Budzilla posted:The Concorde could supercruise. So could the F-16XL variant. Yeah, but the -16XL is just a prototype that they turned over to NASA to play with, and 4th gen jets typically can't supercruise. I don't think they meant to say it was literally impossible before

TulliusCicero posted:What even is the Russian plan for if Bakhmut falls? Make another meat grinder and rubble pile out another minor city in a year? Probably the same plan they've been following all along. Attack on a wide front, focus on the front that appears to be the weakest. Bakhmut was the only moderate success they had, so they poured everything into it. If they take Bakhmut, they will keep attacking everywhere and hope something sticks. If they don't take Bakhmut, they will keep attacking everywhere and hope something sticks.

I'm genuinely curious what the official strategic plan (not tactical) is for the war on the Russian side. Like what are their actual strategic goals now? Capturing Kiev? Just consolidating their hold on the donbass? making GBS threads themseleves repeatedly? It seems obvious they just expected ukraine to roll over during the initial invasion and that theyd be able to install a puppet regime, which seems pretty unlikely at this point.

I think the plan was to take the rest of Donetsk obl. by pushing up from the south but they got to Vulhedar and drove one-by-one into the same minefield so welp.

HonorableTB posted:I am currently watching early 2000s (summer 2000 specifically, it's Perfect Cell time) Toonami broadcasts and you are extremely correct (i have hundreds of hours of retro tv ripped to my plex server, commercials and all. Audio/visual time capsules basically.) By any chance do you have recordings of JBVO, the show where Johnny Bravo was basically a Vtuber and took episode requests from people calling in? I refuse to die before I can see the episode where Johnny live-comments on a fast-forwarded episode of Dragon Ball Z one more time.

Hold on to as much of what they've taken so far as they can until Trump is back in the White House and starts sending military aid to Russia instead of Ukraine. Or just hoping war fatigue sets in across the west more generally, aid to Ukraine tapers off and Russia can overmatch their Ukrainian opponents.

Belarus arrested a bunch of wagner mercenaries in the country a few years ago accusing them of planning a coup https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/07/29/what-were-russian-mercenaries-doing-belarus-wagner-group/ So things aren't 100% copacetic between Belarus and Russia, though expecting any official shift towards the west in the immediate future is probably wishful thinking

Everything after that has been increasingly desperate throwing of poo poo at the wall to try to find what sticks. Their war operations are not being driven by military strategy anymore, but by politics.
