Dear Poster, you are going to have to do more than post twitter links with finger emojis to convince that Russia is on the winning side 'blow after blow'. I trust this no more than twitter feeds that claim UAF is winning tweet after tweet. What I do judge this on is how the situation on ground...
I hope this fab stuff is real and not a farse to kill teenage girls and if its real than I further hope Israelis are shivering in their uniforms, vs. Gazans in their homes who are on receiving end of retribution everytime substandard weapons are lobbed by Hamas. Give them some of this if its...
An older relative (former PAF) helped set-up one of the Gulf Air Forces. Pilot candidates were difficult to select in a small population pool and in addition to physical/academic criteria they had to be filtered for family allegiance and that made the pool even smaller. Eventually it was set-up...
Most of the flyers and posters are misleading. The last one I saw was the 2018. Flyovers, aerobatic displays. They were preceded by days of practice as you would expect.
This was a fly-over only (not an airshow) of 4 Mirages, and some Sea Kings. Its entertaining for sure, but it was not an airshow.
Which country do you live in? If its Pakistan, they are not subject to military dictate of being shut down by PEMRA because a certain anchor person is getting too close. If its in Russia, they are not towing the party line. No news channel has been shut down nor reporters given threats.
They...
The unintended consequence as the construction of LNG facilities in US (plants and ship terminals) has made the US largest LNG exporter (emphasis is on liquid). Rapid construction in Europe has made it possible to utilize this.
Its still not cheap but its there. A friend recently came back from...
Nobody is squealing: US has become the world's largest LNG producer, Europe has accelerated its transition to green energy, and Russia has lost its smartest and richest. It was inevitible that Ukraine would be asked to negotiate. For Russia they will get selective sanctions removed (like Iran)...
Not everybody in the world is a coward like you. If they decide to fight for themselves because they choose to be under the NATO yoke than Putin yoke, who are you to judge? Ukranian men have decided to stay and fight and they proved themselves in the first 90 days with pure defensive weapons...
Stop acting like Putin's spokesperson: lies and deceit of every power and aspiring power. Russias are masters and so has most countries. Only some countries can really pull it off )'Global war on terror"), the rest fail.
2018 was a full aerobatic display by JF17 and F-16 and about a dozen fly by's. Lots of practice displays in days leading up to it.
This one just seemed like a fly by. I was close and could hear one formation of jets but could not see. Anybody know / see it?
No matter? If Russia was winning why did they go through so many commanders, and used every option (criminals, mercenaries). 15% of territory gained is not the intention behind this 'specail operation'... Russia is winning and its industry has started to collapse (see my earlier post on...
I remember prophecies like this when Russians first withdrew from Kiev. Equivalent of Baghdad Bob: every time there is territory lost, some futurustic announcement like this shows up. In the meantime RUssia auto industry is a fraction of what it was 8 months ago because it can't make cars
Don't...
Economic strength about as important as military strength. Putin stepped into a NATO trap and has single handedly put Russia back at least 20 years industrialization.
I have said before that over 2 years, their planes won't have spare parts and oil equipment won't be serviced as most of the...
Red tape in a democracy takes a back seat when important national priorities are at stake: LNG terminal in 200 days....

Completion of facility in 200 days a crucial part of ending Russia dependence

Just like the environmentalists and other non-mainstream groups pressure the Govt, one option would be to put pressure on countries they immigrate to (or where the top brass immigrates to). If its Europe/US/Australia this would work buy making their retirement miserable.
This does not go...
6 months later Russians deliver on their promise with a random missile and we are supposed to be in awe of it. Is it waiting for the ultimate war to come through with its ability to project.
It also claimed it destroyed HIMARS (actually more HIMARS then were supplied). For those of us that are...
Iran, the same power that can do ZERO against Israel and its close allies (Hamas and Syria) are constantnly killed by Israel. IAF roams freely about on Syrian airspace killing who it likes. This is the Iran you are trying to describe?
There is what you believe in your view of the world and then the view that Putin originally had:
1. March into Kiev with tanks rolling in
2. Depose current Govt, and impose friendly Govt with people rising up to help
3. Special operation done fast and quick
4. Oil as a solid soft weapon
5...
Russia has been saying since April that any supply route is a target. Either because of lack of will, or lack of ability, no supply line has been disrupted. So 6 months later they launch a missile. NATO reaction not here yet, but its been less than 24 hours.
