Hopefully the Ukrainians will put the physics into practice aplenty once they finish training.
Did we give them/sell them A-10’s??
I read that we are considering it. But then I later read that Ukraine requests something “fast and versatile”, not the A-10. Seems like a beggars/choosers thing to me.
I’d say that given the threat rich environment any number of Warthogs would suffer immense attrition.
Best policy seems to be HIMARS and other precision artillery systems.
(or create a NO FLY zone of NATO forces above Ukraine you spineless jellyfishes!)
Russia would most definitely have called that bluff and we would now be at war with them. Putin would love a pretext for a larger war with the west. In spirit I agree.
Hehehe I know- I’m just S#itposting.
Yeah, me too!
Three squads of vipers, one of hogs and one of something like C-27s to keep those HIMARS boys agile and supplied. Russians will be crying all the way to the border.
And of course keep that fantastic intel coming. Rivet joint is pwning the orcs something fierce since day -25
RAF Waddington’s ‘Rivet Joint’ seems on permanent deployment to Roumania/Poland. Can’t think why hope the team stays safe. Slava Ukraini.
Read a good post on Twitter on the availability of ammo for the HIMARS launchers.
- 16 delivered of 500 reported in the US inventory;
- Production of those missiles is ~9000 a year;
- 16 HIMARS firing 2 pods a day is 192 missiles a day, or ~5800 a month;
So, selective use, picking targets through gathered intel, is better than spamming them.
That plane just gets cooler and cooler
Yup

Warning, avoid this video if you are on the fence about the DCS version… it may sway you lol
I guess more of a CIA Ministry but I was wondering how they could take out Al Z. with a Hellfire with no collateral! I had no idea this existed! …
Yeah, that’s a brutal thing.
Not sure if this has been posted here or not. I may have gotten it from another thread and forgotten
