    These boys will be passing our west coast in a few days.

    They have left the Barents Sea for the Med.

    They are all below deck, they don't carry many at any one time. There were only 24 Su-33 fighters orderd for the Russian Navy and they never deploy them all at the same time, usually just 8-12 and then maybe 4 Su-25UTGs for training. Then about another 8-10 Helix choppers.

    They'd only need one to bring down the Irish Air Corps right? Do our planes have missiles even?

    Though as a small neutral nation under the effective protection of the EU we don't really need MiGs or F22 Raptors - let's make sure our pork is safe to eat first!
