It's alright - they've got hundreds of other entirely disposable princes to fly those jets badly.

Vulcan Aerospace just unveiled their new mega-plane for launching space rockets from. It's loving ginormous. LIke, loving insane. Howard Hughes level :wtc:

Actually, more than that, because it's got a wingspan 65 feet longer than the Spruce Goose

Russian fighter jet scrambled to intercept American B-52 bomber over Baltic Sea aka US returns the favor

On hypersonics, the Russian missile is scary. Mach 6 and high altitude are going to be a pretty hard target set for any surface to air missile and the decreased reaction time will push firing windows to being pretty small. The number of firing platforms is a bigger question, if the Tsirkon can be sized for the Tu-22, then it'll be a really dangerous weapon.

The US doesn't really have anything similar right now, all the progress of the 50 - 70s is long gone and the current systems are planned for several years later. Also, Prompt Global Strike doesn't seem to have gone anywhere promptly. (har har har)
Time to bring back the Sprint ABM!

That vid took me to this one.

the missile at the end is best

edit:

Missile appears to be a Kh-25 Karen air to ground missile. The fins ahead of the front fins even might identify it as the rarer Kh-25MP "Kegler" anti-radiation/anti-radar variant.

Given that the Russia army has basically shitcanned the Terminator and Terminator 2 (expensive, vulnerable to small arms fire, not especially better than a BMP-3) this is probably an attempt to drum up some foreign sales (not domestic sales as the article concludes).

Domestic sales? How many oligarchs and mobsters would want to buy them?

We already have too many people as it is to sustainably support everyone at a first world standard of living.

Because there are too many people?

or

Because there are many who are consuming that "support" that might be used by everyone at a rate equal to many thousands of times the "first world standard of living" rate?
