I have seen what you describe. I knew a few too.

One that worked for my father in law, was the best electronic tech I have ever known. He was non-degree’ed, but ran circles around the smartest of young EE’s they brought to the plant. He could smell and diagnose anything. His name was Duane Cawthorne, they called him “DC” (as in non-AC, but he was great with all things electrical)

It is like the rest of Biden’s illusions projected by Lying Fed Gov. All fake.

Far too short a time to be effective in aerial combat in modern jet aircraft.

Your statement is real. Not media BS.

Imagine 2 objects closing, head on, that doubles speed. Shear impact would be enormous.

What is truly disgusting is the rest of his little spiel while in Ukraine:

Any decent human being should be appalled at using Ukraine as a real live sandbox for testing out our weapons and as a cash cow for our arms industry.

And one more little thing, Linda: China, Russia, Iran and the rest of the world are also seeing how well our weapons work and don’t work, how soon we ran out of spare ammo, and on and on.
