Why would I read a Clancy book that they made a movie out of? Or at all?

Looked this up and now I'm going to watch the earlier film of this name based on the Gogol story.

kinda impressed that Iran improved on the cruise missile at least as far as affordability, has anyone made one out of radar less reactive material like balsa wood?

This seems like bullshit. At $25k a Shaheed thats a Su-35 for $1.8 million. A cursory google suggest a Su-35 costs $43 million, about $600,000 per Shaheed.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

there is also value in an adversary of america having better planes
