Namenlos Ein Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/10/russian-strategic-bombers_n_125535.html The Venezuelan leader said the two Russian Tu-160 bombers will conduct maneuvers and that he hopes to "fly one of those things" himself. Addressing his close friend Fidel Castro, Chavez said: "I'm going to fly a Tu-160. Fidel, I'm going to fly low past you there."O my…

ED Team Groove Posted September 11, 2008 ED Team Posted September 11, 2008 Thanks for the news Hajduk. Guys, i thought as mil sim fans you would be less hystericals about such events. Next there will be some Russian missiles placed in Venezuela to counter Patriots in Poland and radar in Czech republic... Especially as the Radar Shield in Poland and Czech republic cant intercept any ICBMs coming from russia towards USA and most of Europe? The only thing they could intercept with that installation are some MRBMs flying towards France. But hey, WW3 is coming!

RedTiger Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) It's a publicity stunt, nothing more. Geopolitics are a funny thing. Developed nations may not want open war with each other, but they sure do like to say "neener neener neener! Look at what we're doing!" a lot. That goes for everybody, not just Venezuela and not just Russia. Foreign policy as a whole seems to be at the maturity level of a 6 year-old child. :disgust: Now, that being said, I don't blame Chavez for wanting to fly that thing. :pilotfly: Edited September 11, 2008 by RedTiger

monotwix Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 So much news going on, that you might as well take one for a ride. Doesn’t matter which one, politicians want it and I think they just want to fly but they can’t. I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.
