>“NATO airspace? There is no such thing. It’s strange to hear the reports that address us to go to the NATO alliance to clear the situation over the alleged violation because such a notion as ‘NATO airspace’ simply does not exist. It has never existed.”
You can't hide behind your special snowflake clubhouse anymore, NATOfags.
Russian Federation don't play that game.

>>54825629
Russian airspace? There isn't such thing as russian airspace.
>>54825629
Just because he thinks it doesn't exist doesn't mean he can just freely fly around in it with his bombers.
this is exactly like saying "Russian Crimea? there is no such thing as Russian Crimea, it never existed"
>>54825629
Airspace of a NATO member is a NATO airspace. What's so hard to understand?
>>54825629
Ok, now i actually read the article.
>"the 29th of January, another Russian combat airplane violated Turkish—and NATO—airspace,” the State Department’s John Kirby said, echoing word for word his colleague from the Pentagon."
>"Mr. Kirby declined the offer to provide any proof of the Turkey airspace violation by Russian bomber. “It’s not our responsibility to provide proof to the Russians for something they did wrong,” he said to the RT reporter."(that means thry don't have any proof, not even radar or satellite records)
The articles goes on to some russian official saying they won't discuss this with NATO, just with the country that claims violation.
>>54825995
>It’s not our responsibility to provide proof to the Russians for something they did wrong
Love this approach
Funny how every citizen here doesn't actually care about NATO and Russia's little bitchfights.
Russians do suck shit though so I can understand why NATO doesn't like them by default.
>>54826314
It literally isn't.
>>54826738
Does your judicial system also grab random people from the street and makes them prove they're not criminals?
>>54826793
Memes convinced the world that demanding proof is gommunism.
>>54826793
Their police system can shoot and kill you for literally nothing
>>54825629
They're just arguing semantics, because Russia is like that.
There technically isn't any NATO airspace. NATO is not a sovereign entity.
>>54826982
but in russia every random killing by the regime is entirely justified!

Can you explain how there is such a thing as NATO airspace?

Nothing new here. Russians are always trying to force other countries to deal with their shit bilaterally instead of through alliances or unions since they have more leverage that way.
See kidnapping an estonian to use as a bartering chip for prisoner exchange or threatening to let tens of thousands of shitskins migrants across the finnish/russian border unless funland stops being part of the EU sanctions.

>>54827165
Angry much, Abdullah?
>>54826793
I love how Russians expect countries to be very trusting towards their former enemy, as if they aren't spying in the West all the time.
But that's Russian ignorance for you.
>>54827220
Who even gives a shit about Finland or what it does?
>>54825982
>Airspace of a NATO member is a NATO airspace.
Airspace of a UN member state is the UN airspace.
Sounds legit.
>>54827199
So is there UN airspace? CSTO airspace? Olympic games airspace?

What the fuck are you saying?

not true btw, russia has been defeated by much smaller nations before, theyre shitting themselves in ukraine now too, france alone could annex russia in a month or so
>>54827156
There's no such thing as NATO airspace because isn't a sovereign entity.
Have turkish jets flying over Athens or greek jets flying over Istanbul and see what happens.
>>54827384
Oh yes. Sad.
>>54827080
>Nato consists of many countries, each country has an airpsace
Is it true that an airplane of any country which is a NATO member can freely fly in the NATO airspace over another NATO member?
I guess they still have to ask for permission.
>>54827396
Are you autistic?
You seem butthurt.
>>54827447
Can you explain how they've been shitting themselves in Ukraine?
From what I see they have about 4,000 sq miles more land now than they did in 2013.

>>54827128
Kek. Good one.
>>54827080
Still no NATO airspace in existence, maybe during war when Joint Warfare Centre and other NATO bases take control over the war effort.
But there's no NATO airspace, our jets can't suddenly fly wherever they want over other NATO members airspace.
The Turks are violating Greece's airspace all the time, and is a legitimate problem right now.
They're both NATO members.

