Current Affairs Ukraine

Unless triggers broom can perform advance electronic ware fare and carry a wide range of air to air and ground weapons then yeah.

The airframe is old but effective and should match most of what the Russians have in there Air Force apart from their most advanced jets

That’s a no then

From Ancelotti's appointment to this. What a mad 2 years and half.

I thought COVID was weird enough, what the hell. I am not ready for WW3.

Cancel culture like a lazer beam. Sending him cancels in trade and cancelling bank accounts.

Its a shock Putin still rocking twitter. That'll be next I fear

I’ve been in a helicopter with a Navy pilot who was deliberately trying to scare me due to a lost bet with him.

They are a different breed.

Absolutely they are, I’m not questioning the skills of military pilots.

It’s all the other stuff that goes around them that is problematic. Need the right kinds of ordnance that will fit to the hard points, correct spare parts, trained engineers, fighter controllers who understand the capabilities of the jets, etc, etc.

Genuinely had this sort of chat with my youngest before.
Two years ago he was doing a project in school worried about climate change.
Now, he’s gone through the Covid stuff.. even last week storm damage, and now he’s watching WW3 potentially in the news.

Wish we didn’t have 24/7 news coverage on telly sometimes..

If doing so were costless and there were no risks of escalation, the West would probably try to go down this route.

As it stands, I think our governments would prefer a deal. The tricky bit will be getting them, Ukraine and Putin all in the same bargaining range, then somehow cutting through all the nonsense to find a deal that satisfies.

I dont think they want a deal.

As is typical in western countries, crowds and popular opinion drive policy, rather than statecraft which is what should be occurring at dangerous times like these.

The Tiffs can make stuff from scratch Navy wise if they have to.

I can only speak for our ( UK ) lads though.

Do you remember the ‘four minute’ run - how far can you get after the warning siren?

Ukraine’s battle against Russia in maps and charts: latest updates

A visual guide to the war

www.ft.com

According to latest map, seems that Russians managed to advance on Southern front, took Melitopol and trying to link up with Russian/Separatist forces in the East.

If they manage to do that, they could cut of entire Ukrainian Eastern front, basically best units of Ukrainian army

Mix of “try and die” or “We have hot water, food and you can call you Mum” you’d hope would be persuasive to at least some of the Russians.

Them troops are clued in on the enemy. Ukraine is not the enemy.

But alas they are pawns just like America and nato troops are. Like USA thoasands of miles away in foreign countries invading counties in Asia and Middle East. What the government told them they are there for is more far fetched than what the Russians are fed. But they fought regardless.
