some inherent and unavoidable risks come with the territory.
Launching and landing planes on the deck of a boat is pretty risky as well.
There's no excuse for shoving one off the side with a tractor. Likewise, no excuse for losing one due to a wire failure or anything like that either, but at least that one is easier to accept.

That guy's channel is excellent if you're a plane junky but dont have a supercomputer, badass VR headset, or endless amounts of time to test how actual air to air combat scenarios might would play out.

And to think there's a fair chance we have a 6th gen fighter ready to go. We are 2+ generations ahead of the rest of the world in air superiority equipment. It isn't even close.
And, we can actually field and deploy our stuff. The mythical SU57 and whatever the Chinese 5th generation fighter is is nothing more than an occasional air show prop. Our shite actually works.

The newest F16's are monsters. They'd trash that temu viper.

Current tactics are basically bounding maneuvers where aircraft #1 gets just inside its own range/envelope but outside the opponent's, fires, then turns and burns while aircraft #2 rolls in and does the same.
Or, have an F22
We don't get enough credit for having that thing or what it's effect would be in a gloves off shooting war. Its almost 40 year old tech at this point and still outclasses everything else by such a tremendous margin.

It's a capable plane. I'm sure the export version is watered down.
As already stated, the French are pretty good at making killing machines.

re: So now reducing C02 will result in oxygen starvation?

Reducing amount of available plant food is not necessarily a good thing, unless depopulation is your goal.
Despite the amount of deforestation in the world, we're in a period of global greening and warming. Its natural climate cycles with a debatable amount of human influence. The only way we feed this arse pile of people is grow a lot of food. Global cooling and CO2 reduction are not conducive to that.

I wonder what it does when it gets there. Does a driver get in and back it into the loading dock?
