"The 1980's are calling to ask for their foreign policy back."

I am glad the guy is against the war, but am I to actually believe world traveling russian oligarchs in their bubble of wealth have their finger on the pulse of the common people of russia? Sure maybe 90 percent of people he talks to are against the war, but we have a lot of stupid people prone to believing jingoistic propaganda from the government over here in america and I wonder if things are actually better in a much more isolated society in russia.

Think any of the U.S. Supreme Court judges would do that?

Hmmmm….

Might require some translation for non-military types. From a Google, the Switchblade is a backpack-deployable drone designed to act as a form of close air support for ground forces in situations where actual jets/etc aren't available or would take too long to deploy?

The Switchblade is a ‘kamikaze’ drone in that it has its warhead attached to it. Basically a missile that can loiter.

There are currently two versions the 300 and 600. 300 is smaller, shorter range and is good for taking out unarmored or lightly armored vehicles. The 600 has a longer range and much bigger warhead. The 600 can take out tanks.

Rumor is this new one is a mix of the two. Extra long range but the smaller warhead for taking out Russian artillery and trucks further behind enemy lines.

One thing capitalism has done is make a MIC that can sell new and effective terror weapons russia cannot compete with..

I just hope he gets defeated and does not launch out of spite for a world he does not like.

"Russia, you got a real surprise comin' to you!"

Damn!

Still better than Hillary or Biden...right @Paladin?
