The BUFF IS a dinosaur. It's a 60-year-old flying freight train that can be shot down with minimal effort by SAMs or even the lowest-end fighter.

But when you have complete air superiority and SAM suppression, it’s a nice bomb truck.

Was he duped by the US officials, or was this part of his report a lie?

Who knows. U.S. official who?

btw designed with slide rules, drawn with pencil on vellum, and the BOM was in 3-ring binders, LOL

That's the way it was done when I started a career in engineering. Our first computer was a time share with 110 baud access via teletype, programing language was FORTRAN II. I've lost count of the number of programming languages and operating systems I've run through. Things really got exciting when we started 3D solid modeling and rapid prototyping. Amazing what 40 years can bring...

I was at an air show earlier this summer.
Just happened to be talking to an old guy but still working at one of the big suppliers to Boeing.

He laughed in the old days when we used slide rules and drafting boards we could put out a new plane in 4 years, now with all the computerized stuff it takes 20.

The ways I sees it—The Russian Communists are GONE—no more socialist world empire for the workers of the world. That’s dead BUT what didn’t die is Russian Nationalism and a desire for a Russian World Empire under the two headed eagle with the Orthodox Church to return the world to their brand of Christ. No more idealism of Marx, now it blatant Imperialism and power! This might be worse. Now its the Third Rome! They are not our friend—they will tell you Russia has no friends.

It’ a lost “Red” seal trying to find its way back to the Arctic circle.
