Help me with some London trip ideas please gents.
Born Hunter replied to Jonjon79's topic in General Talk
How amazing is the NHM? I need to get down there soon for another look around and hopefully go to the British museum to see all our national loot! -
This is genuinely very interesting. It’s giving the west/nato tons of intelligence on real Russian military capability. To beat western air defence systems they would have to launch dozens of missiles at each one to guarantee a kill. If the claims are true then Putin will have just shown the limits of what he could achieve. Which are underwhelming. Time will tell.

But do you have any sources? I couldn’t find anything. The problem I have with the Russian claim is that Estonia is pretty much as close to Moscow as Ukraine. But I believe that it was still a concern to them, just not really a major one.
-
Do you have any sources for this claim? Shooting down ballistic missiles isn’t that easy, lol. And in any case the primary weapon in the triad these days are subs. Their concern is the covert forward deployment of TLAMs in the Mk41 batteries. Really emanating from the US withdrawal from the INF treaty. “We are extremely concerned about the deployment of elements of the US global missile defense system near Russia. The Mk 41 launchers located in Romania and planned for deployment in Poland have been adapted to the use of the Tomahawk strike systems. If this infrastructure moves on,

Big feet, small hands.

He has a special deal with an agency. Like those deals where you get a different car whenever you want, chop and change weekly for different occasions. The deviant!
-
Just to be clear, do you actually believe that Russia has invaded Ukraine? Or aren’t you sure because of a lack of, what would be in your opinion, irrefutable evidence? Genuine question, nothing insinuated.
-
Thinking about it, I bet those fame hunter types will be all over this. The kudos of taking on the Russians can not be matched and rarely in offer! Talking about mercs/PMCs, and for all the ‘alternative news’ lot, you seen Simon Mann has re-established Executive Outcomes…
-
I was thinking similar but it’s a bit of a different game going to join the peshmerga to fight 30k fanatical Arabs in hiluxs vs facing the might of a resurgent Russia! Still sure some might go. Dunno if they’d be described as ‘boring’ but ex servicemen who just can’t stay away from war go. I’m not convinced they’re wired up right even though some of them have worked in some of the more elite professional units. I wonder if half of it is image for them.

The Russian side say they captured eighty odd Ukrainians who have agreed to give up and will be released. Ukraine claims 13 of theirs were killed. I believe the Ukrainian forces are overstating their victories but I also believe that this is totally inline with Russian RoEs.
-
I think that’s the unfortunate practical reality.

Iraq wasn't nato

And how many civilians are estimated to have died as a result of Afghan?
-
Yeah I’m sure the Irish lads are in full support of a smaller country being invaded by their bigger neighbour… really? Its possible to be against the uk and Russia on this, lol. They’re not mutually exclusive.
-
You realise that not all western operations are nato operations right? No of course you don’t.
-
Another one of natures rules, in every group of men there needs to be one side, the other side, and a dog fox.
-
Ah I see you have de-escalated the desperation with only three laughy faces this time and no ‘head wrecked’. Lol Putin would consider you weak comrade!
-
Russia, the largest sovereign land mass on earth, needs Ukraine for safety…
-
You know we all know the more laughy faces you put the more we know you’re desperately trying to get under someone’s skin? Heads wrecked, lol. Just like I was a toff, lol.
-
That’s really not being fair at all but Putin will give you a pat on the back if he ever makes it this far. You’re safe mate.
-
I think you are using occurrences of wrongs to justify wrong as the new normal. Life isn’t black and white. If one country carries out an illegal invasion and killed innocents that doesn’t justify it as acceptable and standard in the future. Accepting the lowest standards that have been deployed just deteriorates the world to ever lower levels. Well never stop wrongs but we don’t have to accept them as the new normal.

‘England’ you’ve got real issues understanding the difference between countries and unions don’t you…

Again in English?

13 border guards on an island outpost facing Russian warships. Refuse to surrender so the warship flattens this tiny force with naval gunfire. Even the argies played fairer than that! Merchant ships being attacked in the Black Sea. Like I said, what rules the world tried to play by, are just going out the window completely.

Everyone remember the videos of chally tanks flattening grannies for fun when they rolled into Basra?
