Which was a barely contested treetop-skimming helicopter assault, and went extremely poorly. You wouldn't have any luck dropping bombs like those out of helicopters.

I was rather baffled by so many sources claiming that this would be super difficult to find. It seemed like such a simple task to drive up and down roads with some radiation detect…

>As for article 5, that might explain the second gulf war and/or Afghanistan No it wouldn't. The Article 5 invocation resulted in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Eagle_Assi…

Interesting choice to mostly rely on SAAB marketing materials in an effort to make the case that the Gripen E is better. >STOL capabilities https://www.saab.com/newsroom/stories/20…

Political reasons that may or may not make sense. Brazil would perhaps benefit in many ways by aligning themselves with the US, but for a variety of reasons they simply don't want …

It seems that you're missing the obvious assumption that we're talking about disputes won by the seller, i.e. friendly fraud attempts.

>Something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matra_Durandal so about $30k, which is quite cheap Uh, how do you plan to use dumb bombs like that in a conflict like Ukraine? That wo…

Why not? Could you give an example as to why this would not be legal in some country of your choice?

Perhaps charge a chargeback fee of 40 euros? It'll cover both of the chargeback fees you'll have to pay stripe.

That's not at all how payment processing works in 2023. You can absolutely "re-run" their tokenized card without storing their card info yourself-

It sounds like you can't actually find any research strongly in support of lockdowns, and that's because of funding bias? So, we're just supposed to believe without evidence that t…

I don't necessarily disagree, but I guess you could run their card again for the 20 :)

Yes. But those are the old Gripens, not at all relevant in this conversation.

So great that only Brazil was willing to buy them. And not at all because they were the best planes they could get, but because Brazil strongly prefers to not buy from the US and S…

>This strikes me as weird. User buys something from me, regrets it and issues a chargeback, dispute gets started and bank says I did nothing wrong, so the charge still sticks, but …

>It's claimed to have an operational range of 3000km. Which may be true in a land attack role, but is obviously not the case in an anti-ship role (if that capability really exists …

I lived between Barcelona and London through the lockdowns. As far as I can tell, current studies indicate that in all likelihood only the first lockdown in the UK may have been "w…

They're also more expensive .

Ukraine is very far from being overrun, almost entirely operates from regular airfields and not roads or other unexpected locations. Are they operating to great effect? The HARMs a…

> anti-ship missiles with ranges that in many cases exceed 1000km, What now? A Kinzhal will probably fly that far, but it won't hit a moving ship at that distance.

That's cool and all, but in 2023 you aren't going to successfully operate jets in those conditions. You'll either fly right above the treetops or get shot down, well, actually the …
