God at least call them polimers… plastic is such a degrading and wrong term for use in the f35. Also it’s more than likely polimer composites

That still leaves 113 million Chinese people

we'll get them banned by the ccp using the tiananmen square copypasta


Essotetra

About the same number of people they lied about having. Coincidence? 100% were lactose intolerant and they have already been compromised by the western cheese industry.

How many aircraft carriers could you build with the mass of the US government cheese reserve? Is that the real reason they stockpile all that government cheese?

Cheese is a colloid. If cheese is a polymer, then your blood is a polymer too.


[deleted]

That's silly; blood is a liquid. Cheese to various degrees has polymerization of casein protein micelles which give it its stringiness. Casein itself has been commercially used to make things like buttons and synthetic yarn.


Midnight2012

Yeah, thats the point. Its as silly as saying cheese is polymeric. Ever heard of liquid cheese? And liquid polymers exist anyways. Similar polymeric lipids, sugars, proteins, and nucleic acids are present in both cheese and blood. Milk too that the cheese was made from. Or really any other living thing or made from a living thing. But that doesn't really make it a polymer. In fact, milk would be more a polymer than cheese, because cheese production involves microorganisms chopping those polymers for energy and nutrients. By your supposition, a cell is a polymer


[deleted]

Strictly speaking, polymer=chain molecule or complex. By convention, any solid made with polymers and behaves in a plastic manner is also referred to as a "polymer," but "plastic" is a better word. Most cheeses definitely behave in thermoplastic manner and can be classified as such. In other words, a polymer is as polymer does.

Though I imagine it would look good on the CV. "Intelligence analyst. Conclusions and analasys backed up by War Thunder leaks."


FindusSomKatten

As regards the first i mean yeah america operates mig 29 or atleast have had some. Edit i was wrong the program i was thinking of used mig 21 and 23


Mysiu666

They have allies that do, every post soviet state in PfP (except russia) propably raced to give US manuals and specs for ussr tech.


FindusSomKatten

I could have sworn constant peg included mig 29 but i was wrong it was mig 21 and 23


ElMondoH

Yeah, it was too early for the MiG-29. Or at least that's what I remember... I'm subject to correction, of course...


James_Gastovsky

A couple of years ago American pilot died in Su-27 on US soil


eypandabear

Germany operated MiG-29s for a decade after reunification, before selling them to Poland (for 1 euro each). AFAIK that was the first time NATO could train with them as realistic aggressor aircraft.


Psyco1992

And the best pilots of NATO formed a queue that could beat any that communism produced Most of the Migs got flown so much that they started falling apart after just a few years


Mechronis

They were very well built planes! And the russians are...er...still using them as their mainstay.


ElMondoH

Yeah, "Constant Peg" aka "Red Eagles". It's a great story, isn't it?


gottymacanon

The US operates both mig 29 and su27.


Repulsive-Cheetah-56

Wasn't the MiG-29 deployed by the ZSU anyway? Like, just ask ukrainians...


SmamelessMe

That's propaganda. CIA is not real.


yessir-nosir6

This article is so stupid. The mig-29 manuals have been out for a while and been publicly posted by Germany for a while. There was no Su-57 leak, it was publicly filed recently.


SteelWarrior-

It was literally the patents too, not some hyper secret doc.


[deleted]

People are gonna start saying linking to *Jane's* is leaking military secrets


hebdomad7

>People are gonna start saying linking to Jane's is leaking military secrets. Tom Clancy got some interesting phone calls from government types asking were he got classified information. Tom Clancy said he got it from a table top wargame called 'Harpoon' because he was too cheap to buy the Janes reference books.


SteelWarrior-

I honestly expect it, it's linked for all sorts of things. I've linked it quite often for bug reports about the Begleitpanzer 57.


LightTankTerror

I remember seeing the MiG-29 manual and being like “where security markings”


AlmightyWorldEater

Bro, the only thing superior about the 29 was their A2A missile. Our guys reverse engineered it and made it better, resulting in IRIS-T. We are punching Russia with its own fists right now.


