Anybody knows which VMF ship arrived to Corfu, Greece, this weekend?

I’ve been here for a couple of days, but didn’t have time to approach the ship and see it’s name. Anyway, they had naval band and choir performing at Liston tonight alongside the Russian Marines.

It’s an amphibious ship and don’t know which class (Alligator, Ropucha, Ivan Rogov)… wasn’t able to distinguish from distance.

It should be the Caesar Kunikov (BDK-64)…

Not sure if this has been confirmed but would be quite a development if true…

For example ?

for example, the maximum range of A-A missiles is reduced on export models

Re: Mig-29 vs F-16 discussion…looks like some Indian “experts” here don’t even know their own history.

Pakistani F-16A did not (refused to) engage Indian Mig-29A during the 1999 conflict. I wonder why?…. considering they were of the same generation.

Too much delusional propaganda transfered from the BR forum on this thread….spoiling the discussion.

It’s got inertial + active radar guidance
