You are being disingenuous by omitting the amount of planning and engineering work that went into the Empire State Building before construction even began. It took neay a decade in total. Same with other quickly built mega projects like Eiffel Tower and Golden Gate Bridge.

It lacked the barriers that are added to protect bridge piers from ships. The Golden Gate Bridge is 90 years old, but it has had a lot of the original steel replaced. Old rusted riveted plates replaced with much stronger single-piece welded truss sections, while keeping the look.

Irrelevant because in a war zone, air defense was brought in due to the risk, and no preexisting infrastructure or port of any kind was there, and everything was transported by army ships. You are comparing two things that have nothing in common.

Maneuverability can be augmented by small jet nozzles on the wings that bleed off some of the air from engine compressors. It can also use more traditional thrust vectoring engine nozzles. This is in addition to whatever control surfaces it has.

They will likely need at least 12 ATACMS to reliably destroy both bridges because of error and air defense. Possibly less or more if air defense is robust or if spoofing techniques are used plus really accurate shots.
Help! I'm having a hard time imagining what would happen if a 1600kg ATACMS, traveling from an altitude of 50km, at a speed of 1000m per second, with a 214kg delayed-fuze warhead were to strike this spot exactly? Any thoughts?

Before Ukraine gets F-16s, Russia is now almost blind in the Black Sea region.
Very telling how Russian early warning and air defenses are vulnerable to western missiles like Scalp and even our expired ATACMS. Every nation who bought or copied Russian AD is probably panicking.
Apparently Ukraine has attacked a Russian ballistic missile early warning radar in Armavir, Russia.
This destruction of this particular radar node has limited direct military utility for Ukraine, due to its coverage.
I guess some one really wants to test stability.

Urgency in fielding NGI is to defend against a near-peer ICBM attack meant going with Lockheed only. 44 GMDs’ 57% success rate per interceptor was never intended for an advanced ICBM with MIRVs and countermeasures, like Sarmat. Lockheed on track for 2028

True, and China also does this by funding extreme identity politics groups like Code Pink.
Extreme movements in the West are backed by totalitarian actors—RU et al.
These actors support fringe groups to destabilize the Western societies from within. Russia’s main strategy is to present itself as THE alternative to the “decadent” West. I’ll briefly explain.

I still don’t fully understand the significance of these “points,” but Israel was not bombed with glide bombs, fuel-air bombs, iskander, Kinzhal, etc so this is an incredibly disingenuous statement.
Odd that Israel didn't get a single point from Ukraine, neither from the jury, nor from the public. You'd expect a bit more sympathy from a nation constantly bombed by the exact same weapons that Israel is bombed with.

I think a similar argument can be made about Trump being unfit for the presidency and he is only 3 years younger than Biden anyway. Best we disqualify both and republicans can go with Nikki Haley and Dems can go with Gretchen Whitmer. Would be a major improvement.
People wake up & realize how big of NatSec threat Biden's dementia is. This is not a R or D thing. This is a major NatSec threat. If Putin were to launch a nuclear strike on US only Biden can give order to retaliate using nuclear football within few mins. Putin is a gambling man.

One-way drones can use Al-air battery, practical specific energy of 1300wh/kg compared to 220wh/kg of Li-ion. They are also cheap. Disadvantages are they are non-rechargeable, at least for now, the aluminum oxidizes and gets used up. But for one-way drones, that’s not a problem.
