Clinton is a disastrous bumbler and liar whose misdeeds have already led to the deaths (arguably, murders) of hundreds of thousands of women and children. Mainly in Iraq, but also in Syria and Libya. Since you missed it in real time, you should buy a history book which would inform you that it was ...
Jump to postThey're not going to get all of it, and while ISIS is the top priority, the potential fallout is the US strengthening support for Turkey. That said, I think the Kurds can handle it. These people have been crapped on for decades and abandoned repeatedly by the Americans. We owe them one. We owe ours...
Jump to postBMI...you do realize that if the USA creates or supports a free Kurdistan, the Kurd people already Turkish citizens will rebel right? I think that is far from a certainty. The premise of a free Kurdistan is that would have to be fully carved from Iraq and result in no loss of territory for Turkey. ...

Jump to postDefeating ISIS is priority number one. While this is true we need to keep in mind that this is really just treating the symptom.

The TELAR doesn't provide either speed nor altitude, only azimuth and direction. Azimuth is direction. The TELAR operator has this display in front of him: http://www.whathappenedtoflightmh17.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/buk-screen.jpg and so will have a good indication of target speed. Target sp...
Jump to postIt doesn't seem terribly far-fetched that a fairly large number of rebels might have past experience in operating these kinds of advanced air-defence systems. So, if is set my argument aside for a moment that the Russian military would not lend such a system to civilians, doesn't this suggestion th...
Jump to postI think it shows that Russia handed over modern SAM systems, which imho makes it not so unlikley that they would also hand over a Buk. Manpads are what brought that helicopter and ground attack plane down from what I've been able to tell. And if there really was a Pantsyr S1 system in use in 2004, ...
Jump to postWhat is often overlooked is, that there is also clear evidence of the pro-Russina side having used SA-22 Greyhounds (aka Pantsyr S1) system in 2014. No there isn't. A Ukrainian Su-24 and Mil-24 were shot down by the system near Heorhiyivka while pro-Russian soldiers posted pics of the associated 17...
Jump to postWe can rule out the rebels completely - no launch codes and no training. The TELAR has a data-link capability, but a Buk battery is designed to operate in fairly close proximity, so we would need to double check the range of the data-link. I was also unaware of the Intelligence Support Activity doc...
Jump to postYou must read the global security text carefully. The range given is the guidance range, which means inside this range the radar is designed to guide missile on to a target. Logically this is quite close to the missile range. Snow Drift should have a range of 150km against a 777, but the most impor...
