Pretty high speed stuff actually.It seems only a shop that has no clue about guns and optics would build such a negative moa base! I mean… you do need to aim higher to make hits farther away….
It's the only way to simulate dialing and shooting at 1,400 yds on a 100yd range!.
The DeltaSealSOC units all run that setup for their snipers.

The US never trampled over Iran, as Iran was one of our biggest allies in the region.
The Muslim revolutionaries saw the US and any Western nation as their enemies, for ideological and religious reasons, but you often find that these types of groups are almost always proxies for major powers.
If you read through the Soviet archival records on the 1979 Revolution, it’s a mixed bag of claiming total shock that it happened, vs them thinking they could share some kind of common ground with them, and the practical aspects of ousting the Shah.
The Soviets did not like it that the US sold F-4Es, F-E/F, and F-14A with full weapons suite to Iran. The Soviets were used to being able to violate Iranian airspace at their pleasure until introduction of the F-14A/AWG-9 into the mix, so they saw US supplying of Iran as a major strategic threat to them close to their Caucuses Republics’ borders.
Remember that the Soviets and Brits invaded Iran back in 1941.
It’s best to spend the time to put in the reps and years studying all of these things before jumping straight into rhetoric. I would recommend avoiding rhetoric altogether and focus more on geography, then history.
Precious-few people even in the US diplomatic corps or senior levels of DoD know any of this information, because of the schooling system in the US.
There is nothing ironic about my posts about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine relative to this subject. I don’t have a ADHD Twitter account, nor do I rely on any of these stupid social media platforms for primary source information.
What you’re going to see moving forward is a bigger house of cards built on internet-based knowledge only, where millennials and Gen Z truly believe that what’s on the internet is comprehensive enough to inform them well.
They don’t even realize that most of the information online is not accessible to them, as it’s in the Deep Web, and most of that is silo’d.
Buying a plane after retirement

Holy shit! Dude I used to work with just cut off his right arm trying to clear the prop on his plane… 
He was manually rotating the prop trying to clear a starter issue; did it right the first time, but forgot to turn off the ignition the second time. He’s damn lucky to be alive.
He’s an extremely experienced pilot, with 10’s of thousands of hours in jets and of course his private aircraft…please take your training seriously and be deliberate in all things related to flying. This is a singularly unforgiving activity in all phases of flight, even the ground ops, and you need to slow things down, especially when first starting out.
