Mind you, this equipment is used by the same forces which annexed the Crimea and may have further plans to occupy other parts of Europe.

Keep drooling ... :shock:

These pictures show a problem of today Russian Air Force.

They are out of transport aircraft.

They have as stated in the aviation news since several years to use old storaged planes. Tu-134UBL is such a plane. They are from the beginning used as trainers for bomber aircraft with radars in the nose. Now they have to be used as plain transports.

But the pictures are very interesting because they shows air movements today and who are flying the planes. The pictured planes are used of some of Interior Forces commanders. They should be heavily involved in an Ukraine operation. They were behind the shootings of civil people earlier in Kiev. The worst of worst.

Several of their large units are mobilized infor a coming Ukrainan operation.
They are not a part of European civilization.