>this delusion
The US sent some officers from the military to Ukraine to help them train and structure their military against an Russian enemy.
Instead it was the officers that learned how the Russians fight.
The whole VHF specter is jammed 24/7 by the Russians, the main frequency specter most military grade radios in NATO use.
They also bomb anything that even remotely looks like an antenna based on visual or EK scans.
The Russians are a force to be reckoned with.
Those who say otherwise are delusional leftists, or right wing desktop warriors.
Anyone who've served in a NATO country in Europe or America knows this for a fact.
>>54827964
What's the point of destroying and raping something you can just go around

If he's autsistic it doesn't change his argument comparing a military alliance to the UN is like comparing a chicken and an apple.
>>54829521
so what exactly was your point earlier about bombing a village
>>54829405
Russia wanted to stop turkey's plans for safe zoning northern syria by having a presence close to the border, turks blow up jet to counter
>>54827538
>Donetsk and Lugansk were an unforeseen side-effect
It was for seen due to Russian speaking media and an army if Bydlo irregulars who felt confident after Crimea.
NATO collectively disagrees. And because NATO would BTFO of Russia if they ever came to blows I'd say NATO wins
>>54829570
that all the people that looted the pilot's body are dead
>>54829648
Well he's saying that you're not going to have to deal with looters, the body will likely be disintegrated in seconds or at the very least blown to bits
>>54828413
Actually a frequency specter and a frequency band are two different things.
But yes you're retarded if you think that fact alone isn't something that makes the Russian military a force to be reckoned with, typical desktop warriors.
You can have all the firepower in the world, but if you can't coordinate how to use said firepower it will all become useless.
Russians are masters when it comes to disinformation and information/communication denial.
It must also be noted the fact that Russians so easily can jam radio frequencies and have been able so for many years, one can only imagine what other electronic hardware they can fuck up.

Its as if you think NATO has some sort of god defense against Nukes that make all of us completely invulnerable to them.
If NATO went to war with China/Russia everyone would be fucked thanks to handy dandy Mutually Assured Destruction. The only thing that has stopped us from having more world wars.
>>54829702
back in the beginning of the 90s russians were blocking frequency bands where western radio was being broadcast... it took a man with rudimentary radio-engineering knowledge, a soldering iron and about two beers to build a decoder good enough to listen into and tape broadcasts
your perceived value of their frequency jamming is too high
>>54829817
So they wouldn't cutoff booze, interesting. Side note destroying that cheese was beyond retarded for the govt. They should have given it to the poor or homeless.

This is not a judicial system, this is the cold calculus of force.
Rule: don't fly into our airspace
Punishment for breaking said rule: we'll shoot you.
No one needs to prove anything to you, what matters is what the person with the gun decides has occured.

>>54827386
>>all of europe would be speaking German if it wasn't for the US

>>54830395
>Rule: don't fly into our airspace
And how does it apply when there was no airspace breach but there were accusations?
>>54830535
Radars can determine very well if Russians breach the airspace.
>>54830535
It matters not one bit because your plane is still blown the fuck up. All that matters is what Turkey thinks occured. Don't fly so close and maybe they won't think that way next time.
Lesson learned.
>>54830411
Day after sweden joins.
>>54830676
Meanwhile Sweden says they can't join without Finland joining.
>>54830643
So, we have a nice situation here: There's a rabid dog called Turkey that bites whoever it pleases for no good reason. The dog is dangerous but you can't put it out, because this dog is owned by Unca Sammy who's prone to going apeshit and shooting his gun at anyone he dislikes.
>>54829702
Jamming is risky business if your opponent has home-on-jam weapons. The tactics one uses against one opponent aren't necessarily viable against another.
>>54830859
Yup, welcome to reality. Deal with it. Or don't and get your planes shot again, we're fine with either outcome.
>>54830959
Sure, love. Have a nice Jihad
>>54830794
Then I guess it's time to join up again and show russia why northerners were something to be feared back in the day.

Let's hope that your military leaders aren't as retarded as you are.
Because if I had any power, I would petition to throw Estland out of NATO if that weren't the case.
You think this is cold war era technology, and there's absolutely no way to evolve it and make it more potent.
Also you disregarded my other point I made about communication denial the Russians do.
Bombing the fuck out of anything looking like, or acts like an antenna, please tell me your drunk countrymen from the 90's contingency plan for that kind of action.
It's clear that you have no insight in how wars and military works at all, just stop pretending you have knowledge about it and just shitpost about potatoes and muslims instead
It's fine, US will protect us all.

>>54831112
Crimea je Russija

>>54831118
Luckily Russia can't do precision bombing, so no worries about them hitting an antenna. They might hit civilian buildings and kindergartens.
>>54831195
That's how this works irl, it has nothing to do with being hard on the internet.
Reality is if you fly a nuclear capable bomber, into a countries airspace, they will shoot it down. There is no fucking court room they need to go to to prove you were in their airspace. If they feel threatened, they will shoot you.

