94 kts is the kind of speed you're expect of simple single-engine piston aircraft like a Cessna 152 or 172 or small Piper or similar. Likewise 3000 feet. The only trouble is that those wouldn't have anything like the range needed to fly from Argentina to Poland. Not without multiple stops to refuel, plus additional tanks and a route via The US, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, etc.
3000 ft suggests an IFR flight rather than a VFR flight, which I would expect at 2500 or 3500 ft. So perhaps someone entered the wrong transponder code?
(Disclaimer: The above is best-guesswork based on flight sim knowledge and aviation buffery. I'm not claiming expertise. I did fly a plane once but none of the above was relevant to that.) 😊
I revoke. That honour goes to the absolute scum-bag, Tucker Carlson
Sun Tzu's "Golden Bridge of Retreat" for Putin may be constructed from the bodies of his advisors who "got it so wrong".
You have to feel for him, relying on such jerks who bullied him into taking their advice. 🙄
I've said this before and I'll continue saying it, I hope everyone remembers the people who have shown their true colours in the last month. Wallace is a complete **** clown and a moral vacuum. Zelenskyy is leading his country while outside forces are trying to erase it. Damn right he's going to appeal for help. I mean Jesus Christ, I doubt there's many in Zelenskyy's circle who haven't already lost family or friends or colleagues or college friends or people they were having meetings with last week while millions of women and children and elderly people are still fleeing, a few weeks into this abomination. Cities are lying in ruins as the shells continue to fall.
But hey, Zelenskyy, calm down the **** will ya? Mick Wallace stole his employee's pensions then went bankrupt scerwing others out of millions, he knows what real suffering is.
I wouldn't want it to appear to be because of pressure from the outside but Fox News have a chance to excise that tumour right now.
Tumour? Isn't he one of their most popular presenters?
Pakistan has entered the chat.
Any opportunity to Trump India. They will be at pains to point out that they helped Ukraine where India sided with Russia. I was very surprised to see this. A long flight for one of their older C-130's
Everything posted in this area of the world of Ukraine damaging stuff belongs to Russia. Swear Ukraine army unscathed on the frontline areas, this is a problem showing only your side story,
The reality of the battlefront. Russia is clearly winning even if it is slow.

Kherson fell. They can push into Odesa if they capture Mykolaiv..
Mariupol is going to fall soon. Russian advanced to encircle now and take out the defense left. How long it take?
Kharkiv looks to be a problem area for Russia's advances.
Chernihiv Russia progressing quickly and going to encircle forces there and take it.., Russia may wait days and weeks, for the troops in Kherson and Kharkiv to link up before issue demands to surrender. Modern forces prefer to not drive into a city from just one side, you want to give defenders something to think about. Convoy may be waiting on orders from the Kremlin to stay put.
Still not sure , Belarus Came out and said it was a Russian night target practice , but it wouldn't make sense Along with launching 30 + aircraft it doesn't sound like a drill ,seems to be radio silence on it today,and add lushenkos tv appearance where he looked like he was under lot of stress

I'm going to be charitable to Mick Wallace (not a popular stance, I know) and say that he's so committed to an anti-war ethos, that he ends up sounding like a dickhead. In other words, a country gets invaded and Wallace seems to look askance at the idea of a country defending itself and thinks its leader is basically as bad as the aggressor by calling for military aid.
I would just like to add that by going into the whataboutery that Wallace and Daly do, you essentially work to paralyse a response to anything. In other words, instead of acting on something, we should stop and attempt to consider everything, thereby acting on nothing.
The amount (on this scale) is so small, I think what we'll see is that the bigger defaults at the end of March make more of a splash. For all we know this is the Kremlin paying for oligarch's wives handbags and might just be held by a couple of people. Might technically be noise, i.e., going from one account to another with all assets held in dollars by maybe someone linked to Russia and someone else.
Have you ever been a priest
Never mind. Turns out they were airlifted 300 pakistani students out of Poland who had left Ukraine.
No idea on the list of payments coming up but one of the major banks expected Russian defaults to start in April, so there must be some big ones in there
If/when they do default, they'll have a big "I can't cover my obligations" sign hanging over them. Argentina is still recovering from that.
Yes I'd say heads will roll alright
Fast approaching 1,500 pieces of Russian equipment confirmed destroyed, abandoned or captured of which 235 are main battle tanks.
This is a handy list. I'm sure it's far from complete, but shows nearly $3bn due by the 1st week in April:

Nice one thanks. That's a fun redemption on the 4th.
It depends on the context though. Argentina couldn't service it's debts because it had no money, Russia can't service it's debts because even though it has the money, its assets are impounded and is partially locked out of the international banking system.
Regime change would see a recovery in Russian creditworthiness.
There's been crap posted about Belarus here every day this week then it's never mentioned again. Maybe stop hysterical posting Twitter rumours and trust that reliable media will report if anything important of substance happens
Nonsense
I wonder if his master Putin demanded the jets as he seems to lack numbers in his airforce. They are possibly getting rebranded right now.
Hi Vlad,
Kherson fell over a week ago.
Mariupol - been hearing this for two weeks
Kharkiv is a graveyard for Russians
You're saying that the Russians may wait "weeks" before linking up. They've lost thousands of soldiers in 3 weeks, hundreds of tanks etc and still can't get air superiority. What on earth are they going to be like in "weeks"
Sorry mate. Put a fork in the Ruskies, they're done.
The amount of propaganda from the media on this has been surprising. One thing I would say about the US is that you cannot believe a word the US say because they are a country that actively lied about another country having wmds and coerced other countries into war against that country even though they knew they were lying about that country having wmds. Absolutely zero credibility as a result. If you watch the addresses Putin gave in full with english subtitles he makes some perfectly valid points there.
😂
In the interest of hilarity, can you highlight the valid points?
Two questions:
1) What the hell are you smoking?
2) Where can I get myself some of that, because if the above is anything to go by, that's gotta be some potent stuff!!
