A not-so-subtle howdy-do to President Vladimir Vladimirovich?
Texas military aircraft watchers Steve Douglass and Dean Muskett caught three wedge-shaped mystery birds high over Amarillo’s Rick Husband International Airport earlier this month. They ruled out B-2s for lack of the W-shape of their trailing edges. But if they’re black projects why fly them in daylight? Douglass opines:
“A weapons system isn’t a threat to an enemy unless they know it exists. Ask yourself an important question – what’s going on in the world right now?
“Who (…of late) has decided to roll back the clock to the good old days of the Cold War and MAD?
Question: How do you make your adversary take a moment of pause and rethink his military doctrine based on Cold War technology?
Answer: You give him a glimpse, a hint that we haven’t just been sitting on our hands all these years after the fall of the Soviet Union.”
Adds Aviation Week’s Ares Blog: “It’s not merely logical to expect that numerous classified aircraft programs exist: it’s almost a necessity under the principle of Occam’s Razor, because if they don’t, you have to contrive some sort of explanation for what Area 51 has been up to all these years.”

THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Well, its’ not exactly Area 51 that creates all these funny machines, rather people in Boeing and Lockheed, but yes, it’s time to show V.V. some muscle. Lest he gets too frisky.
One reason Hitler lost WWII was that he and his folks put so much hope and faith into the idea of “superweapons.” While the Allies, meaning us, produced tanks that were not even close to equal to the German’s Tigers and others, we had a numerical advantage that made it like a wolf blundering into a hornet’s nest. Sure, the wolf can easily take out a hornet or two. But more than that, the wolf can’t win.
We ain’t got enough troops, even adding the pansies and women in, and we ain’t got enough weaponry. We’d be playing catch-up again, just like in WWI and WWII, and I don’t know if we have enough lead time to do it. The dumbass politicos in WWII were told repeatedly that war was coming, and they damn near frittered the nation away with unreadiness that time. Next time we may not be so lucky, or blessed by God, whichever your nature leads you to believe saved the United States of America.
I suspect Vladimir Vladimirovich will be more concerned about unsuspected nukes from on high than whatever else might get ginned up in 120 days or so. By then the war could be over.
In the meantime, Darkwater has an idea. President Mom Jeans should send in the SF. http://tinyurl.com/kav3z46
You’re going to see this and a lot more of “hey Putin, look what we’ve got” pictures from this Administration. Related the USS Truxton is being sailed all over the Black Sea to symbolize a “naval presence”.
