once again, Soren - the german advance has already been halted after the operation "Uranus" has begun and even at that time Germans had no problems with the winterclothing supplies until early December. And at that time they hadn't any strength for a further advance because of the russian...

there aren't much left of them anyway...

AFAIK the Kremlin stars insignias had nothing to do with the belonging to the guard units but rather sort of individual painting. I saw those insignias even on some I-16s from early war IAPs.

going to visit the Milano Jazz festival in about two weeks for Herb Hancock and George Benson. :D

well Juha, you can't start a big counteroffensive from a big city - there's simply no space to mass armoured and motorised units ,and even infantry units from division and above could be hardly be deployed for a counterattack on urban terrain. In fact, there was no need to capture the city...

The winterclothing was not really a problem for the 6th Army when they had chances to capture the city - until early November. Then it was too late anyway. as Juha said, the lack of the winterclothing was one of the causes of German defeat near Moscow year ago, but not really in Stalingrad. It...

the MiG-23 episode was pretty cool! Good research with a lot of archival data, well done! Pretty unusual for a TV program..

:shock: :shock: I don't get your point at all. 1)what exactely makes you think of Russian sailors as of amateur scullers in this video? 2)so our opinion is based on some amateur videos? You should mention that in your first post already, I wouldn't ask any further questions then. :)...

Those ships, both commisioned in the late 1990ies, are among most modern vessels out there. As for "amateur scullers" Matt, you are certainly aware of the current training in the Russia's Northern Fleet to make such statements, aren't you? hey I don't unconditionally support this move, but...

hate to see an aircraft scrapped.

Ok, here are the serial numbers of all Hurricane IID been delivered to Russia: first delivery on 4th sept 1943: KX165, 173, 294, 296, 298, 7 sept: KX302, 12 sept - KX177, 230, 303, 13 sept - KX299, 21 sept - KX175, 181, 225, 250, 301, 423, 463, 466, 866, 25 okt - KX166. 172...

Hello wh1skea, AFAIK there is no such list existing, only on spec airplane types. For example here is complete list of the P-47 serial numbers which were been delivered to the USSR during the WW2: 11 ZBAP: P-47D-22-RE : 42-25611 and 42-26633 , next delivery: 42-25541, 543-7...

and how did you figure out that?

as far as for flight crews I can't remember any accident in the VVS both Soviet and Russian in its postwar history which happend because of a drunk flight crew. Certainly now and then even among the pilots there have been some cases of drinking while on duty , but it's not THAT dramatically as...

certainly you are! This is an internet forum and finally you are a moderator here. :lol: I still can't get your point Adler or I can't express myself clear enough anymore. Probably my poor English is to blame. :oops: Once again - what does make him a commie according to your opinion...
