    Hi All,
    crow11,
    Yes I know the vid’s your on about but what about those that say are Russian tanks etc.etc. they look quite fresh along with a lot of other stuff, anyway judging by what has been happening in the last few days with a rebel leader saying he wanted to escalate after the UKA withdrew from the airport and have no more truce’s also they invaded us so we want them out basically.
    haavarla,
    I understand that the Ukrainian Army are trying not to escalate into a full blown confrontation but it does make you wonder when you have rebel leaders come out with the statements like above and parade captured Ukrainian soldiers so they can be humiliated and beaten by those they have supposed to have inflicted civilian casualties. It seems to me that no matter what they attempt to counter act what the rebels are doing they get it in the neck for retaliating, I do suspect that the pro Russian rebels are firing from within civilian areas and that leads to the possible casualties if hit when retaliatory strikes are ordered.
    Like one chap said in the beginning the Ukraine forces were on the verge of putting an end to the fighting then the Rebels received a lot more and better weapons it was surmised that the weapons the rebels had initial captured would have been used up a while ago. They must have been re-armed by Russia also that some of this weaponry would require some technical aid so that has to mean Russian operatives ? but without definitive proof it’s all supposition yet seeing the video of what look like fresh weapons that some say are the latest tanks that Russian forces operate allegedly ??

    Hi All,
    Sanem,TomcatVIP,Crow11,RadDisconnect,
    I am following the Ukraine conflict through youtube as you tend to get both sides and then I try and form an idea of what is really happening, my main point was that there seems to be claims by Ukraine alleging border intrusions by troops and by armoured convoys in the main evidence to support this is on Youtube allegedly from those doing the fighting and those caught up in the whole mess.
    While I appreciate the fact that there are some Russian volunteers does that also go for the Grads/Tanks/Troop Transport/Tank Transporters/Trucks/Howitzers/Self Propelled Artillery/Mlrs-Tornado ? etc.etc. that appear to be Driven/Towed/Fired by professionals or are they all operating themselves ? It seems that some reports are obviously old hat but I would say equally that some are fresh and true. Whatever they are even though the UKAF would face missiles surely they would have countermeasures ? the amount of vehicles allegedly filing in columns that stretch for has to be at least 1/4 mile in some cases (Please correct if wrong) it still begs my question and I would say that unless the pilots are colour blind and cant tell the difference between Green military and White aid convoy’s they shouldn’t be flying in the first place.
    Please help me understand why as I would have thought these convoys are sitting ducks ? either that or the reports are false or another theory here the UKAF just does not have the capability to arm it’s ground attack aircraft anymore having ran out of suitable weapons and assets to do the job ?

    Err – nobody believes the Norwegian costings, not even the Norwegians. They’d already decided to buy F-35, & had to make it look good for the politicians & public.

    Hi All,
    swerve,
    Same as Canada they did exactly the same and if I am not mistaken the whole purchase procedure is being looked into at the moment concerning a certain lack of fair competition between it and other aircraft. I watched this video while skipping through Youtube below.

    Hi All,
    Charlie,
    You where right about the Dogs Of War excellent read especially the wy Roux was persuaded to give up with the assassination of attempt on Shannon with a present in his mail box. :eagerness:
    I am now 1/3 the way into Andy McDermott’s – Covenant Of Genesis, only problem is it refers back to three other novels in the series. Anybody else ever pick up a book and have had the same trouble ? I feel that if I read on I have missed out on the previous story lines involving these characters again anybody else felt the same ? Also does it really matter if the three previous books are different events involving the same characters ? Your thought please gentlemen.
