a) The film states that they had a number of bomb drops, of which the last two were live bombs.

b) as to the usefulness of the German Luftwaffe, in recognition of its relative "smallness" during the Cold War and the predicted life expectancy on the battlefield the decision was made to essentially focus on three major mission types,

- air interdiction

- reconnaissance

- strikes (=nuclear, by MRCA Tornado)

 

The lowest priority was assigned to what the army wants most, close air support, because of the expected high attrition rate. In short, a call for close air support would be answered ONLY under the condition that a brigade (!) was threatened with losses in excess of 80% (!!!) within the next 24 hours. Then, and only then, the Luftwaffe would send its most disposable asset, the Alpha jet, which could carry a single 500lb bomb.

 Not to mention, that since we have the Luftwaffe...we haven't managed to win any war ;)

W.T.F.?!

 

 

Yesterday, on January 10, 2018, a drunken man, stole from the guarded parking lot DOSAAF caterpillar all-terrain vehicle, where he drove into the window of the store "Family" on the street Severnaya in Apatity and when trying to steal a bottle of wine was detained by the police.


In addition, it became known that this man was already caught in early January for stealing a truck KAMAZ and was under a written undertaking not to leave the place.

The author of the second video from the window is Vladislav P.

An excellent video Matsimus.

It is scary to think how fast an easily we have forgoten all this situation that was real threat not so long ago.

When I  joined the military in 1984, that was a real threat. Now young generations think of it as it never happened.

Very nice footage on the video.
