    "The stealth or invisibility characteristics of the B-2A provide it with the unique ability to penetrate the enemy's most difficult defenses and threaten their most valuable and heavily defended targets."

    So it is true, only a couple of fighter squadrons, DRLO, EW aircraft, which minimize all this stealth, are attached to it. It's scary to lose an eroplan for 1 billion bucks.

            As a techie, I love beautiful and advanced equipment and I want to remind you that it is not a plane that kills (Soviet pilots also fought on tens of thousands of American planes), but a man sitting in the cockpit. This aircraft, although expensive, is technically impressive.

            PS

              Here I do not agree with you.
              According to reports, during the Lend-Lease War, the Soviet Union received 13981 fighters, 3652 bombers, 206 seaplanes, 19 reconnaissance and reconnaissance aircraft, 719 transport aircraft, and 82 training aircraft. A total of 18659 aircraft.

        Good photos of military equipment are beautiful in themselves regardless of the relationship to the developing country or the armies of countries. Any person who is fond of military equipment is interested in seeing such photos, even if they are photos of the "beloved" Armed Forces of the states.

          For me, there is no significance at all to the ownership of equipment.
          What side are your photos number 5 and number 6?
          No. 2 and No. 3 I can substantiate, as you see "uryapatriots" and FU-35 is already flying and, moreover, almost normally.

            No matter how it relates to the fabulously expensive F-35, its publicized capabilities and real value, but this is also military equipment, which I, for example, also want to look at. Or can only our equipment be hung out? After all, the site is called Voennoye Obozreniye, not the VDNKh pavilion.

          This is not a review. This is a haphazard drag and drop of images from a well-known, public resource. Those who are interested in seeing such photos can safely go to strategypage.com. There are a huge number of photos, and there are much more interesting ones than those that the professor drags here. This he has already turned into a weekly mission. Obviously, this annoys many, so the professor did not give a reason why he does this so often. In general, it seems that the more participants of the resource are indignant at such “reviews” of the professor, the more often he publishes such materials here. It seems like a banal provocation ...

            This is probably why the professor has the status of a "consultant" on the site, and you have a visitor. Because he knows how to look a little further than srach about "Gayrope" and throwing hats into the air.

          This people amuse themselves in a mortar ... crush.
          For comparison: Take a trip to the village and don’t smell the manure.
          Or you can snatch out from Kirkorov's song; "My bathhouse, I'm your basin.
          My sun, I am your ray. My door, I am your key. "
          This is not to mention the content under each photo.
          If Herrrr the Professor wants to, then let him write reviews weekly about mattress exercises and provide them with photographs. And then more than once you catch on the stuffing "mura" (for example, photo No. 5 and subsequent analyzes from: http://topwar.ru/30315-10-fotografiy-s-strategypagecom-ot-2-go-iyulya-2013- go-go
          da.html # comment-id-1300235)
          I myself can "stamp" all sorts of crap with the attached photos, for example:
          Joint US-Norway exercise in the Norwegian Sea "Environmental Intent". Spetsnaz with specially trained diving dogs are practicing landing from the C-5 Galaxy to the sea surface, followed by immersion and examination of the K-278 Komsomolets.
          All my words are aimed solely at pushing people to conscientious labor or GOOD CONSCIENT creation.
