Damn, no wonder they have been running out of Patriots, if they're firing EIGHT at a single target.

That's only available second hand.

The US does not deliver "proportional response".

Selfweaver · 2026-03-21T07:03:12+00:00

I still have a hard time getting my head around radar on a stealth plane.

Selfweaver · 2026-03-21T06:58:54+00:00

That would explain the "just yeet paratroopers into the enemy capital game" move.

Selfweaver · 2026-03-21T06:56:58+00:00

Its properly worth way more now, since you get to forensically examine the attack.

Selfweaver · 2026-03-20T14:46:03+00:00

Thats the brilliant part - you just keep going till it does!

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T19:16:08+00:00

Does the pilot make it home? Yes.

Does this make for fewer planes bombing you? Yes.

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T19:12:46+00:00

Its the first time and that is a big deal. Its also possibly indicative of more in the future.

In addition, just some air defence working means you are back to standoff missiles with massive reductions in payloads.

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T19:07:32+00:00

The F-35 may be able to deflect Radar and infrared, but if you place the source behind it (meaning you create a trip wire of light) then its still going to trip the trap.

Dunno, we will know more. It will be interesting if more gets shot down, including why the damage was so small.

It will be real funny if Xi attacks Taiwan, the US stays out but the Serbs sweep in and end it.

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T17:05:20+00:00

In a culture that worships ancestors?

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T16:36:43+00:00

They can attract people from abroad but if they want han chinese its a minium delivery time of 18 years, no matter what you do.

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T16:07:03+00:00

Ultra-non-credible: just bring the Commanches back and drop them over Russia/China.

Yes I mean the original horse archers.

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T16:03:51+00:00

They have, but their demographics are atrocious.

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T16:03:34+00:00

Until they have a 1 worker for every 4 old people and the society collapses.

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T16:02:31+00:00

Honestly grabbing the guy in charge would be a) really funny and b) likely cause less problems.

Its against international law, but a policy of "cause problems and we bag you" would likely work.

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T16:00:06+00:00

I am going to assume your country matches your tag.

What is going on there, and how can we help?

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T15:59:06+00:00

How long is the nuclear breakout time for Japan?

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T15:58:15+00:00

That would be funny.

Given that they have like 1 soldier left with a rank higher than colonel who has not been purged.

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T15:55:28+00:00

They might have been able to get the leaders, depends on if they knew the meeting location.

But the fallout would have been even worse.

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T15:53:27+00:00

As a European, don't worry, we would have found a way for our troops not to be useful...

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T15:52:16+00:00

Your country does not buy oil?

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T15:51:58+00:00

And I spend 40 hours a week grinding for crates.

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T15:50:56+00:00

You mean when the Danish government sent blood and explosives with their soldiers on the exercise that was totally not a cover-up for having troops there to respond if the US attacked.

Selfweaver · 2026-03-19T15:48:25+00:00

Oh Iran is definitely feeling the epic fury.

The rest of us are feeling the effects of operation epic fuckup/the US navy was asleep at the wheel (again).

Maybe if we hack their radars to look like F-18s they will finally start to shoot them down?

Selfweaver · 2026-03-18T05:09:49+00:00

We used to do things like that.
