There was a stretch in the 80s in Germany where they were just that. We called them Jarts or lawn darts. The platform eventually became great. Ukraine would substantially benefit if they got them. I suspect they would prefer F-18s or F-15s.

Significant

Iranian drones are copies of our drones that Iran captured in Iraq and Afghanistan. We know how they work and what will slay them. Because of their DNA, probably better than Russian ones but still.

The air power thing is a real problem. F-16s and Western aircraft in general are something of a challenge. 1. Ukraine airfields are austere like all soviet era airfields. They are used to ignoring runway maintenance. FOD (Foreign Object Debris) is cleared out of the way so the ultra complex GE and Rolls Royce engines on Western fighters can operate without having stones and birds and deer sucked into the engines. So, the Ukrainian airforce wants F-18s which apparently were modified in 2009 to have improved resistance to FOD and 2. The F-18 has two engines which give the airframe better survivability. That was one of the primary considerations of the Canadians when they chose the F-18 back in the day. Long distances and arctic conditions meant they wanted their pilots to have a second motor to row the boat home in the event of in-flight emergencies. I worked in an F-16 unit at Selfridge back in the day. That plane had a very perilous situation when the engine went out. They had a back up power unit control the electric controls so it could at least control its flight surfaces. When that backup power unit was engaged it triggered an automatic checklist with the EPA because the weird substance used was highly toxic. F-16: wonderful dogfighting aircraft, not as expensive as bigger models, but i'd rather have two engines.

Yeah, this hack needs to go work at whatever casino in Cyprus or Dubai or wherever the Russian mob wants him

I got a glimpse of some maps the last few days that are the sort of digital in-the-weeds stuff they compile from all the various inputs. Most glaring things. Russia cant' stage anything within 80km of the FLOT (forward line of own troops) without it getting creamed. Ukraine has regained a lot of territory in the extreme west of the line (Kherson area). On one day last week, the number of "explosion" OPIRs (I actually don't know actual translation but close prox is Operational intel reports) was off the chain just inside the Russian lines. I don't know if any Ukrainian offensive will happen but it sure seems like the Russians are straining under all the new heat they face.

This piece of information seems to have been misplaced

Worst part of this dumb excuse for a game. My mentally handicapped brother needs to call me early on a Saturday morning on the only day of the week I get to sleep in a little bit and tell me that "The Tigers won last night". Clearly, he went to bed with them in the lead or turned it to go watch WWE or just watched the post game and saw how happy the reporters were talking and assumed it was all going to plan. Perhaps this is the target demographic for Rob Manfred's and Chris Ilitch's 2020's era MLB?

Fulmer...ya yutz!

They need Jake Rogers to return and develop into our . . . good catcher who gets through to the young elite starters we develop.

Its never bad business to downplay your chances. However Walker and Oz are not doing well.

Its a serious condition and it affects almost dozens of people across the World!

By the time he was DFA'd the guy we brought up to replace him would be kidnapped or have some sort of spastic colon issue or stigmata

Oof we get to watch Mr 205 bat tonight

#fireavila is trending. Now, could be because the algorithm is targeting me because I follow Evan Woodberry and Evan Petzhold and so forth

The assumption being that Ono would fix that sort of structural issue.

Sparty is gonna Sparty. They have a nice alumni base and lots of money. Michigan has more.

I think he admits that Al Avila should be blamed for the current state of the Tigers.

Been watching this fellow only a short time. The reports and the analysis suggest that he will work hard to resolve certain competitive issues Michigan has in the evolving College Football industry. First step: admit that it is commerce and not strictly academics. Lets see how it goes.
