US Sends "Tankbuster" Jets To Europe Over Russia Fears After Germany Says "A Large Scale War Could Develop"
Karl-Georg Wellmann, a lawmaker in Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union has warned that, despite its efforts to avoid arms being provided to Ukraine, Germany "will no longer be able to stop weapons deliveries from from the U.S. and Canada." Almost too coincidental to these comments, CNN reports, the U.S. Air Force is sending its A-10 "tankbusters" back to Europe in order to "increase rotational presence in Europe to reassure our allies and partner nations that our commitment to European security is a priority." As Wellmann ominously concludes, seemingly confirming Putin's warning yesterday that if Kiev aims at a military solution, war will never end, "a large-scale war could develop out of that."
As Bloomberg reports, Germany May Be Unable to Stop Weapons to Ukraine, Lawmaker Says
Karl-Georg Wellmann, a lawmaker in Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union and chairman of the German-Ukrainian parliamentary group, tells newspaper Tagesspiegel that Germany won’t be able to halt U.S. weapons deliveries to Ukraine to fight Russian-supported separatists.
"We will no longer be able to stop weapons deliveries from from the U.S. and Canada" after rebel gains in the strategic town of Debaltseve in eastern Ukraine, Wellmann tells Tagesspiegel in interview
"A large-scale war could develop out of that," Wellmann says
Wellmann says further economic sanctions against Russia are "unavoidable," Tagesspiegel says
And so, as CNN reports, The US is sending in the Warthogs...
The U.S. Air Force is sending its "tankbusters" back to Europe.
The service's European Command said this week that 12 A-10 Thunderbolts would be deployed to Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve, which was formed after Russia's intervention in Ukraine over the past year.
"The Air Force is increasing rotational presence in Europe to reassure our allies and partner nations that our commitment to European security is a priority," Lt. Gen. Tom Jones, vice commander, United States Air Forces in Europe -- Air Forces Africa, said in a statement.
The Air Force said besides operating in Germany, the A-10s will be forward deployed to other partner nations in Eastern Europe. U.S. forces have operated out of bases in Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia and Poland, among others, in the past year.
The A-10, also known as the "Warthog," was designed in the 1970s to support ground troops in Europe against the tanks and armored vehicles of the then-Soviet Union. Though the jets can carry a variety of bombs and missiles, they are best known for their nose-mounted, seven-barrel 30 mm Gatling gun that can fire almost 4,000 rounds per minute, enough to quickly blow apart a tank. The planes are also durable, with the pilot protected from ground fire by a wrapping of titanium often called "the bathtub." And they are designed for easy maintenance in battlefield areas, with interchangeable parts for the right and left sides of the aircraft.

Not exactly the act of a peace-seeking force following a "truce"? But then again... Washington was not included in the Minsk Summit so apparently feels free to stir things up explicitly.

A-10 can't operate in defended airspace and survive for long. The AH-64 probably can and the F-35 definitely can. The point of the F-35 is not to provide CAS, it is to kill the counter air and SAM threat and allow choppers to do CAS role, with the F-35 high cover watching for popup threats, kill them, and drop JDAMs, LGBs or SDBs when the choppers can't hit a target hard enough to end a situation. That the F-35 can do, it has 2.7 times the internal fuel load of an F-16C and almost 5,000 lbs more fuel than an F-15C. So it can loiter for awhile and kill stuff in the way an F-16C can not. The AH-64 has plenty of cannon against ground forces, and no one is going to be diving in close to kill modern MBT columns with cannons in defended airspace. That's a job for standoff weapons.
Kinda like the twin towers and bldg. 7?

What is the matter? Did you think obamatron assclowns currently in charge were not bloody murdering tyrannical progressives? Still think progressives dance around with prancing unicorns that shit skittles singing kumbaya?
Progressives are death dude, time wake up and smell the coffee. Check this for example, they murder their own unborn babies just to warm up. You shoulda seen em in Texas, chanting and frothing at the mouth to be able to kill, kill kill little babies, lead by the queen death bitch Wendy Davis. She became a progressive "hero" for lead the charge for death..
Progressive medicine is death panels.
Progressive eco-murderers lied to bring back malaria, once almost wiped out so millions could die.
Big government progressives sit on top of the biggest throne of corpses ever in the history of the world in the last 100 years, hundred of millions dead, murdered by government. And who want MOAR government?
