One such rare event that lead to a genuine popular revolution was the 1989 Romanian revolution. The signifficant difference here is that Russians have a slave mentality and will just obey to the bitter end.

Wishful thinking that lead to predictions like "Putin will fall if people dislike him" we've been reading since more than 3 years. Even if 90% oppose him and the war, nothing will happen. That's one of the strong advantages of a dictatorship...it does not matter what 90% of the population thinks.

true, I was thinking of general limitations of DSIs reached at approximately Mach 2.0, has indeed nothing to do with the F-35.

Very cool thread, big thanks!
A cheesy question now. How does the F-35 manage to achieve sufficient air compression at Mach 2.0 with the elegant but boring diverterless supersonic inlets (DSI)? Is the inlet volume expanding very much behind the cabin to compensate?
