(France and UK scored #37 and #42 !! it's tragicomic it takes some time to scroll down this list to find them)

just look at Syria:
  • no tanks? no breakthrough!
  • no barrage? no breakthrough!
  • think airpower can save a base when enemy is approaching? it can't!
LOL and you may tell me Western AESA radars have more modules or other stuff which vendors sold to you

Incorrect, not reliable numbers for UK, France old of minimum 5 years...it is only a generalist site.

For Russia count stored...
I have posted enough recently :
2700 in service :
350 T-90, 450 T-80BV/UM, 600 T-72B3, 1300T-72B/BA plus 18000 stored but in poor condition.

USA 1300 in serv + 6700 stored
China 7500 " "

...and what can you say about Putin?

That guy is a camera magnet.

Always has to have the macho pictures of him as the great leader.

LOL!

He really likes the lime light.

If you want to make such comments, do so there...PM the people you are talking to and let them know, and then take the converstion to the proper thread.

Thanks...and thanks Jura for pointing it out here.

Again bombing in Syria as usualy 12 x 250 kg free fall bombs vs big/large targets good but not very accurate if they have civils !
In general minimum strike of 6 Tu-22M fly from Mozdok in Caucasus, temporary base.


3 Rgts are equiped with Tu-22M3 :
- 52th Rgt to Shaikovka/Kalouga, 12 Tu-22M3
- 924th Rgtto Olenegorsk/Mourmansk, 12
- 200th Rgt to Srenyy/Irkutsk, 17

Very good recent numbers from a Russian blogger.

AF have 63 Tu-22M3.

How about this model Jeff?
I know it is not Russian, however wouldn't it be fun to fly?

I saw this video before.

it is simply AMAZING!

Those guys have more expertise and a lot more money that I could ever put into my models.

That thing has to costs thousands and thousands of dollars.

If they crash...oh, oops! There goes the savings!

LOL!

But it is super cool and very realistic!