Yeah thats right, bloody murdering progressive do. Obama does. Obama is a stone cold murderer. Obama's mentor, Bill Ayers still wants 25 million Americans dead so he can create his progressive utopia. Ayers blew up four of his own friends building bombs and that guy was Obama's inspiration. Fuck me.
Hillary Clinton destroyed Libya and created ISIS, rivers of blood flow daily because of her.
I am surrounded by fucking morons and not a goddamn constitutional conservative in sight. Fuck.

The terrorprompter. Or whoever programs the thing.
So just where did you think the real decisions in America were made?
The true insanity is that Congress tried to decommission the A-10.
It's almost like Washington wants to lose...
Magic Johnson?
But Obama is smart, cool and doesn't do stupid stuff. [/s]
Some psychotic idiot(s) in the USA still believes a war with the USSR is winable.
God help us all.
Yeah but that was before he discovered he was good at killing folks.
MohatmObama? Karl M.Obama? Fidel C. Obama? one of those!
I don't care which end of the barrel you're on, A-10's are badass
The Warthog needs air cover, and they won't win any beauty contests,
but they are death on tanks.
Only this time they won't get anywhere close to a tank... Remember what happened to all those Ukie Su-25, last summer ? Those were ground attack planes too...
More to the point:
"increase rotational presence in Europe to reassure our allies and partner nations that our commitment to European security is a priority."
Only idiots would believe that Russia is threatening to invade Europe.
This propaganda bullshit needs to stop. Who benefits?
This freeze out on alternative, rational voices in media will be our undoing.
The A-10 Thunderbolt II is my favorite aircraft. A true blue collar airplane.

If the "war" against ISiS was real, those A-10's would be in that theater, not sitting on airstrips in Denmark. It's all a sick farce with people dying every hour.
If the "war" against ISiS was real, those A-10's would be in Saudi Arabia...
Agreed...that and the B-17...I like muzzleloaders and Belgian horses too, friend me...
https://medium.com/war-is-boring/an-a-10-pilot-could-hope-to-last-two-we...
Too bad A-10 is 40 years old. Many of those built must be out of their resource, you know aluminum aiframe and all that... Besides, it flies so low that you don't need very sophisticated AA to shoot it down...
Remember when the financial meltdown happened? Good times, good times.
note to self from 2016.
The Sith Lord deserves another peace prize. Has construction on the Death Star begun yet?
That's what they are building over the capital building. But it's been operational for quite sometime now
The Sith Lord is behind the scenes. You just can't give that sort of credit to a mulatto Alfred E. Newman.
So, we're sending 12 Warthogs to help Europe block us from sending arms to Ukraine? WTF? I guess things are getting too crazy to comprehend without 3 read thrus.
As Tepper, Buffet and friends are selling into the market runup, must have some some "escalations" ready to blame the reversal on when the "ghost liquidity" maintaining algos get turned off and the selling flows are released into the market. So that it can be proven it wasn't a ponzi, it's just shit happened.
The Novorossians are acquiring trophy aircraft for their airforce. I'm sure the could patch up any A10s that came their way. Good luck to them.
I thought that the USMC was the last branch using the A-10s.
Hard core ground pounders for sure.
The Marines don't want the A-10 and the Air Force doesn't like flying A-10 support missions for the Marines. The Army can't handle the support needed to keep the A-10s flying like they can with choppers. A cluster fuck for sure.
keep payin those taxes.
Commander " Tee one off " is sending over his big boy toys...
At what point does "Fuck the EU" come into play?
I would say this would be classified as such
Who will fight this large scale war? with Ukie conscription at gunpoint, certainly not them..
Can you smell the diversionary shit pile?
When I read this, first thing I wondered was what bank is in trouble?
All the western banks are in trouble, they're gonna get greeced.
And Chinese New Year is tomorrow.
They're also thinking about to spin off the investment/casino part of Deutsche Bank. And as we know the gossips, Deutsche Bank is highly levered and loaded up on derivatives.
It could also be some kind of a split between the anglos and continentals, would also fit into the Greek drama story line, but certainly, bankers clearly have a strong motive to stir up shit for diversion to escape the blames for that kind of a turmoily situation.
