WTF! This is the first time I can recall someone calling stubby beautiful, lol. I find Raptor/B-2/B-21/F-15/F-16 quite beautiful though.

Super Hornet and Fatty, yuck!
Super hornet is ugly. But f-35 really reminds me of American muscle cars for some reason. The plane is legit.
You originally said tens of millions. And no, the EU has not given Ukraine hundred of billions.No, I originally said $10B, and then edited out the number 'cause I felt it was wrong. "Tens of billions" was correct though, versus the EU's "hundreds of billions".
That's 'cause the discount is below the cap. So it's a good idea to market it that way. What really counts is what happens to prices are the war is over and the Chinese economy gains steam. Until then, we are fine with cheaper oil.
A lot of that is exported. Just so you know, one of the refineries in India is owned by Russia, and they are selling themselves oil, and is counted as an import too.
Rosneft owns a 49.13% stake in Nayara.
Trafigura sells out of Russia-backed Indian refiner Nayara Energy
Trafigura has sold its 24.5% stake in Russia-backed Indian refiner Nayara Energy to a Rome-based energy investment group, following on from a deal on Monday where a group of firms backed by the commodity trading company agreed to buy Lukoil's Italian refinery.www.reuters.com
Nayara operates a 400,000 barrels per day Vadinar refinery...
And quite a bit of refined petroleum from Russia is exported to the EU. So you guys continue to fund the war in Ukraine, albeit indirectly.
This comes as Indian refiners snap up discounted Russian crude oil shunned by the EU and other Western powers, with analysts pointing to a clear possibility of products refined from Russian barrels reaching the EU’s markets via India.
Russia crude in tank, India steps up petroleum product exports to EU as region shuns Moscow
India’s petroleum product exports to EU countries rose 20.4 per cent year-on-year in April-January to 11.6 million tonnes, with the region climbing two spots from the corresponding period of the previous fiscal to top the table of 20 regions importing refined products from India.indianexpress.com
Funny how that works. Instead of buying straightaway from Russia, the EU is buying the same petroleum via India.
So basically laundering oil for the aggressor, but I guess it's >20-33% below market price.
Total EU oil product imports from India have only doubled, whereas Indian imports from Russia have increased 14-fold. So clearly it's not selling as much as it would like to the EU, and not making as much profit from what it does sell either. Laundering it in copious quantities is still scummy though.

You are the customer.
It's called "low base effect". So it's all good.
We are promoting peace and reconstruction.
First image is what the EU destroyed. The second image is what India is paying to rebuild.
Even though India's crude oil imports have increased 14-fold, it's still less than a quarter of what the EU bought. And that's just crude oil, we don't import gas or petroleum from Russia. And the EU is still importing.
Nope, you're amount has gone up 14-fold, EU imports from India only 90%.You are the customer.

First image is what India paid Russia to destroy. Second image is the result.
Nope, more BS from you.
Where does the EU’s gas come from?

You know what sweetie, your trailer park bros in the Pentagon just lost you the war for Taiwan. .
I can see why the USAF is seeing aliens everywhere & you got the urge to post that bilge here but not this bit of news.
Hyuk hyuk hyuk hyuk hyuk hyuk...
@Innominate
Software tests may be shorten. OK it's a risk, but see what happend to HARM & JDAM on russian origin ukrainian fighters. They made it short.
And during WW2 we saw first jet fighters, we saw V2... some big leap in aero tech.
All the F35 supporters may forget the supercruise, and the +20% in range etc....
Germany was a nice counter exemple

The war would have ended the minute you properly sanctioned Russia instead of only pretending to.
Integration is not R&D though. Everything is already available for it to happen, it's not a new weapon.
Yeah, sad fate for the F-35. But there was no supercruise ever, though.
What did they do?

I've provided the facts, all you've provided is accusations. EU use of Russian oil and gas has gone down to near zero, India's is up 14-fold. That's a fact, the rest is just your accusations.
Dude, we started buying oil in large numbers only much later during the war. And it was still only a fraction of what the EU bought.
And EU purchases should be counted from 2014, when Russia actually invaded Ukraine first, via Crimea. You've done a great job funding the war. It's also the time when the Russians actually built the military force that's now attacking Ukraine. It pretty much didn't exist before that.
They studied typ XXI sub, V2 missile, Me 262, Ar 163, first air to ground missile, first ground to air missile etc... in 5 years.
The famous F35 that was promised soon with a new engine? LOL.
It's one of the several promises never kept by F35 as supercruise...
The US umbrella is at that price.
You ramped up from the very beginning when everyone in Europe was ramping down.
Well, they made the mistake of not sanctioning Russia early enough for sure. The Russian military didn't exist before 2014, who knew?
Er, yes. 'Cause it wasn't our war. As far as we are concerned, we are buying cheap oil and even selling them to you.
Apart from the fact that you did not sanction Russia immediately, you are still buying Russian oil via India. That says a lot more about you than it does us. Otoh, not a peep from your lot when the Pakistanis killed millions of their own citizens that we had to rescue, and while being threatened by your people to not rescue them.
Yep, pretty much everything considered modern was inducted after Crimea.
And your lot weren't promoting Bangladeshi independence at the time of course. And haven't had any massacres of your own that a certain current Indian PM turned a blind eye to.
It's a sh1t-eaters logic to essentially say that everything inducted in the last 8 years was inducted in the last 8 years. All militaries get upgraded constantly.
It is if you tell the police to turn a blind eye. I mean JFC, you bitch about Jallianwala Bagh in which a few hundred died, meanwhile you have 'riots' which kill thousands that the authorities are apparently incapable of stopping?? I mean your first act of Independence was killing a couple million of each other. It's as if your lives only become important if you're not taking them yourselves or something.

~ 200,000–2,000,000 people Massacre of Sikhs and Hindus by Muslims in West Punjab and of Muslims by Sikhs and Hindus in East Punjab. The communal violence resulted in the murder of 20,000–25,000 Muslims and 45000-60000 Hindus. UNHCR estimates 14 million were displaced by the violence.
[33][34][35][36]
I mean you killed more of each other in the first year of independence than died in massacres during 200 years of occupation. In fact, I say 'first year' but it was like 3.5 months, since independence only began on August 15th. Even Hitler would be proud of that ruthless efficiency, the best he could manage was 1 million every 12 months.

So you're saying they didn't induct any new equipment between 2000 and 2014?