But Most of them are just like a Christian equivalent of Turks.
And they are extrem Russian-Nationalists, wear Russian uniform (bald+tracksuit+hondacivic with massive optical tuning).
I realy realy hope that Russians fucked them Maiers up realy hard when they were living in Russia.
>>54830881
Which is why jamming is only one of many options Russians have to effectively "jam" our communications.
They have as I mentioned in my first post the ability to also bomb any radio transmission source which is a more permanent way to stop information.

Because the cold war started again in 2007, everybody was all happy and getting along up to that point.
But no, the kikes can't have a happy homogenous society so they force conflict where conflict isn't needed. Whether its mass importation of invaders who brazenly claim what they are going to do when they arrive, or the dissolution of traditionalism and the introduction of moral relativism spliced with anti-nationalist suicidal self-hatred.

>>54832597
Shouldn't Americans be happy Cold War started again?
>>54831917
Because it's not about what's embarrassing to read, but what's facts, and the fact is that you know jack about Russian capabilities in war and like the German here >>54832026 are overconfident in NATO's abilities.
90% of all the military might in NATO isn't even on European soil thanks to our politicians in Europe.
NATO in Europe has no air superiority without USA, the eastern block has no airforce to speak of and rely on the already small airforce from other European NATO countries.
This is something we all should be perfectly clear about, NATO only works as an idea.
It has never been tested, and article 5 is very vague on what constitutes as an response.
Article 5 does not by any means say how much each country shall contribute when article 5 is invoked or how fast the response should be.
Also in a war with Russia, Estonia and most of eastern Europe(including eastern parts of Poland) will be lost seeing as those countries has no capabilities(except Poland) and will be accepted as losses to ensure rest of Europe isn't lost.
>>54832748
>except Poland
Ah, yes. The nuclear hussars
>>54832748
are you foaming all over your body right now?
>>54832466
>>54832088
point is, airspace violations are dealt nation-to nation, not nation-to-military block. it has been the case for decades, it has been the case all these recent years. when a US plane violates Swedish airspace it's not a NATO issue, when U-2 violated Soviet airspace it wasn't a Warshw pact issue, when Russia violated Estonian airspace the last time, it wasn't a NATO issue, whne Russia violated Turkish airspace a few times just before shootdown, Davutoglu stated that the situation was resolved calmly between the two countries.
Now NATO officials, frustrated as always with having literally nothing to do want to make it seem like they're still useful. It's a non-issue, there's really no such thing as NATO airspace
UK strong
Russia weak
Typhoon and F-35 strong
>>54832748
>NATO in Europe has no air superiority without USA
IIRC European NATO has a slightly larger airforce than Russia
However, much of the Russian air force is ancient Soviet shit and much of European NATO (the smaller countries) is ancient American shit or Soviet shit
So it comes down to who has the less shit.
>>54832792
No but I think you are since I broke that illusion of yours that NATO is magic, and Estland having a chance against Russia.
I'm grateful for being a part of NATO but I'm being realistic about it's capabilities as a multi-national clusterfuck.
>>54832790
They would be the first country with any real resistance against you.

Also, who has better integrated air defense and a variety of hardware
For example, Europe has no strategic airforce, i.e. many Russian military factories are more or less unreacheable with Euro tech
>>54832748
I think you're overestimating Russia. All European Nato members together have more than twice the number of combat aircraft of Russia. And most of them are superior to the Russian equipment in a 1-v-1 comparison. So, yes, Nato has always air superiority. Even without the US.
>>54833083
I was generalising. A few of the smaller countries have a decent air force.
Also the Tornado is neither American nor Soviet, it's ancient but GOOD European shit. Also the Tornado is being replaced by multi-role Typhoons and F-35s.
We are getting 160 Typhoons + 138 F-35s so the RAF is actually expanding AND increasing in quality
>>54833100
Yes, true, but Russia would also find it difficult to penetrate far in European air space. The strongest Euro countries are further from Russia.
Having said that, I've thought for a while that our main weakness is defending against long-range missiles.
>>54833089
Sure, there won't be any beheading stuff. Last time the Baltics had forest brothers pretty much from WWII until about the 1970s.
>>54833374
i don't suppose he meant that the chechens are the animals everyone knows them to be, but that we might be shittier soldiers...
>>54832902
In the Top 10 largest air forces from 2014 only two European NATO members got on the list: Germany and Turkey.
Germany is the only country you can count on, since Turkey will by their location alone not be able to delegate many of those planes.
They are on the wrong side of Europe and will most likely have they own problems with the middle east, and Russia pressuring them from the black sea.
Also any country bordering with Russia or are located close to Russia, like Norway and Turkey would be forced to focus on their countries alone through fear of being invaded, even though Russia might focus solely on continental Europe.
>>54833344
yeah, with Russia able to launch x-101s and the like from basically any direction, and with Kalibrs on a dozen small hard-to detect subs, Europe is very vulnerable, while only European Russia is vulnerable to whatever Europe has to offer.
>>54833459
You are saying Germany has a better air force than Britain or France? Really?
Do you think number of planes has ANYTHING to with availability?
You're stupid as fuck, no wonder the other posters are taking you to town.
Post less and learn more.

