Meaning we will be seeing footage with ISIS running around with anti-aircraft missiles.

Oh great this just made airlines complicated when fly over middle east.

We dun want another mh17. Syria now has s400 and had held AAMs.

Manpad have limited range.. which is good for low flying plane or helis but only certain manpads can reach air liner cruising height. Medium range or long range all can reach. The best way however is to avoid flying those zone to eliminate the risk

S400 is manned by Russia.. i doubt they will shoot another passenger planes without warning unless they willing to take the backlash.

Yes sure, they have a history of restraint.

i thought Ukraine shot down MH17 and then US and its allies blamed it on Russia...

"Vote Trump for peace" they said
"Clinton is the warmonger" they said

This is exactly the kind of escalation that Obama and Clinton was hoping to avoid. Well done, Trumpers
more like the other way round. The investigation board has concluded its Russia already, but the Kremlin has been pushing alternative explanations since the very start: almost every single MH17 conspiracy theory can be traced back to initial broadcasts on various Russian media.

Media reported that Iranian holding company IFIC continues to own a 4.5 percent stake in the German firm.

"Israeli money, Iranian profits," a headline in the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth said Sunday.

ThyssenKrupp told AFP that IFIC owned around seven percent of the company until May 2003, when it fell below five percent, without providing details on the size of its current stake, if any.

Reports at the time said the United States had pressured ThyssenKrupp to reduce Iran's stake to below five percent.

The Iranian state's representative on the company's supervisory board was also removed.

Israel is reportedly negotiating to buy the three submarines at a combined price of 1.2 billion euros ($1.3 billion), to replace the oldest vessels in its existing Dolphin fleet, which began entering service in 1999.

It already has five of the state-of-the-art German submarines, with a sixth due for delivery in 2017, Maariv newspaper reported.

I have the impression that the Republicans are more militant than the Democrats.

The Pakistani army launched a search for a new infantry rifle in November 2015. Preliminary trials took place at the beginning of 2016 with five rifles — the FN SCAR, CZ-806 BREN 2, Zastava M21, Beretta ARX-200 and Kalashnikov AK-103.

The army appears to have tentatively selected the CZ-806 BREN 2.

It’s unclear exactly which caliber the new Pakistani BREN 2 might fire, but initial reports suggested a move toward NATO’s standard 5.56-by-45-millimeter round. However, C.Z. appears to have also offered the BREN 2 chambered in 7.62-by-39-millimeter.

The BREN 2 is versatile and modular enough to meet multiple operational requirements — and could simplify training if Pakistan retains both the 7.62-by-39 and 7.62-by-51 calibers. C.Z.’s rifle is also more cost-effective to manufacture than the FN SCAR or Beretta ARX-200 are — an important factor for the cash-strapped Pakistani military.

The CZ-806 BREN 2 represents a massive improvement in capability and modularity over the Pakistani army’s current Cold War-era small arms. The 806 has the benefit of being a refinement of the earlier 805 used by the Czech armed forces. In 2015 C.Z. made weight and production cost reductions by improving the 806’s manufacturing process.

Following operational feedback from the Czech army, C.Z. made a number of ergonomic improvements to the 806, adding a new folding stock and a non-reciprocating cocking handle and adjusting to the rifle’s ambidextrous controls.

AMMAN, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- AN F-16 fighter jet from Royal Jordanian Air Force crashed Monday shortly after take-off during a training mission, state-run Petra news agency reported.

A "technical failure" was blamed for the crash, which killed pilot Maj. Ayed Ahmad al-De'ajah, Petra said, citing an unnamed official military source.

The arresting gear aboard Russian Navy aircraft carrier Admiral Kunzetsov broke during the recovery of a Su-33 today.

The pilot was forced to eject and was recovered back aboard the ship.

It was reported earlier that another incident over the arresting gear had lead to the crash of a MiG-29KR.
