Spot on. All true. It is just propaganda/narrative BS for the gullible. Cheers.
Hm, I could have a cushy job & career as a commercial airline pilot/instructor, of fly an unsupported suicide mission in a salvaged pile of scrap metal against RF AD & RuAF fighters ? Ukraine it is then! BS.

Nope. Won’t be posting links at all. I read and converse widely , and remember things from years ago , and certainly won’t put links up for you -who exhibited bad faith and was unwilling to even do a quick check on what I said first via the internet etc
Anyone genuinely interested can look it up themselves or ask me for more detailed communication in another thread.

@ 348:pessimist
illegal or _breaking the constitution_ is a more workable
lever against US activities than any other argument.
crippling or otherwise negatively impacting your allies much less so.

Short reaction to two different posts.
A. Supercavitation for both “ordinary” torpedoes (forgot their name) and the Poseidon “super-torpedoes”. The Russians have had the technology for a long time now. Yes it’s not hypersonics but it’s still damn fast.
B. It probably doesn’t matter and I’m not expecting any answer ever but I’m also interested in what is supposed to have happened to any alleged air-dropped buoy. I don’t see why they should choose such a mechanism for triggering the explosions.
