I have pretty much stopped monitoring military aircraft on the thread -- except for US doomsday aircraft (E-6B and E-4B types) and Russian military aircraft.



My primary interest in those aircraft is as a sort of barometer for military tensions between the two superpowers.



If anybody wonders why I post them, that is why.



The Putin-puffers bitch about it but of course they bitch about everything.


They seem awfuly concerned about what I post on a thread they say they detest.


(Apparently, they do read it quite frequently.)
