  2. Did that say 23s even shot down F15s? Not aware of any Eagles ever being defeated in combat.

  3. This is a HUGE humiliation for Putin. Syria is important for its pipelines and its position, and now those things belong to the Syrians, not to Putin.

    (If I’m honest, I think Syria is most likely to swing with Turkey, seeing as Turkey’s been giving them the guns.)

    Right now, the issue is not civil war but the risk of genocides.

  4. MIG-23? Russia can’t even field their good shit outside of Russia.

  5. 20 jets stolen from Glorious Ruzzian army?!?!

    Damnit, I’m about to wet myself :P.

    This is what I call “news”!

  6. As long as the Russian assets, including its ‘men’, isn’t allowed to get back to Mother Russia.

  8. MiGs for sale! Cheap! No delivery, you fly out in the range of 1 tank of fuel. Bring your own pilot.
