Ukraine Protests

[Grand Vol]

That helio looks like an Mi-26 transport type.

Mi-17-V5. Not big enough for a 26

Thanks for the clarification Grand, still doesn't look good. Neither does this;

Hagel cuts short DC visit for top US commander in Europe bc of "growing uncertainty in Ukraine" Gen Breedlove was to testify on Hill this wk

Not directly related but while doing some research I discovered this site;

Soviet Armor :: Home

For just $25,000 dollars we could buy a BTR-60 from Ukraine, who want chip in?

Who doesn't want their own BTR? Part of my zombie apocalypse plan!

They changed up the nose on the new production -17s which makes it look more like the -26. Probably what threw you off.

 

[Velo Vol]

Back at the table. Any Ukrainians in the house?

Fits about 20 passengers, we can average that out to $1,470 per person on the condition we get spot on the inside when it happens. :rock:

 

[SergeantVol]

Not sure if this point has been brought up yet. Ukraine is the birthplace of Russia. Russian Kiev was the capital of early Russia before Moscow. Maybe the Russians view the re-taking if Ukriane, a piece at a time, as their right.

Unfortunately, the price does not include shipping from Ukraine nor relatable customs fees and taxes.

I think I'd rather go with something like this:

Soviet Armor :: PTS-2

Because while your BTR starts sinking, I'll be turning mine into the Post-apocalyptic party barge.

Vladimir Putin

 

[Coug]

I'm typically a CNN guy as opposed to Fox or MSNBC, but they have been absolutely incorrigible concerning 370. It's all they've talked about for the past week or more.

It was litereally 24/7 before. Now ever since Malaysia called it a loss they've backed off some and actually started showing some of their special shows like Weed and others.

 

[Burhead]

Well the meeting in Paris just ended, guess we'll see what happens.

Lulz. A tracked party barge. I like the BDRM-2 as well.

So the Russians are still refusing to talk with anyone in UKR government?

Meanwhile, the Right Sector protest.

I think BO and Kerry better go ahead and prepare themselves for Ukraine to be the next piece of the new USSR. They're not gonna do $#!+ about it and it's gonna keep happening till Putin's appetite is satiated. Quick! Hit the reset button again!

Russian forces 'gradually withdrawing' from Ukraine border: Kiev

Russian forces 'gradually withdrawing' from Ukraine border: Kiev

Withdrawing one battalion (Russian size 400-500) is nothing when there is between 40,000-80,000 troops on the border. Also Ukrainian MFA claims the Russians have moved former Vostok Battalion fighters into Crimea.

 

[Burhead]

Oh and I see Kiev has suspended their military deals with the Russians;

Kyiv

 

[Velo Vol]

Kyiv

How much maintenance does a missile need? No moving parts.

More than you would think.

 

[Velo Vol]

Then again I won't think the Air Force would need an entire program whose sole purpose is to press the button to launch a missile. But it exists . . . with cheating officers to boot.

 

[Burhead]

Lulz, just got called an American Idiot by some Russian or pro-Russian guy on Twitter.

 

[Obsessed]

Should we gang up on him and twitter him to death?

So you'd rather have a central computer system where one person could potentially have the ability to fire all the ICBM force or 900 people that actually can be sure of the veracity of the launch order?

The cheating thing was kind of surprising though. The Air Force nuclear system has been in trouble for a while. I have my own theories about some of it though.
