Trying to teach Putesy the art of retreating/surrendering.BBC reporting further talks today and that Macron's been on the blower with Vlad.
Noticed a couple of NATO but more USAF from small (DUKE..) to large (LAGR, REDEYE..). Even though I know little about what they're doing (other than some useful info @MonkeyLove provided) it's fascinating following them.4 of the top 5 tracked planes on flight radar are all nato big birds doing circles over poland & Romania. even one keeping an eye on kaliningrad by the looks.
Actually looking at Hansard, the majority of parliament voted to pass the 2018 bill, with Maginsky amendments introduced by Labour to bring in coverage for human rights abuses.I'd expect to see some "headline" legislation when the dust settles, to do just that.
If the original legislation was passed in 2017, then it wasn't a "normal" parliament, a majority govt, or a particularly united Tory party. I genuinely don't remember the legislation re sanctions powers specifically - but wouldn't surprise me if a certain contingent of like-minded MPs such as Grieve, Soubry, Clarke, Woolaston etc voted with the opposition, as was in vogue for them at that time?
Anyway - it's moot now. The law says what it says and the law has to apply. This isn't Russia after all.
there's a decent write up of manpads here, which reckons they've already taken down russian aircraft (still in service like SU-25s) in both Syria and Eastern Ukraine.
seems to be flood of missiles of all types heading into Ukraine right now, this could be a game changer if they can get them up and around Kyiv quick smart.
like you say, helicopters would be well within reach and the russians love using them.

The threat of SAM Systems and MANPADS - Armada International
Conflicts in Ukraine, and in Syria and Iraq, illustrate the threat posed to current, and future air operations exemplified by SAM systems and MANPADS.www.armadainternational.com
Some of the logic on here defies belief"He's probably mad enough to use (nukes)" but you still want to escalate the war to WW3!
Found it… seems on an odd, low level slow & meandering course…Theres a plane on there 'FISH01' near the Poland/Ukraine border, with pretty much 0 information. Not a clue what that means but it's intriguing nonetheless!
Nice use of piss bottles, looks like a HGV laybyIt seems that now US intelligence is suggesting the 40 mile convoy was less of a strategic invasion force and a number of different Russian troop movements that were falling over each other due to issues.
There were gaps in the convoy that may have made it look like they were staggering to avoid attack. But maybe just different units bunching together

I'd say JT doesn't even know there's a war going on, thick as mince.
