OddObserver posted:The French could study their.... French made optics. French are the only who can study those optics, because Armata production is stalling specifically due to sanctions on optics exports. Despera posted:Man the US-Poland jet trade is confusing The idea is that NATO send its stock of planes familiar to Ukrainian pilots to Ukraine, and US makes up for the shortfall with similar American planes disbursed to the respective NATO countries. In practice, this deal has been super-confirmed at least thrice, by now, to no measurable outcome.

Mr. Fall Down Terror posted:mostly the latter. in theory you always want to get your hands on a working example of the newest cutting edge hardware from around the world. in practice, nearly all of what russia is fielding here ranges from reasonable but older hardware to comically outdated junk. i think there are more tank enthusiasts worried about the fate of some rare tank variant that should be in a museum, than there are CIA guys trying to get the newest tank model. If you wanted to get your hands on the newest russian tank equipment and electronics, you'd have to steal the tank, figure out what it's missing, then case all the nearby pawn shops

The Polish jets being on the move is great news. Hopefully they arrive in Ukraine sooner rather than later. Slovakia has 13 MiG29s and Bulgaria 15 in service, so there might be more to come too. Bulgaria's 15 in particular are due to be replaced by F16s in 2024 anyway so should be workable under a similar deal in theory.

https://twitter.com/michaeldweiss/status/1501252691133149188?cxt=HHwWiMC50cvXwtUpAAAA I asked how his spirits were holding up. Answer: "Now is not the time for crying; now is the time for laughing." He meant at Russia's military performance and its enormous losses in manpower and firepower in the field. "They have lost far more than they expected. That is why they started peace negotiations on the second day of the war." "Yesterday, they lost 30 helicopters in the vicinity of Kherson where our marines destroyed them. The government announced this. Frankly speaking, it's true." "There was also some evidence for the loss of two aircraft in the airspace around Kyiv." "Our mood: Everything is OK. We are defending our soil, our Motherland. We have nothing to lose. They are conquerors. They are the fascists. And we will win. I have no doubt." I asked about all the Russian deserters abandoning their undamaged tanks, BTRs, air defense systems. Where did they go and where are they now? "They fled into the woods. Sometimes they're marodyory [looters, marauders]. Even according to our interceptions we can determine many are robbing civilian houses and occupying them." He also confirmed the majority of Ukraine's Air Force is still in tact, on Day 12, including fixed wing and rotary aircraft. I asked how many operational Bayraktar TB2 drones Ukraine has in its arsenal. He laughed. "OK, Michael, can I just say: 'It's enough.'"

Djarum posted:What most don't realize is that most aircraft have artificial limits put upon it to limit the stress on it. For example with both the F-18 and F-15 there are ROC and G limits that are there to limit the stress on the plane. A big issue we are seeing is that with so many planes were used in Iraq and Afghanistan for the last 20 years that you are seeing issues with them due to a mixture of plane old use and in a combat situation you are often forced to break the rules on the airframe to get yourself out of problems. Oh huh, I didn't realize there were new planes expected in the next decade. I was going to ask if it made sense to restart production of the F-22 since there are so few of them. I wonder what'll be different about the sixth generation of jet fighters.

cinci zoo sniper posted:That entire conversation is from 2 days ago. It’s genuinely misleading to quote it today. I was driving at the point ravenkult said. Apologies if it caused confusion. It truly wasn't my intention. Blut posted:The Polish jets being on the move is great news. Hopefully they arrive in Ukraine sooner rather than later. Supposedly they'll require some refitting so I imagine it'll be a while. Russia's also stated they'd regard hosting Ukrainian planes or offering them airfields as engaging in the conflict so if the US wants to skirt away from that line I suppose they'll have to work out the kinks of transporting them by land. Sounds like the White House is mindful of that fact: "The White House is now working out the practicalities of carrying out a deal, including the crucial question of how the Ukrainians would physically be able to get their hands on the planes. 'There are a number of challenging practical questions, including how the planes could actually be transferred from Poland to Ukraine."

I wonder what'll be different about the sixth generation of jet fighters. The F-22 production tooling has largely been scrapped, and the plane itself lacks a lot of the modern digital features that would allow it to be upgraded. It's a great plane, but very much a product of the Cold War. Restarting production and doubling our current fleet is estimated to cost at least $50 billion, which is nearly as much as it cost to build the ones that we have.
