@MetalHedgeFella @Kidar182 Dude 21 countries bought the F-35. 8 countries bought the Gripen We won't buy a unicorn fleet anymore, especially since the Gripen isn't combat ready, it's still in testing phase.

@Kidar182 Parts availability is the leading reason for the abysmal air readiness rates of the F-35. Lockheed Martin is a train wreck on top of a freeway accident when it comes to Parts for the hanger queen F-35. Read the pentagon report.

Buy Gripens. Build 72 Gripens in Canada for Canada, and Build 100 for Ukraine while we're at it. Europe has the money for Ukraine right now. Let's get it done.

@verstappenews Noone trusts Mekies to lead the team anywhere but the lower midfield when max leaves lol. RBR really fucked up when they fired Horner.

GP is leaving Red Bull for McLaren in 2028 and apparently he has long term plans to eventually succeed Stella as team principal 💔🥲

@formularacers_ @ErikvHaren Horner was right lmao. Imagine RBR sacrificing Horner when Max was gonna leave anyways. They should've used 2025 resources for the 2026 resources, if Max left anyways, Horner has always managed to find another champion driver

🚨 | BREAKING: Gianpiero Lambiase has agreed to join McLaren in 2028. Max Verstappen's race engineer will depart from Red Bull at the conclusion of the 2027 season. [@ErikvHaren]

@TheF1Fox @R4YM4N_ @RBR_Daily Which is fine, Horner wanted to sacrifice 2025 for 2026. they didnt win shit in 2025 anyways so it doesn't even matter, they spent so much money and resources on it.

@R4YM4N_ @plus_lens @RBR_Daily Without Mekies Red Bull would've been an uncompetitive mess for the entirety of 2025

🚨 Red Bull's Internal Combustion Engine is said to be on par with Mercedes as per AutoRacer They have built the worst car in their history. [autoracer.it/power-unit-fer…]

@TheF1Fox @RBR_Daily He makes decisions on the direction the team goes and who takes what positions, he was the one who got the Ford partnership, and he would've booted Wache if he didn't like what he saw.

@plus_lens @RBR_Daily You're acting like Horner was making the car himself

@neptuneontwt @True__mohd @chakravartiiin they were about to be bombed to oblivion, they saw the B-52 on the way and folded lmao

@True__mohd @chakravartiiin They have the entire world in an economic chokehold right now. They basically just made the strongest country on earth call uncle, they are doing just fine at the moment.

Gotta respect Iran 1v2ed a literal superpower and an almost superpower to a ceasefire all alone.

Just IN:— “Islamabad Accord" A deal between US and Iran has been finalized, mediated by Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir. Announcement will be made in few hours.

@CrusaderLe44955 @Bratt_world @CuckForbidden Google exists.

@plus_lens @Bratt_world @CuckForbidden That says nothing about rotors folding, retard

So you’re telling me mud and rain managed to make this desert runway impossible to use (soft) but somehow it’s still a strong enough surface to sustain bombs while staying flat ?

And before some dude tells me to go back to the kitchen, I’m asking this question because the narrative is that the mh6 little bird helicopters were in the back of the c130 Ok that makes sense, but they’re also not stored with the propellers on when they’re inside the plane 🧐

I’m just asking questions. I’m not an analyst or trying to be. But still, no one can answer me why the helicopters also got stuck ??

@Bratt_world The rotors are folded. When you carry one or two, you don't need to take them off.

@Bratt_world @CuckForbidden Rotors fold. Man you people are dumb.

@CuckForbidden Someone said it’s because they’re in the back of the plane But that doesn’t make much sense either, as the propellers aren’t on the helicopter when it is stored

@Bratt_world I swear COVID really lowered people's IQ. They blew up the little bird because it took too much space and time to bring back. It goes into the C-130.

Ok guys, how did the helicopters get stuck too. x.com/bratt_world/st…

@perpalleporno @World_Insights1 None of those countries want a trash ass Gripen

@World_Insights1 I think we should cancel our orders and go for Gripen

@Itsyabo81565846 @MotorsportiveHQ Fault of Mekies for pushing upgrades last year.

