Russia dodged a huge bullet solely due to poorly maintained junk missiles. Shooting down a UK airplane with 30 personnel dead in international airspace would have been a game changer......

If it's true, a novel incentive for Russians to sign up to fight:

Another answer to the question about the aircraft's age can be found, perhaps, at a base in southern England, where a third Sea King, which will be delivered to Ukraine in the coming weeks, is being prepared. We cannot say where the base is for security reasons, but we spoke to two Ukrainian engineers who have been there for seven months, training to repair and maintain the helicopter.
Hardly a secret - only one organisation involved, and their locations are on their website!

It certainly isn't after your post ... perhaps, after re-considering, this is one to delete ... ?
I have never understood why people choose to make comments that are without value, especially when they might do some harm.

Whilst I agree with the sentiment, it's hardly a secret - or even a hushed whisper - it's all over the aviation press, Forbes etc., and it's even mentioned on Britmodeller!

Agreed, HOWEVER, the next one might not be... hence it makes sense to not make it easy for them.

Now you've just highlighted 212's OPSEC blunder! Oh, where will this end?!

Making a bad choice in life that propels you into the afterlife. I bet that surprised him as he saw it fleetingly.

One wonders how long will it take this time for the germans to make up their mind...

Blimey.

What do you think, Russian hit buildings or more like pre mined buildings abandoned to the Russians by the Ukrainians? I know they were supposed to have pre mined some and high rise buildings would make sense.
