I think the MiG-21 were produced up until the 1980s. Not sure how old the Romanian birds are, but I do know that they were extensively upgraded to the LanceR standard in the late 1990s. Updated radar, avionics, compatibility with what was at the time the latest generation of air-to-air missiles, helmet mounted targeting & sight system based on Israeli designs, most of the instruments replaced by two MFDs, so a pretty substantial upgrade.
Russian kit ending up on eBay apparently. I hope the buyers check it's running!
Nuclear war is imminent.
It's not.
4 Russian fighter jets violated Swedish airspace earlier.

Relax Brah
Relax, brah
Given the images of the crowds of people at this station in recent this seems unbelievably reckless. EDIT: apparently the missile may have been shot down over the station.
Relax brah...
LOL...snap
You win this round door but I'll be back! Just as soon as I can get some food and some fuel.
The circumstances here are complex, developing by the hour, and highly unpredictable.
Dismissing the legitimate concern about a miscalculation on either Nato or Russia, drawing both into conflict, is a real one.
Two weeks ago, I would have agreed with you actually. But after what has transpired since, we cannot just dismiss it on a whim.
No, it would simply be unlawful (as in forbidden by EU Regulation), not illegal, it is not a criminal offence (the EU can not prescribe criminal offences, that is an issue of national competance) and therefore no criminal responsibility.
I think what you should be finding " hard to understand " is that a murdering Russian tyrant is slaughtering Ukrainians as wespeak.
Israeli media reporting that the Israeli PM spoke to Putin again. Instead of rebuffing this time, Putin said "the key to ending this conflict is guaranteeing Russian security"
Doesn't sound like much, but for a man like Putin this is somewhat of a slight opening for negotiations.
History will not look at you kindly….
I bet you don’t give a damn about the dead babies in baby ICU in Ukraine…
But, but, but.. But nothing. These milky-liveried make me sick to the stomach
I'm not dismissing it on a whim, but being concerned about the risk of nuclear war, and stating that its imminent are 2 different things completely
Putin is hiding the war from Russian people. He cannot go nuclear because of this.
Create a No Fly zone
Irish Aer Corps PC-12 Just made a stop off at J-town, Poland. Took off again and is now entering Hungarian airspace, heading south..
Fake
splitting hairs
What are they doing over there?
Except "Russian security" means controlling Ukraine
Imagine if you were a sociopath, certainly reaching the end of your reign. What do you personally have to lose. Not everybody thinks for the greater good. That is the problem. The best way to identify a sociopath in life is that everything around them turns to ****. He won’t be happy until he has destroyed it for everybody
Will Mick Wallace face any sort of accountability?
Jasionka is seriously busy at the moment. Aer Corps pc-12, followed by a Luxembourg AF A-400, then a USAF C-130 and finally, a Ryanair flight...
Possibly. I suspect what it means is no NATO membership, no offensive weapons that can threaten Russia (ballistic missiles) and "we get to keep a chunk of Ukraine as a security buffer".
Not in the world of law (criminal law is my specialty).
They are going to parachute Wallace and Daly on to the front line...
