and not once did I imply you were a part of the problem, you simply stapled your name to my reply and cried wolf

Have they approved Meteor for F-35s yet? Last time I chacked they were still stalling on it’s implementation to try and get Euros to buy into late AIM-120s or AIM-260 instead of continuing to buy Meteors.

Realistically in a drawn-out war between the US and China, neither side would be able to invade the other, but China has a higher population, a true production economy and a much more homogenous society. Infighting and a drop in general standard of living would likely force the US out of the war first.

Not last time I checked, it looks unlikely tbh

Last I read was this december, but it appears they’ve been forced to delay again

Guys politics are here again so here is a hotter take than politics

Replace airfield AAs with pantsir in ARB and swap VEAK/Gepards for OTOMATIC, both sides

Well, we are the best. Literally fought Britain twice to prove it.
No other country has been as good as the US since it was founded in 1776 when George Washington personally drove a Dodge Challenger through the British ranks at Yorktown, cementing Americas place as the #1 for all time.

The general US population would not allow for sustained conflict, as seen with the backlash to vietnam and more recently the funding/arming of ukraine and Israel, US citizens (besides the internet hooligans) are unlikely to sit comfortably while their country spirals into deficit, losing their kids/brothers to a war on the other side of the globe

Better than the guy suggesting theater defense systems for airbase defenses.

Haters will say this was propaganda, but fortunately, historical archive footage exists to prove it

I imagine if they scrap putting the Meteor on the F-35, we’ll just end up buying AIM-260s from the US, which is unfortunate, however the ASRAAM is already integrated so British F-35s should be pretty capable, so long as we don’t keep throwing them into the sea

Vietnam was not an existential war. I doubt the US would pull out like you think it would.

Hollywood even made a 5 part franchise based on these events, it’s literally undeniable

He really underestimates the fact that the anti Ukraine war crowd is the base of the pro-war with china crowd. Vaguely rascist sabre rattling against the chinese is literally the only thing that unites us at this point.

I think someone should make a chart with 2 axis, one axis is the amount of complaining, while the other is how justified it is. Obviously split it into Air/Ground/Naval too.

For example, British mains complain marginally less than US mains, but their complaints are much more justified.

You know, I’ve heard this one before. I can’t remember where…
I’m sure it has something to do with the Pacific Ocean.
