Hell of a time to be alive

MAD chicken

A lot of the ‘big’ multi piece strategic moves the Russians make fail, not just air superiority. Amphib landings, large armoured manoeuvres, air ops. They are just not capable of ‘big’ moves like NATO forces are. I’d argue if they had those capabilities then they’d have had Zelensky in Kiev and been holidaying in Crimea for summer. They seem to be little more than a mass (big mass) of second rate marauders with nukes. Which honestly shocks me.

He could have annihilated Ukraine, but I don't believe for a minute he could gain control of it. That has been the biggest shock of the whole thing. The Russian war machine has proven it doesn't have the logistics to support that. To this day they have failed to gain air superiority, never mind supremacy, in a war on their doorstep. When Western powers have shown that capability time and again on battlefields in different hemispheres to their sovereign territory.

Brexit. Success? Too early to judge? Disaster?
Born Hunter replied to jukel123's topic in General Talk
A bit of food insecurity would probably do a world of good for long term political sense. In answer to the original question, no I don't think Brexit has been a success at this point. We shed a layer of politicians to give us a more democratic structure but allowed that structure to go totally rotten. Brexit was a step in the right direction by restructuring our democracy, but we filled the positions with the most incompetent people we could find, it seems. If we fail to put the right people in place then the restructuring will have been an act of pure self harm and therefore lo -
Just read a bit on Wiki about it.

This happened two years ago!

It's like 4 quid at a drive in automatic washer thing. They say not to put a truck through but they fit. f**k paying them 15 quid to do it. Never have to this day. I usually wash it myself.
-
One month ago I noticed the same. Something very striking about it isn't there. Look through a half decent pair of binoculars and you'll see three or four of Jupiter's Galilean moons.
-
Certainly wasn't intended as that from me. I just wanted to say that fishing is inconsequential in this fight. They're an untapped political resource but will remain so.
-
It's kind of an "all elephants are grey but not all grey things are elephants" situation. I accept that most hunting and shooting folks either fish or are on board with it but I don't accept that the inverse is true, not these days anyway. I don't want fishing to be punished for it's lack of support, but I don't believe 'they' are allies.
-
I don't know how I've cut my nose off to spite anything mate. Nothing the fishing community do will benefit hunting or shooting because they keep their distance from us. And any initiatives they are using to promote themselves are already being used by hunting and shooting.
-
What percentage of people who fish (on the whole) would you say hunt or shoot game/vermin?
-
99% of those that only fish would not ally themselves to the hunting and shooting world. Plenty of us that hunt and shoot will also fish but we're the minority in the fishing world. They don't want to be tarred with that brush. My point is, what the fishing mob are doing is of no benefit to us. IMO
-
The angling community are no allies to hunting and shooting.

Did the sab not jump into his path? If the sabs hadn’t of moved no one would’ve been hurt.
-
Sam's a good lad. That's his first huntsman's job. Not really looked into the details of this but before things descend into a character assassination I just wanted to speak for his. The Cottesmore are absolutely hounded by the sabs.

IMO supplying combat jets would be an escalation but not strictly the difference between being at war proper or not. The interesting thing about the Ukraine invasion is that neither side is fighting with air superiority. Ground forces are largely being defended from air threats by ground based air defences. The basic Russian manoeuvre unit seems to be the Battalion Tactical Group which has an integral air defence support unit. They failed to gain air superiority and to this day won't even deploy their most advanced "stealth" jets over Ukrainian territory for fear of Ukrainian ground based

Worst shoot in Britain
Born Hunter replied to Squirrel_Basher's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Well done for making a point, I would've too. These absolute f***ing chancing c**ts in the fieldsports world need showing up. I know of a local shoot that couldn't get their birds this year and still ran the syndicate! The brass neck on it! -
It all changed when much of the defence industry was privatised. Governments don't have the monopoly of technology anymore. They're largely just another customer.
-
Is there though... I think the whole 'the technology the army keep top secret is unimaginable' belongs to a very different time. 50 years ago maybe. These days, nah.
-
Probably done the rounds on whatsapp and so had the resolution reduced. Makes it look crappy.
-
The vid is a bad one from a publicity point no doubt but truth is it’s not exactly the behaviour of a renegade pack. I’ve sat a listened to arguments for and against it but fact is what was done is a bad look for hunting.
-
That said, I can’t help but feel if your only strategy for survival is hiding the truth of what you do, then you’re on borrowed time anyway.

Cheers The old guard wouldn’t have tolerated the man behind the camera. Unfortunately these days it’s normal and accepted.
