America will need to take some military action
here in the near future.

[AF68]

It looks like Chavez is planning to extend his communist Bolivarian Republic to his neighbors. Thanks, Jimmy Carter, you commie despot-loving idiot!

[Brilliant]

With no oil revenues, how are they going to pay for them? I suspect that Russia is going to have another uncollectible account on its hands.

[meenie]

Russia, China, Cuba, Venzuela, NK, the axis of communism. Brazil on the way. While we slept, the rest of the world has been busy.

Venezuelan generals have told European diplomatic officials that they need the MiGs to protect the Panama Canal. When asked against whom, the air chiefs wouldn’t specify.

Chavez is a funny fellow, he imagines that he will build Venezuela into a regional leftist superpower. He should remember Grenada and Panama.

If Im not mistaken,this is the second order for the Mig-29SMT,after Algeria.As of now,the most advanced Mig-29s fly with the Malaysian & Indian airforces,though they are pure interceptors.

The Mig-29K is a modified carrier borne fighter,based on the Mig-29SMT.It is being acquired by the Indian navy to use on it's new carriers.It will differ from the SMT in that it has a strengthened undercarriage & more advanced avionics(in India's case,Israeli or French).

No, that can't be. The lefties in this country told us that all Chavez wants to do is take stuff away from the rich and give it to the poor.

But, come to think of it, they never specifically said the rich and poor of Venezuela only...

Um, isn't the Panama Canal the responsibility of Panama? Something about the explanation sounds fishy to me.

No need to worry. We all know how well high tech weapons work for inept and corrupt third world countries. They would lose all these weapons within hours if they tried to mix it up with us. The US and Britain rule Earths atmosphere, period.

The US yes,Britain,well im not sure-they are taking out a huge chunk of their airforce(Jaguars & Tornadoes) & the Eurofighter will not be what it is touted to be till the Meteor AAM comes online by 2010.Id rate Israel in 2nd place .

Venezuela to Buy 50 Russian Mig-29 Fighters

Smart move.
With all the water in the area, Chavez won't even have to dig sand to hide them
once he gets cocky with the USA.

[Just mythoughts]

Little business south of us.

[VOA]

Fox One! Fox Two!

(just had to revel in a nice deja vu moment before Chavez gets the same treatment;
I suspect his Air Force will be about on the par with Libya's)

[COEXERJ145]

Sounds like he is buying some Raptor food.
