Imagine the incidents that must be occurring that we don’t know about.

Things are going to get very interesting after the Winter Olympics are over.

Oh Goody

When do the worthless Pakistani-British call us to save them?

For what? The greater glory of open borders and Muslim domination?

Every surface warship will be done blown up in the first 30 minutes of the next world war.

My guess is that the British Navy will never call you.

Russians doing recon on a new ship they may not have seen in open waters before. Of course they would send a bunch of planes into the vicinity, see if they can get the carrier to light up its defenses, find out how it rolls when they approach.

the top reads like the interactions came IN the Indo-Pacific region, the bottom says shifting focus

The United Kingdom’s HMS Queen Elizabeth carrier strike group has seen dozens of interactions with Russian fighter jets and warships during its current deployment throughout the Indo-Pacific region.

During the forum, Royal Navy First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Antony David Radakin described what he saw as the U.K.’s shifting focus towards the Indo-Pacific region, which he underscoured with the announcement of the recent technology-sharing partnership between the U.S., U.K. and Australia, known as AUKUS.

Happy Daze

Too bad about all my family members dead in The Bulge, or walking up the Peninsula after landing in Sicily, or flying in those 17s out of Britain...once again, to protect the worthless dying plantation of the Battenberg family of runts.

Of course me Orange Irish granny might disagree, but she was disagreeable in general. Anglo-Irish, you know...kinda agitated by birth.

How does a Russian jet know it’s been intercepted if it can’t detect the stealthy jet that intercepted it?

“the aircraft carrier began launching its first F-35 sorties from the Mediterranean into the Black Sea”

You lost the Crimean War over 150 year ago, UK, maybe you should let it go.

Russia lost the Crimean War, not the British.

Shoot at one and these will stop happening.

Of course it’s really just military patty cake.

Except the Russians remained in Crimea and the British left.

Why would the British want to stay in the Crimea? The British and French took Sevastopol, and gave it back after the Russians sued for peace and agreed to demilitarize the Black Sea in the Treaty of Paris.
