Scramble Messageboard

According to the info on the special FF website of the RNLAF, the British and Germans will be in the exercise but from their own airbases rather than from leeuwarden.

Indeed weird. The location NE is strange. NW would bring them closer to China, which could mean they have been there to pick up supplies. Although that could have been done more easily by train. Sailing all the way to Ukraine seems unlikely as the Turks have promised to keep their waters closed for ...

Can't imagine how this plane would ever be able to deliver the same punch as Tornado is still able to deliver...... Maybe the Tornado can give more of a punch in the final seconds of the attack. But getting to the target is the most difficult part. Of course with all the modern radars and anti-airc...

Several newsites (BBC, CNN) mention that Russia has asked China to supply them with weapons. Must be running out much quicker than they had anticipated. Lets just hope the Chinese will not deliver weapons to Russia. But I am afraid that they will then in return demand US/EU to stop delivering weapon...

Do you really believe a Chinese government advisor is allowed to publish his own personal meaning that would deviate from the official Chinese government guidelines?

Interesting take on the war viewed from China. Comes from a Chinese scholar (so not western). Main take away; China should drop Putin like a rock within a few weeks. https://uscnpm.org/2022/03/12/hu-wei-russia-ukraine-war-china-choice/ Quite a descent analyses, from a Chinese side. It is focused pr...

It's an optimistic view and I would like to share it. But I am afraid things might not go that way. The firepower the Russians can provide is still enormous. Maybe not effective, but enormous. They can (and are already doing so in several places) direct their firepower at the civilian population, ca...

Last night there were attacks reported on Ivano-Frankivsk and Lutsk in western Ukrain. Attacks were most likely carried out with missiles. Both cities have a military airbase which was probably the main target. Russia seems to make a move to suppress flight activities by the Ukrainians in that part ...

I am sure the Russian intelligence will also be viewing sites like flightradar24. But do we really have to present them all this info?

It would be better not to list all these flights in such detail. There is much more at stake than some hobbyists who like to collect lists of airplane numbers !!!

Scary. Of course Russians do this very often and the planes appeared to be unarmed. But things could go wrong quickly in such "confrontations". One pilot switching on his radar, maybe inadvertently causing a lock, next pilot responding etc etc. With the present tensions this is very dangerous behavi...
