The Minister of Defense of North Macedonia announced the agreement on the transfer of Mi-24 attack helicopters to Ukraine

Ukraine will still receive Mi-24 helicopters from North Macedonia, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic agreed on the transfer of rotorcraft to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was stated by the Minister of Defense of the Republic Slavyanka Petrovskaya.

North Macedonia decided to satisfy Kiev's request for the supply of 12 Mi-24 attack helicopters from the Republic's Air Force, although just two days ago the country's Ministry of Defense refused to answer a question about a potential transfer of equipment to Ukraine, saying that they were "analyzing" the Ukrainian request. Apparently, the analysis showed the need to supply the Mi-24 to Ukraine.

So far, there is no other information other than the approval of the transfer. Therefore, there is nothing to write about the delivery time. True, there was a little more information about the state of the Macedonian helicopters. As it turned out, four out of twelve vehicles underwent modernization, in which they were adapted to interact with NATO forces. They received new avionics, Aviators night vision system, navigation system and infrared lighting. There are no data for the remaining eight.

It is noteworthy that in 2001 North Macedonia bought these helicopters from Ukraine, which was selling military property left over from the Soviet Union, right and left. And now I have to return it. It was the same with four Su-25 attack aircraft, which North Macedonia handed over to Kyiv last year. They were also from "Ukrainian reserves".

As previously reported, Kyiv sent Skopje an official request for a potential supply of 12 Soviet-assembled Mi-24 helicopters. To date, there are almost no attack helicopters in the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, all of them were destroyed in the first months of the NMD. Now the main Ukrainian helicopter is the Mi-8.

Welcome to recycling .. Russia remembered!

Excuse me, but what is the help?
Let's, as expected, declare war on Ukraine. If there is a war, then yes, everyone who helps Ukraine will be its allies and we can safely bomb the same North Macedonia.
But if some kind of ridiculous SVO is announced, with bosses changing every month and incomprehensible goals, then you have to sit with your mouth shut and carefully listen to Konanshenkov's tales.

[Michael67]

Whose will you be "Denis812 (Denis)"? How do you broadcast: "As expected - we will declare war on Ukraine," etc. Who is supposed to? Have you already agreed with the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Commander? Stop these type of Napoleonic motives. You will be known for this ... How is it ..? In short .., you will be known. And further! (re-read your opinion) Here is yours: "But if some ridiculous CBO is announced ..." what are you talking about? Do you generally understand what you are talking about?

[Vladimir M]

Just Denic812 is 200% right. If we had declared war on Ukraine, we would have every right to destroy the weapons supplied to Ukraine at the border. Now Ukraine has seized and is already holding our territories, in the same Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. Well, you can't be "a little pregnant."

I will reveal to you a terrible secret Russia from the very beginning of the NMD destroyed and destroys everything that comes to Ukraine immediately after crossing its border.

If you are going to bomb the border of North Macedonia or this country itself, then I will risk disappointing you, because Ukraine does not have a common border with Macedonia, and declaring war on Ukraine does not give the right to freely bomb NATO countries.

Or can we immediately declare war on NATO for the supply of MI-24 helicopters to Ukraine?

Aiding the Nazis.
Nazism and fascism are absolute evil.
It must be burned. Fully.
The crimes of the Nazis and their accomplices should not be forgiven "behind the prescription of years."
And this position must be clearly defined.
Countries must themselves get rid of their Nazis. Otherwise it won't help for long.
Therefore, not a war, but sanctions. Rigid. Complete cessation of all economic relations.

dreamer. You can only bomb anything by declaring war on this, namely North Macedonia, and given the fact that this sub-state is in NATO and the presence of the 5th NATO amendment, we get a high probability of a direct war with NATO.

The only thing that is indisputable here is the complicity of Macedonia to that very Ukraine.

Here are the Slavic brothers for you.
I have long understood that not all Slavs are brothers to us.

