dispointed final get MD530G

I have reservation towards the decision of acquiring MD530G. Not only that the helicopter doesn't have support facilities that is currently enjoyed by Eurocopter/Airbus helos, it also has lower range and minimally equipped, something that Afghani pilots complained during operation against Taliban.

Somehow, I'm interested with Airbus LAH helicopter. It could double as attack helicopter as well as troop transport and is cheaper than dedicated attack helicopters. Even the market segment is geared towards countries that need a gunship but reluctant to spend on, let say, an Apache

Report: Israel Attacked Assad and Hezbollah Military Bases

ISIL has no aerial power and US is sending F-15C for???

We now have blood on our hands.

I heard that they were intending to keep the hostage for ransom all along, but an attack on their hideout by Philippine security forces forced them to kill the hostage so as to not slow them down during their escape.

Why they felt they had to kill him versus simply cutting their losses and leaving him there is beyond me.

Hmm l heard prc air force copy tech from israel and then israel copy from f-16.

Iraq will not welcome foreign troops into its territory, considers any presence to be 'hostile'



Iraq considers any country sending ground combat forces into its territory a "hostile act" and has not requested such a deployment, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said Thursday.

The US has announced that it will deploy around 100 special forces personnel to Iraq to fight the Islamic State jihadist group here and in neighbouring Syria, while two American senators have proposed tripling the number of US troops in the country.

Iraq "will consider any country sending ground combat forces a hostile act and will deal with it on this basis," Abadi said in a statement.

Baghdad "did not request any side... to send ground forces to Iraq," he said.

It is Abadi's strongest statement yet on the issue of ground combat forces, after he previously said that Iraq did not need them.

It was unclear how or if his remarks would impact the planned US deployment, part of efforts to combat IS, which overran large parts of Iraq last year.

The presence of American ground forces is a contentious issue in Iraq, where the United States fought a nearly nine-year war, and it is politically expedient for Abadi to distance himself from the deployment.

syria war is a mess
