What a time for China to invade Taiwan they have always wanted it lock stock and barrel, that would stretch the NATO Alliance to keep an eye on.......................you never know Ovidio, you could be right, I like Chinese food so I'll go south, to support the solitary British Royal Navy Frigade in the South China Seas!!!
Massive NATO Exercise started last week in the Northern Hemisphere too!
'Tonight my men and I have been through hell and back again, but the look on your faces when we let you out of the hall - we'd do it all again tomorrow.' Major Chris Keeble's words to Goose Green villagers on 29th May 1982 - 2 PARA
Is not the pic in post 1 "separatists" allied to Russia, indicated by the white arm/leg-bands?
Pretty sure it is a separatists, although I thought the white arm/knee band was an area thing (like the Z marks etc on vehicles) as there was a video on Twitter showing what looked to be of a formation of Russian troops, walking through an area of Kherson, and they were wearing those white ties around one knee, and the way they were equipped and behaving they actually looked like they had a bit of training, rather than some of the mob were seeing in some clips.

It looks brand new...!
Doesn't seem to the usual dark crappy shellac finish usually associated with ex-Soviet stuff.
Just the thing for putting round holes in square heads.
The Russians really are facing anyone and everyone capable of picking up and aiming a firearm, there was a guy well in his 80's on the news the other night, strip cleaning his AKM!
God bless the Ukrainians, their resolve and true grit is truly humbling...
