Where you saw it was low threat. That’s why it was sub sonic. The entire flight path of a cruise missile for any given mission is designed to minimise risk before the weapon is even fired.
-
Not for the entire flight time they don't. They often only utilise super sonic speeds in their terminal attack phase to reduce the risk from anti-air defences. Sub-sonic is more fuel efficient when travelling in a low threat environment.

If I was in that crew my arse would be twitching on re entry!

That’s a bold statement… A message to Ukraine? Cosmonauts wear yellow-and-blue flight suits for trip to space station | Space WWW.SPACE.COM Was it a show of support for the besieged nation?

Seen pictures of a working type cocker spaniel that colour. f**k knows where it came from but it'll be a gold mine I reckon.

Treacherous whores spreading the enemies lies!

You must be using a VPN because that site forbidden on my browser...

I f***ing love that the reporters just demoted their guest four ranks! And that is where journalism is at these days...

All the social justice battles merge into one.

Did your man elaborate on why he felt the way he did towards the Ukrainian government? Was it just the lack of preparation or is the feeling they shouldn't have pushed for NATO membership or what?
-
I expect that is edited to just show the bad bits but what is shown sounds totalitarian. I'm fascinated to see how this plays out.
-
It's more of a grey area of free speech, but if you consider that large social media platforms are as much a part of the power structure governing democratic countries as the houses of parliament then there's been considerable effort from these to censor views that do not fit. Traditionalists take the view that these SM companies are private entities and so not subject to free-speech but I think society has evolved and we need to consider that government extends beyond parliament. I'm not sure where I stand on it tbh.

This lad? You’re on the same line of thought as me now. I think full sleeves are the new handle bar moustache. I’m not saying anything for certain, other than I respect Emile's voice. The rest is just speculation. If it was particularly shady then I suspect the photo wouldn't have been taken or an understanding would have been agreed it would not be shared. And the truth is the sort of calibre of soldier pictured below is probably not needed or worth risking for simply training irregulars in Ukraine right now. His skills might be better doing other things...
-
I'd take Emile at his word tbh mate. He's a former Royal Marine himself and has made a career of independent journalism in warzones since. If he says the fella in the picture is former military then I wouldn't doubt it off hand.
-
I wonder how ‘former’ this fella is?
-
Thankyou, and I'm sure that will be well received by stopend too. Certainly an end to the matter. Very unlikely to take issue with it or have much to say in response. But if he did then I'm absolutely sure he'll keep it to himself.

The first I read of Azov Bat was on the BBC! LOL. It was a piece explaining that they are the only significant nazi's that could justify Putin's utter nonsense. The BBC is about as mainstream as it comes. Again, no one has said you can't talk about them. Thanks, I'm now bleeding...
-
Mate, give over ffs, no one is stopping you saying anything about them. You're cracking on like no one knows they are a savage bunch of extreme nationalists with a considerable neo-nazi element. Who's telling you you can't talk about it? Azov....AzoVVVV......V V V! I'll f***ing cut myself if I read azoz again!
-
They might not wait to be asked...
-
From what I've read about the Azov Battalion they seem quite a capable unit. It's what you do with them after the war that is the tricky bit...
-
A member of Starfleet, the space force of a unified Earth with a single supreme global government, part of a galactic federation of planets.... Francie holds his views in high esteem....
-
Not sure if it has already been mentioned on here but this is an interesting development...

Well, by this point in '03 the yanks had taken the capital of Iraq and the entire country would be under occupation a week later. Iraq was better armed and logistically way more challenging than Ukraine. The Russians are shelling Kyiv and civilian centres now, and it's becoming harder to explain those as legitimate military strikes or mistakes, so it really does seem that arguments that Putin is playing soft are incorrect. The Russian military is just not what Joe Bloggs had imagined it to be, or as the USAF recently said, they're a "near-peer competitor".
-
Yeah, Russian ones! I mentioned before. In January the company I work for was asked to tender for a massive job in Ukraine and it was virtually ours given the Russians were banned from operating there.

I like to think that somewhere there is a stealth bomber laden with Novichok waiting for the green light!
