It ain’t that easy to shoot down stealth aircraft.

Hell, it’s not easy to shoot down non-stealth aircraft

The pilot evaded all six missiles while not being able to deploy any chaff/flare countermeasures.

There’s oil there, Alaska isn’t going anywhere.

Would explain why the Air Force used PS3s, can’t be behind the tech curve!

One hit wonder.

If you remember to do it after getting pissed off enough at it, sure 😀

No, it’s not.

What you’re talking about is UAC flipping out because you double clicked on something and it want’s admin privilege (the GUI equivalent of what bioemerl talked about).

I’m talking about exactly what bioemerl was: You open cmd window, try to run a command and it bitches that you need admin rights, as an admin. So, you have to go back, search for cmd, then select the option: Run as administrator.

Probably the fact that, even if you define the account as Admin in windows, you still need to select “Windows sudo” (run as Administrator) before it actually elevates privilege.

What he said. When the Patriot system started killing Khinzels, it was hit by debris. Russian trolls on the internet immediately claimed a “dead Patriot” for what turned out to be like an hours work when they realized the system was behaving oddly…

That being said, if they really did kill an S400, I guess that means it wasn’t an S400 that allegedly shot down a HIMARS rocket the other day.

Don’t think that value includes “items in the ship” (like aircraft) as part of the weight. This article seems to lay out what some of the differences are. Seems to boil down to “not evey Navy counts every canoe that they own”.

I suppose a few trillion dollars per year will do that though

Yep, American Un-Healthcare at its finest 😁

Depends on how you count “size”. US Navy is 4th in ship count, 1st in tonnage at 3.5m tons.

Russia is second at 800,000 tons

China is third at 700,000 tons

Japan is fourth at 400,000 tons

Please show me where any country is “shitting themselves over Russia” after the master stroke in self destruction Russia has displayed in Ukraine?

You’re correct, it was the truck

You have to wonder if Putin’s ass is jealous of the shit his mouth spews.

So, if the US provided a HIMARS cluster munition that dropped MREs and a note saying “there’s more food if you surrender” they could wrap this thing up in a week to 10 days?

Non-paywalled article

US Govt: I want a plane that no one can find
Lockheed Martin delivers
US Govt: Wait, I didn’t mean me!

None at all. On the plus side, the last time someone went that pants-on-head stupid and put mines where they shouldn’t, it was a very short war.

So, the take away is Russia is so shitty they’ll fight to get out of it?
