Re: ALLIED RESOLVE 2022

It just makes you wonder when an 'expert' talks about 'Mig-31BM'... cringeworthy...
Why cringeworthy? A report from Zvezda news which surfaced this morning shows MiG-31s operating next to Su-25, Su-24MR and Su-34.

Re: ALLIED RESOLVE 2022

The crew of the Russian Su-30 ejected and then tried to escape wearing bright orange flightsuits! What are they thinking; they are on a trainingflight?

Correct. It is a picture of the Ukranian An-26 shot down on day one. Now sold as 'Russian Su-27' and some ppl fall for that trick.....

Re: Romanian AF Mig-21 and IAR 330 Rescue helicopter lost

Pilot of MiG-21 Lancer and seven crew onboard the IAR330 have all been killed, according to the Romanian Air Force.

The MiG-21 was on an Air Policing mission, making the pilot the first NATO casualty in the current war?

Re: Dutch F-35A to Bulgaria

Apparently the Bulgarian prime minister is opposing the deployment of NATO jets to his country. So we will have to see if this deployment will actually happen. The man is a Putin/Russia supporter, so that explains his reasoning. I think you refer to the former prime minister? There should be a new ...

The 36-year old KF-5E had warninglights for both engines go on immediately after take off and it nosedived. South Korean media report that 'the pilot tried to escape' probably pointing to an un...

Mustang 18, Nevada Army Natl Guard-- unusual view because they didn't listen to the tower and flew their own approach--right over the admiral's house. They were 'counseled' by the tower and then told to report to base ops.
