Cheers. Not yet confirmed by Ankara though. It would be a very interesting turn of events if so.

7.09am here, just been up for 40 minutes. Doing my ritual, make the coffee, sit at the Mac and read the news, then on to JKB. What a world we live in, cancer still basically an incurable disease, but man is busy creating weapons that will at some time destroy the earth. We talk about conventional war, there never has been such, man has always from origin tried to find an unconventional way to fight each other. Animals use conventional means to fight, what they were born with, teeth claws whatever. WW 1 the aircraft was introduced, WW2 it was used for carpet bombing on civilian non combatant homes. We have moved on from there, atom bombs, nuclear bombs and what the hell else we don't know about yet. Many times as a wee boy in Edinburgh I looked up at the night sky and saw a star or something shoot across the sky, it then just disappeared as if it had never been, I see some night a wee boy in some distant planet watching similar, and this time the wee star will be earth after an exchange of non conventional nuclear weapons, and the universe will be at rest again for a while.

I just read an article where the great man himself Donald Trump is praising Putin, I hope he is not the pilot for the careening through space dying earth.

Yes I admit I may be getting auld man donnert, but the world is a sad sight.

The Z marked on the vehicles shows them to be Russian does it not?

 

Doesn't matter who's they are, though.

The Russians. The Ukrainian forces still have some old soviet equipment in use and it is to stop confusion. Bit of a target though for the Ukrainians to take them out hopefully

Seen a video of Ukranian tank firing at another on twitter earlier. So the confusion makes sense.

Actually true. 

The BMP2 is now quite old and designed to replace the BMP1 during the Russian Afghan conflict…..the BMP 1 could not elevate its gun high enough to shoot upwards into the higher ground where the mujahideen were…..it was also not a good idea to have bulbous rear doors as your fuel tanks as the BMP1 did…….mujahideen were quick to exploit that Russian weakness (their “fuel in the rear doors” concept was a typical bravado Russian idea that they would never show their rear to the enemy 😂😂.

 

The BMP 2 also being very old now would still outgun the British army’s warrior vehicles simply because of the warriors outdated 30mm rarden cannon with its 6 round firing capability and must be stationary to fire.

 

Google BMP3 and you’ll see the Russian monster that our warriors are supposed to be compatible with in a fight:

 

1.  100mm semi automatic rifled main gun (which can also fire anti-tank missiles through it) its stabilised so can fire with a fair degree of accuracy on the move

2.  30mm fully automatic cannon positioned to the side of the main gun.

3.  7.62mm machine gun coaxial fitted under both the guns mentioned above.

4.  2 x 7.62mm bow mounted machine guns

 

So, that’s 5 guns at the front of the vehicle all capable of firing on the same target………I wouldn’t fancy a warriors chance of thanking this on………oh and the Russians have quite a lot of them 😁

The successor BMP3 was started on 1987 - 35 years ago ? So how old are these BMP2s ?

Ancient tbh……. not sure about the time it takes Russia to procure equipment but, 20 odd years from placing a request to tender for a particular large piece of equipment to the equipment actually rolling out operational wouldn’t be unusual, it is a bit of a long haul, I think our aircraft carriers and new subs were drawn out on plans 20 odd years ago.  A massive research & development and testing process takes years.

 

Id assume (not itk) Russia with the size of their ground forces would absolutely keep anything that still works regardless of age…..all modern military actions require a high degree of mobility.

What we need is total ostracisation and boycotting of anything to do with Russia. Seemingly France and Italy are now on board with booting Russia out of SWIFT with just Germany to win over - they use it to buy gas from the Counts. As Germany are now arming the Ukrainians, a SWIFT ban will come.

 

Inflation will go up as we all have to get stuff from Russia from elsewhere but we need to smoke the bar stewards out, or rather smoke their leader and his sycophants out.

I had relatives in South Africa during the bad old days and while stuff like football and Eurovision might sound trivial, maybe risibly so, the South Africans really felt their isolation - especially sport.  They also knew their media was lying to them and always wanted to know what was being said around the world.
