Interesting - any links ?

Not much in them…

Yasen / Graney Class Submarine

Yasen / Graney Class submarines are being built by Russia’s Sevmash shipyard for the Russian Navy. The submarines are being…

Replacing the old akulas. Basically the Russian version of an UK astute class.

Macron just said that France could offer MILITARY support to Ukraine.

Well well this may not be a two side war from tomorrow on.

That will be military aid (weapons, armour, aircraft etc). They wont be getting physically involved - would be surprised if any western country did.

There's currently 4 or 5 NATO B-52's circling over Poland / Belarus.

Belarus ?

That is worrying …..

Type 45 were decent at picking up their subs I thought ?!

As @john jako said, the Type 45s are more focused on air defence although they have decent ASW capabilities. A '45 in the Black Sea would be a big help now.

The Type 26 is going to be the main ASW.

Belarus ?

That is worrying …..

Belaurs Border Guards have been involved in the conflict up to now. That'll not be the major focus at the moment, but it won't be forgotten.

The Type 45's radar is one of the best in the world, if not the best. It would offer a lot of intelligence for the Ukrainian forces if it was in the Black Sea.

I’m just glad dholliday is banned; his own invasion of threads is probably what inspired Putin

Puppet government I would assume. The place will fall like a house of cards. You can see the entire population heading west and who can blame them.


It’s an awful human tragedy

You could literally be talking about the English with their Dear Boris.

Looks like he’s moving up from Crimea

[Spadge Vernacular]

There was an interview with a Ukrainian soldier on before talking about what is happening. The interviewer asked if he thought they could hold off the Russian army and his response that "we will do our best" struck a chord with me. Absolutely awful situation and not right that a consistent failure in leadership should mean that these men and women (and children) face this nightmare alone. Heart-breaking stuff.
