  1. That headline is BS, unsubscribed

  2. Do realize how much money it costs to repair a fighter like that? I guarantee he did not intend to damage his craft.

  3. 100% YES, they are doing Russia and China's work for them.

  4.  @SaxeLAD  In the UK virtually ALL the MP's of note were born into some wealth, the only one I know of that knows what it is like to actually work is Badenoch who despite well off parents they made her work at McDonalds cleaning toilets to pay her own way.

  5.  @manedwolfwithagmailaccount1478  They are examples to all of us around the world on how we should behave and what we should value

  6. Interesting thing is it was attacked from the North from the Sea of Azov which Russia 100% controls now, meaning these water borne drones were launched by either Ukrainian Special Forces or Partisans WAY behind Russian lines.

  7. Ukraine unlike Russia has been unseasonably warm, if not for that Russia probably already would have launched a offensive over the frozen ground, all it would take is for a cold snap to happen in Ukraine and an offensive could begin by Russia and Ukraine will be without those tanks. Spain and others wanted to donate Leopard tanks months ago and Germany stopped them, any Ukrainian lives lost between now and April are on Germany's head.

  8. It would be great if the UK actually had a conservative political party. I sure wish Kemi Badenoch had been allowed to go before party voters.

  9. Russian trolls are eating this up

  10. Compared to the anti Brexit, pro Covid restriction globalist Gove, Boris is immensely popular

  11. Give Ukraine 200 top of the line Western jet fighters like Eurofighters, Gripen's, Rafales, F-16, F-18 etc and arrange for a couple hundred retired pilots that wish to volunteer. The Polish Air Force in 1921 that helped fend off the Soviet invasion was almost entirely American volunteers.

  12. US after training a couple Ukrainian pilots determined they were ahead of where they anticipated and it would only take about 4 months to train the pilots and the Danes, Dutch and Belgians who are going to provide the mothballed F-16's and upgrade them before delivery say it will take them about 6 months to deliver all 45 planes. Australia also has a couple dozen F-18's in storage they indicated they may provide Ukraine.

  13. Is he related to Ian Fleming? Same last name, Sir Jeremy's middle name is also Ian, Jeremy is in the spy business as was Ian before he wrote the James Bond novels. I do realize exposing Sir Jeremy's family associations could be dangerous to them so saying Ian Fleming's family is his family could be dangerous to them.

  14. What was Ukraine thinking dumping cheap grain on their closest ally
    6
  15. I would slightly disagree, I believe Russia also has clear military goals in the Moldova/Transnistria area, it is not just a distraction.

  16. It is a beautiful city

  17. Western leaders need to quit channeling Neville Chamberlain and stand up to Putin

  18. To clarify these were L-39 Albatross trainers that were being flown on this training mission, the rumor is "Juice" was preparing to go to F-16 training.

  19. Russia will not do that, its pie in the sky to expect that

  20. Go away Ivan troll

  21. There was a Greek city there for the last 2500 years, pick up a history book

  22. Pretty much and this has been going on for the last 500 years for Russia's neighbors.

  23.  @HarrySmith-hr2iv  Cowardice encourages tyrants

  24. The US, along with Poland, Bulgaria and Slovakia's decision not give those Mig-29's and Su-25's to Ukraine is disgusting cowardice, bowing to Putin's threats, it is costing thousands of lives, the decision is like Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler.

  25. @Looser Odessa has taken no damage, it is never too late

  26. NATO has said the same thing about Ukraine must transition to NATO standard weapons systems, the Soviet era stocks of equipment are running dry and Ukrainian military industry cannot match Russian production of modernized Soviet era equipment.
    5
  27. True to an extent, however modern fighter jets like upgraded F-18, F-16, Gripen, Su-35 etc can launch pinpoint attacks from extreme distances. This is a capability Ukraine completely lacks and Russia has albeit limited.
    5
  28. No one has given to Ukraine as much as Poland's current Conservative government on a per person basis, even Ukrainians mostly agree the Ukrainian government was hurting Polish farmers by dumping cheap grain. Tusk previously was all for importing Russian gas, he was a Polish Merkel.

  29. We are talking LATE Spring like May when the rain stops and it dries out, early Spring is both Spring rains and the Winter thaw. There will be no offensives in Early Spring. Do not discount a mid or late Winter offensive because the ground will be frozen solid everywhere North of the coast. Last year Russia was forced into a very late Winter attack because China asked them to wait until after their Winter Olympics were over, this turned bad for Russia when they were then faced with a very early Spring thaw and rains that turned everything into a mud pit other than paved roads.