@plus_lens @MotorsportiveHQ You do realize that they had new regulations this year right? If their car was not overweight, they’d be up there competing with the Ferraris and McLarens

🚨 KARUN CHANDHOK: Red Bull is a "DIFFERENT TEAM" under Laurent Mekies. 👉 Notes a less high-pressure atmosphere, particularly for rookie Isack Hadjar. 🧐 Potential shift from the team's traditionally ruthless driver management style.

@shitpost_2049 Why give apartments to homeless people? They can work and get one like the rest of society

@FinanceLancelot Please blow up the data centers that house AI. I'm so tired of seeing AI slop on the internet.

If the U.S. destroys Iran's powergrid, Iran destroys OpenAI, Microsoft and Nvidia's data centers, which implodes the entire private credit market overnight because all their loans get revalued to $0. Maybe that's exactly what causes this flash crash.

@JanewayPi @shanaka86 nobody is saying that. You're literally a bot. It's literally a F-15E, the V-stab is too long to be a F-35.

@shanaka86 Some are saying the markings prove it’s actually an F35.

JUST IN: On March 14th, a Chinese engineer posted a tutorial explaining how to use passive infrared sensors to detect and track American fighter aircraft without triggering their radar warning receivers. Three weeks later, an American F-15E Strike Eagle is in a crater in central Iran. The IRGC says it was brought down by a “new aerospace defense system.” The system appears to be exactly what the tutorial described. The principle is elegant. Radar is active: it emits radio waves that bounce off the target. Every American fighter carries a warning receiver that detects those emissions. But infrared detection is passive. It reads heat. Jet engines produce heat. A passive sensor tracking that signature emits nothing. The warning receiver stays silent. The pilot does not know he is being tracked until the missile is already in the air. The F-15E is not stealth. But the tutorial was designed for the F-35. The same principle applies: stop looking with radio waves, start looking with heat, and the $1.7 trillion stealth programme becomes a coating on an airframe that is still hot. The tutorial was posted on Chinese social media, translated within days. Three weeks later, the technique appears to have been operationalised. This is the second time passive tactics have brought down a generation-defining American combat aircraft. The first was March 1999, when a Serbian battery commanded by Colonel Zoltan Dani shot down an F-117 Nighthawk over Kosovo using long-wavelength radar and visual cueing. The F-117 was retired within a decade. The lesson: stealth is optimised against specific frequencies. Change the sensor, change the war. Iran’s layered defense integrates Russian S-300 for radar search, Chinese electro-optical trackers for passive acquisition, and Iranian Raad-family missiles with onboard IR cameras for terminal guidance. Radar finds the area. Passive sensors track without emitting. The missile guides on heat. The pilot’s systems detect radar. They do not detect infrared. That gap killed the F-15E. Now consider who built this kill chain. Russia supplied the S-300 base. China supplied the passive sensors. Iran assembled the hybrid. And China is simultaneously the country supplying the rare earth magnets in every F-35 engine, the country blocking the UN Security Council resolution to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the country paying yuan tolls to transit the closed strait, the country co-authoring the five-point peace plan with Pakistan, and the country whose engineer posted the tutorial that appears to have taught Iran how to shoot down the aircraft China helps manufacture. China occupies every chair at this table. Supplier of the components that build the jet. Teacher of the countermeasure that kills it. Mediator of the peace. Blocker of the UN resolution. Beneficiary of the closure. The molecule passes through the strait in Chinese tankers paying Chinese currency while the aircraft designed to reopen it falls using Chinese technology. The F-15E did not fail. The assumption that the enemy would always look with radar failed. And the country that taught the enemy to look with heat is the same country offering to negotiate the peace while its rare earth controls ensure the replacement cannot be built without buying from the nation that taught the enemy to destroy the original. The kill chain starts in Beijing. The peace talks start in Beijing. Both end in the same crater. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@wrwmbt @CarlZha Yeah you do

@plus_lens @CarlZha I don’t cost 2 trillion dollars

Because F-35s are too embarassing
