edit : Oops, you was faster than me Gerard…
Looks like it’s legitimate! Neat!
a new aircraft for Romania together with a new roundel, a low visibility roundel
Not at all sure, but might this be Photoshopped? Just asking.
Err…where have you been Gkozak?
Have you been living in a cave because you seemed to have missed the taped telephone conversation between Victoria Nuland, (deep) State Department, and the US Ambassador to the Ukraine in which she was caught, red handed, hand picking the Ukrainian government!
Nuland seemed more embarrassed that the Russians had managed to tape her indiscretions, including famously saying “fcuk the EU”! 😀 than she was by her interfering with the internal affairs of a sovereign country as she discussed who should be in the government after getting rid of Yanukovych (just as corrupt as the present lot but was elected to office)
Here’s the actual conversation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QxZ8t3V_bk
and the full story, with transcript of the call is on the BBC website http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-26079957
What was she and John McCain (Him again! Wasn’t he also photographed glad-handing the “moderate” terrorists in Syria (by “moderate” we mean Al Nusra, part of Al Qaeda who did 9/11) including the terrorist that was videoed eating a Syrian government soldier’s still-beating heart and still*warm liver?) doing joining the demonstration in Maidan Square? It’s like if Russian foreign minister Lavrov joined protesters outside Congress, it would be a totally unacceptable interfering in another country’s affairs just like Nuland and McCain did…..also shots were fired both at police and demonstrators by agent provocateurs …same thing happened in 2011 in Syria when shots were fired both at police and demonstrators…sounds familiar? 😉
One can skew the purported “facts” in any manner to support their views and opinions. But essentially that means that one is confusing the facts with their opinions. You are clearly doing this. As Mark Twain said, “There are lies, there are damned lies, and there are statistics.” You claim to present objective facts, but, as with statistics, you ignore the basic, objective facts and myopically look for half-truths, or confuse your opinions with facts in order to attempt to validate your claims. Again, how do you expect anybody to believe your rhetoric when this is the case?
Yeah, the US would never interfere in other governments political processes, that is INSANE!
:stupid:
The United States is as culpable as any other nation of interfering in other countries’ business- maybe even more so. But if you rationally examine the facts of this situation, and the reptilian despot behind it all, you have to be criminally insane to come to such a conclusion.
Russia shouldn’t admit anything at all ever. The USA get off with so blatant lies constantly and nobody seems to give a rat’s ****. However if Russia officially stated anything of anykind, all the western media would be all over it in the blink of an eye.

Facts are facts, man. You can have your own opinions, stupid as they may at times be, but you can’t have your own facts. You know why Putin wants Trump to be elected? Because Trump is a psycho, just like he is. Consider the source of all of the mess in Ukraine, and think twice about trying to justify or rationalize it. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In news that will surprise only the Putin-bots, Dutch investigators have concluded that the missile that downed MH-17 was fired from within rebel controlled territory.
Cue the trolls…
Russian rebels? Who knew? This just doesn’t sound like something they would do. Their mob boss Putin must be terribly disappointed in them.
That is actually a really fantastic looking aircraft! Kind of like a SAAB Drakken on steroids. Pakistani markings, I presume.
Fantastic North Korea images! That MD-500 sure looks weird in North Korean markings- more like something from a movie than real-life!
Thank you for the quick reply, yes the camouflage one DDR-SBE looks like the one, must get my eyes tested the 586 must have been SB? thanks for your help.
Looks like they were in fact wearing the DDR flag on their rudders, instead of the LSK diamond insignia.
More Bahamas:
Outstanding!
Wessex allegedly operating for Royal Bahamas Defence Force.. Any guesses?
Looks remarkably similar to 9G-AEL overhauled for Ghana govt.

Very nice Archangelski.
Year and type anyone??
Short Type 184, I believe. Should be around 1914 to early 1915.
