Alfa, the RVV-AE is an export missile only supposedly using commercially available components due to original manufacturer AGAT being located in Ukraine after the USSR splitup. The RVV-SD is the new domestic all Russian and improved version.
Several cruise missiles fired from the Russian navy yesterday detonated inside Iran.
meanwhile Assad's regular army advances its armoured columns under the protection of RuAf but the rebels are picking them up as they show up with little difficulty (using western anti tank missile systems).
All this is very reminiscent of the Afghan campaign in the 80's. I am baffled by this strategy.
Correct me if Im wrong but france wasnt always part of NATO?
It is interesting as many non nato countries operate this plane. Peru, Taiwan, EAE, Egypt (and for a few years brazil as well) to name a few.
