Important.

While ukrops and their supporters masturbate to grossly (grotesquely, in fact) exaggerated claims of attacks on Russian bombers, somebody remembered that it was terrorism before. Lavrov and Rubio spoke just now. 

РУБИО ВЫРАЗИЛ ЛАВРОВУ СОБОЛЕЗНОВАНИЯ В СВЯЗИ С ЖЕРТВАМИ В РЕЗУЛЬТАТЕ ПОДРЫВОВ Ж/Д ИНФРАСТРУКТУРЫ В БРЯНСКОЙ И КУРСКОЙ ОБЛАСТЯХ - МИД РФ

Translation: RUBIO EXPRESSED CONDOLENCES TO LAVROV IN CONNECTION WITH THE VICTIMS OF THE RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE BOMBINGS IN BRYANSK AND KURSK REGIONS - RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY 

A rather welcomed change of posture, unlike it is the case with London, Paris or Berlin where they ejaculate from seeing Russian civilians being killed. They don't even hide it. 

It Is All About Istanbul.

And while many discuss grossly exaggerated (as always) attack on Russian bases. Reality of terrorist acts against civilian targets conveniently "disappears". I explain here, why the events of the last 48 hours are in "preparation" to Istanbul "meeting". 

Per RAND latest paper--it is sad, it is incompetent, it is delusional because the USAF and its main "think tank" never encountered serious enemy in the skies since 1950 and in Vietnam this was Air Defense which shook USAF to the core. So, I explain why they will, again, learn absolutely nothing. 

UPDATE on numbers: damaged 3 TU 95MC and 2 TU-22M3. One old An-12. Evidently some of the 5 damaged bombers will be repaired. 

Open Thread.

 Go at it. 

When You Are A Cretin ...

 ... who still thinks that torpedoes are detected by ... radar (they never heard of sonar). Obviously, moron (or collection of morons) has no idea what modern ASW is, as well as what that is. 

R--being the range of detection and D--being the distance of avoidance and that the issue of Flaming Datum for MK48 today is just the matter of a few seconds for developing firing solution for such things as Otvet. And why the angle Alpha is arcsin of Vsub/Vship. The CO of a sub who attacks surface target from 5 nautical miles by torpedo commits the crime against his submarine and crew, because he just killed them. But not for these imbeciles who post this pseudo-military BS. 

Per JDAMs and QUICKSINK, seriously? The amount of this smut passing for "knowledge" about military is astonishing. Let me explain--the range of this QUICKSINK thingy is... drum roll ... 15 nautical miles (24 km). Modern shipborne air and surface radar will see air target and will develop firing solution for AD complex well in advance. But that is not even the point. If we take PLAN, the range of its Type 055 DDG's main striking anti-ship weapon YJ-18 (I avoid speculating here on all those YJ-21s) which is a version of Russian 3M54 Kalibr with the range of 540+ km with the speed at terminal reaching M=3. If we assume that the data on YJ-21 is correct--it is 1,500 km. Who's navy is useless then? Russians, meanwhile, shake in their boots ... from Homeric laughter while observing this "capability" from 1950s and are wondering, how much more BS will be produced by all those media and journalism degreed cretins before they have to face the reality of them being useless ignorant cucks who wouldn't even know what the Operational Sweep is. What can I say--cope harder. 

For Bones.

It is really heartbreaking. Guys, I know it is unfair to single out some of you, but our dear Bones needs your help. This is the least I can do to make you aware that his house has burned and he needs our help. It is just a reminder--many of you know how to contact Bonesey. 

I'm still on the ground and today will be 103 degrees. My house burned down under Biden. I paid $520 s month for insurance. I may live to be 69 years old next month.

Please, help! 

I Cannot Emphasize Enough ...

 ... challenges for the US to pretend that it has influence on SMO, for China--the process of developing and building domestically state-of-the-art commercial aircraft. 

Russian Combat ...

 ... lasers in tests and in actual ... combat. 

Just sayin ... This is for those who love to watch videos from military exhibitions. This also explains why Russia speaks from the position of strength.
