Current Affairs Ukraine

For the first time ever, the EU will purchase and deliver weapons to a country under attack.

Hard to stress just how badly ballbag vlad has misjudged this. He's awoken Germany and the EU, crippled his economy, completely isolated himself and cost the lives of countless Russians.

Still, if Kyiv didn't hold....heroes, the lot.

There is lots of conjecture that US and a few other nations are already flying sorties over Ukraine

Mad that. I’ve never sat in a cockpit before but am guessing they are different and have different controls. Can pilots just rock up to any jet and be able to fly them in battle?

I’ve drove two different class of submarines before and they where both very different. I couldn’t just be given the helm of a French boat and be asked to drive it. Different breed fighter pilots to be fair so maybe they can lol

Its antisemitism

What?

Chechnya is majority Muslim so clearly not.

Anti-muslim yes.

 

[FrenchDarrenBent]

Suburban areas of Kyiv are plagued by wild boars, these animals go nuts for the taste of this fatty lard. By spreading it on the bullets, these guys are increasing their chances of a kill; if the bullets don't kill em the wild boars will. It's an old but effective strategy, used in numerous conflicts within the region.

So boars love pigfat and are cannibalistic? ?
Isn't that how Jacob kreuzfeld starts?

Ukrainian news reporting that Belarusian soldiers have requested political asylum in Ukraine, they want to enter Ukraine and surrender.

I get into my wife's car and struggle for a few minutes as it's got an actual handbrake and brakes like a train, so imagine rocking up in a totally different jet.

I wonder if some of the pilots may *cough* retire *cough* and decide to become *cough* mercenaries *cough. There's already a few vets travelling over there.*

*You're a veteran if you put your papers in the day before.

I think Poland and Ukriane fly the same MiGs

Poland has a few of the older Russian jets, but most of their arsenal is now modern US stuff - F16s etc.

Like the Russian soldiers that help the separatists take Donbas in 2014, Putin said they were on their holidays.

Yeh highly possible they’re similar. Am sure they will be given a 20 minute lesson over zoom and a handbook manual lol

 

[Kev The Rat]

This looks like defcon 1 to me

F16's are 45 years old.
