    What do you expect from a forum where an idiot and troll pushed out the most valuable contributor to the news section, only because news (or the sources) had not been to his liking.

    This used to be a respected forum with a lot of knowledgeable posters contributing by giving beneficial information.

    I don’t care if I get a ban…

    @FBW

    Very good idea. Let’s hope they read it and act upon it.

    I always considered the KeyPub Forum with its posters as a great source of knowledge, despite inflammatory posts from certain users which tend to destroy all the good work done. But when these guys take the charge without moderators censoring them as a result we often get to lose valuable members.

    And I as well have to add that it’s crazy that Berkut got banned.

    Anybody knows which existing amphibious assault ship platforms (LHD, LHA, LPH…) the F-35B could use?

    I don’t mean here on using a flight deck only, but rather ships’ elevators and hangars.

    I think that I read it somewhere that it had hit power line wires while escorting a convoy.

    @Austin

    Bondarev also said that the hypersonic “Zircon” missiles and the Skif ground-based missiles are part of the arsenal of the Russian Armed Forces.

    This would be huge if true? Are they fielded or what?

    Thanks for the extra information paralay. There is a typo in the bold phrase, is that 14.30 km?

    He wrote “low height” just above the “altitude”, so that should be meters if I am not mistaken.

    Couldn’t care less.
    But you know i didn’t mean the outer wing tip station.. obviously. And it could also be those rocket pods, i can’t see it clearly on my phone.

    That would be it:)

    These 6 birds are a donation and will be modernized alongside 4 Fulcrums which are already in service with the Serbian Air Force for a price of 185 million €.

    It’s still not clear to which standard all of them will be brought up to.

    They are also getting 32 missiles (Vucic didn’t specify the type).

    Just for the record, 3 remaining single seaters are 9.12 and double seater is 9.51.

    One 9.12 is grounded (IIRC used for spare parts). The rest is on the QRA.

    What a mess:(

    And why report only Tony, haavarla? He hasn’t gone more off topic than the others have. And people are doing it constantly here.

    Am I the only one who thinks that the keypub is not being moderated as it had been before? I am saying this as I’ve been following this forum long before I joined. It’s always been “blessed” with a presence of a lot of knowledgeable people from whom I’ve been able to learn something too much.

    P.S.
    And Tony, if it means something to you, you were spot on on what you were writing, but better let’s not get into it anymore :dev2:
