when you start talking about new technologies, ssn-26, or s-400s, or su-30s, those take money and those take training, which is another way of saying it's a conventional capability, but it would certainly change your thinking, especially if you talk about air defense in the as-400. that is part of their layers of trying to prove that they're capable of handling anything that we have. it's a sobering problem, when you start thinking about, you know, the kind of volume of fire that they could generate. that makes you a very intensive reader of warnings and indications. i used to -- you know, if you're walking down the street and you're in a really tough neighborhood, and it's dark, and there are people around you that you don't trust, your kind of in a little bit of a stance, if you're happy go lucky and somebody walks up to you and clocks you and you're not ready for it, so it's our job to be the ones that are always ready for whatever may come. >> yeah, i look at the idea that we've seen more, as i mentioned, conventionally instead of working in syria, but they're working under irgc ord