  30. Yes exactly like Hitler played everyone, cowards are easy to manipulate

  31. They are hardly "garbage", they are superior to the old Mig-29's and Su-27's Ukraine has and the F-16's can be easily upgraded with new radars and weapons systems. The Netherlands and Denmark were going to buy F-35's anyway and either mothball or sell these F-16's, the most talked about possible buyer of them was pro China Argentina, other than the Biden Administration and maybe Trudeau I do not think anyone in NATO wanted Argentina to get them.

  32. Leopard is FAR easier to maintain that the Abrams.

  33. Mariupol was almost 20% Greek, it was the heart of the old Greek Black Sea regions population that has existed for thousands of years, until the Russian's came in 2022

  34. They are not in large numbers, the 300 he cited is wrong, that includes ancient old Leopard 1 tanks and old Russian T-72 tanks from Poland, the last number I saw on modern Western tanks was 153 and that included the 31 Abrams that have yet to arrive.
    3
  35. First off because both those tanks exist in the 200-250 numbers while Leopard exists in numbers over 2000 just in Europe, people can afford to give some up. France has mentioned giving up a few but they have less than 250 LeClercs so we are talking 14 at most, Italy only has 200 Ariente total, they really cannot afford to give up any. After three decades of defense budget cuts almost no one but the US and Poland have more than bare minimums in equipment.

  36. Absolutely

  37. Night vision is a rare thing in the Russian military, only special forces have it usually, they were just starting last year to roll it out to some regular units but not expensive NV mounted binoculars but instead little flip to the side NV scopes mounted behind a reflex sight, probably Gen1+ tech? Lack of NV capability by Russia against Georgia really hurt them in that war because many Georgian units had NV capability, not all but quite a few, same today with Ukrainian Regular forces and large shipments of NV equipment and thermal were coming in both from other countries military's as well as corporate donations like from ATN so Ukraine has a real advantage in night operations thus these successful raids by Marines and Special Forces from Ukraine.

  38. One US Veteran Military Intel Officer who went on to work at a certain agency said Prigozhin got most of what he wanted and so he withdrew, he claimed Shoigu and Gerasimov have lost their power and will be removed, "retired" soon, and replaced by people Prigozhin trusts, the only reason they are not immediately being removed is so the Kremlin can save face, the former Intel Officer called it "a successful coup, but on an installment plan". This scenario is what most independent sources in Russia are also reporting, they say a close Putin friend, the Governor of Tula region will replace Shoigu. People need to realize Wagner was on the outskirts of Moscow with almost no opposition from the army, only a little opposition from the Air Force which they took care of, there was nothing stopping them from taking Moscow, the VIP's including Putin had already fled. Lukashenko and the Governor of the Tula region cut this deal between Putin, the FSB and Wagner.

  39. NATO has a combined 91 Mig-29's and Su-25's including 14 Su-25's and 77 Mig-29's which includes the 21 Mig-29's the US owns, send them all along with most advanced air defense systems and tanks like Leopard 2's and Abrams, just send volunteer or paid corporate trainers.

  40.  @kierano8390  Your military is dwarfed by countries with half your population, the only thing the UK has that is impressive is two carriers and a handful of nuclear subs, without that Poland could kick the UK around

  41. I would not trust Jeremy Hunt to handle a 7-11

  42. FYI the balloon after hovering over the majority of US nuclear ICBM silos in Montana then went down and hovered over Missouri AF base where the US keeps most of its modern nuclear bombers.

  44. US has repeatedly not wanted to escalate and the only result of that has been the war going on longer and more people dying, if they went all in with a hundred+ tanks and jets, ATACMS etc right off the bat the war could have ended with the late Fall counter offensive last year.

  45. The Anti Putin Russian forces just invaded again in another area 15km deep towards a major dam and taking a town, more Russian reserves are moving to the area from Donbass area which is exactly what Ukraine wants.

  46. Ukrainians are losing ground around Bakhmut measured in meters while the Ukrainians are gaining ground around Kherson measured in kilometers.

  47. People are sick of the traditional parties not keeping their promises, message to Conservatives ACT like Conservatives rather than woke Labour light

  48. I can see several asking Rees-Mogg to join since he is one of the few actual conservative MP's in the so called Conservative Party, although his credentials have certainly slipped lately.

  49. Dictators like Putin and Erdogan need to be eliminated.

  50. Russia needs to be brutally punished for this
