  1. I'd say that the APS study is probably a tad biased, but that's because I used to work in the industry and think some of their conclusions aren't 100% correct...but, I will agree that we do NOT have any system in place to even remotely handle a large scale nuclear attack by ANY country.

  3. Well, until 2002, we and the Russians/Soviets were bound by the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. Neither of us could deploy ABMs. The thought was that being able to intercept the other side's ICBMs might make MAD obsolete and lead to a first strike... Meh...Our missile defense tech is REALLY good. But, we don't have many ABMs...not nearly enough to stop any Russian full launch.
  4. Yeah...I agree. It's a really dynamic thread. I hadn't seen it here. I actually got it from a friend via text. And I can't get into CR (by request). So, I figured it would be good to post it here...
  5. Also, our ICBMs/warheads are extremely accurate. The CEPs are tiny compared to what the Soviets used to have. Which is why they relied on high yield....they knew if they couldn't hit exactly where they wanted, they'd just blow everything the fuck up... I've been paying decent attention to this thread and I hadn't seen it here when I posted it...maybe you're wrong.
  6. After my trip to purgatory, I requested that when I gained reinstatement that I could NOT access CR so I wouldn't have to worry about that again... So, it's good this thread is here. And it's been really pretty good for the most part. Until those idiots started that Buick talk shit.
  7. A 100 MEGATON nuke? That's twice the yield of the Tsar Bomba, the largest nuke ever built - and the Soviets only made 1 of them. Divide by about 100 to get a reasonable yield...
  8. Since they won the National Championship, I think they get an automatic acceptance...
  9. In my first iteration of jobs, I was on the flight test team for the LOSAT missile at WSMR. We hit a couple tanks with the missiles and it was UGLY. I'd hate to be anyone inside. The round went in through the front then out through the back. Anyone inside would have died from the massive overpressure as the round went in, which would be nice, since they wouldn't feel the pain of dying from the the 1500 deg temperature increase over milliseconds and then having parts of them sucked out through the exit hole.
  10. My former company did cold weather flight testing for a helicopter certification up there. I was SO glad I wasn't on the program anymore. They were pissed because they needed it to be below -45 degF to do the testing and it took a week before it dipped from -42 or so to below -45...so they had to stay there the whole fucking time waiting before they could fly. BTW, the non-production aircraft did NOT have heaters...
  11. This is extra funny for me since I used to work for Bell and worked with a lot of Cobra pilots there and they made comments like this all the time.
  12. I work with several former Apache pilots and when they saw pictures of that column I swear they started salivating...
  13. One BIG thing that WE are getting out of this war is actual live testing of the weapons we developed to counter Russian military assets. And it appears that the tests are going very well. Flight testing is one thing - live testing is quite another.
  14. We could do it over Ukraine and...oops...did we accidentally drop those bombs? My bad.
  15. Poland has some MiG-29s...but, there'd probably still be a decent amount of training if they're different models than the Ukrainian pilots are used to...
  16. All of the Ukrainian aircraft are Soviet/Russian - Sukhois and MiGs... Probably not a lot of those in the NATO inventory.
  17. Just had my first episode with a KS last month. I had Covid in January and had gotten pretty dehydrated during that time. Started feeling that back and side pain and it was the worst thing I've ever had. I'd rather get kicked in the junk than have that happen again. Ended up in the ER where they confirmed it was KS. Gave me morphine...it did NOTHING. Gave me a little more. Still nothing. Finally gave me toradol. Pain dropped almost immediately. That stuff is magical. Took a day or so for it to completely pass and all the pain to subside And the doc said that since I've had one, I'll probably have more...I am NOT looking forward to that.
  18. Have I mentioned that I really hate you? Because I do right now.
