The Turks didn’t kill enough of them in 1915?

For those that don’t know: The SU-25 is a ground-attack jet, sort of the Soviet/Russian counterpart to the A-10. Much like the A-10, it’s not that good at air-to-air missile combat in its normal loadout.

We’ll see if Russia responds.

Looks a bit like a slightly angrier version of an L-39.

Is this about disrupting oil supplies to hurt the world economy? Is a larger war the intended outcome here? There is no way this conflict was spontaneous between Armenia and that Islamic shithole. This was planned and intended to occur at this time, on the eve of an American election. There has to be some purpose for it that ultimately harms us. Unless they think they can just get away with gobbling up territory while elections are ongoing?

Evidently the Armenian AWACS was not airborne. (Kidding.)

If you are a slow SU21 near the ground, you are playing the role a fat seal in the water when an F16 enters the area.

Now we will see how the Russians “new stuff” works against the NATO standard stuff.

I hope we can get an F35 to test in this mess. (I am kidding...I don’t want any US jet anywhere near this shit show.)

Russia might take offense to Turkey flying direct missions in support of their proxy.

Certainly I hope NATO declares Turkey the aggressor in this conflict and NATO support will not be forthcoming.

And the US should declare it publicly.

That is what you get for flying them damn ruskie planes.

The good old reliable TRUE MRF F-16 Falcon is the best in its class! And even several classes above!

You know what I’m wondering? (And yes, this is just speculation. But who’s to say it COULDN’T occur this way?).

According to most prophecy websites, authors, etc., Russia will supposedly participate in the Ezekiel 38 war as God/Magog. Personally, I’ve always thought Vladimir Putin has read the Bible just like we have, knows what Gog/Magog is about, and was too pragmatic to let it happen while he’s in power, just to go after Israel’s oil and natural gas.

BUT .... what if Turkey looks likely to annihilate Azerbaijan, an ally of Russia (assuming the Commonwealth of Independent States still exists)? Likely, Putin would consider it obligatory to defend an ally, and would be less hesitant to bring his military south, since (in his mind) Russia’s purpose would be defensive, not an “official” attack on Israel.

Thanks for your patience with my ramblings, :-)

Only Russia can save Armenians from the Turks & Jihadist head-choppers.

Because Armenians are a prosperous minority in America the USA has to pretend it supports Armenian but Azerbaijani gas and oil and location means the USA will back the Turks.