[Nexcom]

Forget about this "brotherhood". There is a new division of the world. And everyone is trying to grab the maximum. Including the supply of arms.

Everyone worries about his seat first of all. Including Chinese partners.

PS The DPRK sent a batch of its specialists to our university for advanced training. Whoever has the fuse to go to the end is the North Koreans.
They have no liberals and they have nothing to lose either.

[Michael67]

Disagree. Brothers SLAVES are and will be. Don't forget about the power of the Western tsipso. They spend millions so that you and I think that in Europe it was not SLAVES that originally lived, but pederasts (ugh, forgive me) God.

Well, about "brothers" and "fraternal peoples" - it's only in our country they like to talk on TV. But in fact, after the start of the NWO, relatives here and there ceased to be relatives.

[multicam]

But what can we say about the Macedonians, if AG Lukashenko, in an interview with Chinese television, directly stated that Belarus constantly participated in wars foreign to itself. As an example, he cited the invasion of Napoleon, who went to Russia, but at the same time passed through Belarus. How is that? Was Belarus a separate state in 1812? After such statements, you begin to think not about the question of who Belarusians are to us, but who we are to them and for them

The rest of the Bulgarians, Poles, Czechs, Slovaks ... do not even suspect about "relatives" from Russia.
It's time to separate cultural events "Slavianski Bazaar" from interstate relations and trade - there can be no "brothers" or other "relatives" at the interstate level and in commercial affairs.

looks as if something depends on this ministry, they said face-to-face, they are forward and with a song.

[Chief Officer Lom]

Most likely, they considered the question of how much they could (and could) bargain for themselves as a reward for compliance.

[rotmistr60]

North Macedonia bought these helicopters in 2001 from Ukraine, which was selling military equipment

Significantly. In 2001, the Ukrainian military and officials earned money by selling military equipment, weapons, property, and today they are earning again by receiving money from the West to buy the same.

[The collective farm is voluntary.]

The logic of the Macedonians is clear. The cars are frankly old. Soon it will be written off anyway, and in connection with the sanctions, legal Russian spare parts cannot be bought for them. So this sale looks like a trade-in car program.

[Tma197725]

Unpleasant! Every principality of the Slavic tribes wants to rise in this war! The sediment is unpleasant, but to hell with them! And what do they think about building relations with Russia further, they hope to forgive everything again and even give money!? I think they are absolutely sure of it! I don't know, but something needs to be done. It's time for smart heads to turn on their heads! I don’t know their neighbors to play on the contradictions of these tribes, but if you wish, you can dig something. It’s not up to sentiment! So that these microprincipalities are afraid to give away a cartridge from their reserves. For example, Macedonia and Albanians are in trouble, well, you can at least try something!

[Michael67]

Tma197725 (Maxim Trusov). "principality of Slavic tribes" - what manuals did you learn from?

[Tma197725]

Well, firstly, not you, but you, sorry, I didn’t drink vodka with you at the entrance. Secondly, I don’t use manuals, what I think I say. Thirdly, you can consider them independent democratic powers, for God’s sake. I respect your opinion!

[Michael67]

Good. Go "at the entrance" to drink vodka for the "principality of the Slavic tribes." Don't forget to buy hangover pills from the Principality of Slavic Tribes. Health to you. Oh, yes ... Your text with punctuation is a complete disaster.

[Tma197725]

Sorry for the punctuation! The army did not study at the university, work, then service again. And I prefer to drink vodka at home! I think you also need to accept something. I think not stronger than iodine. They say it helps with excessive aggression and extreme excitability. And I get a hangover like all the men of our vast Motherland, excuse me with beer. Well, of course, those who get a hangover!

[Chief Officer Lom]

Quote from Tma197725

You answered your own question. The key word here is "again". The whole history of our attitude not only to those who crap, but also to the most vile enemies defeated, teaches them that if it doesn’t “burn out”, then it’s worth building “Shrek’s cat eyes” for us, and we forgive everything and also money for restoration we give, and then we leave, rebuilding everything at our own expense ....

