Fighter planes is the last thing you should think about. Far far more important, all in exponents, is how will they deal with the banks and the financial crisis. That’s going to have a direct impact on your future payroll and how you are going to get money to pay off your house and send your kids to school. The geographical distance of Australia to the US means absolutely nothing when money moves at internet speeds.

Welcome to a fan boy forum that wishes for WW3. 😡

Accuracy International AW .308 is my guess.

That would have been my guess too, I didn’t know they used it, seems they do.

I will translate this news feed later.

One thing they say is it will be ready for serial production in TWO years.

This is the AL-41 I am assuming, and next year, the jet will fly with the 117S?

This is unsubstantiated rhetoric at best. Unless you have e-v-i-d-e-n-c-e of spetsnaz and Co in Georgia, you dont have a case. Show photos – then we’ll talk.

😀 LOL, thanks for quoting terrorist propaganda. According to them 58th Army was destroyed along with Roki tunnel. Free advice: NEVER quote Kavkazcenter. Ever.

I dont know if you read Russian or not – but I sure as hell do.

“Заместитель начальника Генштаба Анатолий Ноговицын ранее опроверг информацию о том, что батальоны ГРУ “Восток” и “Запад” переброшены из Чечни в Южную Осетию”

Means that Nogovitsin denied that Zapad were transferred to S.Ossetia. He denied Voskot as well – but we have photos of them in S.O. and Georgia.

Once again – evidence or GTFO.

🙂

I’m not going to bother with more sources, it’s clear at least one unit was there. I didn’t read the second article, so my bad there, I would have assumed any translator / person translating could see that ‘oproverg’ means to deny from the compilation source I used. Yes, I do read Russian. Kavkaz center is pretty hilarious though, I do admit.

You have no evidence they were not there either, so, GTFO yourself. :rolleyes:

http://en.rian.ru/photolents/20080819/116127733.html More vostok/zapad BS. How do you differentiate between the two units in terms of men themselves? It’s clear vostok was there, but zapad could have been. It makes no difference anyway. The VDV and Spetsnas WERE there.

Thanks Rodolfo , they do need Frigates/Destroyers with 7000 – 8000 T to replace the various types of ships in the inventory and move towards a multipurpose ship with standard tonage , electronic and weapon system suite.

Wonder why they dont arm their ships with LACM of KH-555 class or even the newest KH-102 types ?

Most of the surface ships today lack stand off land attack capability ( tomahawk type ) although they do have these types of missile in the Airforce inventory

The Strategic Bomber fleet can hit most positions of interest from Russian soil with the large cruise missiles, Navy-based ones are almost overkill. With the Yasen coming in, the Kh-101 should be in service with the Navy as well.

Well, the polls have hardly be accurate in the past………Personally, I believe its neck and neck right now. With the polls showning the race closing as we speak. Really, I think it shows that Obama has his share of problems with the US Public in General. Because after 8 years of Bush……….any Democrat should be “KILLING” the Republican Candidate. Think about it………just shows the underling current against Obama.

No one expected a 2nd Bush term either, and then look what happened!

Have you seen any photos of Spetsnaz and GRU besides Chechen “Vostok” (that looked and was equipped worse than any 58th Army unit)?

I havent.

🙂

It was clearly reported in Russian news TV channels that the first units that were being deployed, as the event unfolded, were Spetsnaz and VDV divisions that were para-dropped into Tskhinvali.

Vostok/Zapad men were equipped with standard issue AK-74M rifles, – and RPG-7s which I found odd, but it may be that they are most used to the weapon. I wouldn’t want to ever find myself in mountainous terrain against those guys. I wonder how widespread the RPG-29 is currently.

The Messiah® is further left than Jimmy Carter and we all know how it went for the military under him. In a nut-shell the military is f–ked. The only political entity with a lower approval rating than Bush (the Democrat-controlled congress) having the furthest left in the bunch at the helm? Watch them run wild with entitlement programs. My wallet is already feeling thinner. 😡

Yeah, time to wake up to reality and realize you can’t have your government rob other people and sovereign entities of their riches so you can profit. Quite funny how people will automatically hate a government that at least wants to show the foreign community some respect and dignity – something that the US lost completely in the last 8 years.