Nigga you stupid.

>>54833459
Dude, Germany has less airworthy fighters than I have fingers
Last year there was report that out of 109 EF2000 only 8 is airworthy and combatworthy, and out of those 4 are on air policing in Estonia
>>54833459
>Germany is the only country you can count on
lel, they will do everything in their power to prevent article 5 from being invoked if some eastern NATO member gets attacked, along with France and Italy.
>>54833595
>>54833646
Yeah, this. Exactly.
Less reliable than most of the smaller countries
>>54833634
Seems like an exaggeration to me. I would believe a figure around 30 but not 8. Helicopters is where our real problems are.

Was mentioned as the only other European NATO member on that list.
I'm not saying you shouldn't count in France or the UK, but when the largest NATO military force in Europe are so unreliable as an ally how can a war with Russia go well.
I don't post in this thread to shitpost about how shit NATO members are and how great Russian military is, except maybe eastern block and Germany.
But to inform you about how weak the alliance is today, compared to how strong you think it is.
If none of you are willing to believe this, you have all been living under a rock and been able to see how much the European military has deteriorated

Pretty much. When less than half(!) of the population would fight for their own cunt it's not surprising that they are even less willing to do so for a distant foreign one.
>>54832729
The enemy is primarily within America. No one wins in a nuclear war but that is all the traitors seem to be pushing for, soo much harder than ever before.
It is so much worse than the Cold War before, because even our government won't admit its a cold war and our media at best just calls it 'us being in 'competition' with Russia.'
Another reason this is so much worse than the cold war is because NATO never succeeded in overthrowing a member nation of the USSR until the very end. NATO and the kikes have already overthrown Ukraine and are doing very good at dividing Syria between an East and West where all signs are pointing to them planning on undermining Russian gas/oil to Europe.
If you don't secure Syria soon, you are going to be forced into fully committing a land invasion, and with Turkey so close by that will be just fun for you to secure the Northern border, where I'm sure that NATO will demand a DMZ just big enough for a pipeline if they fail in making a 'Democratic Republic of Syria'.
If Russia had actually done something wrong in this entire scenario then I wouldn't care nor would a lot of other individuals. Its the fact that Soros funded an overthrow of Ukraine to obviously undermine Russia, and the Fact that for the 3rd fucking time some 'murderous genocidal dictator' decided to go full fucking retard and 'Use chemical weapons to slaughter 1400 innocent people in Damascus'. When any person with any ounce of intellect would see through the crystal clear bullshit of it and that NO ONE is that fucking stupid to repeat the precursor to 2 of their neighbors collapsing/being invaded/Overthrown.
>>54834291
You have to put yourself in Merkel's shoes. She has to balance the complete range of opinions in Europe, from the most hawkish voices in Poland and the Baltics to the doves in Spain or Italy who see no reason at all to antagonize Russia. She has to occupy the middle ground and still she said publicly Putin lives in another reality.

To be fair here, Cold War wasn't called that for a while either. Officially there was also just a competition and preparations for a possible military conflict
>>54834562
It's not 1939. To quote the Canadian Prime Minister, "It's [current year]!". Britain is basing 1000 troops in Poland de facto permanently from 2017, while we withdraw from Germany.
AFAIK we're the only western country to make this commitment
>>54834605

The UK is different from Germany or France in that respect, though. They want to buy Russian gas and don't really want to go protect anyone.
>>54834458
The AfD is sponsored by the Russian intelligence service. So take a guess. Putin has rightly identified Germany as Euope's linchpin nation and is trying everything he can to break up the European Union by sabotaging Merkel's attempt to hold it together. Which is why she could really use more support. Especially the refugee crisis has proven as Putin's most potent weapon. It's no coincidence that Russia started a huge bombing campaign against Aleppo the day before the peace talks were to start. Putin wants to maximize the refugees which is why he bombs civilians instead if ISIS.
But if Europe leaves Germany alone with the refugee problem, Germany will eventually have to close its borders. This will be the end of Schengen and essentially the end of Europe as we know it.
>>54834747

Figures like that are essentually worthless. America's public was stronlgy isolationist before Pearl Harbor. Didn't help the Nips.
>>54834618
Indeed but that's why the region is seeking for increased US troop presence instead of trying to get Europe in. Merkel has even spoken against increasing American troop presence.
>>54834933
It's the US who has a problem with Putin in the first place.
>>54834799
Ah, I see
>Putin has rightly identified Germany as Euope's linchpin nation and is trying everything he can to break up the European Union by sabotaging Merkel's attempt to hold it together.