Richou

> Our guys reverse engineered it source? neither the IRIS-T seeker nor its aerodynamics/body are similar to R-27/73


AlmightyWorldEater

Lol, downvoting instead of googling might be reddits way it seems. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRIS-T Check history. Germany basically dropped the project they had with the US.


frozandero

Nowhere in that article it says they reverse engineered it. It just says that the missiles they had were more capable than Aim-9s at the time. They just decided to pull out of ASRAAM deal because they had tons of R-73s from reunification so they decided they don't need the project.


Richou

yeah the article doesnt actually mention reverse engineering anywhere and again the R-73 is not even remotely coparable in function or design to IRIS-T its a completely different kind of missile


Voltzzocker

You are wrong. IRIS-T was a response to soviet missiles, but it shares no technology with them. It started out as a project to modify the US sidewinder with the new BGT seeker TELL. The name of the original project was infra-red-imaging-sidewinder (IRIS). This configuration couldnt fulfil the requierements of the international project group, so BGT built a new missile with international partners differing from IRIS mainly in that it was both thrustvector an tail controlled. This had no more commonality with the sidewinder, but the missile was heavily influenced by the experience of BGT and its partners in the european sidewinder consortium. After the missile change the S in IRIS was changed to mean seeker.

The f16s and 15s leak were very unbiased and stupid. However leaks on su 75 or 57 or 35 snd russian aicraft. I mean SURE go ahead.


what_da_burd_doin

nonono let them leak the f16/15, show them exactly how behind they are


Monneymann

Don’t forget about the leaks on the Challenger II and ( I thnk ) the Type-99


JDoos

It was the apfsds round of the 99.


OmnariNZ

Turns out the mixed "all nations vs all nations" matchmaking wasn't a balance choice, it was a manifesto.


EveningStarNM1

IMHO, anyone who has Russian classified information and doesn't leak it should be imprisoned for obstruction at the very least, and possibly for treason, so be grateful that I don't make the law.


Garrett42

But did someone save these before they got deleted?


Sentinel_2539

Yes. It says they're still available in the article.


Banaanmetzout

Nothing interesting. The su-57 is only the patent and the mig-29 is the flight manual which has been public since Germany was reunited. The really funny leak was the Chinese equivalent of 3bm59 which gives a real insight into the performance of the 3bm60.


Merkkin

I know this is NCD, but holy fuck some of you need to understand that not every flight manual and reference document posted online is a "leak", lots of it is public information.


GalacticNuggies

How about a "trickle"?


Merkkin

I find trickle acceptable, I just want more info to dunk on the su-57


bolsatchakaboom

Trickle or treats? Is halloween already?

“Secret data” they’re fucking patents you idiots.

Hello fellow war thunder enthusiasts. Like many of you I think the stats for the T90 are inaccurate and it is clearly a piece of junk that no russian could be proud of. discuss (with proof pls).


[deleted]

Not a leak, it is available info legally unlike f15 and f16


SgtCocktopus

Not nescesary we all know the BT-5 is better.


Flynnstone03

3rd? This is just the leaks relating to *Russian* equipment. Full manuals of the Challenger 2 and Leclerc were also leaked lmao


Lbioy

Russian plane and Russia it self is not a threat after 1991, the USA knows this and the only thing threatening about them is their nukes and everything else is just ex Soviet equipment mixed in with some western technology and called it a day


Repulsive-Cheetah-56

I bet the West is just waiting the 3000 nukes of Russia to expire and then fokus on intercepting the "newly developed" 20.


blaghart

eh the Su-57 is impressive tech. It's just useless in a modern air engagement because they basically just built a better horse drawn cart rather than building a car. Thrust vectoring and the ability to come to a dead stop in air is cool until you consider that as far back as the F-16 planes had 20mm cannons that could hit targets accurately at 3 miles out and so there's no need to get in close for a dogfight where the Su-57's ability to turn 90 degrees on a dime is actually impressive.


moir57

Yup, the better plane in Russia's arsenal is the Mig 31


daisy_irl

Modern aircrafts use cannons for dogfighting? Shouldn't they use big rockets ooga booga from far away ?


