Deeply modernized Tu-95MSM performed maiden flight

| Look at those hardpoints for cruise missiles! 32 inbound anti-ship missiles from a flight of 4 of these beasts? Those missiles are programmable in flight so they can hit from all directions on the compass? We've got to get better ship defense systems! |
Range Week at work..
Gonna be kinda slow this week ya'll. It's range week at work so I'll be grinding in the rain (if the hurricanes hit!) or worse.
Sidenote. Remember all those conspiracy theories about why all these agencies are buying all that ammo? Well this week me and 16 other folks will be shooting up 17K rounds. Our range is hot every week cause they run us thru it annually. For all the bodies that carry in the dept that's quite a bit of ammo and we're not huge.
Kinda puts all that ammo buying in perspective doesn't it.

Question.
How can you look at the fleet that China is building and believe that they don't have global ambitions?
That's why the thinking that we can NOW (maybe in the past but not now) we can keep them bottled up in the first island chain and that the Missile Marines should orient themselves totally to a fight in that region is beyond me!
Additionally, after much thought the Generals are just gonna have to swallow hard and accept reality.
If China and the US ever cross swords in this region then the casualties will be horrific. Even IF it doesn't go nuclear. I find that thinking a bit perplexing too. From what I've read if the old USSR ever did its thing thru the Fulda Gap many experts were predicting that entire divisions would be wiped out. I believe I read that a Cav unit was predicted to be eviscerated in total in a matter of minutes. A book that attempted to predict the war said that NATO would get desperate and attempt an air assault by the 101st and that the unit was rendered combat ineffective WHILE FLYING IN!
My point? China is going global and the battlefield will be Africa! The services better get ready for a big all domain fight on a huge continent.
Don't fly the ISIS flag in Yemen with Houthi fighters around...

Narrow field of view on this engagement but why would a lone dude decide to do something so provocative? Why didn't he bail out sooner? Where were his bros?
I'm armchairing this thing and you don't do that cause I wasn't there and I don't know. Having said that I still have these questions!
