Thrust vectoring jets changes direction but not necessarily to MAINTAIN current speed. So if the vehicle was not designed to carry sufficient fuel to maintain whatever maximum speed, every maneuver decreases current speed.
The main thing about reading/studying history is to recognize patterns because history is made by humans and we prefers to act within known parameters -- each to our own. Major events, such as wars and natural disasters, reveals how we resort to our 'bags of tricks' to deal with these life...
No. You are not supposed to.

The control and launcher areas were separated by a distance of 1,000 to 6,000 yards (roughly 0.5- to 3.5-miles) and were often located within different townships. Technical limitations of the guidance...
There was nothing to prevent the EU from taking over its defense from NATO. Nothing. Everything you listed could have been compromised out somehow. When the Soviet Union collapsed, that was when Europe should have began to reform its collective defense posture to minimize, if not remove, the US...

Collectively, the EU/NATO does constitutes a formidable adversary to the singular Russia. But the greatest risk in any collective, or union or confederation or compact, is that all it takes is one dissent or one weakened member to put the entire collective at risk. An aggressor do not have to...
Lame joke. So stale I could use it for salad croutons.
You are not here to discuss the Second Amendment at any level above the juvenile. Frag grenades? I can make it myself with ingredients from the local hardware store. Where do you think Islamic suicide bombers shop and they do not need the...
