Like in the good old Soviet times.

A sense of pride immediately arises when the news speaks not about Uncle Sam in the Middle East, but about Russian forces capable of defending national interests outside the country and taking part in real hostilities.

A long time ago this was not.

[Vitaly Anisimov]

Well, don’t know .. the government is with them .. see.! It would be better at first ... I think, and there the exercises ...)))) Everything is complicated!

[PValery53]

To teach them NOT to betray in historical moments HISTORY, as the Bulgarians know how.

[Baikonur]

how they did it, do "almost" EVERYONE who "seems to be" "WITH US"!

Still, I will repeat the TRUTH, forever incised in granite blood FOREVER:

Russia has NO allies except the Army and Navy!

And it was not, and will not be!

AND CAN'T BE!

[ssn18]

Truth is truth.
That's just how to put it into the heads of all compatriots and preferably once and for all.

[PValery53]

Sorry for the tautology.

[Black Colonel]

In-in! Perhaps the Serbs are being prepared in joint raids over Syria. The terrain is similar. It makes no difference to the Turks who will scare them away.

But what a cool airplane, not the An-30, spotter, not bad.
Where is the navigator sitting, a cap of glass, a plexiglass? or like him. According to goldfinches, he examined the area above Almaty.
And also on the An-12, a cool place with a radio operator or a navigator.
They do circles for 2 hours when daytime flights, it is not interesting at night except for streets with lighting that is not visible.
For that in the cockpit "koldostvo", especially before preparing for the departure. Lights, no fuss, muffled light and sound. Now by car if I go somewhere at night, the same situation. Romance...

[ssn18]

Yes, he is not only a light bomber. This is generally a unique car. In connection with the end of the assigned resource, the An-24 (the last side was launched in 1979 + 25 years of the designated one) has been running the An-10-26 program for 100 years. Those. bathrooms are installed on the An-26, somewhere they change the SU and APU TG-16 to RU-19A-300. Irkutsk and Rostov-on-Don plow. They are intensively looking for a complete set of bathrooms, ladders and more.

I read an anecdote here when the escort fighter pilot asks the refueling pilot on the walkie-talkie (after several hours of flight):
-Watch what I'm doing (doing several aerobatics), and what can you do?
-And I'm not doing anything. I just sit on the toilet and smoke ... The answer followed.

But what about the Ukrainian new helicopter brazenly stolen from the museum Bell-47?
And what is the advertisement:

Another advantage of Lev-1 is the ability to fly at low altitude. At the same time, a low noise level and a small lateral projection area atreduce the likelihood of helicopter detection. Due to this, it is also more difficult to hit, noted at the enterprise.

Let them practice it. It may come in handy over time.

[Samarskiy]

That's right, then it will come in handy when liberating Kosovo from the bearded.

[Arktidianets]

Well, I don’t know, the military are friends, but their politicians behave like corrupt women.

[Polite Moose]

It is a pity that during the time of Milosevic, such exercises were not carried out.

In Serbia, after the NATO aggression as part of the Air Force, only 4 MiG-29 and 1 MiG-29UB remained. One of the MiG-29s was lost in a plane crash on July 7, 2009, the pilot ejected but died in hospital. Of the remaining, one of the "single" could not fly for two years (serial number 101). There is a suspicion that it is fragmented due to parts (so others can fly). To date, there are only three MiG-29 fighters in combat readiness (two single ones with side numbers 18102 and 18108 and a "spark" with side number 18301).

These cars were released in the 1987 year. In addition to them, in good condition there is only a single MiG-21bis fighter aircraft, transferred to Yugoslavia in the 1983 year.

The only flying fighter MiG-21bis Serbian Air Force (tail number 17409)
And for a long time neither the MiG-21 nor the remaining MiG-29 could take to the air due to the lack of ... batteries.

2.9.2014 /
Vladimir Putin raised the Serbian aircraft in the sky
All MiG-29 and MiG-21 fighters of the Serbian Air Force will be able to take off again! Batteries for them gave Putin personally.
“We painted a tender, but Russian President Vladimir Putin personally insisted that they were given to us and they arrived in Belgrade last night,” said Serbian Prime Minister Alexander Vucic.
According to him, it will take all 36 hours to prepare the aircraft and tomorrow they will be back in service.
“I am very grateful to President Putin for the gift,” Vucic said, according to him, thanks to Putin’s gift for the first time after a long break, Serbia again fully controls its sky.

True, in 2013, negotiations began on the purchase of an 6 MiG-29М / М2 on credit, but it's still there. while the Serbs are going to buy 2 Mi-17 / 171.

But the Serbs are not in NATO? I just don’t know who their circle is in their bugger!

[TanakaKenshin]

No, they're only in Partnership for Peace. Until recently, we were also listed there.

[Vitaly Anisimov]

We remember everything ...

What did YOU do? "Remembering" chatterbox.

And the weakest answer to the question?

Once, not so long ago, the army of the SFRY (Former Yugoslavia) was the strongest in the Balkans. While blooming Yugoslavia has not been made a working model for the collapse of Russia. The consequences of the Civil War in Former Yugoslavia (its disintegration has been going on since 1990 under the strong influence of an external factor) - this was a significant event for Russia when the Slavic Orthodox people were liquidated.
The time is coming for Russia to return to Eastern Europe (including the former ATS countries), where they have already compared "Western charms" with the Soviet period, their status and position at that and this time.
And the Serbs have leaders no better than we did during the time of Yeltsin and the company, we should not judge them about this, because it wasn’t better for us and we betrayed them then, and not us (from the withdrawal of peacekeepers to the refusal of air defense). So, dear ones, do not judge, but you will not be judged.
The Serbs did not and will not betray us, no matter what. Even when the NATO forces slaughtered them in a crowd (Republika Srpska in Bosnia in 1995 and Union Yugoslavia, Serbia in 1999), they believed in Russia.
But our influence must be returned, restored and strengthened in the Balkans. This is what many expect.
And this can be done only by starting with the strengthening of Serbia and the return of its former territories.
The crowd on one now Russia will not allow to attack and will regain its own.
I dare to reinforce my judgments by the experience of communicating with Serbian brothers during peacekeeping operations in the Former Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Kosovo and everywhere else.
Allow, dear forum users, to recommend to you, the works of domestic authors and eyewitnesses and participants in the events of the 1990s in Former Yugoslavia, the tragic fate of the Serbian people and their history. You will not regret. Fortunately, there are many materials on the Internet.
The times will soon come when the foe will be afraid for an alliance with Russia, and the dialogue "with partners" will be conducted from completely different positions.

Let them train - Kosovo must be returned to its home harbor!
