ICTChris Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Interesting comment from the defence secretary about TB2 drones. During the war in Karabakh the drones were heavily publicised as a propaganda tool by Azerbaijan, who out out multiple videos of drone strikes every day. There have been some videos of drone strikes in this war but not as many. It’s been said that Turkey didn’t want their use publicised to keep favour with Russia, but also Russia have tools to counteract TB2s, electronic warfare, guided missile, fighter jets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly too few, none of them ‘powerful’ and none in the MSM. Similarly we turn a blind eye to what they do in their own country to their own citizens. Maybe the move towards renewables in Scotland, including electric transportation, will mean our reliance on energy sources from despotic countries fades away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 1 hour ago, Detournement said: Four British soldiers are apparently AWOL in Ukraine. Genuine idiocy from professional soldiers or a cover story ahead of covert forces getting captured? Not a chance. If there was SF in Ukraine (which there probably is as protection for any UK sis or diplomats), then they’d never acknowledge it or suggest they’d gone awol as a cover. The Russians will expect small numbers of SF teams from various countries in the Ukraine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when we have been providing the weapons used, it's a topic that seems to be best avoided. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 It appears that a "deal" has already been agreed, or if not, pretty close. FTSE back up to 7,100 and DJ has rocketed over 550 on opening. https://uk.advfn.com/stock-market/stock-news/87501333/european-midday-briefing-stocks-rally-as-ukraine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last European country to default was Greece. Going by this list, Argentina absolutely love a default, they seem to have missed more payments than they've made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_debt_crises If they just dingy the letters for 6 years it gets written off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
