Re: Russian Air Force operating over Syria

That's why, most of the time, hospitals are clearly marked with big flags and other markings. Even if not visible by the pilot himself, it should have been noted by the planners of the attack. Assuming, of course, Russians plan their attacks with the help of photgraphs and other imagery. Otherwise ...

Re: the Flanker shuffle

Algeria is now the last operator of the Mig 25 but already ordered Su-34 to replace them. Yes, unfortunately, they will be phased soon. The last Russian ones, Recce and twi-seaters, were phased out 3-4 years ago if I remember well. Some Libyan group made one airworthy a few month ago, just to crash...

Re: Russian Air Force operating over Syria

And this http://edition.cnn.com/2016/02/15/middleeast/aleppo-syria-survival-story/index.html One must be very clever to tell the difference between a Russian AF and a Syrian (russian built) jet from the ground, ... unless it was a Su-30 or Su-34, but those usually don't fly at low level when carryi...

Re: 2016 Belgian Air Force: Falcon 20 retirement, Falcon 900

On the other hand, having two airbases equipped for use of combat aircraft is also necessary under circumstances like long-lasting runway repair, exceptional weather conditions, important accident at one location, not to talk in the case of civil unrest or war. Beauvechain isn't really available (an...

Re: Su-24 shot down near Syrian/Turkish border

Lucky Turkish Top guns !! What a chance the F-16Cs were just right there at the very right moment during those (alleged, still not proven) 2 x 7 seconds (or unique few seconds) lasting air space violation(s) and, after the (also alleged) 10 warnings, managed to 1. put themself in firing position, 2....

Re: Su-24 shot down near Syrian/Turkish border

So we'll maybe agree on (only) one thing : it had nothing to do with defending one's own life, but just with politics. Without saying officially, Turkey is just backing some local armed groups. That's all... For the rest, international rules apply also in this case as Russia and Turkey are not at wa...

Moldovan helicopter downed by Taliban

It looks like it is a privately owned Mi-8.
3 or 4 killed. 18 captured.
Some of those helicopters are usually based at Chisinau airport.
