Those dates are a little unfair, the su34 is basically two decades older, but got put on Ice. And the newer models F16 are a huge leap up from the original 70s model.
It’s not like the Ukrainians are getting new block 70s. Thery’re almost certainly old block 40s on the verge of retirement.
True, but the MLU/block 50 version is also from the mid to late 90s.
I’m more interested in knowing how Lauren Phillips feels about being an F-16 in this meme.
I’m sure she’s flattered as a true patriot. I know she is. I’ve seen her in patriotic wear.
Not, like, a LOT of patriotic wear by square inches. But enough.
Nobody’s gonna mention that this is an F-16B cockpit and Ukraine got single-seater F-16MLUs?
Can’t even enjoy this any more, I’m like sandpaper atm.
I should inform you that the search term you’re looking for is “aeromorph”.
You’re welcome.
Nope. That’s definitely not what I was looking for.
Wdym? Aeromorphs are pure NCD. Living aircraft. You telling me that isn’t something NCD would come up with?
Those words are not in the bible. Or Quran. Or any holy book.
By the way, does anybody have a credible take on the current status/outlook of the war?
I hear nothing about the Kursk offense now, but mainstream news mention recent Russian successes in the East. I understand striking deep into Russia with US weapons would be critical, but I think that is unlikely to happen before the elections.
I am (again) worried for Ukraine, and to our Western politicians f*cking this up.
I love yall but yall gotta stop doing this in NCD. Is there a more credible community yall can have these discussions in? We’re here for jokes and shitposting. Real, honest, fact-based discussions (especially involving politics) really don’t belong here. [email protected] might be a better fit.
Yeah, nuke that serious post from orbit!
Good mod post
No answer received here should be trusted regardless how credible it sounds anyway, you may as well ask ChatGPT how the war is going, you’ll get a similar level of trustability
You can sign up for ISW’s newsletter, they do a good job of reporting what’s going on from a fairly dry, but western perspective. Last I saw they were reporting that Russia is aggressively counter attacking in Kursk to attempt to dislodge the Ukrainians before the fall mud sets in. It’s not looking great on the front but there are quite a few indications that the Russian attacks are not sustainable long-term. That said, I’ve seen reports saying that for a while now and the grinding attrition has continued.
People have been saying that basically from day one yet the Russians keep coming. Obviously this isn’t sustainable long term but nobody knows how long they can keep going.
This was not the
By the way does anybody
I was hoping for
