KH101 is a cruise missile, not ballistic.

Ballistic missiles have limited maneuverability, and what little they do is not very significant for a system like Patriot PAC3-MSE.

Ukraine had to become extremely parsimonious with their Patriot use as supplied dwindled to a fraction. In many cases Ukraine simply chose not to engage unless the Kinzal/Iskanders…

It was definitely Creech. I remember the spate of articles discussing how the officers (the USAF requires drones to be piloted by officers) were both struggling with the close up n…

Some minor quibbles... It's Offut AFB, home of StratCom. Eppely is the municipal airport. And Offut doesn't have any drone units, nor do they manage any. They due process reconnais…

PAC-3 MSE can take down Iskanders. Not a very favorable exchange rate when you fire 2-3 per Iskander, but still doable. If NATO was fighting Russia, launch aircraft (and airbases) …

350º internal temp for medium done? Maybe you forgot to include the glue on your pizza as well.

ATACMS and PrSM would definitely be used to strike air defense systems. The US military is very joint and the boundary you're delineating isn't part of the mission tasking.

No PrSM were donated to Ukraine, and only a small number of legacy ATACMS were delivered. Under 200 from open sources...

Civil War casualties were over 700K...

Also, you can jam JDAM (GPS) guidance. The Russians are masters at jamming and I'm fairly confident they've shared some systems with Iran.

I think you should avail yourself of this thing called the Internet to research before you beclown yourself. US missile production is extremely, painfully slow. From Standard missi…

As much as I support Taiwan, there's no realistic timeline where the US goes to war against the PRC over Taiwan. None.

If my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike. The article didn't mention anything about US strategic or tactical nuclear weapons, though that must be a fantasy of yours…

Desert Storm was 35 years ago. Almost everyone who fought in it is out of service or dead. Iraqi invasion was 23 years ago. Again, almost everyone who was part of the initial invas…

Police are under no legal obligation to protect you.

You provided the percentage of voters. This is not an accurate proxy for support.

Your comment implies that Hitler seized power despite a lack of popularity. The historical record shows that Hitler was wildly popular in Germany, even up to the end of WW2.

Gotta come back with more than "whataboutism."

When was the last time you saw a cop actually stop a crime? Not respond to one, but prevent a crime? Even their responses to "real crime" are half-hearted in almost every state I'v…

I wrote a thank you message on Teams to my coworkers on a project, and half of them thought I had used AI to write it. As a professional writer in a previous life, I was astonished…

Scale doesn't really matter with an air force. The IAF is much, much stronger and more competent than the Russian Air Force. Plus, the Israelis are bombing defenseless cities (in L…

I bought a house recently, and need something to haul landscape stuff around. Slate is perfect for that. I also need something to haul wood around for woodworking etc. Slate is per…
