Also what, like two more SU out of service and that's all of them right?? LOL
Not even close.
Well over a hundred to go. But there's no way of telling how flight worthy they are.
Because modern air war has little if anything to do with dogfighting (planes fighting planes with guns). It is all about using missiles to hit targets. Both on the ground and in the air. And those missiles can also be fired from the ground. SAMs (surface-to-air-missile) are used to hit planes, drones, other missiles. Also MANPADs (portable shoulder fired missiles) pose a threat to aviation.
In an air superiority battle overwhelming air power is used to take out the SAM batteries. This is difficult and costly. Something neither Russia nor Ukraine are currently able to do. So both are using jets in a minimal capacity.
Recently Russia has ramped up the usage of jets to hit entrenched targets on the front line. Which has predictably resulted greater losses. And relatively meager gains.
Remember that the Express is a pro-Brexit, pro-Tory newspaper. And that their level of journalism is questionable at best.
There's a lot of crazy things in China that are related to this. Not just one child policy. There's a whole crisis of sexuality in China.
Yeah, look at the curves on that guy.
In fact the modern post-WW2 era is about as good as it gets. And that is indeed not much.
US does shit like this all the time. Guantanamo bay ring a bell? There are still people there who haven't been convicted of a crime.
Yeah, at this point they've broken so many rules of war that there aren't many left to break.
It's great that West African nations are taking care of this themselves. It is a moment of empowerment. They should take care of their own. Without interference from the outside. Neither from the West, nor Russia, nor China.
And still there are more Republicans that support him over any other candidate.
What I can't believe is that there are actually people in Russia that think that Crimea is the vacation spot they want to go to right now.
There were even traffic jams on the Russian side a while back.
