No idea. But I would think at too high an altitude and certainly with greater stand-off than the maximum effective height and range of, say, a...
I think the planes we’re talking about operate at too great an altitude for hand-held infrared missiles to engage. This was most likely some sort...
So long as they pretend from their side of the 2014 borders, who cares what they tell themselves?
I want to caveat with a conventional war on foreign soil, which is what Ukraine is. I say nothing for how Russia would turn out if they were truly...
Once air superiority was established, quite easy indeed.
I don’t either, frankly. I’m glad for it, of course, but I don’t see how losing four aircraft will make them quit after the much more significant...
Nothing we can’t do with greater effect with fixed wing at high altitude. But it’s not a terrible guess.
Thank you. You, too, have earned a “no [kidding].” Your second implication, that the deceased only spoke threats is an assumption at this point....
Well, no [kidding]. You think that might be why I mentioned it? I have not forgotten that. And I’m glad you have not forgotten that. I’m sure your...
I can’t answer that yet, but I, too, want to know why he didn’t go for an arm bar or wrist lock. Absent clarifying information from the accused or...
I’ve had the exact same MCMAP training as the accused, and I’m confident that if I could achieve the same dominant position he did I could...
No. But is that the question? Who is specifically saying the situation required deadly force? No one trying to give Penny the benefit of the doubt...
If events happened as you describe above, then you’re correct. You are asserting, though, some statements of fact that I have not been able to...
Gentleman’s bet that it does? [ATTACH]
It makes “zero difference” legally? That seems hard to believe. I would be very surprised if the judge suppresses the deceased’s violent history,...
It’s 2 to 3 seconds with a blood choke, not 20 to 30. I have seen some references online that indicate it can take up to 10 seconds, but in my...
I’m curious what “EW” means in this context. In U.S. military speak it refers to electronic warfare. While the Russians might have EW-capable...
I’m going to say the same thing I have since the beginning: We don’t know everything yet. Let it play out. We don’t know what it was (all I have...
Politically, you’re probably correct. Financially, probably not. Especially now that this case has been politicized into another stupid game of...
Impossible. They’ve been on the cusp of air superiority for, like, a year now.
