To be honest, with BA's IT systems, you can hardly tell the difference if it's been hacked or not.

haha, good point lol

Again, ancient. That's a design from the 1980s that has been in operation since the early-mid 90s. I'm talking about the new kit. That was the whole topic of conversation. Maybe you should look harder?

Quick look at wiki...they don't really have any newer attack helicopters? All are based on 80's or earlier designs. The ones I've seen footage of that have been shot down were Kamov KA-52 apparently which first flew in the early 80's and were 'introduced' (updated versions?) in 2011. Which is about as modern as they have it seems.

Why don't you tell us?

I’m not making this particular claim am I?

FC Dynamo Kiev. Wonder if our prima donnas would do the same...

Indiscriminate full on artillery bombardment

Ok for a minute I thought you meant nukes.

 

[RobHu]

Maybe but even the confirmed losses are a huge blow and there are supposedly 2 IL-76 transport planes shot down by now, that a massive loss of life in one go for Russian troops.

Yes definitely, transports full of troops (presumably paratroopers i.e. elite) getting shot down is going to add to those numbers pretty damn quickly.

No of course not we only have a hand full of English players in each team.

No don’t be daft, Russia does have a hell of a lot of artillery pieces and it doesn’t matter how old arty is, there’s an old saying between artillery men “ infantry win firefights, Armour wins battles and artillery wins wars”

My old boss was head of it security at ba when they had that massive breach a few years ago, I don't think he was there much longer after

We ought to grant asylum to Russian pows, what a kick in the face to Putin.

Genius idea

Plenty have alluded to exactly that. Fortunately it largely died down now people realise the threat wasn’t as great as was first made out.

Nope, full retard is Russia's escalated to de-escalate policy

https://warontherocks.com/2018/02/n...ation-dangerous-solution-nonexistent-problem/

Western analysts have developed a range of descriptions of Russian nuclear strategy that all fall, with varying degrees of consistency and contradiction, under the “escalate to de-escalate” umbrella. The new NPR and political scientist Matthew Kroenig hold that Russia intends to use nuclear weapons early in a conflict to attain an advantageous battlefield outcome.

Would be nice if the West got this one wrong and it's not a Russian policy especially with how unhinged Putin has become

He was implying you're fully retarded, so should know what 'full retard' entails. HTH.

Those Russian troops that made it to the Chernobyl power station have a convenient waypoint to Kyiv's water reservoir. I do hope that Ukraine has stocked up on water supplies in case Russia get control of the reservoir.

It's not the players it's the supporters club, or rather the hooligan element of it.

 

[alchal]

Again it's old though.

Okay they have lost zero combat helicopters or even tanks eh...

Tell me what this new kit is then.

It's a joke that the world appeased Russia for so long since 2014. Fifa WC 2018 will be the same as 1936 Olympics.

Germany should have been reducing links, not increasing them over the past 8 years.