Note to rest of world...Americans are not the US Government. Well, some are, but most just want to live in peace and be left the fuck alone.
you are the colony of fed, you can't say no
Amen to that brother, but unfortunately most don't see it that way. How many Germans were ever afforded the benefit of the doubt for Hitler's misadventures? And I'd temper your prayer with the caveat that Americans really should pay a little more attention to the chaos & misery their government is wreaking on the world. How many more wars does the Nobel Peace Prize winner have to conjur out of thin air before they say enough? And if Libya, Syria, etc. doesn't wake them out of their slumber, you might think that the idea of a war with Russia, in that neck of the woods, would. Boston is litterally jumping out of windows over a few feet of snow. Well I lived a bunch of years in Russia under Yeltsin, and let me tell you that their notion of winter is a little different. Napoleon & Hitler were given hard lessons by Mother Russia. It's too bad Joe Six Pack refuses to crack a book and learn a little history.
re Note to rest of world...Americans are not the US Government.
Maybe so - but their craven, gutless inaction in reigning-in - or even protesting! - the Mad-Dog ZIO NeoCons still makes them complicit.
"Americans" will, accordingly, be held responsible - and then, make no mistake, held accountable - and rightly so.
And I never want to hear again off any self-righteous "Americans": What were the Germans thinking to go along with a mad-man like Hitler ?
you're gonna have to get off asses and doing something to be ever left alone....
Don't ding them up guys, you know there are no spares.
Bullish.
So the US is forcing the EU to go to war...
The US bully strikes again
Be funny because it will be a Blackwater-California National Guard-Azov Battalion Show now half Ukraine's combat forces are destroyed and they are drafting women........noone in Europe will play
A-10 Warthogs will be on a one-way trip if they get near any of the Russian Air-Defence systems or the odd Ukrainian BUK battery.......bit slow and fine to shoot up tanks but not in an area with an air defence system
Maybe not. maybe drones are used as stalking horses to expose (light up) the radar sites which are then targeted by standoff airborne missile launchers. So now, no more radar. Rinse and repeat. again, no more radar. Third time, drones signalling like A-10s front run the real mccoys and only shoulder fired weapons are left. The A-10s have countermeasures for those... Not every trillion spent by the Pentagon has been 100% wasted....
Please tell what of it was not wasted?
was there an attack?
other than on taxpayer pockets?
and worse....as trillions made enemies
rinse and repeat...more enemies...
so idea is more?
it's like that...
insane
Celente may end up being right. They take us to war.
Those A10's are slow. Russia should have shoulder launched rockets capable of taking them down.
Thought the military didn't want them anymore?
Yeah for over a year I think. They say they don't have room in the Inventory or Budget Line or to pay for storage, maintenance, operational costs or whatever. But they don't have a replacement either.
It is the perfect plane for a European Tank war. Shoot holes in the tails or whatever, keeps flying. Well not whatever, but it can fly with lots of holes in it.
I thought it would be sold or scrap, but there was another review meeting this year or within 6 months or so.
Russian MANPADs shot down pretty much every jet in the Ukie AF. I don't think they'll have any trouble blowing Warthogs out of the sky.
Will John McCain fly one just for old times sake ?
Sure, after we pry him out of his model T down at the Dog 'N Suds...
While he's at it (JM), why not let Shaun Hannity ride along and take notes?
If you fly at tree top level, then the radar doesn't know where they are and you can't turn and fire at an A-10 in 1 or 2 seconds for a fancy aiming rig or a huge missile pod.
remember operation Norther Watch in Iraq... both the US & the Brits where flying in low and fast and taking out the Radar... at least that's the story I got.
I had an A-10 come over me 1-2 times. They are loud enough, but you can't see them. I guess with Manpads or older systems you have to get on a high place like under good protection on a hill or mountain in order to fire the manpads with success.
The A-10 has the lowest maintenance and operational costs of almost anything we have flying. The AF brass don't like it because it's not a fighter plane and they want the funding to keep the F-35 scam going. The Marines don't want the A-10 because it can't be launched from a carrier.
Sure you can stop it, Merkel - shoot'em down. Who's more likely to be able to lay waste to Europe with conventional weapons; the USA from across the sea, or Russia just over the mountains?
I still find it impossible to believe that even the King-of-all-Fuckups Obama would be so mentally feeble as to start WWIII with Russia, but sometimes when all you've got is a chicken, it'll have to do as a hole.
The US is technologically more advanced than Russia, better funded and probably has as many bases in Europe as it does in CONUS. However, you can't count the number of wars Russias lost on one hand...
