well, she looks like 18 - 20 yo. Nothing really surprising imo.

oh, I thought she looked younger, my bad.

[Ataman]

why unfortunately?

I don't like those guys who switched sides in the 2. Chechen War. Once a terrorist, always a terrorist to me.

Sulim never were a terrorist btw.

He was on the separatist side in the 1. Chechen War. Rebel or terrorist, depends on the point of view if that's what you mean.

If someone was using terrorist methods than they are a terrorist. If not - then just a rebel.

Well, do you know exactly what methods he/they used? Ethnic cleansing or killing of more than 100.000 people and he wasn't involved at all? Hard to believe.

I know what you're trying to say... I am not a big fan of Chechens in general actually. But there really was no choice... Better have them butcher themselves with their endless clan wars than send our young men and women to do the dirty work. They are skilled fighters - you can't deny them that. As long as you give them power, they will be loyal to you. Russia pretty much handed over power of the North Caucasus to several of these clan warlords. People like Umarov understand this cycle so they try to expand the violence OUTSIDE the North Caucasus.

I don't know anything about them at all, and don't wanna know.

I absolutely agree.
But there's one thing that I refuse to accept - making those "former rebels" who shot Russians (and probably even worse, don't even want to think about that) "Heroes of the Russian Federation". That's a disgrace and I don't know why this seemed necessary to some people...

Them having surrendered Gudermes peacefully and having fought on the right side of justice saved a lot of Russian servicemen's lives, so in my book they deserved the medals.

April, 15th 2010. Rehearsal, Tverskaya Street, Moscow.
The author "cve3921".

Are you sure? It's very strange, because rehearsals are still being made in Alabino, the first rehearsal in Moscow will be on April 27

we changed pobryakushki for their service to Russia. I think it's not a large price for saved lifes of our guys.

very much agreed here

[Raden5]

What do you mean, Raden5? BMD-4 is in active service in VDV units. And it is not cancelled, just there will be no order on them in 2011. Current park of BMD-3's going to upgrade into BMD-4.
MoD and the manufacturing plant of Kurganmash is taking accent on BMP-3.

I say - "for the parade"...
If you are familiar with the matter - you understand why...

Хрен его знает...
Date - time of appearance of photos.
It is possible of course that this is an old photo.

Here is the date April 16...

So you're saying the BMD 4 is for "pokazukha" and nothing more?
