Japanese V-22 looks so good!
This shit has nothing to do with protesting. This is something else...
1) In a scene that played out several times Monday, a Black Lives Matter protest that began in Columbia Heights confronted White diners outside D.C. restaurants, chanting “White silence is violence!” and demanding White diners show their solidarity. #DCProtests pic.twitter.com/fJbPM76vb0— Fredrick Kunkle WaPo (@KunkleFredrick) August 25, 2020
I don't know who's running these "protests" but what you're seeing aren't protests.
They're something else and they're vile. One of my readers said it best. This is downright evil.
This is the breakdown of society.
What I'm seeing are people that they view as "easy prey" and they're harassing, assaulting and generally being an ass with them. I can't tell you what to do if you find yourself in the situation this lady is facing...or many of the other people (of all colors) that have found themselves facing these pop-up mobs (actually saw a "document" that called them that) but assess the situation and your/family safety is all that counts.
If you see it coming retreat. If you can't then stand your ground. If attacked then fight as if your life depended on it...cause unfortunately it might.
The B-21 is the medium bomber we've all been yelling for...
New B-21 data point: CBO’s chart shows each B-21 can carry eight B61 nuclear bombs, which is half the B61 load-out now on the B-2. https://t.co/xq9N5bBDFl pic.twitter.com/HPVe5GZlJD— Steve Trimble (@TheDEWLine) August 25, 2020
Someone here said it earlier but here it is in print. It will carry have the payload of the B-2 (apparently) which I would say it meets the specs of the medium bomber we've all been yelling for.
Good on the USAF for that.
Now?
Now let's hope that the stealth requirement didn't overload the costs of this puppy and we can get a couple hundred into service.
This is joint capability (if properly exploited) that can help the Navy ACTUALLY solve the problem of the massive Chinese fleet. A hundred B-21's loaded with anti-ship missiles coupled with carrier aviation, subs and the rest of our tactical air fleet (short legged as it is) can at least put them on their back foot.
Even better?
This can put an end to Berger's madness and we can keep the Marine Corps a MEDIUM WEIGHT FORCE that can flex up and down the spectrum of combat and is capable of fighting all over the world (including AFRICA...and the ARCTIC...you're gonna need some type of mechanization up there or you'll freeze to death) not just the Pacific!
The great?
Disciplined foreign policy, a trained populace (or continued tariffs to raise the price of imported goods), a frugal shopper and nationalism with a small "n" means that a chance at diplomacy might yield a bit of fruit.
The Chinese are pragmatic. The Pentagon has been slow to recognize the real threat (don't know why they're so fixated on Russia..don't poke the bear the bear won't fuck with you) but they have now. The fight which I saw coming won't be a walk in the park for the Chinese. In other words we won't get steam rolled. I don't know who would win the fight but it will be a pyrrhic victory so why would either side bother?
If this plane works and the Navy makes some adjustments (along with Army missiles) then the fight can be avoided in this region.

This is redesigned K2 named K2PL Wilk (Wolf), proposed for Poland. It have enlarged turret with improved front and side armor, and also lenghtened hull with improved side and perhaps front armor. pic.twitter.com/sAH8pJdZnm
Personally I like the proposal. Add enough Polish systems and a little bone to the Polish defense industry and I bet they'd bite. Besides it would piss of the Germans and the Poles like pissing off the Germans.

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.
