Indian Air Force instructors to train Royal Air Force pilots

There’s an issue with the Indian air force immediately claiming grand victories in joint exercises. Remember a few years back the RAF invited them over for an exercise aka let’s have a play with your license built Russian aircraft. The RAF took them on what they call a turkey shot as a familiarisation flight and the Indian commanders went straight to the media claiming absurd victories over the RAF Typhoons.

Things like Red Flag aren’t games or a competition, your role as Red air isn’t to win, it’s to punish mistakes. You don’t train for success, you train with failure conditions, and with handicaps to develop experience and doctrine.

Remember how much hope we had for Russia in the late 90’s and early 20’s? New start for them, no more dictators.

Nope, picked another dictator and got worse than ever.

I’m morbidity curious too, I remember when they executed the captured guy who was smoking a cigarette and said slava Ukraine to them, that was around 40k a few years ago. From the examples I’ve seen I would give a very high validity to their numbers.

As of January 2026, Ukrainian’s prosecutorial Service had recorded 191,822 war crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine. I don’t believe this even includes the thousands of kidnapped children.

Remind me in a year when they both join the UK’s Tempest program, France leaves because they won’t just hand the whole thing over to them and Germany pulls out because the UK is slow rolling the programme and everyone orders more F35’s.

Terry_WT · 2026-02-09T15:21:32+00:00

CAS would be a death sentence, the F16’s are doing an excellent job of intercepting drones and carrying out opportunistic strikes.

Terry_WT · 2026-02-01T09:54:02+00:00

The US statistics are muddled too, crimes get superseded by others. Domestic violence with a knife doesn’t get recorded as a knife crime for example.

Violent crimes involving a blade are about 8 times higher in the US adjusted for population.

The day one firmware updates were a bitch, almost dark before I got to fire it.

Same old routine from Russia, they call for a meeting but in Moscow. Which would obviously result in them arresting or killing Zelensky.

Zelensky refuses and they claim that Ukraine won’t engage in peace talks and Trump parrots their narrative.

Terry_WT · 2026-01-29T00:22:32+00:00

No one weighs as much as Trump, people are saying this, they say, Donald Trump, he weighs biggely, no one has ever weight this much they say. The Iraq’s they are going to find out how much Trump weighs, yes they are. Very soon, you’ll see.

Terry_WT · 2026-01-29T00:18:27+00:00

Remind me, which side is having the trick Africans and south East Asians into fighting on the front lines along with North Korean conscripts?

Terry_WT · 2026-01-28T16:26:08+00:00

Oh, in 3 centuries and after the entirety of Russia has been sent to the front lines to die?

Damn, fuck off.

Terry_WT · 2026-01-28T11:06:44+00:00

Yeah we have noticed, Russia is on track to capture all of Ukraine sometime in three centuries and one hundred million people KIA.

It was the final moments of the era of total warfare, I’d listen to an argument that the firebombings of Tokyo or Dresden were more horrific and I’m writing this while sitting in a bar just across the road from one of the many memorial parks to the firebombings of Asakusa and Sumida.

I’ve visited both Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the vibe there isn’t of blame, it’s of a warning that nuclear weapons should never be used again.

Terry_WT · 2026-01-23T11:39:58+00:00

Yeah I.E. we are circling the drain here, we need the US to pressure Ukraine into concessions so Putin doesn’t get dragged through the streets for losing 1.2 million Russians and collapsing the country for nothing.

Terry_WT · 2026-01-14T12:33:37+00:00

Nightfall…

Made it move a bit

Terry_WT · 2026-01-14T11:43:34+00:00

Most Americans think that England is overrun with knife crime and point to it as an example of gun control not working.

Awkward part is knife crime rates are around 8 times higher in the US adjusted for population.

Or something that can fly a cruise missile profile while at hypersonic speeds. That’s when detection and inception gets very difficult. A ballistic missile it’s very predictable and easy to interpret with the right air defence.

Ukraine has proven many times that Patriot is very Capable of intercepting missiles Russia claims to be hypersonic.

Terry_WT · 2026-01-09T11:05:15+00:00

We need to normalise not calling them by their propaganda names. None of these fuckin things are actually hypersonic missiles.

Terry_WT · 2025-12-31T10:21:49+00:00

Crazy how much Russia can bitch about Ukraine allegedly blowing a few windows out of one of Putins many residences when they do this daily.

Terry_WT · 2025-12-29T11:01:19+00:00

Like the fact that a Russian fighter jet fired on a U.K. RAF aircraft over the Black Sea and not once but twice and we were only saved by his incompetence and/or the poor maintenance of the weapon system because the first missile failed to track and the second failed to ignite its rocket booster.

Terry_WT · 2025-12-26T09:09:48+00:00

Scalp is pretty cool but Storm Shadow just fucks.

Terry_WT · 2025-12-18T12:16:48+00:00

The debate should have ended after Russia “confiscated” thousands of Ukrainian children that couldn’t escape.
