It's surprising because the JF16 doesn't carry PL 15s. JF16s shouldn't be able to see Rafales before they're seen, much less get in range to shoot them down. That's why I asked about the J10s.
The initial reports were J10s with PL-15s. We don’t know much about the PL-15s, but they’re pretty hyped up. I think this would be the first time any of our allies have seen them in action, but I could be wrong about that

Also, the fighters each country fly aren't what I would've expected. They both have a bunch of French stuff. Pakistan has a lot of Chinese stuff and a decent amount of American fighters. The Chinese jets are the more advanced. India has a lot of Russian stuff, but the French jets are more advanced.
So, in the event of maximum escalation the alliances would be:
- The US would side with India who doesn't fly any US stuff (and be fighting against US made jets).
- The French would side with India (and be fighting against French made jets).
- Russia would side with India and be fighting alongside traditional adversaries in the US and French and in opposition to its ally in China.
- China would side with Pakistan and be supporting US and French made fighters and fighting against its ally in Russia.
- I don't know about munitions, supplies etc stockpiled, but it seems like that could be a big problem for Pakistan since they wouldn't be getting anything else from the US or France...so they'd be losing support to about half of their entire air force.
But what if it escalated beyond a regional conflict? Those alliances seem like they would get quite a shakeup. Russia would have to abandon India to align with China, right? Then India loses support for about half it its air fleet. Seems like these two countries have not properly thought past the first part of this little dust up. If they let things go too far, they both get the shit end of the stick.

So, anybody hear much about this alleged massive "dog fight" between India and Pakistan? Several sources reported on it yesterday, but then nothing since. Almost like nobody is sure it actually happened.

Cool story bro time. I was bartending at Carlos and Charlies during this. I lived close by, and the owner of Just For Fun called me and everybody else nearby (he was also part owner of CNC) because they needed help letting out the lines on all the boat docks before all the boats were destroyed. If I remember correctly, there were only a few that were seriously damaged. Otherwise, would've been tens of millions in losses just in that marina. We also had to do the same to the damn restaurant. Just hours of manual cranking of winches. Nothing we could do about all the cars left in the parking lot that night. A dozen or so vehicles 20 feet underwater in a matter of hours. They hired some divers the next day for anybody that needed to retrieve stuff out of their cars.

There’s a blue bungee cord thing coming from his stomach area. You can see it in a few frames. Maybe he was supposed to have a safety/backup attached as well?

I don't know whose getting rain, but it ain't me. Just over half an inch since yesterday...so, just over half an inch for the last couple weeks.

Also to address later insanity. Does this dipshit realize at its height Alcatraz housed 312 inmates. I was there last summer, it's small.
Dude, he said it would be substantially enlarged!

Well, he pulled forward.

That was 3, maybe 4, facts stated in different ways. I'm not impressed.

Update:
- This volunteering experience has really been a good one. People are really grateful and the volunteer teams have been about 60-70% locals with the remainder foreigners like me. It is really inspiring to see how the Ukranians are like "Fuck it and fuck you, Putin. We rebuild." Being a little part of that feels really fucking good, given my family history fleeing Ruzzn oppression, my feelings on this war and what i know about it through this thread, and, now, actually meeting the people.
- I am so sick of air alerts every night. Can't imagine what it'd be like in the Kharkiv direction for example. Sounds like a tornado siren. Usually they just throw some Shaheds at us, which is no big deal, but a couple nights ago and tonight it was ballistic missiles like Iskander/S300, which can make it through the Patriots. Regardless, those hoes always attack at night which ducks up my sleep schedule because i start work at 8 or 9. Fuck you, Putin. I imagine my 7 and 5 year old living through this and how to explain it to them so the understand the gravity of it and take cover, but it doesn't taint their childhood.
- Tinder date was great but was no more than some passionate kissing bc we were in public places all night and she needed to get home before martial law curfew kicked in. My understanding is that Ukrainians are not big on PDA so I'll take a conditional W there. We have plans to meet up again tomorrow night, her kiddo will be with her ex, and we've talked about a sleepover. She was comparable to her pics, too, which is nice.
More substantive update to come with observations and whatnot.
But fuck Putin and Slava Ukraini!
You have a 5 and 7 yo back here? Man, you’re much more brave than me.

I’m guessing millions of feet of water around the state, and the lakes might’ve only gone up what, maybe half an inch?

I would classify outside as “chilly” now. I’m guessing that puts all hopes to rest?

I stand corrected. After posting that, I stepped outside and was tapped by a light mist that was not visible. #Blessed

I don’t even know what 100% of rain even means anymore.
I don’t even know what constitutes rain. If we got a single drop, does that mean the 100% prediction was spot on? I also didn’t get a drop, so this is just a hypothetical exercise

On one hand, I’d love to see how they perform in battle against somebody else’s best. On the other, if that were to happen, we’re probably in a world of shit already
