In The 1994 Chechnya war, this issue was evident. Russian troops failed to adapt quickly to combat conditions. NCOs and officers lacked training to carry out complex operations without upper ...

RE: Naval and Defense News

Assuming the photo ISNT fake...what does it suggest?

Well, that at some point in time, at some location, an F-22 was generally in the forward field of view of an SU-35. Wow. I’m sure the US Air Force is scrambling to find out how it was possible for someone to see an F-22

RE: War Drums Beating in Syria

<t> Oldsarge, surely you know that Russian missiles are so good that they can take out 2 American Tomahawks. What is amazing is all those tomahawks the Syrians intercepted over targets that were never fired upon.<br/>
Apparently they were able to incinerate the missiles<br/>
As well as no one has ...

It's possible, actually very likely, that 100+ missiles were fired with the expectation that the Russian S-400, and other newer systems would be involved. Therefore, the abundance of ordinance guaranteed that it exceeded the saturation level ...

Yes! All 100+ missiles hit this 3 targets. US missiles so weak that to destroy three buildings needed 100 missiles. Past time, after Shailat hitting we can count shell holes. Do you count 100 shell holes on this photo”<br/>

<t> Tomahawks have been doing this for 30 years; but I am interested to see how the JASSM-ERs launched from the B-1b bombers faired.

True. Of course, IRL the military is trying to make it as lopsided and boring as possible. No one planning anything wants excitement!

But I agree, taking out 3 campuses with 110 tomahawks and JASSM-ERs isn’t a whole
