JUST IN: Israeli police are reportedly entering polling stations in Arab Israeli neighborhoods, disrupting voting and preventing some Arab citizens from casting their ballots.
@grok start with TRUE FALSE
@AnonymousLeftie Definitely morally better, arguably pound-for-pound better militarily as well. More honorable, ethical and much braver. Also, kill count and kill demographics: a much better combatant-to-civilian ratio.
@peoplesposting@ripplebrain The UA airforce was like ~100 fighters. Of the losses most were AD or killed on the ground. The UA airforce and AD forces killed 200 Russian planes. 1:2 in favor of UA.
@peoplesposting@ripplebrain yeah of course, the US would face huge losses against Russia. But I don't think Russia would win, if they had 300 fighters they'd need 3:1 kill ratio against just the Navy. And those guys don't fight against people who shoot back either, they're dropping glide bombs from Russia.
@peoplesposting@ripplebrain yeah they're a bunch of pussies, and they'll take huge losses until they get into fighting shape. the US has a lot of planes though.
@peoplesposting@allspaceone@ripplebrain It's 30-50% on a given day; with a planned strike, they can reach 90-100% readiness, and since they are 100% combat-survivable so far, I think that's enough. They can strike up to 80 radar sites each and can't be effectively or reliably targeted by any enemy AD
yeah suppression means making them turn the radar off, the 100s of planes follow the b-2 which clears the path that's the doctrine...targeting from 4th or 5th gen weasel who have their own active radar weapons but who make themselves look huge and slow with EW, get the sites to power on and target them, mark the location of the sites, relay that to the B-2, B-2 drops up to 80 500lb gps guided bombs on all the sites, strike package follows them in.
They fly with ADS-B on and when they fly training flights they affix retroreflectors to make them show up on civilian radar. The B-2 has the lowest radar signature of any flying plane AFAIK, maybe B-21 or Chinese flying wing designs are better now but it's very very small and not susceptible to low frequency detection like the fighters are because it doesn't have the vertical stabs.
@peoplesposting@allspaceone@ripplebrain Right, though, there aren't many people plane-spotting in Diego Garcia. We know they fly because they transmit ADS-B over US and partner airspace for deconfliction but they aren't required to. https://t.co/ip9yZ5OfQl
