Here is a list of things that prevented a German invasion of Britain in July 1940:
1. Germany’s own complete inability to lunch such an invasion
2. The Royal Navy
3. The Season 1-2 cast of Dad’s Army
4. The Royal Air Force

Good advice, Dr Strangelove
Watch Putin loyalist on Russian state TV concede that Russia should acknowledge its recent defeats in Ukraine. He also proposed a radical solution of "the Ukrainian question": recognizing that Ukrainian people really do exist. More in my latest article: ⤵️

They ask pilot`s name, where he served, which airport he flew, then they ask him, who is calling (it was his chief). How much raids he did today (4), did he know, that he bombed civilians ( said that he was not informed). Also they told him, that they will send video to his wife

I don’t care if an S-400 isn’t the correct system to defend against attack helicopters, the point is Ukraine just used a pair of Hinds to do something everyone just assumed was only possible with a Stealth bomber and a cloudy moonless night.

During the Falklands War, RAF pilots missed opportunities to shoot down aircraft because they were unfamiliar with subtle differences in cockpit from the aircraft they normally flew.
I can’t believe I have to say it, but giving A10C Warthogs to Ukraine is a dumb idea. 🧵

Just so we’re clear:
Russia doesn’t have the money or resources to train soldiers for its invasion of Ukraine.
But it can afford to send an aerobatic team to Malaysia, whose airliner it shot down over Ukraine.
Like I said, the lookout opposite Langkawi Airport is a crazy good spot for photos throughout most of the day. These were taken at the start and end of the display, at roughly 1000 and 1430

There has definitely been an appetite on Social Media for this defiance. Ukraine has been bullied into this conflict; there’s a global audience that wants to see an underdog defend its home, & there’s almost a sense of release at seeing these acts after years of tension. /4

Don’t get me wrong! RAF was super important to the defence of Britain! It reinforced the message that Germany just couldn’t steamroll across the channel like they had done so on the continent! But if we want to take air power seriously in the joint context, lay out all the cards.
