It would be nice if there was something coming out of Vucic that made any sense, he's talking about attack helicopters and ballistic missiles? Why are we shopping for Kamaz truck chassis from Russia when FAP is struggling to keep the doors open? I hope whatever deal was made actually makes...

Proka how soon will we know what kind of deal was made in Moscow recently? Any rumors about what the Russians are sending? S300? Mig's?

the video is of a Ilyushin Il-20 Coot intell gathering plane (ELINT) or Il-22B command post version

looks big, I would say it's their new Altius Russian Army to Introduce Advanced, Long-Range UAV

There are a million Syrian refugee's descending on Europe, and none of them seem to be blaming Assad for their troubles. I think they realize that their misery and suffering was caused by US foreign policy and toppling of governments.

2 new Mil-17's is good, but they will only have really 1 additional machine if you consider the tragedy last winter when one crashed on the rescue mission. Every little bit helps though, I wonder if there has been any development on the new French machines?

honestly, I can't tell who is "more crazy" anymore. However, I don't see videos of Kurds cutting people's heads off. Maybe if every ethnic group got their own little chunk of dirt with clearly defined borders all this slaughter can stop? It looks like all this started with western...

yes, but, if a Su-34 "accidentally" gets shot down by a Turkish or Israeli F-16, then you have a real diplomatic problem. You can't operate strike aircraft in a hostile environment without CAP. This war needs to end, and new borders need to be drawn IMO. It's time the Sunni's and Kurd's...

BLACKBEAGLE, can you explain more, who are Syrians? To an outsider like me it just looks like Tribal warfare.

first pics of Sukhois over Syrian skies (possibly) The Aviationist » These photos suggest Russian Air Force jets and drones are already operating against ISIS in Syria Also, has anyone else been watching satellite data from Syrian air bases. It appears that at Tiyas air base- Homs, Mig 25's...

it will be interesting to see if anything further is revealed. There's a lot of detail to this story which could be true. It's also entirely possible that the Syrian's are keeping it quiet too in order to give Bibi a way out , and not force him to do something even more crazy. that's not...

from B92, looks like Serbia plans to keep the Mig-21's airborne for a while longer.

that web-site claims it was a large drone. What does Israel say?

maybe they don't need MIG interceptors if the Israeli's continue to violate Syrian Airspace, claims of downing an F16 and 2 Helicopters. Syrian Army shoots down Israel’s intruding fighter jet and two helicopters ~ [Report] | the real SyrianFreePress Network

you're welcomed some people in this thread seem to think that all Russian aircraft and combat systems are a joke. However, I can tell you that when they sortie out over the Baltic sea NATO does not see it that way. They scramble Typhoons on intercept every single time Typhoon & Mig31's

is the Mig 31 even designed to operate with AWACS? My understanding is that as a high altitude interceptor it's function was to be vectored by ground control radar. link The Aviationist » How the Mig-31 repelled the SR-71 Blackbird from Soviet skies In this book one of the first Foxhound...

that's the sticking point isn't it, "if properly deployed" . For whatever reason, we never see Russian technology meet up to it's ratings or theoretical potential, not since Vietnam. Is it because the Russians have never fully supported their equipment like they did in Vietnam or is it all just...

I'm lazy ; ) If all the Sat pics are from 2014 then not much help. Can someone please contact the United States Dept. of defense and ask them for more recent photo's. Lets say, past 72 hours. ; ) come to think of it Mezzeh is unlikely, Dumayr, Kahlkala , or Homs (mig 25) is where their...

maybe AIM 120D with range of 97 miles was introduced into service last year, not sure which countries have it. The C version was 57 miles. A mig 31 carrying the latest A33 missile can easily engage targets at 100+ nautical miles, and up to 180 miles depending on which Radar and...

will Iran be providing trained WSO's? ( Weapons system officers) Maybe a good response to Israel lobbing JDAM's into Syria with impunity. Possibly a threat to F15-I Ra'am operating in stand-off role over Lebanese air-space? opinions? pictures please : )