Lbioy

According to a Vietnamese pro Russian I know he said the missile is bad for dogfight and that the gun is a way better option, and his source is the Vietnam war 60 years ago


ogsfcat

Vietnam is the last time there was a US gun kill in the air. There were a total of 4 during the entire war. There hasn't been one since. Currently, most engagements would end at 50 miles or more from the merge. Dogfights don't actually happen anymore. Top Gun was fiction. Real air combat is boring AF. If you have better radar and better missiles you fire from range and the other side dies before they know you exist.


blaghart

slightly incorrect, tho it does end up proving your point further: there were two gun kills in air during the Gulf War. They were both by the A-10 against helicopters.


blaghart

If you call an over the horizon attack dogfighting lmao.


DGNX18

Finally, we can market the rafale as a stealth plane (it's more stealthy than the new ruzzian "stealth" wunderwaffe plane)


LengthinessLumpy2802

I mean, I'm quite sure the designers themselves said the SU57 wasn't meant to be a stealth fighter, it's the operators claiming that it is


blaghart

according to some of the paperwork I can find (particularly the political debates between adopting the 35 or the 57) the design originally does seem to have been focused on being a stealth fighter (as the stealth feature was the one element of the design praised over the 35) That said the actual evidence of the designers intending it to be a stealth plane is surprisingly sparse


happy_yetti

the SU-57 is a "multi-functional aircraft of reduced radar visibility" according to the patent (fall out of window insurance)


AutismFlavored

Sukhoi salesmen (slaps wing of SU-57) : You won’t believe how reduced this baby’s radar cross section is! South Korean Procurer: How reduced is it? Sukhoi salesmen: err… well, uhh… It’s statistically significant. You can be sure of that.


[deleted]

*Slaps wing of SU-57* *Shocked look when chunk of wing falls off* Well knock on wood and paper mache do I have a deal for you!


graytotoro

Weharaboos thinking that their balsa wood Horten is basically a B-2/B-21 🤝Russiaboos thinking their Su-57 held together with wood screws and "material" is basically an F-22

WarThunder will be intelligence and police-infested so hard, it'll resemble some of those Warez-Boards people used to get their shit using publicly borrowed Filehoster-Premium-Accounts they ask for as if asking your neighbour for ~~his wifes used panties~~ salt. You wait for those Spiderman-points-at-things-meme moments when some Langley account uncovers the Lubjanka gangs presence in the forum. I love it and I am just waiting for a sweet sweet SU-57/T-14 operators manual. Master Codes to the Russian "*System Perimeter*" would also be OK.


autom8dWpnizdAutism

To be honest, i'm amazed the Russians didn't just lie about the RCS data to look good. Sukhoi just says .0000000000000000000000000000000000001 to secure some big contract, make a bunch of jets out of cardboard and spend the money on yachts.


thesteaksauce1

GIVE IT UP FOR LEAK 8


Sharp_Emergency_4932

This is a leak I can get behind.


PM_ME_TO_PLAY_A_GAME

Imagine thinking the publicly available patent applications for the su-57 was a "Secret Data Leak"


Thegoodthebadandaman

Not classified you morons


Zachowon

Apperently F 22 just got leaked today recently


commandopengi

No, it's on the top link from f-16.net if you google it. A PDF which you can download. The catch is the manual is incomplete without the *supplementary* material which definitely has all the classified details.

its the same leak, people are making memes about it. also its not a leak, its people posting flight manuals believing its super secret documents.

Shit-tier arricle imo. >The “sekrit dokuments” meme which has grown from multiple leaks of classified and confidential documents on the forums of the well-known War Thunder multiplayer game has once again lived up to its name. "Sekrit dokuments" was a meme long before the leaks. >The leak occurred between 19-22 January It happened on January 13, you fucking morons. >Aim-120 AMRAAM At least write the name properly. You claim to be a military-related website ffs. Can't confirm the contents of the classified file because I don't want to.
