Russia vs. Ukraine Part 2

[jamil]

Well, there's yer proof. Putin said it. Just didn't say US but that's what he meant!

I suspect, but have no proof l, that the US was involved in some way, at least in terms of not being surprised if facts emerged that prove it. There’s circumstantial evidence. I have no reason to think our government could not have been involved. I don’t think we’re the good guys. That would be delusional. I think every state involved in the Ukraine/Russia conflict is a bad guy.

Wow. That’s pretty insane.

What happens when the enemy of your enemy is your enemy? You get ****ed hard.

That was why we were replying how we replied.

I’m don’t see this affecting anything.

Could we get one for Biden? Do they take requests?

The MQ-9 Reaper cost $14M. (slight threadjack...)

Back in the day when I was active duty USAF and the Predator was the RQ-1 (before the folks at the 28th Test Squadron figured out how to shoot Hellfires from them and it became the MQ-1) these things crashed left and right. Every time the story about the crash would break, the cost of the RQ-1 was different. Finally some 4-Star said, "Can we agree on the price of these things??!!"

This has been a threadjack. We now return you to the thread already in progress.

I also read that the Reaper can be fitted with AIM 9-X Sidewinders. Just sayin'.

So does all this war stuff escalate more now that there is an international warrant for putin?? Does nato or whomever send in special forces of some sorts to either kill or apprehend him??

Maybe Putin will extradite Putin...

 

[Wolfhound]

Maybe Putin will extradite Putin...

Would Putin then have himself assassinated?

This is a big deal. An arrest warrant was also issued for Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova. She is the lady in charge of organizing the mass kidnapping of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian children.

It can basically mean that Putin will never leave Russia for anywhere that supports the ICC. Yeah, he can go to China or Belarus or a few other backwater countries, but that's it. Anywhere that holds a meeting of world leaders he'll be excluded. Kindof a downer for an egomaniac.

Stealing children is not cool in must cultures. This could put real pressure on India, Turkey, and others to back away from the fence sitting. I don't know that it will force the issue, but it sure does make it harder to justify dealing with a leader that steals children. Even Iran may have issues. They are already facing internal problems and I'm certain Islam says something about family.

Just a thought...

Doug

Uk rain is soon to run short of manpower on at least the front lines.
Russia is pushing forward with prison fighters of the Wagner group. The expendables. Even if the normal UK soldier takes out 4 Wagners before beening combat ineffective they become combat ineffective.

Soon they will need an influx of troops and weapons. Not just weapons.

I had a hard time figuring out how you were tying the weather in Great Britain into this conflict....

Sometimes the Miami indian code talker still comes out in me. Bear country dragon country and UK rain seem to confuse robots, I refuse to do any of the which pictures contain buss’s questions also. I will not teach artificial intelligence by feeding corporations databases Human intelligence (which we have a lack of in USA) .

MQ-9 can carry GBU-38s (500 LB JDAMs), Small Diameter Bombs, probably a few goodies that were still being invented when I was on active duty.

If the LOCAAS (Low Cost Autonomous Attack System) had gone into production the Reaper would've carried those too. Saw that in a briefing pre-9/11. Hard telling what they have now.

I was envisioning a Reaper (or two) patrolling international waters with a Reaper (or two) flying CAP in case Ivan the hot shot Russkie pilot shows up in his ****** old-fashioned Su-27 and decides to **** around with an unarmed drone. Just sayin'.
