The sound of oppression/Freedom, depending on which side you're on. Nonetheless, impressive. Good old Air Assault, Lifters escorted by Attack Helis.

I just kept expecting the cars to crash like normal Eastern European YouTube clips , nice to see Europe getting a doze of its own medicen after they supported an illegal coup to oust a legal government

Vlad the impaler seems to be going soft , according to the News on Monday(today) he want to agree with our Mr Cameron to find a solution without bloodshed................Drat, its ages since we have seen any politicos with wet breeks.

A bit of really strong Sabre rattling would have sorted the euro prats from the good ones..Don't ya think!

Well, from an econometric perspective it appears to confirmed the existence of the 'Hip Curve,' a inverse relationship between the number of Mils airborne and the health of the Russian economy...

Putin’s Ukraine gambit hurts economy as allies lose billions

I heard the same thing said when we saw Flocks of about 125 Hueys heading back to the Main Heliport at Hunter Army Airfield in the late 1960's.....usually about 125-150 at a time....with about to Graduate Student Pilots at the Controls.

Impressive to see....Scary to contemplate the inexperience in mass numbers!

Are those from Polite People Inc? Wonder if all the aircraft are also stripped of their markings. Helis work best in LICs.