You're absolutely right. I agree with this completely. Except that Merkel's current position needs to change.
She must stop inviting the refugees into Europe. The EU's borders must be effectively guarded from migrants, and instead we should take the refugees directly from around Syria. Inviting people to journey through Europe is dangerous and wrong. It helps the wrong kind of people including the smugglers.
>But if Europe leaves Germany alone with the refugee problem, Germany will eventually have to close its borders.
It's a problem that Germany created with the open door policy. This policy needs to change, only then can the EU take a united position. Which should be:
Guard the borders of the EU
Take in refugees direct from source
This is also more humane, as it helps the vulnerable instead of the 80% young men who make the journey
>>54834536
Merkel doesn't represent anyone but Germany. She needs to shut the fuck up.
>>54834876
>Figures like that are essentually worthless
You are completely wrong on this point, they are the main indicators of how large a segment of the population is willing to fight before the fight actually begins. Higher willingness = higher morale. It is not saying that a people won't retaliate if someone comes and hurts them directly and you'd be mistaken to think that.
>America's public was stronlgy isolationist before Pearl Harbor
Strongly isolationist doesn't mean pacifistic, they just felt that getting involved in the problems of the old world was going to be more trouble than it was worth.
What would Russia get out of invading Baltic states, Belarus or anything else in that region?
Of course Putin might be operating on different version of rationality than western world, but I honestly doubt that.

How about not taking any of them in at all and forcing them to go back and fix it? They will only cause more problems and decrease the quality of life for the average citizens and the (too many) immigrants already here.
It is much better for the region in the long run too because it will prevent a brain drain from developing.
Bulgaria doesn't have any nukes.
Or money.
>>54835147
It would help him maintain power if things get bad in Russia. Also dominance on the Baltic Sea and Russian imperialist notions. And it secures his hometown from "American aggression". St. Petersburg is a short way from Estonia.

Ideally this would be the solution. But Assad's government is quite happy to murder anyone who lives in the wrong place at the wrong time, and they're even killing their prisoners. Then you have IS - would you want to live under IS?

>She must stop inviting the refugees into Europe. The EU's borders must be effectively guarded from migrants
But that is Merkel's position. She said we have to guard our external borders, especially the water borders in order to keep Schengen. She is trying to rally Europe to help Greece with its border problems and to pay Turkey to better control its border. And the rest of Europe is like "meh, us paying? No that's a job for Germany alone"
Her statement about not sending Syrians back that she did in late August may have been problematic, but by that date the big influx was already underway. And the journey takes 4 weeks. So nothing until late September can be attributed to her statement. That's just an excuse. pic related.
She said that to take pressure from the vulnerable periphery. And it worked. But it's not a permanent solution. For that we need all of Europe.

>>54835147
Belarus, Finland, and to a lesser degree, Sweden, could be invaded for the same reason to invade Ukraine; don't move West, and if you do, your country will be a shitpile and Europe won't want to touch you with a ten-foot pole.
NATO itself being attacked is much less likely, but the Baltics have always been a weak link. If the belief in Russia is that NATO is all bark and no bite, and a swift, decisive invasion could shatter it, it remains something to worry about.

She must *explicitly* tell migrants to stop coming to Europe. When they're interviewed over in Europe that's what they say: Merkel said we're welcome. She has still put NO limit on the refugees that Germany is prepared to accept. She has to do that, else people will think they have a chance
>>54835313
Finland and Sweden demonstrate that it has nothing to do with comfyness, but everything to do with how the common man percieves the nation, it's people, it's neighbours, it's history and the role all of these play in the national discourse and the wider world.
>>54835109
You know as well as me that the European Commission would take ages to do anything. It's a consequence of Europe's democratic deficit that the member state's leaders do indeed matter much in deciding the direction of European politics. And Germany, by virtue of size and current economic stability and prosperity, was thrown into the positon of leadership. An unwanted position but we have it nonetheless. And much depends on those decisions.
