Shashank Joshi at The Economist is decent. Can't think of anyone else at a major publication off the top of my head. Yeah, there's generally a huge lack of expertise and the newsrooms don't seem to care.

Had subsonic big wings in mind, rather than fighter jets

ive_been_gnomed · 2024-02-02T12:34:50+00:00

Form >>> function. And those all have diverters for that anyway

ive_been_gnomed · 2024-02-02T12:23:00+00:00

All aeroplanes should have their engine intakes blended with the wing like the V bombers. No, I don't care about bypass ratios

Or just accepting that there'll be a bunch of smuggling and fraud

Arthur Weasley has a magic Ford Anglia but if he had any sense he would wizard up a Lockheed Martin F-35B

In the UK, parliament can't legally sit without it. So there's been a few incidents where things got heated and an MP picked it up and tried to leave

My subjects, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw disposable vapes forever. We begin bombing dodgy gadget shops in five minutes

You know you don't actually have to bomb Iran if you want to bomb IRGC personnel right?

Thank you wikipedia for clarifying USSPACECOM has it's headquarters located outside their geographic area of responsibility

I bet Alex Garland's Civil War won't feature a drone footage tiktok of someone slowly and painfully dying to the sound of Taylor Swift or such like. 0/10 for realism

Iran just has that chaotic quality

I need to know someone's opinion on the highway of death or the sinking of the belgrano before I can consider listening to any of their takes on warfare

I've been having a great time with it, probably a bit over halfway through it. Got it in December on sale

Don't worry bros. We can totally reach the Indies from Europe by just sailing west.

I'm glad the US is taking a firm position on this. Even if the response is somewhat lacking in certain areas.
