I guess we'll never know ...

Did today's announcement help ?

Am I the only one thinking we're back at the dawn of military aviation in 1915?

Now if only they could develop some kind of interrupter gear to allow the pilot to fire a gun through the propeller disk they could fit a gunsight and cut out the second man….

You'd think they would be better off with a 12g semi-auto and 00 buckshot if they are getting as close as that......?

The Rotax engine is geared. They easily could make a version to fire through the propeller shaft, like on the DB605.

But it all adds to increased costs. Why bother if their present methods work?

In reference to the latest heinous Russian terrorist attack against the Children Hospital in Kyiv, Czech President Petr Pavel released the following statement:

“The attack on the children's hospital in Kyiv and many other Ukrainian cities is proof that Putin's Russia will stop at nothing. Attacking the most vulnerable is inexcusable. I am about to leave for the NATO summit, where I expect a consensus that we all see Russia as the biggest threat for which we must be thoroughly prepared.”

Bloody hell, I don’t know what’s more dangerous, getting shot at or doing the shooting.

Every time I get a feeling of remorse or sympathy for an injured Russian, I will remind myself of the image of the bombed children's hospital and the patients sitting outside.
I hope this Nato meeting brings some real momentum not just talk.

As everyone knows it is always difficult to get any reliable information through the fog of war.
What would be the incentive for the Russian to deliberately hit a children hospital right on the day of a NATO summit?
Not pretending to any privileged information but after Navalny's death on the day of the opening of the Munich conference I am really starting to see too many coincidences...
It any case and whatever the exact circumstances a tragedy that highlights, if needs be, that a solution has to be found to this absurd conflict.
