Well you might have fun with that but remember that crimes and internationally recognized crimes are two different facts.
Let’s wait and see.

Failed?

Has IS kept expending since the coalition took over air-Op over local forces? No.
It’s not because nobody want to get its feet muddied (again) that this is a sign of failure. For the “West”, there are no interests putting boots on the ground without a political solution.
The failure lies here so far: local actors clinching to an inherited old policy.

That’s a big one…

If that is so, I am pretty much sry for the misunderstanding.

I have come around an US algebra book lately and the Theo of Thales refers to the opposite angles and not the formula we commonly associate his name with in Fr.

Let’s put the blame on C. Colomb!

You might exhibit some kind of teacher’s syndrome but that doesn’t work on me.. Let me sum this whole argument up:

1. A video with four Su-24Ms and Il-78 over Homs gets posted by TR1 [response #80]
2. You imply that the video is not from Syria, but from some military parade, bcs the birds are allegedly too low [response #86]
3. My reply is that the vid looks legit [response #88]
4. Your reply is that the tree top at the end of the vid proves your point [response #89]
5. A questions comes what exactly is wrong with the tree top and how does that prove that the vid is not from Syria [response #91]
6. Instead of replying to this simple question you start some smarta$$ lectures which no one cares about [response #92]
7. My repeated question [response #93]
8. More smarta$$ lectures from you [response #94]
9. My repeated question [response #105]
10. Even more smarta$$ lectures from you, not explaining your point, at all… [response #129]
11. The satellite pic proves that there are, indeed, Su-24s in Syria and that the vid was most likely legit [response #163]
12. My repeated question [response #165]
13. Your grasping at straws [responses #182 and #194]

You have not been patient enough.. it was me who was patient, in the first place.. you still haven’t explained your claim from the response #86, were proven wrong in the meantime but instead of admiting that you continue to play a smarta$$.. you can do that with your kids, I don’t mind, but it’s adults you’re dealing with on this forum.. so act like one..

You could have spare yourself and all of us a lot of time by opening the image in a image editor and counting the respective pixels of the leaf (choose the one you like) and the span of one of the fencer. Then by applying the formula and making some simple hypothesis you would have get the distance (invariant relatively to the magnification).

I am not going to do that for you. I have neither the time or the willingness to put down that on a paper , scan and edit it when a little bit of effort would have gotten yourself there faster.

Now we gonna end that conversation for the sake of all. I like you as a poster, you are feeding the forum with plenty of interesting info but sometime you are really hard to get with. Forget me and let’s move on. Thanks in advance.

Source: Egypt buys 50 Russian Alligator helicopters, deck-based version may be supplied

I fail to see a planed strategy in it. So they will buy the Alligator (finally a well chosen name for the theater) and then, not one but two Mistrals with nothing else that those aircraft to operate from.. No SAR, no replenishing helo, no maritime or air surveillance vectors, nothing?

I fear the worst. So far there is no planed cohesion, no such budget, no experience of operating such complex system. Do they even have the smaller landing craft etc ?

It looks very much like a pavillon of complaisance and another dark episode in the Mistral saga.

It would be more logical to say that with the constant stream of BS flowing, some got pi**ed of and are willing to level the balance.
Controlling that it goes out in an orderly fashion is more a professional attitude than anything else .

You might need some rest MSphere to see the evil here.

So, once again, what was this stunt all about?

Being stubborn doesn’t give you any relief my dear MSphere.

Let’s move on, will you?
