"It's all very sad and alarming," Putin said earlier in the day. "And, of course, there will be a response."

"There are lots of volunteers being gathered in the region, and it's very hard to withhold them from taking part. A real war is going on," Putin said, according to his spokesman, Dmitry Peskov.

Russian peacekeepers are in South Ossetia under a 1992 agreement by Russian, Georgian, and South Ossetian authorities to maintain what has been a fragile peace. The mixed peacekeeping force also includes Georgian and South Ossetian troops.

Saakashvili said the Russian invasion of South Ossetia was pre-planned.

"These troops that are in Georgia now -- they didn't come unexpectedly," the president told CNN. "They had been amassing at the border for the last few months. They claimed they were staging exercises there and as soon as a suitable pretext was found, they moved in."
Georgia, located on the Black Sea coast between Russia and Turkey, has been split by Russian-backed separatist movements in South Ossetia and another region, Abkhazia.

If they enter Georgia from Abkhasia or Ossetia the Georgians IMO have to be assisted by EU and US, arms and supplies is the minimum.

Not alot, so long as it stays in South Ossetia. Probably a few warnings, some talking at the UNSC, maybe a statement of condemnation.
If it moves outside of South Ossetia, then who knows?

Another picture from the skies of South Ossetia (according to Reuters)

Looks like a MiG-31 to me...

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Too true. Still, there's going to be a lot of heated words across the interwebs between those who support Russia and those who have bad memories of Russia. Militaryphotos is already pretty much on fire :rotfl: So I'll get in here before the moderators and say, easy does it chaps.
