I've always wondered what total portion of Russia's military spending is devoted to that dog and pony show.

They've actually dumped a whole bunch of money into Long Range Aviation over the past 10 years or so, and regularly fly both the Bears and Blackjacks right up to U.S., NATO, and Japanese airspace.

Are any of the Russian Blackjacks even capable of flying anywhere at this point?

They flew to Venezuela a few years ago.

That's the attorney general of Crimea, Natalia Poklonskaya. She's pretty good lookin for a politician so the internet went nutso for her. Not to mention Putin put her in power.

Iran frequently tells the world about their incredible technological capabilities. Remember that super awesome "stealth jet fighter" in 2013?

Well apparently they've duplicated our stealthy drones:

It makes for a good laugh.

I don't believe in anything, I'm just here for the violence.

I love the 313 so much. Like, it's easily in my Top 10 favorite pieces of propaganda. When I was bored on watch in the middle of the night I would trawl SIPR for products on it for laughs.

There's just such an earnestness about it. A lot of people worked really, really hard to make a fake plane. It's kind of adorable.
