⚡In the event of a conflict with Russia, Estonia will be able to hold out for a maximum of two weeks - Commander of the 2nd Brigade Mati Tikerpuu in an interview with Spanish El Pais

The Estonian army has 4,500 soldiers and about 40,000 reservists. Also, despite defense spending exceeding 3.5% of GDP, the country does not have a single tank or aircraft.

The total population is 1.3 million, which is comparable to the number of Russian soldiers."
That local government will not even last one week not to mention two weeks.

This page has elevated more than it's fair share of morons, you have no clue about how air superiority wars are fought, you see a banner no context you just jump on it and say nonsense. Watch and learn.

Ukraine has limited number of F-16's less than 100 closer to 85 it would not risk them except in the rarest situations, aircrafts are scarce, trained pilots even more so. If Ukraine tries to bomb targets in Russia it places those aircrafts within the range of Russian air defense, the S-300 is quite good at shooting down F-16's which is why Israel shelled for F-35 lightning when Russia agreed to sell S-300 to Iran.

The F-16 would be used to fire at targets most likely with GBU precision missiles with a range of 100km from inside Ukrainian airspace to Russia's border regions, to take them into Russia proper is suicidal and just plain dumb.

Ukraine also plans to keep only 2 inside Ukraine to shoo MIG's carrying FAB guided bombs also shoot down cruise missiles and shahed kamikaze drones the rest would be kept in Poland and Romania outside the range of Russian cruise missiles.

Stop opining about stuff you have no idea about, Russia has about 140 SU-34's left it is not risking them in Ukraine when it has a fleet of fully serviceable SU-27's , MiG-29 and MiG-31 attack aircraft.


Stop quoting 1970's price for the F-16, an F-16 with enhancements cost up to $63m today the average one will cost at least $37m. I realize no specialized military knowledge is necessary to comment here but damn!!!
The lad you just educated takes pleasure in the numbers of irritating emojis he can display on each post he makes than actually taking the time to digest facts and learn new information. I will advise that you let him be.

I really have nothing to say watching you change the narrative of what happen just two years ago.. Not that we were even told the story, it happen when we're grown and kicking yet you're saying another thing.. grin

I know you also believe Ukraine evacuate their troop from Mariupol to Russia controlled area?. cheesy What am I even saying, some peeps argue this with us then.. 😂

What a shame!

The thing is, with the exception to manpower, and some strategic weapons like the space communication Satellite that was destroyed some days ago in crimea, every armament used in this campaign by russia that was destroyed or damaged has been 90% replaced or restored. This include tanks, artillery pieces, riffles, munitions etc.
In some aspect, russia is increasing their inventory.
Theres a reason russia has out-manufactured the west and over 3.5 million people are running the military industrial complex for 24hours every single day , with about 520,000 new jobs created for the SMO.

Russia is in for the long run.

The US before now said it sometime ago that Russia is preparing for the haul. And here we are. This war is not ending soon. I'm afraid it might lead to something more sinister.

⚡Romania will have the largest NATO airbase in Europe.

Construction has started on the $2.7 billion project to expand the Mihail Kogălniceanu Airbase, which is strategically located near the Black Sea.

Up to 10 000 NATO soldiers and their families will be able to live here.
A potential target for tactical nukes if push comes to shoves.

And guess what?


Nearly all of the completely destroyed or slightly damaged ships have been repaired or replaced.

With more ships and aircrafts being commissioned every week.

Older tanks are moved to the front lines, while newly made tanks are sent to storage sites to replace the old ones already taken.


German Chancellor Scholz, a few months ago said that Russia had since stopped producing tanks that would be sent to the front, they have been filling up their storage sites for over a year now.
Exactly.

And many of the said ships or boats were not even destroyed as they want us to believe. Most were damages and are ready back in service.

70% of russia's black sea fleet destroyed?
If i request for factual data on the numbers of destroyed and damaged surface and underwater ships in the black sea fleet, you'll start jumping from this topic to another running helter skelter.

Stop using your emotions as an earmark for a fact-based discourse, you're not talking to fools.

Tell me how 70% of the black sea fleet was destroyed, infact give me link to where you read this misinformation from.

I shook my head when I saw that post and realized that all these while, we have been indulging in discussions with an emotionally brainwashed sentimentalist.

Pentagon briefing to Congress not quite long stated that just 10 percent of Russia's military capabilities have been used and damaged or destroyed in the ongoing Ukrainian war, and that the rest are untouched. Here we have a guy who says 70% of Russia's black sea fleet has been destroyed.

I just readded him to the SIO list for good. I have my sanity to protect. cool

French Armed Forces will not take part in hostilities in Ukraine in the near future - Macron

“I don’t think that war will come to our territory, I want to reassure you. We also will not participate in hostilities on Ukrainian territory tomorrow, I want to assure you of this,” the French leader said.

Hypothetical is what we all do factually Friend cheesy

The USA Carrier have yet to come across that kind of threat none that this defence system have engaged such threat on land or at the sea. So yours and his summation are all hypothetical....base theory... grin



The USA carrier that was supposedly hit by Houthi had all this system in place...even though no real time proof that this Mighty Carrier was hit...the USA providing an old video as a counter leaves room for suspicion for us all. We can go all and allover again with this to no end. grin
Logically, the old video they put out gave them away that they're hiding something.

the problem is how will drones be able to swamp a USA carrier, without them being intercept in transit.

which drones is stealthy,.?😂😂😂😂😂
even advance USA drones can be well spotted on radars talk less of cheap Chinese or Iranian drones

even stealthy fighter jets with their body frame and speed, when their weapons bay are open to release bombs they lose their stealthiness, and can be spotted on radars.

we are not in a stone age, there is no way a group of drones will surprise a USA navy carrier group,, IT IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE.
Are there drones designed to be stealthy or not?

My conversation with them will soon come to a halt.

I can't afford to loss brain cells because of them.

It's frustrating and baffling how some of them don't accept their errors, learn new facts and move on. They always have something irrelevant, incorrect or off topic to say. This is why most of the time I just chose to read comments without replying. I don't even read some comments anymore because is of no use reading when you know it would be fruitless to reply them.
