Scramble Messageboard

For those who are not following the Ukrainian war through twitter... maybe time to start doing it. Before it is too late. Here in Portugal the news doesn't say anything and also Dutch news sites seem not very interested. However, the Ukrainians are going absolutely crazy and mopping up the Russians ...

Contradictio in Terminis of the day

I like to be proven wrong. But KDC-10 was official type in press release at the time it came into service. As these where modified DC-10-30CF the T-255 was still a DC10-30CF And the navy (MLD) had some sort of type allocation system for not US types They were chronological AH-12 for Wasp SP-13 for ...

You can give it any name you want, but the official factory name isn't KC-30M. So stick to your old fashioned way, I don't care ... Sorry for being rude, but there is no medicine to stubborn people. Where you work is not the clue to the official answer 'Factory name' wasn't KDC-10 either, yet that'...

Thanks, I will go check some Spanish sites/groups to see if I can find some photographic evidence of that. Much appreciated.

[ edited by mod, see Basic rule C.8 ] Oryx or others does not have track of lost aircraft in Russia. Many aircraft are lost or hit on Russian ground. You also have attrition of spend off aircraft returned to base. May be aircraft (and helicopters) are write off after landning on homebase or need hea...

Is there a summary somewhere of all the aircraft the Russians have lost since they started the war? Realistically, no. Oryx does try to keep track, but especially with aviation they are far from the official totals. No doubt the official numbers are too high, but the difference in this case is enor...

Wow! This is really massive. Not much images yet of aircraft (except the one Su-24 above), but some more videos are emerging of absolutely massive destruction. Some claims are going around of 40 aircraft destroyed, but I guess that's pretty much guesswork. What is already clear is that many Russians...

There might be several. ER-KGA (coded 1) has also been around. ER-KGB (coded 3) as well, though just this week I saw a picture of that one on the Canary Islands.
Unfortunately the Portuguese are no longer flying. All stored in Ponte de Sor now (except for the one that was lost).

Half a Russian Su-25 in a field somewhere in Ukraine. Serial ending in ...26. Can't see the code, also because the nose is gone...

Russian Mi-8 doesn't want to go to Ukraine, so it rolls over and plays dead...

I have seen tanks do this before, first time a helicopter tries the same trick.

Russian Su-34 got pancaked. Somewhere in Luhansk region and as noted in the tweet perhaps by friendly fire. Serial ending in 90?

For what it is worth, the 11405 was flying on Monday.

And many thanks for the Frecce serials!
