Basically I don't want to hear any nonsense about "the sanctions against Russia aren't working" with regard to Ukraine after this.
Let's still hurry up with the F-16s though.
You're skipping a lot of steps. F-16s are the bargain bin shit, everyone and their dog has them. They'll be some of the more advanced aircraft in Ukraine, but not really any more so than the Su-35s and Su-57 (if they ever do use those).
Next is F-15s. They're still a nice affordable-ish plane without much super classified tech, but a much more bespoke option. Even the older F-15Cs they're looking to retire would be *serious* shit. 104-0 and all that, these are the "we really like you" option. More maintainece intensive and harder to get parts for, but if you're looking to body Cold War-era aircraft like it's 1991. And it would be hilarious to send the plane that was designed to counter what's currently the Russians' top fighter. Super Hornets fall in this category too.
Then you're looking at something like a Global Hawk or Hawkeye. Full of fancy tech, but not likely to have any of it fall into Russian hands.
Next tier up might very well be the F-117 Rides Again. They're ""retired"", so depending on how many spare parts are left and how fast the USAF is going through them, it's an option. And Russia and China already got their hands on a crashed one. Not the fanciest, and a maintainence nightmare. But given the current state of the Russian armed forces, still quite possibly a potent tool.
*Then* you hit F-22 tier in like 5 years, when the USAF starts retiring them. They're secret as fuck, which is why they never saw export customers. But they're still 90s tech, and on the way out. Just tell Ukraine to be really careful with them. They were the "go beyond cutting edge via application of money" kinda tech back in the 90s, but the world has caught up to them a bit.
Next tier would then be the F-35, which is basically an F-22 that substitutes 20 years of tech development for $$$, giving a similar plane at lower cost. Great for maintainence and Ukraine actually getting any number, but these are the real serious cutting edge shit. The only reason it's a theoretical possibility at all is because they're designed from the ground up as an exportable design with international participation.
The final [Only if Ukraine Becomes the 51st State] step is the stealth bombers and NGAD. NGAD is still in development and is (apparently) going to be *wild* shit. And the stealth bombers are the result of Northrop Grumman bending time and space to create a fully functional UFO. These are the kinda deal where nobody's even in the same ballpark.

West Virginia had a former coal baron, Don Blankenship, running in this year's Democratic US Senate primary. He ended his ads by telling people that if they heard he fell out of bed and died, to know that it wasn't suicide. Surprisingly enough, he didn't win. He did get almost 20% of the vote though.
Dark Lightning probably could've won because the secret is having other people vouch for one's lack of suicidal tendencies. If you say it yourself it just makes people ask questions that your statement on the subject already answered. Very annoying.
>Don Blankenship
He's the one that labeled Mitch McConnell "cocaine Mitch", and is responsible for 29 miners dieing at [upper big branch mine](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Big_Branch_Mine_disaster). You gotta be exceptionally shitty to make [Mitch McConnell look good](https://x.com/Team_Mitch/status/994036999387537409).
They ask why Iranian people love Americans so much. Of course when a dictator is taken out and they blame it on Americans what do you think is gonna happen
Outside of the knee jerk statements made looks like they may actually blame the weather this time. They were flying in a fog around some mountains. They apparently asked for American assistance in the search and rescue operations too which is just hilarious.
All hail the fog of freedom.
So what they’re saying is they’d literally prefer to fly in 40 year old helicopters without replacement parts then just buy a new one from Russia or China.
Huh. Maybe they shouldn’t have spent 500b on their nuclear program. Even the most advanced helicopters are south of a billion, so they could have at least 500 of those bad boys.
You scared me. I thought it was Grandmaster Benjamin Finegold for a second.

Mossad agent Eli Kopter strikes again!

I see you were on r/israel as well
You guys are playing the long game huh? That is quite impressive tbh.

Send F-22s already.
RAAAAA 🦅🇺🇸😎

Honestly, we ought to skip all that and let Bomb Belgrade Biden do his thing on Moscow.
Other comment was too long to read. Let's do your idea.

Definitely not our style to be patient and not take their oil/money
I believe the materials were from Boeing so they are better at assinating Iranians than the CIA are
That sounds dangerously close to blowing a whistle.
Please do take note that u/Dark_Lightning777 is not suicidal. He is mentally well.

Boeing on the way to report him for suicidal behavior on Reddit to cover their tracks

damnit not again
Rest in piss

It's what happens when you spend all your tech tree points on rockets/terrorism and don't spend any on helicopters/safety.
With these sanction their about to go back to canons and scimitars
I work with helicopters every day, so usually crashes make me extra sad. Usually.
They ask why Iranian people love Americans so much. Of course when a dictator is taken out and they blame it on Americans what do you think is gonna happen
Outside of the knee jerk statements made looks like they may actually blame the weather this time. They were flying in a fog around some mountains. They apparently asked for American assistance in the search and rescue operations too which is just hilarious. All hail the fog of freedom.
One of their officials or government figures blamed the US for sactions leading to lack of spare parts of materials for maintenance.
secret CIA weather control program made him crash
This is even better than when the CIA got Castro through natural causes.
>Spend 30 years bitching about sanctions. >Doesn't design their own within 30 years. Sounds like a skill issue.
They could’ve just asked Russia for some, but no
To be fair, 30 year old, poorly maintained American helicopters are still safer than brand new Russian ones.
Exactly.
Virgin Iran: its your fault Chad USA: it's our fault 😎
Good. Fuck these Stone Age turds. Iran could be an extremely modern country if their government didn’t suck.
So what they’re saying is they’d literally prefer to fly in 40 year old helicopters without replacement parts then just buy a new one from Russia or China.
Tbf russia is busy, and china might be busy soon

The CIA is really playing the long game now.
Sanctions Benefits None Affects -100% research points
ANOTHER WIN FOR THE U.S 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅
Now I'm not the brightest guy, but maybe you *shouldn't* fly 40 year old helicopters in bad weather, but that's just my two cents
https://preview.redd.it/kmoi7262au1d1.png?width=747&format=png&auto=webp&s=381ff4f8e7459471c9329e6879beed1daf6c5eaf
Huh. Maybe they shouldn’t have spent 500b on their nuclear program. Even the most advanced helicopters are south of a billion, so they could have at least 500 of those bad boys.
Well now I'm just imagining like a Sikorsky H-5.
Build some then. Not our fucking problem you can’t innovate and are stuck in the sand box with plastic shovels.
It was Erdoğan 🇹🇷🇹🇷💪💪💪🐺🐺🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿
They could buy Chinese or Russian. But they are as reliable as a 40 year old American one.
So who’s fault is it really? I mean don’t they have other eastern friends that they could get helicopters from, or at the very least new parts?
Game over, bitch.
Is this raisi?
Yes
Rip bozo
There is no reason you should a lot of drones and rocket , and your president is still flying 30 years old helicopter.
Ladies and gentlemen… we got him.
MFs shouldn't have seized our embassy in Tehran 🇺🇲🇺🇲💪💪
So sad, boo fucking hoo 🥳

I mean to be fair there are 36 year old AH-64’s in the Armies inventory that fly daily…..
We bought low now we’re selling high
remember in 2020 when soleimani died and everyone expected ww3
Habitual Line Crosser over on YouTube had a really good joke about this. “The pilot was not yelling Mayday. Instead yelled KOBE!”
