Comments on: Rivet Ball https://whynow.dumka.us/2009/01/13/rivet-ball-5/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Thu, 15 Jan 2009 01:09:07 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Kryten42 https://whynow.dumka.us/2009/01/13/rivet-ball-5/comment-page-1/#comment-42170 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 01:09:07 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=7370#comment-42170 Yep. 🙂 The Russians are testing their readiness, and it gives the Brit’s a chance to test their National defense systems which haven’t had much use for some time. 🙂 Good training for the service men & women and gives them all something to chat about at dinner. LOL Yeah… I remember all that during a tour. Nobody was worried, we all knew what it was. Being on constant duty with nothing happening can make you very lax. You just get bored to death. This is simply a political agitprop stunt mainly for Russia (for her own people mostly), and to shake the cobwebs from the Russian crews, and to see what breaks and needs fixing. LOL

I’m surprised those Bears can still get off the ground! I wonder how many they actually have that are truly airworthy, or mission capable? Not a lot I bet. 😉

Mind you, the US bomber fleet isn’t in much better condition. *sigh*

The Soviets also lost people in the coldest theater of the Cold War, but things weren’t nearly as aggressive as what went on in coastal airspace near Asia, or in the Baltic. Libya was a particularly nasty piece of work in the Med.

The UK responds to the Russian incursions with two RAF squadrons tasked with the operation, and back up from the Royal Navy. It’s a nice training exercise as long as the Tu-95s [Bear] stay together. The Russians need a new airframe, or to start building more with newer materials as the Bears are nearing the end of their flight worthiness. Nothing wrong with the design, it’s just that they are very old aircraft.

I haven’t finished working on the Discworld stuff, and the Harry Potter stuff was done for a relative who wasn’t allowed to visited the other Potter sites.

I still need to make the changes for Book 6 and then Book 7, but the work for which I am being paid is first.

I didn’t even know you had another website. 😐 And… a question… Why do you have a section devoted to Harry Potter and NOT Discworld? 😐

😉 😀 LOL
