Action, you been to Russia?

Havoc, don’t worry, I have a good knowledge of what’s going on with the polls and also the thoughts of the public.

Rt paid for by who?
Yes there’s another crackpot site calledmilitarywwatchanalysis as well. They won’t even say who or where they are!
The internet is full of self important deluded people who get attention by posting contrarian views.
Only one formally documented aircraft left Ukraine that I’ve seen.

Actionless Jackson, emergencydigest, that well known and respected Nigerian news outlet!
Crackpot ….

Snake island is strategic for the Russians since Moskva was sunk as a base. Ukraine just needs it not to be a base.
Ukraine stated 400 Russian military killed yesterday. Now multiply by 10 days, a hundred days.
Some Russia public obviously support the action while in front of the tv but the supposed percentage is 80% for 20 against. That number reverses when asked if they’d support it if a draft call up order was issued. Funny that eh…

Ajacksonny so you have proof the aircraft came from Romania? Radar trace, video of them departing or returning?
No, just a complete fabrication, lies and a figment of your overactive childlike imagination.
The only Ukrainian aircraft to leave Romania was the one who landed there after the operating base was struck. They were disarmed before being allowed to leave.
If you have proof then post it but not some nut job criminal who started a blog and paid for by RT

Jameski and the magic torch…..

Finbars, it’s not about trade ships it’s warships and subs, the warm waters for the black sea fleet. Besides, someone needs that protection for the retirement home….

Haggis, this is not competing with the business jet market. This effectively is a new market for air taxi ops.
Operators still need an AOC, professional crew and the aircraft to fly.
As for delivery services unmanned, there is a requirement to see how they will operate in manned airspace both controlled and uncontrolled.
But this isn’t an AFC topic so best stick to the sales and development of afc and your oh so tenuous links.

Jeez, that would toast your marshmallows!

The problem with holding physical gold is storage and the fees for buying and selling.

Alicia, you think the arms cross the border and sit in one big shed with a sign “western arms” on the roof…..
Action driblestfish they won’t send in the aircraft and starstreak is waiting for them.
The longer range stuff dropped from the caspian area is almost certainly in limited supply.

Interesting piece on Russian tv

M3, how much do you think they make on that £40 ticket?
The early fares are cheap, later more expensive. Ryanair used to make approx €13 profit in average per seat per sector. And look how many sectors they fly to make the operation a profitable one.
Flybe is a good example of U.K. regional flying. Went bust as it couldn’t make the numbers work.
Urban airport sits at the southern zone to Coventry airport so that cuts off any operations to the north under the current airspace usage rules.
There’s a lot to sort out before this sort of operation gets underway in a commercial sense.
South east England will be a much bigger challenge airspace wise.
But take your own view….

She (haggis) doesn’t seem to have understood the costs of running a Part CAT commercial air transport operation and the costs involved. It’s not like a bunch of freelance Uber drivers or an upscale DJI drone…

If they choose to pay off debt then a big factor is what the interest payed now would compare to any future debt requirements.
Maybe partial payoff and a new revolving debt facility at agreed rates.
And a bigger divi thanks…

MrA there are some real legislative, technical and procedural issues to resolve before UAVs and drone taxis are approved for operations in the U.K.
And the CAA aren’t known for a pragmatic and forward thinking mentality…
First time a cyclist or a motorcyclist gets face planted with a drone will be an interesting court case. Likewise if a vtol taxi has “issues” . This is all assuming a consensus on safe airspace usage is found.

Lat, you missed the biggest thing. Changing sentiment in Russia. If the media are starting to be critical of the military that will quickly make the residents see this for what it is.

Turkey wants F35s and the USA would stop that happening if they block Finland and Sweden joining nato.
