Hey @realjakebroe.bsky.social You said at 27:10 the US Air Force do 4 tests a year of the Minuteman 3. I am fascinated by that comment. How does that work? Are they still in production? Are they reducing the missile count available with the tests by removing warheads and launching active ones?
We have always been here, I pushed for our Abrams to go to you a good year before it was announced. I hope to visit one day, once you have had a chance to recover, either that of the Crimean beach party everyone has planned.
Can't open it in UA until the war is over, too risky, too much of a target. Make the factory in Sweden but design it with the intent to be able to relocate it will the least effort/cost for the future. UA needs these jets more than it needs to produce them in their own borders.
Time for the EU & other western nations such as Australia, Japan, South Korea etc to start joint development of their own Tomahawk equivalent long range missiles like with no ITAR restrictions.
Screw the "if it ignored orders to leave". Try again with "if it ignored orders to not enter our airspace". All it takes is "russian aircraft, change course to stay out of our airspace, if you enter our airspace you will be shot down'. Then shoot them down if they ignore it. No more warnings.
Ukraine need every single one they can make, but how about this Poland, Germany, Denmark, and the Baltic states: set up your own factories and make them en masse under license for Ukraine and yourself. I bet Ukraine will give you a damn good licensing deal to do this, likely even license for zip.
Thoughts and prayers, it's time to move on, its in the past now, I can't believe you are still going on about it, it is what it is, there were good people on both sides.
