Why specifically Azov?

The problem with these long range Standoff munitions is that they’re sorely needed in the indo-pacific region if there’s ever a war with China. (Likely to be within the next few years) It’s going to give some pause to US planners as range is at a premium there. I don’t see JASSM going to Ukraine myself, as these missiles are reserved for a fight with China. However, it may be a useful move to get Europe to chip in for long range munitions.

Wow. I’d be nuts to fly one of those things. 6000 VVI sounds like suicide

With the collective firmly held down on the bottom stop, things happen very fast. The helicopter is descending in a hurry, as in 4,000 – 6,000 feet per minute. Do the math, if you are at 1,000 feet and the descent rate is 4,000 feet, you have one quarter or a minute – 15 seconds – to find a place to land.

It’s more about altitude than the ability to glide. Helicopters can do what’s called Auto rotation, which means they actually can glide. If the blade seize up however, they can’t autorotate. Helicopters fly a lot lower than most airplanes though, so they can’t glide as far.

F-22 isn’t in production anymore and it would be very expensive to start up production again. Much of the capacity to produce F-22 has been taken up by other programs such as F-35 meaning that they would need new capacity.

They actually had the opportunity to produce more F-22s with the Japanese government offering to buy and put forward a lot of money to produce more, but the US didn’t see the need for more of an air superiority platform

F-22 specializes in Air Superiority or clearing the skies. It wasn’t made for air to ground (even though it can do it today) In Afghanistan, there wasn’t a need for more air superiority

Skunks don’t usually smell unless they’re threatened or dead. That said, it still probably stinks a little. Do not try to do the deed without the skunk’s consent though

Or you could look for the tugboats towing it

Wait until you learn about diamonds

We got you covered

That looks hella dangerous

You don’t argue with fools. You dismiss them

They call it 76 because it can carry 63 65 73 75 76 prisoners of war
