Uh excuse me, I think you are overlooking the fact that if it looks good, it flies good. And all Mirages are stunning.

Horrorosaurus posted:Thing is, it's not just the HS article. I remember that sorry rear end photo of him with the mug, and how Yle itself contacted him for comment at the time. Might be a good idea, because by this point I have made note of the journalists name and won't share more of his Ukraine material in the future. Like the absolute minimum you need to do is to goddamn google the names of the people you interview! I wanted to point out also that nahuman from the D&D Ukraine thread had translated the rebuttal article over here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4014579&pagenumber=232#post530156696 There was also an earlier translation of the article I posted here, and a discussion of both in there if you are interested in that. I think it is awesome that so many are translating articles by this point that I accidentally doubled one! I need to start reading the D&D thread again!

Never been a fan of the Mirage’s very 60/70’s design esthetic. Most of the cockpit interior is probably covered in brown or beige corduroy.

uncleTomOfFinland posted:The one thing that bothers me with these Winter War anecdotes is that a lot of the Soviets sent to the front were actually Ukrainian and that was probably one of the reasons they didn't do so well in -40C conditions. In 1941 the entire division had to be recreated from the ground up. Twice. Yikes.

One of them in the pic is literally the head of the group of anti-putin Russians. They are probably doing inflammatory poo poo because they lack brain cells or whoever is supposed to be wrangling foreign legion fighters lost track of these particular idiots. E: or Ukrainian intelligence and their MoD is privy to information that we're not as forums posters and think that this will weaken Putin's hand somehow.

A.o.D. posted:Gepards seem like the ideal tool in the cost to neutralize sense for combating the Shahed swarm. That's been their main use so far, as defense against Shaheds and other drones. They've also been used in support fire roles on the battlefield, as well. The problem is there's not enough to form a complete net of protection just yet, and unfortunately that's why three of them got through in Khmelnitskiy during the last drone swarm.

With the amount of rf a jammer puts out I can't imagine we don't have equipment capable of triangulating it the moment it lights up. I wouldn't be surprised if we can pick it up from satellite and use the Earth's surface as the intercept.
