Russian invasion of Ukraine

Blue moon has a good section of current and ex military personnel, or are you saying they revert to Wiki too

Not at all, I have freely acknowledged one person in that field on this forum and no doubt there are others. It just struck me that there was rather a lot. It was only a little light hearted comment my friend.

Even if reverting to Wiki they show the tactical nous of Army Catering Corps cooks.

So it is being talked about today that we might send ukraine anti tank and anti aircraft weapons , thought we were the first in the world to give them these weapons ? Every minister and the clown in charge have been bragging about it , worst lies than the mad russian himself

I see bluemoon is now full of military experts, Wikipedia is a wonderful thing. Lol

Huh, wiki ! I had an Action Man (with movable arms) so I know all about military conflict.

It was full of virologists and epidemiologists not that long ago. Who needs an education when an expert in every walk of life is on here.

very few are claiming to be experts in the field but most are just offering an opinion or giving some good insight on the situation- it’s the whole purpose of a forum.

According to Ben Wallace (Trust a conservative cabinet member at your own risk)

- We have sent 3600 NLAWs

- We are going to start sending Javelins and the new Starstreak anti aircraft missile .

Starstreak is significant because they go at over 3,000 mph.

Modern fighters can go around 1300mph, Stinger missiles do about 1400mph, so they can be outrun over the 5 miles or so the missile has fuel for. Can’t outrun a starstreak.

Quite a change in rhetoric today, sounds like Russia is now only asking for demilitarisation of the Donbas region. Going to be interesting to see how the talks between the foreign ministers go tomorrow.

Where did you see this please?
