Ukraine told critics of the pace of its three-month-old counteroffensive to "shut up" on Thursday, the sharpest signal yet of Kyiv's frustration at leaks from Western officials that say its forces are advancing too slowly.

    Russia has the best air defense in the world. C-130 is a big slow moving target. Even in Afghanistan they operated only at night.

        I assume you believe China has the best?

        Regardless C-130 gunships are a hilariously bad idea. This isn’t Call of Duty son.

          I wouldn’t know who has the best, but I know if you have to say it, it’s probably not true.

          130s are a bad idea, but meant to rattle chains.

            I guess if I was manning a SAM I would be a little rattled the first time it started raining fuselage parts

        Or course it can’t be the best, because they aren’t the USA
