ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
Now! Spamming in French! 🇫🇷
The French Mirage is a pretty good fighter plane I’ve been told. It’s a shame Serbia was our WW2 ally. BJ changed that.
Russia is making and using most of its own weapons and they work quite well.
$3 billion for 12 planes makes each plane cost roughly $250 million dollars which is a rip off for the Rafael fighter. Somebody is getting their beak wet and bloody in this deal. The Serbians should hang their leadership over this fiasco.
France is desperate to support this industry, and stay relevant to USA, China and Russia defense industries.
They probably sold them for pennies on the dollar.
No surprise, Russian military weapons have always had great performance claims but their actual use in Ukraine found them underwhelming.
Russian arms exports fell by 53% between 2014–18 and 2019–23. The number of countries purchasing major Russian arms dropped from 31 in 2019 to 12 in 2023. States in Asia and Oceania received 68% of total Russian arms exports in 2019–23, with India accounting for 34% and China for 21%.
Czar Nicholas made the biggest mistake in history starting WW I by mobilizing Russia’s army in support of Serbia against Austro-Hungary. Serbia wasn’t important to Russia’s strategic needs. So what if it was a Slavic nation. The sad truth is that WW I was a just a big family fight.
Definitely good news!
Smells like a Z level sell out of Serbia by another budding western quisling to me. That smell, why the smell of money of course. On a $3Billion deal like that, my corruptomatic gauge says Z would peel off at least $50 million.
DC diplomacy in its essence.
Serbia should be careful with any Patriot Missiles in their control, lest one or more of these 12 new aircraft get shot down.
We should already be 5 years into transitioning into pilotless aircraft and a large inexpensive drone air force of all kinds of craft from fighters and bombers to even tankers and surveillance. Making multimillion dollar fighters that need a human pilot are so very close to obsolete.
When it comes to engineering, the French copy no one. And no one copies the French.
