I wonder if these toy plastic soldiers get blown up by a plastic Taliban suicide bomber and get flown back to a sub standard civilian hospital called `Silly Oak` where they get infected by MRSA?

Illegal immigrants found hidden in bins Give that dog an extra treat, the sad thing is, it might as well have been chasing sticks in the local park because they are here now and the Socialists will never deport them and they will get preferential treatment over UK citizens, Vote Labour!
IN the town of Muhajeria 47,000 survivors of Darfur’s violence have hurriedly built makeshift settlements within a hair’s breadth of the razor wire Another lawless Country with a extremely tough task for any peace keeping troops.
Jan. 29 airpower summary: A-10s relieve friendly forces I love these flying tanks. We used to track these aircraft with our Rapier missiles at a training area called Otterburn in the NE of England. We were totally ignorant to the use of depleted uranium they used on the ranges. If we had a couple of these in the Falklands War we would have won even earlier than we did.

You seem somewhat in awe of the A-10 Thunderbolt II popularly called The Warhog because hot shot fighter pilots used to think it was pretty ugly until they flew one and found it a "pilot's airplane". The A-10, however did not fire depleted uranium in the UK nor does it fire DU unless it is on a wartime tank hunting mission. It would have been a great close air support aircraft in the Falklands, though, because it is air-to-air refuelable and has a long loiter time over target plus the 30mm cannon that it is built around along with underwing ordnance. It is not a carrier aircraft, though, so it would have been pretty hard to get to the battlespace. I mainly wanted to make sure that your audience realizes that the A-10 does not fire DU all the time, never did in UK and probably only ever has in Kuwait, Iraq and Balkans. It killed a lot of tanks in the Gulf War in 1991 and more in 2003. For more on DU, please, write me.

ReplyDeleteOf course you can Dickie, you dont have to ask mate, but thanks anyway!
ReplyDeleteHello Roger,
ReplyDeleteWell I wouldn’t say I was in `awe` I just think it’s a great weapons platform particularly for supporting the `grunts` I was told by my Sergeant Major when we were tracking them that the rounds in the chain gun were DP rounds? If this is not correct thank you for pointing this out. One less thing to worry about my health then?
Thank you for you input
Mack.
