Yea this is my question. It would take quite some time to get pilots up to speed on how to fly, and that’s with taking into consideration the time to train ground crews to maintain the aircraft for regular flights. The A10 is built for CAS (close air support) which tends to be low level and not simple level flight most of the time. These time investments would be significant.
Where would UKR jets take off / land / refuel from? I just assumed russsia artillery barraged most airfields to hell
The building of the infrastructure isn't the hard part in most cases, it's the obstacles you have to work around
this x 100 Kokosing Construction rebuilt a 4 lane bridge over I-71 in like 36 hrs in Columbus, just insane efficiency when you unleash these monster construction companies. Most are just bogged down by inspections and tape which are in place for a reason obviously
It has nothing to do with the construction company. It has to do with what you’re actually building and what types of materials are being used. Sure that possible if you’re not pouring cement. You’re spewing construction company propaganda
From early assessments, shockingly a large number of the Russian cruise missiles attacks, missed their targets. A bunch of their runways are still usable even after having been hit. Here is a pretty good article from the NYT on the Ukrainian Air Force from back in March. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/22/world/europe/ukraine-air-force-russia.html
I guess there was a ship that was hit yesterday but not the big one. A small one off of snake island was hit.
supposedly Russia has like 10 to 20 BTG’s operating out of Izium if Ukraine is able to pin them down from three directions and use western precision artillery correctly this could be a war changing route
I had a related thought last night after reading about the sick fuck 21 roses torturer, that there is untold evil and suffering happening on the other side of the world and most people are oblivious. I know that I have been oblivious to other conflicts, such as Yemen, so I’m just as guilty. We are a strange animal.
Snake Island Twitter is a wormhole that I warn you do not fall into. Seems even some Russian outlets are saying this is a disaster for RUS and the island has been abandoned now
Power ballads and techno and whatever other music we’ve heard while people are dying just isn’t for me. Call me old fashioned.
