So many jokes can be made. How can they allow fatties to fly an already heavy flanker?
Fighter pilots are supposed to look like this.....
Iceman and Hollywood flew for the USN and made sure the world knew they were physically fit to fly!

You clever-fully bypassed the question put out to Western world on oil imports diversion from Russian market to Gulf oil Market, and somehow started talking about lower prices.That India would not have had to raise its oil imports from Russia if Western world didn't go all out with full of money bags to buy whatever stock supply from Gulf produced. If Europe could bring down their import of Gulf oil down to pre-war levels, India might be more accomodative of Western mutual interests and it could look for other available sources of oil.
The oil price is right here, it hasn't doubled at all.

And let's be honest about this, it very much isn't just the import of Russian oil, Indian media has done its best to twist facts completely and portray Putin as something much nicer than what he actually is, to put it mildy.
When our traditional source of fuel supply gets drier due to sudden diversion of Western oil demand from Russian market to our traditional source of oil Gulf market, should Indian people suffer for no fault of ours, just because Europe can have its oil & peace both? That's not an option, Western countries were looking for their own interests without due regard to India and Global South countries, why should Global South citizens suffer for Western world greed and insatiable hunger of oil & gas despite them not only high income per capita but also access to clean energy technology while neither global South countries have high per capita income nor access to clean energy technology transfer from Western countries.
Have we forgotten the greed of Western world countries that they hoarded the COVID vaccines more than necessary while rest of the world suffered for lack of sufficient supply of medicines? Talk about double standards!?!
This really is Top Gun level for their pilots.W....T,,,,F!

The prices I linked are global. You're buying Russian oil because it's slightly cheaper, not because you need to, and certainly not as much.
These personnel are controllers on JTAC and survival training.
Nothing else.
The fact that they work with Mirage 2000s is simply due to the availability and specialisation of the crews at the base hosting the training. One should not look for a complicated link behind a simple situation.
Last news (this morning) was that no pilots are actually trained on M2000, but technicians...
Nothing really accurate on the subject.
Another news read yesterday : with the acknoledgment of uranium shells delivery for Challenger 2, France also explain that Leclerc MBT is fitted with, in small quantities. It was never official.

Wagner-Truppe verliert viele Männer, aber nicht im Kampf
Auf einen Schlag sind Tausende Söldner weg
Wagner troop loses many men, but not in battle
In one fell swoop, thousands of mercenaries are gone
Last autumn, the mercenary Wagner Troop recruited many fighters in Russian prisons. The deal: six months of service in Ukraine for freedom. Now many of them are returning home.
The Wagner group is likely to lose a large number of its fighters soon. The reason for this is that many of them are coming to the end of their six-month contract. According to a US estimate in January, there are about 50,000 Wagner mercenaries in Ukraine, including about 40,000 convicted criminals. Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin (61) launched a major recruitment drive in Russian prisons last year. This reached its peak in the autumn. In addition to a salary of 1,300 US dollars per month, it was agreed with the prisoners that they could buy their freedom for six months of combat duty.
Putin decree makes it possible
Many of the prisoners will soon be able to return home as free men. There are increasing indications that Russia is actually keeping its promise of freedom.
More Information
The British Ministry of Defence also reports on the facts of the case, citing intelligence. The certificates issued to the detainees are legitimised by a decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin (70). Thousands of Russian detainees who fought for the Wagner mercenary group in the Ukraine war are expected to be pardoned and released in the coming weeks, according to the daily Ukraine briefing on Tuesday.
No more recruitments in prisons
It is unclear how many of the fighters recruited in prisons are still alive. British intelligence estimates that about half of the recruited prisoners were killed or wounded. Some of the pardoned prisoners also announced their intention to return to the front for Wagner.
Meanwhile, Moscow no longer allows the Wagner chief to recruit in prisons. The British Ministry of Defence therefore writes that the "exodus of convict forces" would aggravate the already very tense situation in the mercenary force.
What is happening in Bachmut now?
Wagner plays a central role in the town of Bachmut in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, which has been contested for months. Is the mercenary force coming under pressure at the strategically important front point? Apparently, Wagner is having difficulties recruiting. Prigozhin recently announced that 58 recruitment centres had been opened in 42 Russian cities. At the same time, he keeps asking Moscow for support.
Only on Monday, Prigozhin published a letter to Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu (67) asking for reinforcements. According to his information, the Ukrainian armed forces were planning a large-scale offensive at the end of March, beginning of April. The aim, he said, was to cut off the Wagner units from the Russian forces. Shoigu should urgently take the necessary steps to prevent this. At present, according to him, Prigozhin's mercenaries hold about 70 per cent of Bachmut.

I heard they were recruiting another 400,000, because their losses have been so low and all.
