My dear bf109xxl...Before you lecture me completely unnecessarily about something I already know perfectly well, try to read carefully what I wrote to you. You are not responding on my objections, but on your fantasies.
At least two of them were detected over the Black Sea in June, indeed. The launch area was close to Sevastopol, where SAM concentration is probably one of the highest in the theatre.Their missiles have ranges of 300 miles or so. I imagine these bombers will be well behind the lines or out over the Black Sea, in either case kept out of range of SAMs.
Those SAAB 340 AEW&C had better be well protected. They'll be priority targets for Russian espionage, drone and air force ops and missile strikes.The recent downing of the Su-35 by a UAF F-16, was coordinated by a Swedish SAAB 340 AEW&C, which was tracking the Flanker and allowed "eyes on" for the AIM-120.
Russia would do well to avoid targeting a Swedish military aircraft, even if "accidental".Those SAAB 340 AEW&C had better be well protected. They'll be priority targets for Russian espionage, drone and air force ops and missile strikes.
Maybe one of those things. In the distant (and brighter) future...Has anyone yet developed a long range air 2 air missile that the Ukrainians can get and use?
AIUI, those SAAB 340 AEW&C aircraft are Ukrainian owned and operated. So, legit targets.Russia would do well to avoid targeting a Swedish military aircraft, even if "accidental".
I knew that Sweden was delivering several units to the UAF, but they and other NATO air forces have been active in monitoring and providing real-time Intel to Ukraine.AIUI, those SAAB 340 AEW&C aircraft are Ukrainian owned and operated. So, legit targets.
Air War Game-Changer: Sweden Set to Deliver Ukraine’s First AEW&C Aircraft
Ukraine’s first airborne early warning and control aircraft to be delivered once Kyiv’s F-16s get Link-16 tactical network mods – allowing the Vipers to engage enemy aircraft before they are targeted.www.kyivpost.com
From NATO or international air space. Any shooting there won't be let by.I knew that Sweden was delivering several units to the UAF, but they and other NATO air forces have been active in monitoring and providing real-time Intel to Ukraine.
Here's a snapshot of NATO activity from the area taken on 11 April 25:
Intense NATO Activity Over the Black Sea
It is not true. You tried to lecture me about the ways Ukrainian surnames can be transformed. I know perfectly HOW Ukrainian surnames can be changed - I do not need this information at all. And I didn't argued with the thesis that Ukrainian surnames could be changed (and WERE changed). I argued only with the thesis that only addition of one letter - namely "-v" ending - can be helpful to fool somebody in the USSR in order to hide the Ukrainian origin. You responded not to my objection, but to what you made up to yourself as my objection.My dear bf109xxl...
1. Nothing in my post should be considered as "lecturing". Or "fantasies".
I only ask you to read CAREFULLY what I write to you BEFORE you answer to avoid unnecessary lectures.2. You are free to object in a way convenient for you.. I'm free to respond in a way that is convenient for me, as long as I don't break the forum's rules and behave.
