Putin's plan relies on this too, knowing that he can wait out the British and Americans until their taxpayers and politicians tire or become distracted.

I saw the Chakri Naruebet up close! "Farongs" weren't allowed to board it. Telling them I had been promoted to "Saparot" didn't help. The OHP class frigate was far more welcoming and homey anyway.
I believe ol' 911 doesn't really work.

This would be a much better fit for Ukraine's asymmetric strategy.

Agreed. Interestingly, outside of Narcos I can't see any midget subs currently in service that the UNF could borrow.
This one could do the job, but not yet/ever in production.

BTW I never meant to say that Ukraine needs an amphib. I wanted the CV/LHA thing cleared up. I think Jagdflieger is right. No helos back then, kill everyone and let the lawyers sort it out.

Continantals have more the enough of holy signed papers, contracts, cross my heart hope to die pledges, to wallpaper a medium sized castle, that in the end was not worth the paper it was written on. And that was only the 15th century. So no. Unless committed with boots and iron right there, it is just tv talk. Boris is very much a politician, funny at times but not to be trusted with the morning tea. Or a party in corona time.Yeppers... the Continentals know not to rely of the vagaries of British politics for their protection.

Ah yes the u-kebap boat. Yes they wont notice it. Will try to sprinkle it with a bit of salt and vinegar but only when it is on a plate.

Does trucking submarines overland violate the Montreaux Convention?
Mystery behind of this is GLONASS system coverage - probably Syria is black hole for this system this is why they have used curtesy of Uncle Sam and full availability of the GPS. Anyway used receivers are not working too well on fast jets....

A couple of observations:
1. Continentals should look after their own bluddy protection and not rely on the UK, US or anyone else.
2. These agreements are not the UK guaranteeing Swedish or Finnish security. They are mutually-supportive agreements whereby all parties agree to support each other if ANY of the signatories is attacked.
3. It seems pretty clear that Putin doesn't like the idea of Sweden and Finland joining NATO...which opens up the possibility that he might do something stupid before either nation joins NATO. Ergo, SOMEBODY needs to do SOMETHING to help dissuade him from that course of action.
4. Entirely agree what we saw today was a bit of political theatre but...
5. What, exactly, have any other nations--including the US, Canada and other European Allies--done to help enhance Finnish and Swedish security in the run up to them potentially joining NATO? AFAIK, nothing.
So...feel free to mock the Brits and please do keep bringing up their many mistakes over the centuries. However, right now they're out there, punching above their weight, in an attempt to contain further Russian aggression and build better, stronger defensive alliances. Maybe we should be applauding instead of criticizing.
really? at least 5 vehicles destroyed with single artillery action including hit of the BMP running at full speed around 2.55 timestamp - but of course you may be correct - it is fake for sure or could be you are going personally do it better next time.... just to prove your stance
My point, as has been made out before but frustratingly seems to be forgotten all too often, is that videos posted without full context can be easily be misleading. There is a lot of propaganda going on here - and this video definitely falls into that class. To post such a video along with the comment "probably one of the finest artillery units in the world in action" and without any justification other than the video itself is arguably hyperbolic at best.

Skepticism for claims from both sides is warranted, as both sides have a vested interest in affecting wider public opinion. This is why I look to (relatively) unbiased courses which cite their own sources as being confirmed.