The military wants them. The MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX wants them more.
More war, must be the reason for the 11:00 am smack down in gold.
Love the A10 Warthog! BOOM, baby! :-)
The Pentagon has been trying to end the A-10 program for years, but Congress Kritters keep re-authorising it. Wonder who is right and who is wrong on this piece of hardware
Looks like they want to scrap the pilots with the plane by deploying it in Europe
Not too worried about 30 year old A-10s...
More worried about stuff like this getting "thrown over the fence" and winding up in more tochka-u "payload(s)"!
And yes the people in D.C. are that desperate!
Come on tylers need video of the A-10 in action
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxvmrmLYbls

Whats next? 'Sticky bombs' ala Saving Private Ryan?
Long socks and axel grease!
Will the Canadian forces send any of those gay berets they wear?
Putin isn't going to fight that kind of war with the US if the US intervenes. He has been pretty clear on that. But Obama doesn't listen.
No they will give the Shias the wherewithal to take down Qatar and Saudi Arabia. There is only one serious country in the region and that is Iran
Iran is Persians, not arabs
big difference
So the talks where about how to arrange a small war without anyone overstepping any red lines?
Noone will pay attention on the little notice, 3rd page on the economy part of the newspaper: Greece kicked out of the euro, all debt forgiven. Bankers refunded by the ECB.
Right... and who again was is that we sacrifice for this misinformation this time? Certainly not me!
So will Obama make it through 8 years in office without suffering a major blowback from all the festering diasters his regime has created -- whether it's war, economics, illegals, etc. He's exponentially more teflon than Reagan.
Yes, Obama is mulatto so he has his excuses ready made
Karl-Georg Wellmann, a lawmaker in Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union and chairman of the German-Ukrainian parliamentary group, tells newspaper Tagesspiegel that Germany won’t be able to halt U.S. weapons deliveries to Ukraine to fight Russian-supported separatists.
Some well meaning activism needs to be taking place in Berlin right about now to throw the fucking "yanks" and their military bases out of Germany for good!
If it doesn't happen, you can expect Mr. Wellmann's well placed threats to continue being gospel unless a referendum to throw the U.S.'s handmaiden Merkel and the Christian Democratic Union Party "out" takes place with an emergency vote of confidence very soon as the only vialbe alternative!
You have it all wrong...these are for Greece....when SHTF there.....
The AF Generals don't want the A-10 because they want jobs with Lockheed when they retire. The Lts, Capts, and Majors who do the actual flying want it badly. the Lockheed F-35, which as been under development for 20 (?) years, isn't ready and will never be ready.
War has a way of focusing the mind back to reality, despite MSM nonsense. In Ukraine, we have a situation.
There are (at least) two sides which have no intention whatsoever of backing down. One side is backed by a formidable and experienced power. The other side is backed by a declining superpower with powerful allies. It is much stronger than the other power. However, the weaker power, Russia, is not in a position to back down. Weaker powers never are, since backing down means surrender, rather than retreat.
War, real war, not proxy war, seems very likely, don't you think?
We can take ‘em!
And if worse come to worse we Americans have always got the Rapture as a back-up plan.
Can't we draft some of these 10 million illegals?
You already have......as voters
and badly needed new borrowers...
Yeah, if we can catch them all and stuff them in an empty container ship...but then we'd need Walmarts help with the logistics...
Who could have ever imagined! I'm shocked , SHOCKED!
This should end well.....
we are BY FAR the most dangerous country on earth!!
This is dangerous escalation, these are aircraft exclusively for close combat support, what Kiev junta desperately needs and they can easily fly to eastern Ukraine from bases in Poland. As soon as first of them is shut down in Donbass we have open proxy war between US and Russia with US Air Force involved.
The warning about escalation of the events, we are at the edge of, as well as general background on Ukraine found at:
https://contrarianopinion.wordpress.com/2015/01/18/ukraine-no-country-fo...
Also DNR prime minister was shot near Debaltsevo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5c8_kTKgFA
US and Russia ARE at war and with China too. The US wants Submission and if it does not get it War is the result. It will probably find Italy, France, Spain and Germany defecting though....they have been there and don't like it......so it will be US, UK and Poland......funny really
What men these Novorossians are. When was the last time any milquetoast faggot Eurocrats or American banksters took shrapnel for their country?
Shrapnel? When they inadvertantly sat on their custom blown glass crack pipe at the opera?
