Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[thetutle]

When the Soviets(Russians) invaded Afghanistan - and Pakistan supported the resistence - how much did the Soviets attempt to attack Pakistan ? Minor aerial incurisions - they never directly challenged Pakistan and Pakistan didnot have the protection of NATO or nuclear weapons at that time.

So - the question is - are the Russian prepared to directly challenge a NATO country - i suspect the answer will be - no. Time will tell .

Pakistan is slightly a bigger fish than Romania or Slovakia. And Pakistan had China.

I think Russia will not allow it without serious consequences. If nato is united it will be ok. If they shy away from protecting weaker members its going to be bad for all.

The Russians brought the Pantsir-S.

Lovers meet again.

Now we will see whether or not the Pantsir really was just used badly by the arab nations or if it is just generally a bad SAM system

The Turkish evacuation operation continues actively. If there are Pakistani acquaintances who are stuck where they are, you can forward the following communication channels:

You sure about that? I would like to see your evidence that the Budapest Agreement of 1994 contain Belarus.

NATO can handle Russia quite easily - it is just ** NOT ALLOWED ** to handle Russia because its treaty framework and governance wont allow it for now until is activated.

Do not confuse lack of NATO action as being "fear" or lack of capability - it is not fear. It just has no treaty obligation to get involved.

You have to understand that for most people here, they are used to their governments acting even at the lack of legal authority, so they expect everyone to be the same.

Ooooohhhh...You guys have no idea how useful the F-35 is even when it is OUTSIDE the borders of conflict areas. Just because we do not publish what the F-35 found, it does not mean its flights are useless. But am glad that YOU mock the F-35 and I hope more people thinks shallowly like you do.

Indeed, in reference to techs, it could be a state-of-the-art piece.

Sometimes even most modern techs failed against old-time technology. So nothing is invincible in the world. Sometimes a myth is created but the reality is only and always proves on battlefields.

On 27 March 1999, during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, a Yugoslav army unit shot down an F-117 Nighthawk stealth aircraft of the United States Air Force by firing a S-125 Neva/Pechora surface-to-air missile. The pilot ejected safely and was rescued by U.S. Air Force PJs conducting search and rescue.

On 1 May 1960, a United States U-2 spy plane was shot down by the Soviet Air Defence Forces while performing photographic aerial reconnaissance deep inside Soviet territory. The single-seat aircraft, flown by pilot Francis Gary Powers, was hit by an S-75 Dvina surface-to-air missile and crashed near Sverdlovsk.

We have NEVER said our sh!t is invincible.

I just wish that people would stop using 'invincible' in criticizing US. It is tiresome. Invincible and perfection are standards no one can achieve.

I have explained, on this forum, on how that happened. That loss does not negate the technical superiority of low radar observability in the battlefields.

The single-seat aircraft, flown by pilot Francis Gary Powers, was hit by an S-75 Dvina surface-to-air missile and crashed near Sverdlovsk.

And the US never lost an SR-71. And the U-2/TR-1 continues flying to this day with no one having anything better.
