    "BAF F-16A block 10 #FA-31 is being dismantled at the Rocourt plant in 2005"

    "The first airframes were transported to the 'Centre de Compétence du Matériel Roulant et Armement (CCR&A) / Competentiecentrum van het Rijdend Materiaal en de Bewapening (CCR&B)' better known as the Arsenal of Rocourt (near LièGE) for dismantling. At the end of 2004 the two last operational non-MLU F-16s were withdrawn from use since the MLU program was finished at that time"

    "At Rocourt, the aircraft are carefully dismantled and all valuable parts are recorded and packed. A limited number of parts is recovered by the Belgian Air Force for the maintenance of its operational fleet. The rest will be sold by batches to dealers, technical schools and scrapyards."

    Summary of today's AFU cruise missile strikes on #Kerch

    1) At approximately 1730 local (1530Z), it is believed that four Ukrainian Air Force Su-24M bombers launched eight Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles from positions most likely over the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast between Kryvyi Rih and Dnipro. If true, and it looks like they were used, the missiles would have to be the longer range version of the Storm Shadow/Scalp with a published range of 400km. If the AFU did not launch Storm Shadows missiles, than the weapon used is unknown.

    Simultaneously, UkrAF Mig-29 and/or Su-27 aircraft fired multiple AGM-160 MALD decoy missiles and AGM-88 MARM anti-radar missiles to confuse and attack, respectively, Russian air defenses.

    2) Russian sources immediately began reporting that the Crimean Bridge was being attacked but, locals instead reported explosions and smoke in the area of the Zaliv Ship Yard (45.264263, 36.421571). As a result, it is clear the Crimean bridge was never the intended target in the attack. Instead, it appears the AFU was targeting the pr. 22800 Karakurt-class corvett "Askold" and/or the shipyard itself instead. The ship, which is a Kalibr missile carrier and one of the most modern and advanced vessels in the Black Sea Fleet, was located afloat at the shipyard from which it had been launched in 2021 as is currently undergoing sea trials.

    3) Video evidence from the Kerch area showed Russian air defenses engaging targets and at least one large explosion at or near the shipyard. Russian sources claim that debris from a rocket hit a storage shed or workshop at the shipyard. However, there are multiple reports that the Askold was hit and damaged during the attack but the is no objective evidence of it. Images from later in the evening showed a glowing area similar to a fire near where the Askold was moored.

    Confirmation of damage to the Askold and/or Zaliv shipyard will most likely not be made until clear satellite imagery is available.

    “The ‘Askold’ which was hit in Kerch, did not even have time to take part in hostilities,” Air Force spokesman Ignat said.



    “He went through some final test work there, so that later he would go out and fight against our country.” https://t.co/3sNmGskt60 pic.twitter.com/LKNa1mHtHB

    Say what?


    If you mean sexual contacts, copulation, yes I had. Not so often now as when I was in my 20s. Unfortunately. Why do you ask? Envy?


    Did you hear that old bearded joke about shuttle diplomacy? I am that tall Russian lumberjack.

    As stupid as you seem to be on message boards it seems highly unlikely that even Russian women would have sex with you.

    It's Russia. The women have very limited pickings if they are looking for quality men. So with him being the equivalent to alcoholic trailer trash here, the bottom 3 %, he is pretty much average for Russian society. That is the sad part about Russian culture.

    First pictures emerged of the Russian warship “Askold”, docked in the Kerch shipyard. I believe that those pictures are genuine.

    This is likely a Karakurt Class corvette and the damage is in line with sat pics which were circulating. That is a direct midship hit, presumably by a SCALP EG and so extensive that you can strike that ship from the list.

    The worst part of the attack for the Russian is not even the loss of the ship but that they effectively lost all large dry docks and shipyards which are capable of handling larger Russian warships in the Black Sea. Not even the harbors in Russian can compensate for that and leaving the ships in Crimea just makes them big target practice.

    Again, congratulations to all Ukrainian units involved in that operation. Absolutely professionally executed.
