Ukrainian equipment placed in reserve is now too costly to rehabilitate and place in service

Here is an interesting photo-report from the airbase "Ukrainka" during VVS day. Had a lot about long-range and strategic aviation. I highly recommend checking it out.

I love the TU-95 Bear aircraft, particularly the TU-95MS6

I have a 1/72 scale model of one I am going to build some day...as soon as I make room!

Hehehe...I will need a whole new room to show off my large aircraft in 1/72 scale. I have:

TU-95MS16 Bear
TU-22M3 Backfire
TU-160 Blackjack
B-52H Stratofortress
B-1B Lancer
B-2 Spirit
XB-70 Valkyrie
B-36Peacemaker (the largest of them all!)

Like I say, it will take an entire room just to display those eight babies when they are all finished. The wife has to approve and allocate the space before I can build them. LOL!

You and I, both brother. There is something about the Tu-95 that has a very high “cool” quotient.

More, high res pictures from the JS Kaga, DDH-184, launch. the second Izumo class carrier. The JS Izumo, DDH-183, and the JS Kaga, DDH-184, were launched almost exactly two years apart. great work by the Japanese shipbuilders.

Here...let's punctuate what the JMSDF has done. Outside of the US Navy, I do not believe anyone else can line them up like this:


JS Hyuga DDH-181

JS Ise DDH-182

JS Izumo DDH-183

JS Kaga DDH-184

​
The Japanese have now launched four of these carriers since August 2007. That's four in eight years. Pretty good rate:

JS Hyuga, DDH-181, 8/22/2007
JS ISe, DDH-182, 8/21/2009
JS Izumo, DDH-183, 8/6/2013
JS Kaga, DDH-184, 8/27/2015

Here are some pics of the Australian Amphibious Ready Element (ARE) training with the HMAS Canberra and MHR-90 helos and her LCCs.

They are pics right off the Australian Military image page:

The caption for them is:

Australian Defense said:
HMAS Canberra off the north Queensland coast with 5 MRH 90 aircraft on deck and her four Landing Craft deployed. The Australian Amphibious Landing Force based on the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (2 RAR from the 3rd Combat Brigade in Townsville) and MRH-90 helicopters from the 5th Aviation Regiment, also from Townsville, combine with the Navy's HMAS Canberra and embarked MRH-90 flight from 808 Squadron, and Royal Australian Air Force assets to conduct a series of amphibious training activities in North Queensland.

They are VERY clean pics...meaning no real to life operations, with all of the personnel necessary to launch/recover or board those helos, or in the LCCs. However, they are nice pics.
