- dingo_bat 8y agoIt's a civil war in a "shithole" country. I'm talking about proper battle with a capable air force enabled enemy.
- anoncoward111 8y agoThe Syrian Air Force has multiple Russian fighter jets. All sides have anti air craft capability. If you weren't so polemic, you would be able to understand that quadcopters are a cost efficient and highly effective form factor.
- jonathankoren 8y agoI think of Sebastian Junger's observation about the war in Afghanistan: "Each Javelin round costs $80,000, and the idea that it's fired by a guy who doesn't make that in a year at a guy who doesn't make that in a lifetime is somehow so outrageous it almost makes the war seem winnable."
- anoncoward111 8y agoVery very pithy and revealing info you have provided above. Of course, the rocket is forcibly billed to the US taxpayer because of corporate lobbying and the demands of shareholders and politicians alike. At this point, I would almost rather us be forcibly billed the $80,000, and just let the missiles rot. They provide negative value to this Earth when used.
