War in Ukraine

Ballsy..gotta keep those roads clear of FOD. Thats a terrible FOD walk.

Not too ballsy, Russian/Soviet aircraft were designed for rough field operation. They have special intakes and screens for rough field take-offs to reduce/prevent FOD incidents.

Damn... they must REALLY want those weapons.

Ahead of Biden-Yoon Meeting, US Accused of Spying on South Korea

Late last year, South Korea agreed to sell artillery shells to the United States. At the time, Seoul insisted the United States would be the ultimate destination for the weapons.

According to the leaked report cited by The New York Times, Yoon's secretary for foreign affairs, Yi Mun-hui, said the South Korean government "was mired in concerns" that Washington would divert the weapons to Ukraine.

The memo also allegedly included other internal South Korean deliberations about how best to respond to U.S. pressure to arm Ukraine's military.

Why does the US have to pay for 100K shells with SK? You would think the SK would provide especially considering our security commitments to their nation for past 70 years. BS

I dont trust anything Russia made/makes after seeing their tanks roll into Ukraine with their "Mattress Firm Buy One Box Spring get the Other Half Off" reactive armor.. You'd have to "assume" those upper air intakes actually work..

Too bad they didn't design engines like the C-130's where you can just toss a handful of Omani rocks into the intake and it chews up and spits it out.

True, but they are capable of and designed for it. I believe only our A-10s could land on roads without real fear of damaging the engines (not counting the V/STOL aircraft like AV-8 or F-35).

Watching a C-130 landing on a dirt strip and reversing the props is a sight. Huge dust cloud.

Try being on a C-130 landing in a field in Iraq to pick up a bunch of Marines under fire.
 
What's crazy is this might be the most damaging leak ever from the Pentagon. These folks are buffoons. Spying on Egypt and South Korea. A potential uprising in Israel of the military against the government.

Xiden Administration = managed decline out of control
 
is anyone shocked?

criticizing the official party line = Putin apologist but the leaks are showing what we expected.

Biden said, “Our forces are not and will not be engaged in the conflict.” He added, “Our forces are not going to Europe to fight in Ukraine but to defend our NATO allies and reassure those allies in the east.”


I did not have sex moment.

He also said we wouldn't leave Afghanistan if any Americans that wanted to leave were still there. Clearly that was a lie.
