If they thought Afghanistan was bad, wait 'til they fight people struggling for life and not death.

Scrolling through the earlier bits of this thread, stumbled across this and thought all reading here should be reminded:
Sonofabitch called it out early, this post is 16 months old. This sort of percipience deserves notice.

Like this sentence (writing about su-34): "this is apparently the first time that we've seen it attacking targets within Russia, at least deliberately."Su-34 low level strike in a border checkpoint during the RDK and the Freedom of Russia Legion raid in Belgorod:

Pun intended ....
Regarding bombing accuracy, I get 2 conclusions.
Russian Pilots have not got too much training, and Russian Air Force have not got too many guided weapons.

Luring one's own countrymen to attack one's own country so more of one's own countrymen can then attack said one's own countrymen in one's own country is certainly a stroke of master strategy by the Master Strategist.Like this sentence (writing about su-34): "this is apparently the first time that we've seen it attacking targets within Russia, at least deliberately."

More good news. And we were led to believe that Spain's Leo2s were neglected hulks.

How many Leopard 2 tanks does Ukraine now possess? Wikipedia claims 130 Leo2 have been delivered, though Wiki often confuses/conflates pledges with deliveries. I like to think this is all a ruse for the media, and that Ukraine secretly has 200+ Leo2s... and has been for the last six months training two squadrons worth of F-16 pilots and fitters to deploy in June.
I'd support Canada sending all our remaining eighty-odd Leo2 tanks. We don't need them. Let's load them onto an auto carrier at Montreal or Halifax and they'll be in Gdansk before the end of June.
Spain says its mothballed German-made tanks in no fit state to send to Ukraine
Spain cannot send its mothballed Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ukraine as they are "in an absolutely deplorable state" and could be a danger to the people firing them, Spanish Defence Minister Margarita Robles said on Tuesday.
Spain to send four more Leopard tanks to Ukraine
Another four Leopard 2 main battle tanks and a batch of M113 armored personnel carriers will soon leave Spain for Ukraine. — Ukrinform.

Err...do you have a reference for that claim? There is also not just a single "Haka"
Speaking of the Haka, I have a friend who had relatives who used it at Gallipoli in 1915. Some reporting here:
