Without NATO/USN aircover, I fear TU-22m Backfire or SU-24 Fencer target practice... If the Russian Bear goes rabid.......... Send in the F22’s!

If there is one nation that has really stood up to the Bear after the Georgia tragedy, it has been Poland. I commend it for making a naval presence in the Russians' Mare Nostrum.

Thanks for posting this thread. The pictures are great.
All the naysayers who were calling Pres. Bush an idiot and the like for promising help before getting Turkey's permission to pass can move on to their next project.
