Biden is going to do nothing and they will convince the majority of Americans that the risk of all-out war in the region is too great to risk military strikes and they will claim sanctions will work better.
I worked with the Indian Navy back in the 1990s and they had a lot of drive to be a Blue Water NAVY. Only a few things are limiting that, which are the lack of Naval Air to Air refueling abilities and true over-the-horizon Air Control and Direction. Their Harrier Pilots were completely crazy as they would come in 30 feet off the Water to conduct mock attacks (So did the Spanish), but the MIG 29K is a completely different animal.
Just flew back to DC on Southwest 737-800 via Midway and my Wife must have thought I was on Meth because as soon as we touched down the pilot hit the thrust reversers and was grabbing brakes, I was laughing and whoooooinng thru it all.
Loved the trip out to Vegas too as it was thrust reversers and brake grabbing all the way out.
I loved being at Pax River when I got to fly onboard a P-3. 3 turning and 1 spinning, we even did 2 once.
Whoever put this P-8 in the drink should be grounded as the new P=8s pretty much have the same engines that use to be on the 757 in a smaller version.
Democrats outspent the GOP, I live in the DC Metro Area and all I saw/heard were ads on TV and even radio that focused on abortion and MAGA extremists. The GOP had no real message in Virginia and National, this is all on the RNC. They are waiting for Trump to drag everyone else across the line in 2024!
I can honestly say, “I’m among the few Sailors who have actually flown in a B-52.” It was amazing and during takeoff, the tail actually lifts off the ground first.
EML’s require a lot of power (and the Ford is nuclear powered) and can launch aircraft that are heavier and quicker than steam. Steam on the other hand doesn’t require recharging after every launch so it can more aircraft back to back because on most modern Nukes, you always have a supply of fresh water for steam.
