        I think these are not competitors even to the old Mi-24, so the help (possible) of the IG, the eaten up egg is not worth it. Apparently the partner made an offer to buy junk, but there was no where to put the money.

      The price includes the estimated dollar inflation. The mattresses are losing their positions, they themselves understand this. Well, how in the very near future for a dollar tip can you get rid of even a waiter in Nigeria?

    The film immediately remembered "The Fall of the Black Hawk". Cool movie. A DVD with a movie takes up one of the shelf spaces.

    Fuss has begun, taking this opportunity, some want to bargain with something to please earn money, while others get kickbacks on this. Business, nothing personal?

    Several dozen Cuban soldiers and officers will soon arrive in Damascus to help the army of Bashar al-Assad. This is written by Al-Jazeera. According to the publication, their main task in Syria will be training local soldiers and recruits in the use of weapons and control of various types of equipment.

    The US legislative branch now has 30 days to study a new arms contract with Riyadh and its possible blocking.

    And the Saudis thought that money was in the morning, and chairs in the evening. Something like that...

    KSA urgently needed to untie their hands in Yemen. Helicopters against guerrilla units - the most effective way.

    Who explained to me ...
    For a long time it has been written that the Saudis "threw off" oil prices in order to ruin American business in this direction. This article also mentions supplies, albeit in which the Yankees are interested in the arms trade.
    Here ... it reminds me of our situation, when Poroshenko fiercely hates us, and today I saw Roshen candy on the counter, and my Novosibirsk is not close to Ukraine, our government is only concerned with the question “HOW TO REDUCE GAS PRICES IN A COUNTRY if I had an atomic weapon, I would have destroyed it without hesitation ...
    Oh, and "diplomacy", gore her a mosquito, in the best forms of betrayal ...

      I think this is for the operation in Yemen. It's time to put MANPADS there.

    If it is for a "skirmish" in Yemen, then it is reasonable, but if for IS ... a waste of money.
