    actually quite a few have fallen out the skies in recent years and our Tornados have done a lot more flying hours than the Russian SU-24s and the last Tornado built was 1998 the bulk of the RAF's fleet was built in the 1980s

    but to be fair all of RAF's Tornado fleet got mid life upgrade in 1993 to GR4/GR4A standard snd is now in the moment 59 Tornados are going trough another upgrade mostly in avionics

    http://www.shephardmedia.com/news/defence-notes/farnborough-tornado-will-go-out-style/

    while as i understand till now no Su-24 in syria operated by VVS is a M2 upgrade of 2000 but a M upgrade of 1979...

    I am not 100% sure but the Su-24M2 upgrade was proposed by sukhoi which never came to be due to costs and instead, the Su-24M's got a different upgrade - overhaul of frames and engines but key part was the SVP-24 Gefast & T upgrade. For some reason Wiki has it as M2, but I never saw an actual indication name for this particular upgrade. With M2 being different.

    Oooops, the British have been summoned to the headmaster's study.

    MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the ministry, the military attache said, he had no information on the issue and would provide an official reply in the nearest future.

    "Today, the military attache at the British Embassy in Moscow was summoned to the Russian Defense Ministry, where he was handed a note with a request to provide official explanations on information, published in the British media, citing high-ranking sources in the Defense Ministry of the country, on alleged directives to use weapons against Russian aircraft 'in case of threat to their lives,' received by Royal Air Force pilots," the statement read.

    Earlier, a UK defense source told the Daily Star Sunday tabloid that British and NATO pilots reportedly had been given a clearance to shoot down Russian jets over Iraq.

    UK defense sources stressed that RAF pilots have been told to avoid contact with Russian jets "at all costs," but warned the pilots must be prepared to attack Russian jets "if their lives depend on it."

    I actually find that you get more truths from their (reporters) twitter comments to each other then the scripted editor controlled version. A major attack on democratic values from the "man"!

    Difficult to call on that one. Needs the approval of Parliament which does not really like illegal acts. It said no the last time.

    Neutrality wrote:Something that comes to mind.

    Let's take the tragedy in Turkey yesterday in which many people were killed. If I'm allowed to speculate I'd say that the Kurds are going to be blamed for this massacre. Why? Because Turkey realizes that a Kurdish autonomy/de facto nation in Northern Syria is unavoidable and it's time to do something about it while it's not too late. I believe Erdogan is afraid that as soon as Western Syria -all the way to the Turkish border- is liberated by the SAA, that Assad is going to strike a deal with the Kurds to establish a true Kurdistan in that region. This could also mean that Erdogan, if he's really going for that option, is going to better arm Assad's "moderate" opposition under Turkey's air force protection.

    Last part is doubtful if you consider the heavy Russian AA defenses in Syria.

    Blaming the Kurds for the attack on the peace demonstrators is pure Orwellian newthink. This is the same meatheaded BS as ascribing the
    MH17 downing to Russia. What f*cking motive would either have for committing such an atrocity? Just to conveniently offer up the NATO
    MSM "proof" of their evilness? I refuse to abide by the NATO propaganda machine downplaying of motive. Motive is the root of action and
    it is clear that there are parties in Ukraine, Turkey, Syria and elsewhere who have plenty of motive to stage false flag attacks to advance
    their agendas. The NATO MSM would have everyone forget this inconvenient truth.

    That Jewish accent is Horrible, looks like French people learnt Russian.

    He doesn't have a Jewish accent at all, pure Russian - it's just he uses some Israeli mannerisms; like a kinda Hebrew way of talking and phrasing some things - but in Russian. But his actual accent and pronunciation isn't Israeli.
    He talks a little funny in this video but that's probably coz he has a cold or sinus blockage or something.

    It would be foolish to underestimate the RAF; like the rest of the British military they are constantly underbudget, but tend to get things done.

    I think Russia would be wise to deploy extra anti-aircraft systems and air superiority fighters if there is a real danger of confrontation; the Russian MoD would certainly not underestimate any threat and would take whatever measures are necessary. But my inkling is that it was simply unfortunate wording by British sources.

    Those British tabloids are fucking HORRIBLE. They are just publishing massive amounts of misinformation (that's what you can call it) about Syria and Russia. Clickbait headlines, quoting "anonymous experts" (and it seems that often they are just making it all up), ridiculous overdramatizations... JUST STOP!

    "The Russians have started bombing ISIS: The terror group might get destroyed within hours!!!" Seriously... hours!? WTF?

    "Turkey shoots down a Russian jet!!!!" No Russian MIG-29s in Syria? Who cares! No reactions from Turkey or Russia? Doesn't matter, gotta get those clicks!

    "RAF Tornados are ready to shoot down Russian planes!!!" Which to me just seems a very dramatic and politically incorrect way to say that the British planes in the region have been equipped with air-to-air missiles, just in case.

    And the problem is that that is working perfectly for them. That BS is spreading like wildfire and the articles are getting massive amounts of shares.
