analysis or warg...

Martlet is putting in work rn. Wow.

Ukraine is gonna change from 152 to 155 and then we can send 10k guided ammunition which cost 35k a pop. Drones have been able to rein with minimal interference, which is a shocker even for the drones, drones, drones fanclub most of us are. Artillery being king on the battlefield again thanks to dro...

Being poorer and less influential was the motivation I guess.

Boris has got it right, the sanctions need to stay even after a ceasefire, to ensure Russia is weakened permanently.

Don't let them regroup like 1989, and do this 10 times worth as a Chinese vassel.

It is funny that the Russians don't have a third gen ATGM.

That T-34 spam legacy negatively affecting the Russian army now.

It's kinda crazy how Ukraine drones are still operating on day 4. If we get more footage on day 5 Turkey might just give up the S-400 due to reputation alone.

Brexiters are pawns in Putin's game.

Rumors obviously.

Japan getting extremely serious.

Many more A's and a total of 84 F-35 B's potentially.

Ukraine/Poland/Baltic States and Taiwan at the same time is a given at this point.

Yay for two front wars.

I don't think anyone has ever really complained about the FMS process. It's insanely straight forward. The US gov buys it like it would for its own force and presto add a fee and bam done.

SO does that infer that the F-35 is the Finnish Air Forces preferred platform or that it has actually won the contest? Results of the test have come out, however some universities don't look at test scores I guess when there are words like sovereignty and CIA around. The Finnish military cannot giv...

Instead 5 years wasted, 20% economic hit inflicted all for people to spout nonsense about courts and sovereignty lol. Scotland basically up in arms for an indy vote.

The US like the EU is trying to get UK to live up to their commitments. No it's not like China at all, but whatever troll on. If only the UK was part of a Union that the economic and political weight to stand up to China/USA(on trade) when it comes down to it. Instead 5 years wasted, 20% economic hi...

Yup. Covers are still on T_T

well it was nice knowing the maint crew i guess.

People are oddly proud about being impervious to reason and facts. Seems to me you are looking at a your own reflection in the mirror In America 50 % are traitors and the other 50% are patriots. Sadly the traitors can't tell that they are the traitors themselves. I wonder which the patriots or the ...
