Off course!!:D

Isn't the primary goal of all Kurdish organizations to have an own country? they are not just asking for only Turkish territory. If Turkey is in a position to do so e.g. via Syrian lands (after all you mentioned controlled by an illegitimate government) - then why not? and thus gain friends for...

Personally I prefer the CH-53K far more. In order to supposedly saving money Germany opts. for 60 CH-47F instead of 40 CH-53K Once they have them, the next news will be that due to budget constrains the Bundewehr can only service 30-40 of those 60 CH-47's.

Reminds me of Vietnam: US forces deploying 50t of aircraft bombs, 10t of artillery grenades and 50,000 small caliber ammo towards 2 suspected VC's. Lesson: don't hesitate to employ excessive usage of ammo to avoid own human losses. ;)

Syria is an independent and sovereign country - No outsider should be allowed to wage war and kill Syrian people in Syria. So: Russia - out, USA - out, Iran - out, and Turkey - out. (excluding those troops invited by Damascus) On the other hand - no joke - why isn't Turkey "liberating" e.g...

I don't quite agree with your assessment since you might not be aware of the NATO-Ring exchange program and agreements. 1. So far NATO has not agreed towards sending modern heavy weapons or aircraft. It is just individual States pushing for such deliveries - which is meaningless, but provides...

Oh darn - there goes another Chinese "secret" :cool:

I would even go as far to state, that Russian stuff isn't bad or worse then NATO stuff. It seems the primary issue is, that Russia is plagued with is the incompleteness of it's equipment - lack of substantial accessories. E.g. tanks with the fixtures for Reactive armor, but no charges or...

Thanks for the welcome

Official Chinese data in regards to UAF and RF losses are not available to my knowledge. Chinese think-tanks and government close organizations however seem to share the estimates of Western think-tanks.

Well that depends doesn't it? :) That he has a health problem is more or less sure - how serious it is, no outsider really knows. What is known is that Putin has loads of meetings and is traveling up and down Russia. - so health might not be such an issue after all. If the RF losses are at...

As for claims: anyone has some "alternative" sources? E.g. The UAF and Western Media claim approximately 31,000 RF KIA. taking the usual ratio that would sum up to 120,000 RF KIA,MIA, WIA,POW. Meaning approximately 50% of the RF (incl. DLNR) fores would be out of action. On the other hand...

Why do the canopies of the Rafale and Saab Gripen open sideways? :) The cockpit of the J-35 seems to be deeply embedded into the fuselage - far more then e.g. a F-35 or F-22 - so a front hinging makes sense. The present layout of the J-35 cockpit-air-frame could also suggest the possibility of a...

I think it is a good idea to the benefit of both parties. Other issues need to be solved/approached diplomatically and not via a head on head policy.

IMO either the RF are going to keep up their slow-motion steamroller tactics, or if they actually have the tactical capability they would try to create a 1000km2 pocket via an upward thrust from the Popasna/Berestove direction towards Siversk and linking up with the northern front-line. - just...

Hello members, as you will notice I am the new guy on the block. Looking forward to some interesting exchange of information, opinions and discussions. I haven't read through the entire thread, but I will try my best.;) Taking into account that Putin will still be around at years end - where...
