They will be. Now if you could just spare a litre of diesel?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Can’t say I have.
I know an ex-UK forces member who got a flight out to Eastern Europe to cross the border. So odds are quite high. How many? Who knows.
Is it from Lord of the Dorks?
If you randomly start a war and alienate yourself with the rest of the world, you save loads of money, as building a wall to prevent foreigners getting in becomes redundant. Genius, fecking genius.
Doubt it. You get foreign fighters in every war. Some will be ex military/special forces, some will be ordinary people moved by the plight of the Ukrainian people and some will be British Ukrainians. Remember that there were a lot of Ukrainian refugees that came to Britain after WW2 so people with Ukrainian heritage are more common in the UK than a lot people probably realise. My nieces are part Ukrainian and there’s a Ukrainian church not far from where I live.
We also allowed ordinary citizens to fight in other wars/campaigns. Perhaps most notoriously Salmon Abadi, who carried out on the bomb attack at the Ariana Grande concert in Manachester, was thought to have to have been in Libya and trained by a militia there. It can have blow back.
Wow.
Warcraft and Lord of the Rings are some major franchises featuring them, yeah
Not even sure that he knows yet.
Yeah. I should add I have not seen it before this particular conflict. I have seen tweets claiming to show the Azov battalion coating bullets in pig fat for the Chechen “orcs.”
I don’t know how much of this is true and how much is propaganda. Or how it might otherwise be used in Ukraine.
But that’s the only other time I’ve seen it used.
Re LOTR orcs plenty of people have discussed Tolkien and race before if you’re interested
It doesn’t seem like the poster here was describing orcs from either two franchises, sad to say. Could be wrong though.
Russian jets are being shot down by highly sophisticated surface to air missiles.
@Dante Zelenskyy and head of states that are supporting him will not recognize Crimea or separatist areas as part of Russia or independent countries. We all know what Ukraine's POV on this is. Their president is in a city that is being bombed. Nothing will be given to the botox face. Absolutely nothing. Today's talks have shown that. Moreover, sanctions are getting tougher, half of the world are openly sending arms to help Ukraine kill attacking enemy forces. So, if botox grandpa is up for it, the rest of the world is up for it too. Psaki said just as much recently.
Russia is done or will be by the end of the week.
Its like the downfall video right now when Hitler realizes he's fecked.
I have a friend who has lived outside Russia for quite a few years. Loved it.
But he's spewing out the Putin gov't lines of Nazi Ukrainian govt etc. Russians getting killed/targeted in eastern Ukraine.
Yeah, but the Russians have no batteries. Well maybe 1 to go around.
Google has disabled the live traffic feature for Google maps in Ukraine
And what range do they have?
Wouldn't call the Stinger that sophisticated. But they are also using nasam , so I guess it can go to the sophisticated category, although it's not "highly sophisticated " as for example THAAD. That being said, and to my original point, there have been several reported air to air kills.
how the heck you dont know what an orc is
Trump is an narcisisstic arsehole but he never did something even remotely close to this.
The ones I used went out to 6-8km, although obviously bigger objects at that distance. No clue what's used now. This gives an idea, but with zoom.
No disagreement there.
Simo Häyhä, the GOAT sniper, The White Death!
I cannot wait for the next general election.
This dude has been a goldmine the last weeks.
Picture the scene. He pushes the big red button marked "Fockin Nukes Innit" and sends the world back to the stone age. As he looks around the bunker he sees dozens of his Yes Men coughing away. One of them tells another that Tucker Carlson told him that it's just a flu so he'll be okay. And then it hits him. Hopefully a fecking bus
Fun fact the actor who played Gothmog also played Lurtz AND the Witch King

And you think the Russian military can afford this stuff? They don't even appear to have have gen 1 night vision for their troops currently in the Ukraine while I can go to Cabela's and buy gen 3 shit (albeit for $3-4k).
Some are already there.
And more are on the way not only from the US.

Depends on what model. The newer ones, for what they are, are still very decent.
No, much outside of SOF I doubt it. But they will have sensors good enough on their more modern air assets I expect.
Not just those, but it is reported that British anti aircraft missiles have been used to shoot down some Russian jets:
