If Turkey supplied the rebels in 2011-2012 cheap mortars, RPGs, ATGMs rebels would take all Syria with ease and Turkey would get a vassal state. Turkey could dictate Iran and Lebanon conditions and since Hezbollah totally depends on Syria, would boost control in Mediterranean.... But Erdogan...

Assad was a US lapdog since his childhood. ISIS attacked Israel through Sinai. ISIS attacked Jewish targets in Europe. They could not attack Israel from Raqqa and Mosul for geographic reasons. As I said just cheap old weapon supplies would kick Assad when he was on brink of collapse. But...

US and Israel had not war against Assad. You just contradicted your first sentence. :rolleyes: Turkey could take over all Syria with ease if they provided aid to rebels in 2011-2012. There was no need in ground troops at all. Just send some cheap arms and maybe shoot down some barrel bombers...

In 1941 Germany still had plenty of resources. But Hitler decided not to send reinforcements. More over in November 1941 he ordered to send 2nd airfleet from Moscow front to Malta, seriously weakening the air support.

In 1941 USSR war creating new divisions at insane rate. Total 821 divisions were created and restored, that's 4 divisions a day. That's why despite enormous loses - about 6 million killed, POW and injured. Red army in December 41 was larger than in June 41. Especially at front line. In June 41...

Without resolving S-400 issue there will be no F-35.

The ratio 1:10 was over Germany. Over Britain the ratio would be completely different. Plus me262 was 5 times more expensive than Me109. So even 10:1 ratio would not change much considering the overwhelming allied superiority in resources. Thats similar to Tiger tanks. They had 1:5 ratio but in...

Ejecting RAF pilots land in Britain and can be reused again. Ejecting German pilot becomes a POW. This was one of the major factors of British victory in 1940. Plus training piston pilots was much cheaper. Plus in 1942 America was already in war, which is basically unlimited source of pilots...

Thousands of V1 and V2 rockets falling on GB did not change anything at all. Attacking GB with string radar equipped air defence would not be so easy. All polits which were shot down would be lost and training pilots for Me262 was very expensive.

Well obviously its not Hitlers fault. Kill ratio is not necessary a decisive factor. When you are doing escort mission your kill ratio will be many times lower than when you are in free hunt mission. Yet you can do much more important job escorting bombers. As I said Me262 was not suited as...

Hitler ordered to divert Me262 into bomber in September 1943. So obviously this decision could not influence what happened in 1942. The main problem of Me262 were engines. Germans could not made them reliable enough and produce in good numbers until 1944. Besides it was 5 times more expensive...

You are wrong on many levels. 1) Me262 could not enter massive service before 1944 in any case. 2) In terms of quality/price there was no any serious advantage for Me262 over piston fighters. Me262 was faster but piston fighters were much more agile. Me262 could stay little time in air and...

According to UN resolutions Lebanon must disarm Hezbollah. So you can't throw stones living in glass house.

I am talking what happened after he attacked Russia. What would happen if he did not attack is mostly political question and too speculative. Thanks to officer experience they knew what kind of equipment they need to order.

They had no chance. Allied advantage in resources and manpower was overwhelming.

When we compare WW2 armies virtually always discussion goes to comparison of tanks. There are thousands of threads and videos comparing tanks, their numbers and quality.... But we should not forget that artillery played not less important role than tanks in the war, probably even much more...

F-35s caught by Hezbollah TV over Lebanon in rare operational flight A photographer for Hezbollah-owned TV station Al Manar tweeted photos of the advanced fifth-generation aircraft flying over Lebanon. By JERUSALEM POST STAFF JANUARY 25, 2021 20:00 Israeli F-35s are...

Very interesting comparison based on pilot experience. F-35 annihilates everyone in terms of RWR and ECM. In radar it annihilates the F-16C and on pair with heavy F-15E. When in comes to maneuverability F-35 is very good at low speeds and close maneuver but somewhat losing in sustained turn...
