Recently was reading about the speed of the delivery of these weapons. Phenomenal. Surprised anything could catch them. Isn't that their point?

Russia seems to be going into a different phase by consolidating on the eastern provinces. This could be the start of establishing a negotiating position.

Not sure that we can. There's discussions around parking a T45 up as the long range version of Sea Viper coukd be used.

Just hope we never have to try it. It would be quite mad of us all.

Hell of an admission considering they originally said they'd be in Kyiv in two days and establish a new (pro Russia) government.

Lets hope he doesn't step things up with type of weapons and true level of force at his disposal.

He probably was not expecting the level of resistance, as they were saying on one of the news channels yesterday any civilian who wants one can have a gun and is shooting Russians from there homes. That with the logistic problems, desertions and not having air superiority they have screwed up.

It will be interesting to see how Putin tries to save face, Russia is going to have bigger problems with all the sanctions and with little or no exports there economy is going to go down the tubes. The next problem will be all those aircraft they have stole from the lease companies, they wont be able to fly them outside Russia ( if they are ever aloud to again) with no certification and spares.

Sanctions? We could make a decent mark on this aspect by looking at our Chancellor's wife's business connections. With, it is suggested, connections to a firm that is still operating in Russia, the lady has apparently recently received millions of pounds in dividends from her stake in the company. No wonder he's always smiling.
