The music is evocative. This has to be one of the first times Ukrainian pilots have flown donated fighters directly home. MiG's Armenian and Ukrainian founders Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich would be proud.4 slovak MiG-29 flown to Ukrainia

The Fulcrums are the first of 13 promised by Slovakia to Ukraine, which is in dire need of combat jets to battle Russia.www.thedrive.com

Agreed. British Scimitars with 30mm RARDEN was defeating Iraqi T55's and Type59s back in Desert Storm.That bushmaster can ratfuck a T-55 quicker than they care to think ...
We haven't hears much about the Gepards recently. Has the ammunition supply issue been addressed? In a SHTF moment I imagine a Gepard would kill a squad of T-55s.

If I was India I'd take this opportunity to cancel any orders for Russian arms. The post-Russo-Ukraine War era will clearly head towards a West vs. China scenario. If it wants friends to counter China, India needs to get closer to the West, not a failed state like Russia.Russia can't meet India arms deliveries due to Ukraine war, Indian Air Force says | CNN

The school had already called the police before the father contacted the town councillor. The father was looking for advice because he was already being investigated.
This is yet another example of the parallels between Putin's Russia and Nazi Germany. In the latter, children were encouraged to report their parents for any anti-party activities, whether it was telling jokes about Nazi leadership, abusing rationing, or any other item on a long list of so-called crimes that, in more open, free societies, are just routine.

a) Now about those delivery dates for the aircraft Iran has just ordered
b) Thinking of the T55 tanks and BTR50 APC's. Do you think that if Putin asks nicely, Hannibal may have an elephant or two to lend hiim