I agree with you! But you need to try something! Yes, and I think the very fact of such “trial and error” will already make these governors itch in indecent places!

And here SVO? Mi-24 in Ukraine killed time and careless storage.

However, in Russia, things are no better with the storage of aviation equipment.

Dryers were handed over in a non-flying state, most likely they will not fly anymore. Turntables apparently - similarly?

[The collective farm is voluntary.]

The Washington Regional Committee requires subordinate countries to transfer everything movable and immovable to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The pressure is so high that you just can't get away with excuses.
For Macedonians, this option is probably the most acceptable - they transferred AVIATION !!! That's it, get away from us ... And whether this junk flies is another question.

[Fitter65]

Well, what about the right of the final recipient, what is there without the permission of the seller to transfer to other hands??? As we see all the basic laws, rules. agreements - on the side ... Who is there to tell us about some rules? All the foundations of international law were thrown into the trash in March 1999 by the "democratic countries" of the West, and we are trying to comply with them. Really some kind of theater of the absurd ...

In this particular case, they NOT pass them on to someone RETURN the seller (Ukraine sold them to them in 2001) his goods.
therefore LEGALLY the rules of law are respected

[Pilot 55]

We have no friends towards the west. The most important task now is to move NATO away from our borders. And then let them in the West figure out for themselves who is a friend and brother to whom. Everything should be pragmatic, you pay money - you buy what you need, you behave badly towards Russia, fuck you, not a product. You also need to earn. Declare war and all under the root, too, is not an option. Are you ready to live in a country in a radioactive wasteland? Therefore, we slowly descend from the mountain and slowly move the whole herd, there is no need to hurry.

[Asad]

How do you plan to move Finland aside?

[Soldatov V.]

North Macedonia is the country of the squishy. There is no access to the sea. Surrounded by Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The population of 2 million. With any surrounding country will suffer a military defeat. It looks like she does not want to have an army at all, she will rely on NATO. Weapons will be sold to any country who gives money.
Russia with it has exports of 100 million and imports of 100 million dollars. Their policy is that they will be told in the corridor in the EU what they are doing. By and large, they do not know anything about the conflict between Ukraine and Russia and do not want to know.
It is easier for us not to have any relations with her at all, neither diplomatic nor economic, it will be cheaper.

[Mordvin 3]

You have now fully described the country called Russia. Second arms exporter in the world. We even sell to the Turks, with whom we either fought 11 or 13 times.

Actually, that's why no one declared war to anyone after the forty-fifth year.
Therefore xs what did you mean by this "we will declare war"

[opposite28]

The Macedonian Defense Ministry certainly could not do without recommendations from the Pentagon, but the arrogance and stupidity of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry is unrivaled!

[Roman Efremov]

And here on the forum they are still asking: where does Ukraine get aviation from - Konashenkov has already destroyed it 2 times ?????? But from there!!! Some, God forgive me, North Macedonia - and that has as many as 12 helicopters! A whole squadron, if I'm not mistaken? And how many of them are still such small mongrels who have something?

[Mordvin 3]

Quote: Roman Efremov

And how many of them are still such small mongrels who have something?

And how much Russia has sold them aviation, they have so much.

I think it's time to start completely breaking off all relations with such "countries", to recall our ambassador and expel their ambassadors with the closure and liquidation of their embassies.

[Popov I.P.]

Generous, of course, a gift! Only it seems to me that these Mi-24 helicopters in Ukraine do not fly for a long time and will not fly far. If they were bought from Ukraine in 2001, how old are they? After the collapse of the USSR, the new Mi-24s were not delivered from the Russian Federation to Ukraine, which means they are from the Soviet legacy seized by Ukraine, i.e. release no later than 1990., which means they are at best 33 years old or even more.
