Love the military technology discussion guys.

Just wondering, what is this?:

Seriously, what sort of an argument is "they are killing people with Russian passports" is for invading and destroying a country?as I mentioned before, 1/5 of Israel is Russian[yes..that much!] and vast majority of them have Russian IDs, did Russia invade Lebanon to destroy Hezbollah's ability to fire rockets and supposedly kill Russian citizens?no..?

where there any russians peacekeepers in lebano ? no?...

Depends. Certain articles are reliable, then that is the same with most news websites such as the Sun. However why wouldn't you consider them reliable?

they were the first ones to post the video and news on the FF incident with the a-10 and clearly marked Brit armor column.

/if this convo doesn't change soon, this threads gonna be locked.
//either way, here is a mig-29 (i think) shooting down a Georgian drone

lol yea i saw the a-10 video like raping the british column

About the drone i think it is still threat to the russians because its a intelligence uav you can gather up information so its not good for the russians

I dont blame them to shoot it down

led by donkeys? i dont know what youve been watching but i saw an immensely successful incursion by Russian forces who promptly broke the back of a NATO equipped Georgian army in three days and reduced the once defiant Mikheil Saakashvili to begging for a ceasefire once he realised the international community wasnt going to war against Russia for something Georgia started.

Russia now holds all the cards on the negotiating table and nobody, not even the US can do anything other than offer harsh words of condemnation.

in short, this is a textbook military victory of a magnitude rarely seen in todays conflicts, if anything the Russian army deserves respect for learning lessons from Chechnya and applying them so well here.
