These videos are so, so bad. So bad I can’t watch them to the end. I hope Putin sends some FSB types to visit the makers of these videos and ruins their day as much as they have ruined mine.

Just a quick thanks to Tango III for making this news thread so useful and for keeping me coming back again and again to this forum!!

Thanks Tango III

let them go and buy their wares from Russia. The U.S. would be best to keep its annual 1.5B in aid.

The article says:

Egypt is considering spending up to $4 billion on advanced weaponry from Russia […] a Palestinian online newspaper said Thursday.

I’m considering not holding my breath for this…

Hi Ink,
The annual report from Sokol (2012) has a few details about the syrian order, especially the comments under the article seems to indicate most of the work on the syrian MiG-29M2 (or rather, work on the subasemblies) is done or in advanced stages for most of the first 12 aircraft (not clear if the syrian contract was for 12 or 24).

It has been widely rumoured that the airframes destined for Serbia will come from those originally intended for the now cancelled Syrian order – I just wondered whether the fact that these MiGs had “found a home” would affect RuAF procurement. Somehow that seems a little bizarre… though, now that I think of it, not too out of keeping with the established RuAF tendency* to take up failed foreign orders (see: Algeria’s SMTs).

* admittedly a bit rich calling it a tendency, but there you go.

Reports in the Guardian suggest the 18 sailors could still be alive but trapped in the semi-submerged sub.

18 trapped after Indian submarine explodes and sinks in Mumbai

this is the ONLY “in flight” COLOR pic I could find of an Albanese jet !! but of a really poor quality

I honestly thought I would prove you wrong with a quick google images search in Albanian but it seems colour images of flying Albanian Air Force jets are few and far between. I guess they didn’t go in for military aviation photography much in the People’s Republic and I doubt the jets saw much air time after 1992.

Btw, has those Slovenians got their RVV-AE’s yet? 😉 No? Didnt think so…

Slovakians, surely?

If true, then that is just crazy.

Mi-35M’s, T-90’s, Msta-S’, Neva, BMP-3M’s, TOS-1A’s are just some latest buys.

Not fun reading if you’re from Armenia.
