Orcs don't surf

Wonder what's on offer.

Looks at my boards.ie join date.

Okay chief.

I have absolutely zero issue with Russian soldiers being blown to bits with cluster bombs. Therefore I don't see why I should be bemoaning them using cluster bombs. They're absolute fuckers and scum for doing so, but that's not the issue I'm bringing up at all.

I'm talking about post war legacy issues. Russia don't give a damn if Ukraine is a desolate war torn landscape once it's all done, as long as they win. So they'll use whatever.

Ukraine on the other hand need to think about the post war condition of their country as you know, they'll be the ones actually inhabiting it. Them potentially adding their own unexploded cluster bombs to an already war torn landscape is something which needs consideration.

Again, no issue with death from above, blow Russians into smithereens, it's the civilians being blown to bits years down the line that's something worth thinking about.

You'd hope a large amount of taurus cruise missiles but probably the leopard 1s.

myself i think Ukraine should be given what they need,be that the cluster bombs/amuntion all the way up to jet fighters,helicopters etc...as an aside i seem to remember reading about Vietnam at the time,the US had an airplane type called either "spooky" or "puff the magic dragon" (aye the song was popular around that time) i maybe wrong as i know next to nothing about either airplanes or guns but i remember reading that it had at least 2 of the electric type gatling guns mounted in the doors,the plane would be called to an area and do a left bank,turn on the guns and pretty much the whole area was blanketed with gunfire...wondering to myself if they have any of those planes left?could be kind of handy for Ukraine...

Seemingly Putin has met with Prigozhin.

The meeting is reported as having happened on June 29th

Bit rich from them. At the end of the day not all the countries in the EU are members of Nato would be different if that was the case maybe something could be done there. I just hope that some Nato countries who are in NATO don't or are not allowed put pressure on non Nato countries who are in the EU to have to suck this up for the better good. NATO and the EU are different and this should be 100% the case.

Only “back on the agenda” because the re-elected and thus re-invigorated Erdy is feeling a bit blackmailish again. Should do wonders for EU - Turkey relations going forward. As noted by a poster above, it will be interesting to see where this situation ends up.

The problem with Big C130 spectre gunships is they are useless in areas with active air defenses and manpads they are a pretty hard to miss target when they start there gun runs in a circular orbit,

They are mainly used for special forces air support and mostly at night.

Won't be seeing any over the skies of Ukraine unfortunately

You're talking about the AC130. Still in use today. Some pretty spectacular videos on YouTube of them in action in Afghanistan and Iraq. Also makes an appearance early on in the first Transformers film 😁

Not sure how effective they'd be in Ukraine due to Russian AA and the fact Ukraine doesn't have air superiority.

Pathetic, your existence doesn't even deserve to be acknowledged.

So just a video of a russian tank and aircraft firing rounds, some drone footage and lots of claims by the Russian ministry of defence of all the thousands of troops they killed. also yet another video of the same vehicles destroyed from weeks ago.

You should send that to Tucker Carlson or something.

The decline in both quality and number of pro-Russian trolls correlates pretty well with the latest phase of Russian mobilisation.

It'd be funny if one of them got drafted mid-post.
