Me and the youngest were watching the news and we heard what we thought was a Chinook coming in low down the valley (they do that a lot) and it turned out to be the washing machine on spin

What were you washing, pebbles!?

Going to Cornwall about 20 years ago we stopped at an M5 services South of Bristol, everyone was looking at the sky. There was a B2 Spirit at about 3000 feet, it was escorted by 4 F15's they were going to Fairford airshow.

Loving the idea that people are googling Russian restaurants and leaving reviews.
Only telling the Russian people what is actually happening in Ukraine.

I think after this fiasco the Russian military won't be feared like they used to be. I think if the west attacked now ( if the missile attacks on civilians increased to genocide levels) they would wipe out every single piece of military hardware the Russians had in Ukraine. I really hope it doesn't come to that.

Happening all over Ukraine. Rumoured that fuel train was desperately needed… tanks running dry and being abandoned, picked up and driven back to the nearest petrol stations (I joke)… at this rate they just be able to drive to Moscow in a week or two if they can hold on.

Looks like both Poland and Bulgaria have declined to give their jets to the Ukrainians

Still waiting for something concrete, but pretty sure Bulgaria won't

not seen anything yet to suggest that but just seen this

Exactly they had no choice but to suspend Russia, and I do note it's only a suspension, surely they can't allow Russia to compete in the upcoming WC can they, even if the situation in Ukraine is resolved soon.

What this does demonstrate is the power the sponsors can have, as soon as they started pulling out FIFA soon changed their initial stance.

They probably want the Russians to know they are there or they would turn their transponders off.

JarrowClaret · Post by **JarrowClaret** » Mon Feb 28, 2022 9:33 pm

Nothing secretive about where allied forces/ aircraft are and there numbers and the Russians would have more accurate info than what we put on here.

It seem the cluster of the last 5 days has gone looks as if the Russians have had a reset using more of there tactical aircraft and more deliberate tactics. Let’s see what happens from here in!

Not 100% to plan, but looks like it might have worked. Hope she got it out before she got too burned. She needed to add more Styrofoam to the mix so it didn't come out the top maybe.

Edit: I guess that's the new version of a hot date in the Ukraine.

Evil, if the Russians don't turn on Putin after this there is no hope for that country. So called military people burning children and civilians to death in the most brutal manner. He wants doing for war crimes.

For christ sake that's tragic, sadly she's not been the 1st child to die in this madness, and I'm afraid to say she probably won't be the last.

What a cruel waste of life for one man's vanity project.

When will humans learn to live in peace and harmony, and stop all this futile killing.

You'd have hoped the lessons of the 2 world wars of the 20th century would have been learnt by now, but apparently not, and seemingly yet another generation will grow up in the shadow of war.

Yes you're right. Its the 21st century and Russians would know that the first place to look about top secret info about their enemies is The Bee Hole End. We've played right into their hands.
