really would love to see some updated pictures of the Admiral Gorshkov from thsi month or last

I really think that the Indians need to be looking at the experiences of NATO and how we tried to counter the treat posed by the Soviet Sub fleet.

The UK is smaller than Sweden in size. The Swedes have troops in Afghanistan too.
Sweden can not count on the support of the whole NATO, when Britain is just a middle size power in the NATO. In the end the USA will decide if the British are allowed to keep the Falklands f.e..
The last British protectorate proper was the Solomon Islands, which gained independence in 1978; the last British protected state was Brunei, which gained full independence in 1984.
All from the last century as some thinking and feeling about kept alive by the immigrants from countries, but they do give the impression only as some movies do. Welcome in the European reality.

That is what France has about that.

Utter drivel if I’m honest.

the guardian as usual filing a sotry with so many errors its untrue.

6 new frigates costing 1 bill each – the guy is a moron always has been.

Put some Rafale’s on the deck and she would be formidable.

many thanks great pictures.

They did say in the piece though that they had a new layout for 2009. Its a great looking ship and I am sure that the Chinese will learn a alot from working with the Brazilian Navy.

I really would like to see Brazil up its defence spending and re equip its Navy. I really dont believe though that they need a carrier given what they want to achieve.
