Another Putin feel good initiative. Would make for a good photography trip though.

Knida miss the military parades that the USSR used to have, I can just about remember them on the news when I was a kid.

Hi, I did get to see the tanks and artillery in Red Square, in 1995, during the 50th Anniversary of the Great Patriotic War.

That must have been very cool

Just another sign that things in Russia are becoming more and more like the old Soviet Union.

Tanks return to Red Square, Missiles return to the Bay of Biscay

So, when are we remilitarising the Fulda Gap? :hmm:

Fulda Gap? Nah, no more. Try the Estonian-Russian border

Actually, I bet they won't remilitarise the border. Certainly it won't become Fulda. The Russians got at least as much hostile border as they had as the Soviet Union, and a whole lot less resources to guard it with. Short of sharply extending conscription back to the good old pre-1967 days of 3-4 years, they'll never come close to scraping the correct amount of men...

Oberon · 01-24-08, 11:05 AM

Yeah, I highly doubt things'll get that bad, it's just Vlad flexing the muscles and raising national morale. If we had much left in the way of military muscle then I dare say we'd flex it back, but in the meantime it's back to the old "Russia acts, we react" times.
Must make life in the Northern RADAR stations interesting... :hmm:

steed thanks for the 1945 victory videos.. ive been looking for em.. hehe i already downloaded them

Redbrow · 01-24-08, 07:40 PM

hell I miss the Soviet Union as an enemy! Two steel knives rubbed together makes for a sharp edge. And their last great plan of dealing with the US, three wave nuke attack, followed by SS-9s loaded with 50 different types of super bioweapons (if one didn't get yah the other 49 would!) was just so total war - I am almost sorry I missed it!
