Wow wow wow

So it’s all on the US then and Poland and any other NATO countries that have migs are off the hook

Putin’s threat to any country supplying fighters to Ukraine has just gone up a whole magnitude of st or bust

Wow

Poland = NATO = One for all and all for one. So doesn't matter who gives the Ukraines the MIGS.

Pretty shocking report on the news interviewing people in Moscow who are totally behind Putin. Not oldies either.


Nope, fk them all. McDs pay them, they pay their taxes, taxes pay for bullets.

Haven't they made it illegal to report anything negative?

I doubt anyone is going to stick their neck out on TV. Least of all the reporters.

There is a significant number of people you would normally consider to be intelligent in Russia who back what Putin is doing, probably in the high 20% range.

Don't think for one minute Putin is completely isolated in his views, he isn’t unfortunately. This is why sanctions wont work, he has to be taken out.

Just been sent this by a friend. Aren’t the RAF Sentrys retired? Maybe they’re un-mothballing some equipment….or maybe not.

I watched one flying low over Walsall this afternoon.

The Ukrainian state arms manufacturer offers 1 million bucks for every combat ready Russian warplane. Russians are welcome.

What do we thinking of the Russian armoured train then ?

They’ve been sold to Chile and are flown for maintenance purposes from memory. There’s ex crew on the Flightradar24 thread who could better answer.

Russian military has dedicated track laying teams. I guess you need to blow them up first.

Bridges are what need blowing and I presume the main ones are already gone. These armoured trains are already inside the main Ukrainian network. Presumably from Crimea.

Never heard of it, tbh. But it will run on the Russian guage lines only - so won't be going far into Ukraine territory.

Surrendering Russian aircraft to Ukraine sounds like a risky game at the moment.

Looked as ropey as everything else.

I'm pretty sure you can blow up track faster than you can lay it.

I also heard recently that in WW2 Ukranian partizans damaged the rail track around Kiev 200,000 individual times!

Wow. So Poland has just upped the ante. Could be st or broke from here.

Our office is just outside Willenhall, and I watched it fly overhead then make a right turn for a final approach into Birmingham International