Most of Ukraine is Russian speaking. More blathering of American politicians pumped up on a combination of Viagara and anti-depressants waving the bloody shirt to divert attention from our own problems at home.
Outstanding. Kiev Air Show.
"Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that. I want to tell you something very clear, don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."

Take back your country yanks!
Everybody commenting here is blaming Amerika for this. We all know (hasbara included) that poor Amerika is a plump puppy being wagged by a jewish tail.
Can the Unmericans pelase and kindly stay over in Unmerica and leave us the fck alone. If you like your continent.......
It's truly amazing the power of alchemy when it becomes laced with printing presses and high powered militaries with nuclear weapons?...
Case in point Macedonia and it's Zionist Jew problem!
Looks like this is the U.S. State Department's way of saying to Greece, "don't even think about taking a loan from that rather large muscular Eastern nuclear power"that will GULP kick our ass!
New World Order, Bilderberg, committee of 300 wants less than 1 billion people on this planet....
They may be setting the stage to achieve this fairly soon!
I suppose these "tankbusters" would be busted in no time.
Blowing apart a tank with 30mm rounds - yes, in Hollywood...
If you doubt that the A-10 can destroy a tank with the GAU-8 cannon, watch this.
http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/watch-these-a-10-warthogs-on-a-training...
Yes, suppose capable to do this. Wonder if can hold a good old 14.5mm round in the belly.
A modern ATGM is more effective and cheaper.

Do some research on what a 30mm cannon firing depleted URanium rounds does to a Russian tanks.
Blowing the track? Ripping the backmirror?
They hit the top ( thinner) armor for a reason...
Two quotes from the article:
>Germany "will no longer be able to stop weapons deliveries from from the U.S. and Canada."
>The service's European Command said this week that 12 A-10 Thunderbolts would be deployed to Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve, which was formed after Russia's intervention in Ukraine over the past year.
Such hypocritical bullshit. If Germany wants to stop weapons deliveries to Ukraine, a logical first step would be to close all of the U.S. military bases in Germany.
Germany is an occupied country since 1945. But now is the time to throw off the occupier's shackles.
Yeah, but OTOH, the ´Muricans deliver such nice planes like the A-10 if we need them. FOR FREE, including pilots. Maybe we should think about that throw off thingy for a moment ...
So the Ruskies can turn off the electronics on the USS Donald Cook but are helpless against the 40 year old Warthogs.
Intresting.
the only people who reported that the Russians "turned off the electronics" were State controlled media in Russia
its been debunked quite a bit - especially the part about US Navy staff on the ship turning in their resignation because of it
it simply never happened
sources?
It has been debunked quite a bit.
It hasn't been debunked at all. Because it was never acknowledged by the MSM. Just like the missing Ukrainian ATC tapes. You heard about it for a day and then the State Department hushed it up. Same with the Donald Cook. We heard about it on the MSM for a day and, bingo... into the memory hole..
Both the Pentagon and Russia agree that the the Sukhoi-24 made a dozen passes over the Cook in a period of 90 minutes.
And how did History's greatest military force respond when one of their modern war ships and its crew were so threatened? What did the heirs of LeMay, MacArthur, Custer do?
They did nothing but sail away to Romania.
I'll check back to see if you provide some links of debunkery for basho.
If you don't I'll just assume you have resumed commenting under your regular moniker: VIEDOKLIS, PRINCE OF RIGA.
Cook headed for Romania quickly.
I would say the Cook headed for Romania 'purposively'.
It did not want a video to be on youtube of it being sunk by a torpedo fired by a Bulgarian submarine built for the Balkan War...
but on the other hand the US Navy did not want to be seen acting out that old English custom of
The insane people on MSNBC pushing for a limited war.
Maybe this is Bill Gates way to reduce the surface population.
That crazy Russian Putin believes he can invade countries and no one will notice or object. Getting a population reduction is a win for Puutie as it is less strain on the falling oil revenues.
Hooray Warlord Caesar Obama. Maybe he can lead the Russian invasion personally, with Augustus at his side, armed with bayonets. The American people will gag while watching Rachel Maddow and Sean Hannity gush about the Warmonger-In-Chief's killing prowess.
What country has Putin invaded?
You troll, U! Putin hasn't "personally" invaded any country, on the other hand, his special forces troops using Russian military weapons are west of the "Russian" border and fighting in "the Ukraine". Look at the pipeline issues from the ME going into Yurp for just one reason for Russia's interest in this part of the world.
