That's right! T-34 is faster and more manoeuvrable than German tanks, only "inferior" in size, but small size is also the advantage of T-34.
About fire power, an interesting blog discussed about this: http://tankarchives.blogspot.c...
IIRC, the attrition rate was really high on the first couple of nights of Linebacker II because they flew the planes in predictable formations. After they handed over mission planning to theater commanders, the strategy was revised to have them fly in at random altitudes and from different directions and losses were cut dramatically.
Partially right! You are right about the route of the aircrafts were predictable because they flew from Guam, Thailand base and aircraft carriers, etc, which NAV already knew.
You are wrong about changing the altitudes and directions cut the lose:
1) NAV also have radars they know when, and where the USA aircrafts are flying to, i.e. Hanoi (for about several dozen of minutes)
2) Also about radars, SA-2 could reach the altitude of B-52, changing altitude does not help. SA-2 vs B-52 was all about jamming vs anti-jamming.
3) At the beginning of the air war, NAV lost, but then they won.
Even relatively simple SA-2 SAMs managed to take out several B-52s in Vietnam.
B-52 is vulnerable if it is not supported by tactical airplanes and jamming systems.
SA-2 is useless if it is not guided and jammed.
Vietnam air war was about jamming and anti-jamming. Americans were successful at first, there were hundreds missiles of NAV were out of control and lost, and the pilots joked that the SAMs are like a big telephone pole.
A documentary by Russian, which interviews American pilots, Soviet advisors, and Vietnamese air-defense personnels, search Google for Youtube video:
"Dance with death" in Vietnam War
And in Vietnam, we didn't have weapons that could take out those *14* missile batteries. We had dumb bombs, slung under the wings of F4s that were desperately trying to avoid getting shot down themselves.
No!
At this time, USA already used passive homing missiles, aimed to destroy any North Vietnamese radar systems, which were guiding missiles. At first, it worked, but North Vietnamese found counter method, they used radar at the first phrase and then turned it off, they guided the missile by hand, by calculating the route of B-52s.
A pound of gold is higher density than a pound of feathers, so it has smaller volume.
If we weigh those two in normal environment, then there's smaller buoyancy force affects on a pound of gold than a pound of feathers.
So, assume that there is no atmosphere, 'a pound' of gold is, now, lighter than 'a pound' of feathers.
No, only spelling mistake.
I intent to write phrase "takeoff from Moscow", then I think it is not necessary. It would be "... aircraft was forced to land...", but I was distracted when quoting from the news paper, only recognized after I posted.
4) Unless you think Russia is somehow behind the paris attacks, there is nothing that ties Snowden with said attacks-- and even that is just supposition. (There is shit little Snowden has given Russia besides PR.)
The story, by Greg Miller, recounts daily meetings with senior officials from the FBI, CIA, and State Department, all desperately trying to come up with ways to capture Snowden. One official told Miller: “We were hoping he was going to be stupid enough to get on some kind of airplane, and then have an ally say: ‘You’re in our airspace. Land.’ ” He wasn’t. And since he disappeared into Russia, the US seems to have lost all trace of him.
Bolivian President Aircraft was forced to take off for searching Snowden.
A new study from the University of Iowa finds that once people reach a conclusion, they aren’t likely to change their minds, even when new information shows their initial belief is likely wrong and clinging to that belief costs real money.
In the book "How We Lost the Vietnam War" of Cao Ky Nguyen, former Prime Minister of S. Vietnam, he vealed how American side is very sensitive with "playing words":
page 172-173:
A the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Melvin Laird asked the assembled group, "What shall we call the program?"
Someone suggested. "De-Americanization."
"No! for God's sake," I protested. "That would really prove to the world that you have been fighting the war." So since it had always been our war, we settled finally on "Vietnamization."
Imagine, Pentagon Defense Secretary Ash Carter asked the assembled group, "What shall we call our militants?"
Someone suggested. "Moderate Terrorists"
"No! for God's sake," imagined-me protested. "That would really prove the world that you have been support the terrorists." So since it had always been our terrorists, we settled finally on "Moderate Rebels."

Russia corporate with France now, but some "NATO country" like Turkey is not, they are funding some Al-Quaeda groups, hosting some FSA leaders, and buying illegal oil from ISIS.
You will soon be labeled as "Putinbot" or working in St. Petersburg.
You MAY be the things I listed, but I find irony that when one say something "positive" about Russia, he will be "the propagandist", but their "legitimate" propagandists are "collaborators" and labeled as "expert" or "activist" who has no expertise, instead of Youtube and GoogleEarth "skill", such as Eliot Higgins, MIT's experts, real weapon expert, image forensic experts dismissed him everytime. Or, who has never been Syria for 15 years, and uses phone to call home for "collecting" information and the "news papers" cites from him.
Rami Abdulrahman's UK based SOHR has been cited by virtually every western news outlet since the beginning of the uprising.
The United Kingdom-based SOHR is run out of a two-bedroom terraced home in Coventry by one person, Rami Abdulrahman,[3] a Syrian Sunni Muslim who also runs a clothes shop.
Some "journalists" report the news about Syria, have never put their feet on the Syria soil, they hide in Beirut, Lebanon for example, such as Martin Chulov.
Now, when the readers of, such as The Guardian, frequently complain about the Rami Abdulrahman SOHR is constantly be the source of the news, despite their pro-FSA views, they choose the phrase "groups monitoring the war" instead.
The sad truth is that after four years of war in Syria there are few moderates left and those that do exist lack military strength. The Free Syrian Army was always a mosaic of factions and is now largely ineffectual.

Su-24 is bomber, F-16 is air superiority fighter.
You are a bit confused, Su-24 not Su-25.
Su-24, a bomber, Su-25 is equivalent to A-10 Warthog (not A-2). The later is close air support aircraft.
Syrian fighter plane was shot down by Turkey before. They protect their terrorist along their border.

Why the media are *not bore* to repeat "moderated rebels", I feel the same to repeat the "old" arguments, which I read from the Western sources.
The Independent had the insight about who is who, among the groups fighting in Syria, which reveal there is not such "moderated rebels" as the propaganda interest in: Who is Russia bombing in Syria? The militant groups determined to fight to the death
The sad truth is that after four years of war in Syria there are few moderates left and those that do exist lack military strength. The Free Syrian Army was always a mosaic of factions and is now largely ineffectual.
The FSA, could be considered the most "moderated" group, actually showed that they are extremists, if not terrorists. Their commander ATE heart of Syrian soldier, or accused of allegedly trafficking in human organs. By no means, this organization is fighting for DEMOCRACY or FREEDOM.
Why, the West continuously claimed, Russian is bombing "moderated groups", they unintentionally reveal, BEFORE the Russian bombing, there are only 'four or five' Syrian fighters against Isis, by top general, many were deserted, or hand the armors, weapon to Al Quaeda. Or AFTER the bombing, eventually, the Defense Secretary of U.S Ashton Carter said:
However, the moderate Syrian forces “have not come under attack by either Assad’s forces or Russia’s forces.”
The Pentagon explicitly admitted their 500 million program to train "moderated" rebel is FAILED.
Where is the hell "Western-backed rebel forces" is bombed!?
I'm not really understand what standard you use to judge me like that.
I do not frequently post comments.
The comment of mi (197448) I posted above is in the topic I read before.
ColdFjord is too (in)famous that I will not comment about this case.
I spent no time to do those things.
mi (197448) is old (he was from Soviet/Ukraine), so he is smarter than coldfjord.
His above comment seems just perfectly follows the "right" track here, only if no one know his true viewpoint.
