India vs Pakistan
The real main takeaways are Chinese Air Defense doesn’t work agains modern precision stand-off missiles, airfields within striking distance of your adversary will be temporarily useless for recovery of aircraft you generated into the fight, and if you don’t have 5th Gen fighters with true VLO...- LRRPF52

India vs Pakistan
When your runways get cratered, you really have no choice but to cease air combat operations if there aren’t any divert bases with logistics to support continued sortie regeneration with armed and fueled birds. It’s one of the insidious things about precision cruise missiles that are stealth...- LRRPF52

India vs Pakistan
The Pakistani Air Force officer who briefed the press was doing his best impression of a senior USAF officer briefing at Red Flag, using as many words common in US Air power terminology and even his mannerisms and sentences mimicking that culture. Pakistani Air Force has been trained by the...- LRRPF52

WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed
I don’t put a bolt together without doing this for larger case head cartridges. The Dutch started doing it with their AR-10 production way back in the late 1950s-1960s, and those rifles tend to be freakin’ accurate, unbelievably so in the samples I have shot. I mainly got into that technique...- LRRPF52

India vs Pakistan
Russia isn’t a superpower though. They are a regional middle power at-best, who can’t even make noticeable territorial gains in a country they seeded with moles for centuries. Their Navy is a pathetic joke, were conscripts painted the Radomes on the Moskva with metallic paint (acts as an...- LRRPF52

India vs Pakistan
You have to understand that Russians in their intelligentsia don’t learn about the Winter War history. WWII is taught much differently to the few who will need to know foreign policy. I took these photos myself inside the Central Red Army Museum in Moscow: What Putin learned was how the...- LRRPF52

India vs Pakistan
The foreign ministry secretary who bragged about Putin’s strategic vision back in the 2000s said Finland, the Baltics, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Goergia would all be taken back, now that Russia has a strong man in again. We were having the discussion with...- LRRPF52

India vs Pakistan
The crazy thing is an F-35A or C carries about that same payload internally, giving up 2 of the AAMs: Rafale as you see configured there: 10,362lbs internal fuel before take-off 3x EFTs 6x HAMR glide bombs 2x Meteor 4x MICA F-35A/C 18,250lbs/19,750lbs internal fuel 8x SDBs (Small Diameter...- LRRPF52

India vs Pakistan
The CIA didn’t overthrow Poroshenko. Poroshenko was after Yanukovych. I think you meant to say they overthrew Yanukovych, who was really thrown out (left on his own after 4 months of protests) by Ukrainians because he was Putin’s puppet. He signed Putin’s Russia-Eurasia Economic Pact in Dec...- LRRPF52

Riding that train, high on cocaine… Kian Starmer better resign now…
Reminds me of the Saudi princes who were partying out East somewhere. They hired some girls to go advertise their party to people in the streets, then threw a banger at some palace. A girl who attended the party got the terrible news that her father had died, and broke down in tears. So the...- LRRPF52

Ukraine war Bullshit.
In Syria with their expeditionary units invited by Assad. Russian IADS SAM and Radar nodes are hand-in-hand with forward deployments of their expeditionary air forces, just like we do the same with Patriot batteries and other Air Defense systems. Russians also helped Iran install S-300 and...- LRRPF52

Desert Storm, though it was really a combination of battle-focused training, advanced tech, and IPB. Desert Storm was the most decisive military campaign of the 20th Century in my perspective, as it culminated with advancements in these areas, resulting in brutally-swift and decisive defeat...- LRRPF52

Something kicking off in Israel
And nobody can really accuse Trump of being anti-Israel since he oversaw the movement of the capitol from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and his daughter married a Jew. He also negotiated the Abraham Accords, which was more peace treaties between Israel and Arab neighbors than all US Presidents combined.- LRRPF52

Ever since Russia and France ceased designing, developing, and producing single-engine fighters at-scale, their FMS export potential had built-in restrictions that they can’t recover from any time soon. As the prospective customers witness their lackluster performance in contested airspaces...- LRRPF52

They’re already trying to establish expanded domestic semiconductor manufacturing infrastructure, since Su-57 requires substantially more SC elements than pretty much any fighter they’ve made before: They placed side-looking AESAs in the nose instead of doing a rotating swashplate like on...- LRRPF52

Ukraine war Bullshit.
Russians, Syrians, Iranians all with Russian AD training. Serbs and East Germans were much better at operating Soviet-era SAMs. Iraq had some East German contractors helping man SAM systems in ODS back in 1991. Serbs are of course well-known for the only shoot-down of an F-117A in 1999. Keep...- LRRPF52
