In tribute to this Russian warrior, later on I will be watching some of those videos on YouTube made by ISIS enablers on the ground probably near Raqqa as the Russians bomb the snot out of the villages, towns and cities. The audio is great with hundreds of “allahu akbar’s” moaned as the ordnance explodes.

YES, by me sating that, I freely admit this Russian pilot had more guts than me. But by the time you are down there amoungst the demons who want to use you for Allahs propaganda, they could have physical control over you. Im not that good hand to hand. I figure I can kill more with a plane load of fuel rammed into their goat humping, I mean, weapons training sessions.

“Initial reports suggested he had been captured, or that he had been killed in the fighting.”

I wondered if this was the same as the one reported a few days ago, and it is.

Instructed todo just that. A pilot with a grenade? Vlad would have to do something if murdered for propaganda purposes.

I imagine that Russian pilots, like our own, equip themselves with a variety of “off checklist” weapons and equipment for just these sorts of events.

When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An’ go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier of the Queen!

Islamics, we’ve known what they’re about for centuries, but most people don’t know history.

Shows how bad the jihadis are. He preferred to kill himself rather than be captured by subhuman savages.

This war they are bringing to us, is not consistent with the rules of their religion. They are not following the guidelines they were given. There are 8 rules Mohammed gave to them:

1. The prohibition of killing women and children

2. Killing of non-combatants such as old people, monks and workers is explicitly forbidden in Islamic scripture

3. The prohibition of hurting the disabled and infirm

4. Islam prohibits the mutilation of dead combatants

5. The Qur’an commands Muslims to show mercy to those combatants who surrender

6. Treatment of prisoners of war is with dignity and care

7. Even the cutting of trees, destroying surroundings and killing animals without reason is illegal

8. There can be no forced conversion

We already know they are breaking most of these directives from the God they profess as a religion(?). If they followed them there would be no be-headings, no rapes to attempt pregnancies, no mass bombings in non-combatant areas killing anyone in the scope, and no torturing. It may be a religion of peace. But it isn’t one they follow. And everyone that supports this is part of the criminal act and should be considered a deviate and not part of a religion. So it does not exist as a religion, but as a sect.

“” “” Instructed todo just that. A pilot with a grenade? Vlad would have to do something if murdered for propaganda purposes.”” “”

In fact for their CAS airmen it is a common practice to toss inflatable from their survival kit in a seat while flying in a desert area. Usually replaced with a carbine and lots of ammo and a grenade is a must for just such sort of encounter.
There were cases in Afghanistan in 1980s when they were giving a fight killing more jihadists while waiting for a rescue helicopter than during the airstrike itself.