Yeah! It's not like they invade and fuck up Middle Eastern countries....
Russia.
Surface population...
Is there any other?
hell yeah. the sub surface is full of ET's if you ask the right person
and dont forget the uber wealthy in their sub surface fall out shelters when the shtf
Naw..all Bill Gates has to do is to get his wife to drop funding for mosquito nets and let the bugs work it out...
Have you guys noticed that whenever there's some positive developement on the ground in Ukraine there's always an escalation coming right away! It's like clockwork - some remote possibility of peace you say? Here's a new round of sanctions! Truce? Here's some new weapons for you! Canada of all countries introduced new sanctions on Russia today to "celebrate" the Debaltsevo debacle... and they want us to believe they want peace...
The Russian criminal Putin may have to back off on the plans for Latvia and Estonia that he has had in plae for years.
Maybe the Russian public is finally going to get the message from the dead soldiers returned to the families. Puutie is on a mission to get Russians killed.
If Putin wants Latvia and Estonia he can take them any time he wants, no one would be able or willing to stop him so stop talking crap.
More to the point, why would Putin want Lativa and Estonia anyways? Because Russia needs more land, LOL?
Of ccourse Puutie needs more land.
Pootie Lappers an make all exuses they want.
Puutie invaded Crimea and Ukraine for MORE LAND.
Only a fully paid Puutie Puppy could deny it.
Area of Russia 17,098,242 sq km
Area of Latvia 64,500 sq km.
Area of Estonia 45,200 sq km.
Lativa truly is a pimple and Estomnia is a pimple's pimple.
Not more land, more beach.
Certainly not for the potatoes, that's for damn sure.
Fuck off, Hasbara subnormal. The last thing Putin wants is to amass a herd of cats as his empire. He doesn't want a multi-ethnic, multi-confessional, continent spanning global superpower. He wants a strong and stable Russia, of and by Russian citizens who speak Russian.
Permit me to fix that for you Gus:
The American criminal, Obama, may have to back off on the plans for the world that he has had in place for years.
Maybe the American public is finally going to get the merssage from the dead soldiers returned to the families. Obama is on a mission to get Americans killed.
(And you're doing a hell of a job, Brownie.)
latvia and estonia lmao
2 occupied countries.
they just don't like it w/o someone to tell them how to run their govt.
first the germans and now the amis (oh excuse me nato)
you'll be toast before the sun comes up you silly troll.
just like the last time.
The problem is not the US the problem is Washington DC.
As well as WALL ST. & K Street
Correct me if I'm wrong but once all the Russian tanks are busted up, Nuclear Tipped Missiles will surely go after the bases housing the Tank Busters.

By that stage "J"OOk1e you and I will be dead along with everybody else and if it doesn't become instantaneous for you'll wish it had!
Remember to "Duck and Cover" after your lips reach the "chocolate starfish" for the last time!!!
this is all large scale war stuff for NATO, both sides are building up along the conflict zone
.
apparently Ukrainians don't take orders from nobody
Only 12?
On another point. Any soldiers actually dumb enough to fight Russia? Or vice versa. The only way it happens is if they false flag some bullshit on either side.
One again most of the commenters show they have no clue in reference to SAM batteries and Electronic Counter Measures. This battle of target acquisition and countermeasure has gone on for years. The A-10C has a few tricks up its sleeve that really help it out in and electronic combat environment. It flies an uprated AN/ALQ-184 pod for self-defense jamming. I will not go into particulars but suffice to say it is bad ass. It also carries an AN/ALR69A(V) radar warning receiver that ties in with ALQ-213 and flare/chaff dispenser’s. This capability combined with the proven survivability thanks to extensive armor provides a very robust system to get to the target and bring the pilot home.
If we are flying in a heavy SAM environment any strike package will be escorted by a combination of standoff jammers like the EA-6 prowler or EA-18 Growler and F-16CJ Wild Weasel aircraft. You Russian fan boys out there don’t want to be around any SAM battery when the word Magnum is spoken on the radio and the AGM-88E HARM is on the way. They will have to chain those fucks to their radar control seats.
Another dup post.
Dup post
There will be no sympathy anywhere in the world when the war crimes trials begin.
Good luck with that plan. Especially as the rebels haven't needed radar to take out Su-25s.
