THEY STOLE CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS LMAO

or like in ukraine after democratically elected president was removed in a coup

Not, not "like" Ukraine has real elections, not just a sham performative act like Russia.

so theres no civilians in donbas, just russian military?

At least you accept now that Russian military was in Donbass so Russia never had any intention of keeping up the Minsk agreements.

interesting to see these shells in action, they seem to detonate pretty far above the target here:

I do wonder if these are doing patrols with some kind of fighter escort now:

Its a new age:

I did not know this happened, that's what I get for ignoring Russian State TV

when they removed democratically elected president it was nothing but "sham performative act"

thats your bizzare claim...

apparently there were no civilians in donbas just russian military which justified ukraine not respecting the agreement they signed

 

[Rod1]

so you're opinions are based on baseless opinions of other hacks?

Yes, and there was no Bosnian genocide either.

 

[grimballer]

THEY STOLE CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS LMAO

more baseless claims... go on

did that happen before of after heroic exploits of ghosts of kiev?

 

[grimballer]

Yes, and there was no Bosnian genocide either.

another politically motivated decision

countries that violate international law and attack a sovereign nation justify their actions by making claims of "genocide"

no conflict of interest there whatsoever

They're killing their parents and taking the children and pretending it was humanitarian.

Have you become self-aware? I'm confused by this post

im pretty sure RQ4s scan range is pretty massive scanning range. So no need, plus its max cieling is 65,000 FT, Su-35s cant reach that high. Only mig-31s.

It can survey as much as 40,000 square miles (100,000 km2) of terrain per day, an area the size of South Korea or Iceland.

The Global Hawk is operated by the United States Air Force (USAF).

fun fact, these are about to be phased out by something way more advanced that is apparently in large working numbers. Rumor is the RQ-180 may be replacing it, and no one actually seen one of these before.

I remember this post from over a year ago:
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zo...ecret-rq-180-white-bat-spy-drone-in-new-video
heard nothing else about it since tho.
But if they have been operating them for a while, why announce it now

Slovakia has joined Poland in making an official decision to provide Ukraine with Soviet-era MiG-29 Fulcrum fighter jets, the two NATO members becoming the first countries to commit to delivering tactical jets to Kyiv since Russia launched its full-scale invasion. Slovakia ceased flying its MiG-29s last summer and the possibility of transferring these jets to Ukraine had been raised previously, but the earlier plan had collapsed amid U.S. pressure.

“Today, the government decided and unanimously approved an international agreement [on the donation of MiG-29s],” Slovakian Prime Minister Eduard Heger said. “The process of handing over these fighter jets is closely coordinated with the Polish side, with Ukraine and, of course, with other allies,” he added.

That last point indicates that Slovakia is now part of the coalition of countries that Poland suggested should work together to transfer MiG-29s to Ukraine from their respective stocks. A third NATO member, Bulgaria, also has stocks of the Soviet-era jets that could potentially be sent to Ukraine, although so far it’s not understood to have joined the coalition.
Taking to Twitter, Heger confirmed that the Slovakian government has approved the transfer of 13 MiG-29s to Ukraine. When the last Slovakian Fulcrums were retired, it was widely reported that the final fleet comprised around 11 operational jets — a mix of moderately upgraded MiG-29AS single-seaters and MiG-29UBS two-seaters. Currently, there is no delivery timeframe for the Slovakian jets, although unconfirmed reports suggest they could begin to arrive in the next few weeks.

Today’s announcement follows a previous statement from Slovakian Minister of Defense Jaroslav Nad, in which he confirmed that his Polish counterpart had told him at a recent European Union meeting that Warsaw would agree to a joint process to transfer MiG-29s to Ukraine.

Until their withdrawal, Slovakia’s MiG-29s were the country’s primary air defense fighters. Ten of them had been inherited from the former Czechoslovak Air Force when Czechoslovakia split into two sovereign states in December 1992. Subsequently, another 14 MiG-29s were received from Russia in two batches in the mid-1990s. At least three were lost in accidents, while others were put in museums.

These modifications are hardly essential to Ukraine, as a non-NATO member, and simply having additional MiG-29s of any configuration to help make up for the losses it has suffered so far in the fighting will be of enormous value. Indeed, it wouldn’t necessarily be a surprise if some of the NATO-standard avionics were even removed.

There is a question about how long it will take to return the Slovakian MiGs to airworthiness, considering they were withdrawn last August and, in the case of some of them, it seems they will instead be used as a source of spares.

According to Reuters, Slovakia “will send those that are operational, and the rest will go for spare parts” although no breakdown was provided in terms of the numbers of aircraft in each category.

The team of researchers at the influential Oryx blog state that the Slovakian deliveries will comprise 10 upgraded MiG-29AS and UBS jets that will enter operational service, plus three non-upgraded examples that will be used as a source of spare parts.

more migs being sent!

i guess Rockwell and BAE where tinking with some mig29s to make able to carry nato avionitics

 

[GhostZ06]

As well as pledging to hand over the MiGs, Slovakia’s Prime Minister Heger also confirmed that the country would supply Ukraine with a part of its 2K12M2 Kub-M2 air defense system. Known to NATO as the SA-6 Guideline, the Kub has not previously been supplied to Ukraine as part of the post-invasion arms transfers.
The Kub is the predecessor to the Buk-M1 (SA-11 Gadfly) mobile medium-range surface-to-air missile system that is already used by Ukraine (and by Russia). Like the Buk, the Kub makes use of tracked missile launch vehicles, but unlike the later system, these carry three instead of four ready-to-fire missiles, while the fire-control radar is mounted on a separate vehicle.

Last year, Slovakia’s sole S-300PMU (SA-10 Grumble) long-range air defense battery was shipped to Ukraine after NATO gave assurances that it would fill the gap it would leave behind. It remains the only known example of the S-300 donated to Ukraine.

is Gainful still any good?
