    RE: Windtalkers

    >>Also, Marines did not like to search dead Japanese because of boobytraps.

    I am sure someone you have just killed is not going to be bobby trapped, but anyway, Hollywood does what he likes with history to sell a movie, we all know that.

    Can I help?

    >1) Since when has Indonesia operated the BMP-2?

    Since 1998 as far as I can gather. Only 11 delivered in 1998, but I beleive there was a recent order placed for more.

    >2) What type of cehicle is the first pic…with the painting
    >of the island on its hull? It looks like a French type, but
    >I can’t place it.

    AMX-10 PAC 90, with the Giat 90mm turret I believe. An APC becomes a light tank!

    I hope this helps.

    RE: Ukranian disaster

    The lastest video I have just recorded (and will watch many times) does seem to suggest engine failure. The engines were smokey as the Su-27 came out of the dive which suggests FMP (Full military Power – or thrust), but then as she started to level out the pilot would have realised then how LOW they were, and so could he have then hit the throttle to full AB to climb out – quickly – and possibly caused a flame-out? The smoke from the engines does appear to vanish as the jet approached the ground. I agree though, definitely TOO LOW anyway.
