You can forget the ground observer. Stealth is the reason why it can fly high all the time to avoid visual/audio detection. Non-stealth planes like F-15E are forced into High-Low-Low-High altitude flight profile. where low level ingres

A-10 has been known to be a MANPADS magnet since the Desert Storm. If you have air superiority, you can keep them, use UCAVs or buy new Super Tucanos. But in contested environment they are useless. Multiroles or bombers with precision weapo

In a lot of ways no as well. Take for example F-35B. That would've never happened on its own. Too few customers for a separate development project. Whereas now combined with amphibious assault ships it will be a quantum leap for USMC c

In Finland I went through several hundred rounds. Wasn't even regular infantry. Served the shortest term possible in the signals corps. Training is scheduled into three parts. 8 weeks, after which you are assigned into leadership track

The big picture is darker. US Navy had future operating concept based on three types of new ships: * CGX: ASW/ASuW/AD workhorse * DDGX: land attack platform * LCS: cheap platform for everything else CGX got canned for being near $

Between westeners at worst no more than curiosities, but they are a good platform to start business in the East, where previous contacts and trust building is more important.

Indeed. Once you go past certain amount of followed you end up inventing some rules for new ones. Like not too many tweets per day, especially if there's more RTs than OC. Twitter is like a garden with weeds. Constant need of pruning.

Freeing up memory for some games, good memories. I think my most vivid learning experience was when I managed to delete autoexec.bat.

I think the mushy ones go through steaming. So just choose dry-rolled/steel-cut vs. steam-flaked/rolled. Like GFK_of_xmaspast said, it's largely a matter of choosing the porridge/baking shelves instead of cereal/mu

They might be influenced by Russian politics? Almaz-Antey is 100% owned by the Russian federation. The state is also their biggest customer, and nearly 90% of the business is with the military. Almaz-Antey produces very high priority strate

It's not segregated. They are using the same services, just paying according to their income. 300 euros max /mo even in the capital. Poor families pay next to nothing and their multiple allowances cover it if there's a nomina

F-35 is the stealthy sensor platform that can go closer to identify and target. Unlike F-22 it does air to ground as well. It doesn't necessarily have to be the platform that does all the shooting. It can spot for non-stealthy planes f

In your opinion what makes it terrible for peacekeeping & observation? Isn't it just a matter of Canada not buying and integrating suitable armament? With Jdams and Paveways you have to go too close for early operations, but Canada

There are no pure air superiority fighters on the market, so you'll end up with a jack of all trades in any case.

These best RT's of the day/week and other automated lists seem not unlike Facebook's excessive Game app messages. They were a proper nuisance until you became able to hide them. Twitter needs some tools for self-curating. For

Indeed. You need to ride on the coattails of the people who have followers for quite some time before you can expect activity for your own tweets. Engaging in a discussion that's already there is much easier than trying to start one.

Herein lies a major reason why early Finnish academic results are so uniform: "“To be honest, we are not interested in a child’s academic skills at all. From our perspective that would be silly,” she said. The motor skills tests, by co

Nokia was certainly part of it. Even if they failed with their N-Gage gaming phones, some of the current successful companies like Rovio started around that time. Nokia spent money and convinced some state agencies to do the same. Nokia-eff

Ok Denmark, but overall the issue is valid. For example Finland has residency-based welfare aka no citizenship needed. Just read a headline last week claiming that Finland pays more welfare to Estonians than Estonia itself. Meaning Estonia
