Even in a situation where they back off, apologise fully and offer reparations (none of which will happen) I don't see the catastrophic loss of business that has withdrawn so far, going back for a very, very long time indeed. Your multinationals will be back in there in a heartbeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Poland has 27 Mig-29s, Bulgaria has 19 and Sovakia 11. Not a game-changer but they'd put u a good fight if Ukraine has the pilots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazingly enough there are f16s based in Ramstein which happens to be the base that Poland dropped off the Migs 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has happened to Greta T? Can anyone say if Extinction Rebellion (what an appropriate name) are headed for Ukraine to glue themselves to Russian tanks? Besides having a go at climate change campaigners, just because, I’ve absolutely no idea what point you’re making here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I might have had a couple of beers but it's starting to look awfully like the following scene. Although Putin's a tad smaller than Marvin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Will the surplus Migs and Su's going to Ukraine be supplied with spare parts, I can't see uncle Vlad being too keen on supplying parts or will they just harvest a few planes for spares. This could leave the Poles and other countries short of planes until their pilots can convert to F16s or F35s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Weren't Migs the ones the Arab countries used against Israel? They seemed to fall out the sky if you gave them a dirty look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 After losing the likes of Coco-Cola, Netflix, Facebook and Instagram recently, the closure of McDonalds will surely tip ordinary Russians over the edge towards becoming the heathiest and most mentally-stable people on Earth. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
