What bothers me about American SocDems is that they don’t push class consciousness whatsoever, and rather than decrying capitalism with their platform, they call themselves “capitalists” with no capital….

…hiding that they identify as socialists—if they even do—does them no favors. They’ll be called socialists anyways, so why not advance clas consciousness and build coalitions instead of filling the “big tent”? They’re Lassallists, red-herrings to the working class.

Be so for real right now… Late-1970s Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia, and Libya’s Air Force’s could solo 1939 Europe. These are just some of what Africa today has to play with in the sky alone.

… early-80s Libya solos France, Germany, Italy, and Spain alone. Images: Tu-22 bomber, MiG-23MLD, MiG-25P, & Mirage F1ED. Their numbers may not be high, but the altitude, speeds and accuracy they offer could cripple the Rhineland and most ofWestern Europe’s heavy industry.

An Algerian Su-24MK or a Libyan Su-22M3/M4 with a few Kh-27PS’s or Kh-58U’s is all that’s needed to blind Britain’s “Chain Home”.

F-106 is a tremendously underrated aircraft. It was one of the first flying weapon systems, boasting the Hughes MA-1 radar and fire control computer that could interface with SAGE to command the Dart to fly and fire almost autonomously. Really cool!
Something for the F-106A Dart fans. An excerpt from "The Engines of Pratt & Whitney: A Technical History - 2010" by Jack Connors. It discusses the J75-P-17 and attaining the speed record.

The MiG-29 up shorter than its operational range… which isn’t great.

the humble MiG-29A cares not for fly-by-wire. her agility and stability is thanks to her immense love for the proletariat.

It actually was functioning rather well in her 1989 fleet trials and the first years of operation. See this video of the trials. youtu.be/YDimMSg4YEU?is=KifY…
Shoutout to the 1991 manga "raid on tokyo" for some nice drawings of the VMF invading japan (Kuznetsov class actually functioning 🥲)

#NewProfilePic found this awesome photo of an Su-17 in a unique configuration with an SPS-141 and a pod that I don’t think is the ELINT or SEAD pod, but it’s incredible.

I cannot stress enough just how underrated the Su-17M4 and Su-22M4 variants of the “Fitter” are.
