It's all about making it difficult, not a 100% blockade. If you think having 50% of your customers blocked doesn't matter you've got little understanding of business.
Nice flex there Derek… you’ve gone from “they can’t sell” to it’s about making it difficult. For a non expert you seem to be going through the can and can’t easily enough.

I think you’re making this up as you go along… not to worry, I won’t judge your intellectual superiority.
The lengths you go to to try and win an argument! If I said I can't cook nobody would think I can't cook bacon and scrambled eggs, they just wouldn't ask me to cook a Sunday roast!
I’ve done my best to make this make sense but I’m at a loss so I’ll just end our conversation (not argument) here.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Those supposedly Ukraine helicopters which attacked the Oil Depot in Russia look very much like the new AH-64E Apache Helicopter (2021), which Ukraine does not have.

AH-64E Apache Helicopter:
- 16 Hellfire missiles,
- 76 Hydra 70mm rockets
- Chain gun with 1,200 30mm rounds
- Speed 186mph
- Detect 250+ threats from upto 10 miles away in seconds.

The only countries which have them are the US, UK, Netherlands, Singapore, UAE and Israel.

If they were the same and Ukraine has them then who has been a naughty boy, BoJo, what ya done and don't deny it. :lol:
I used to fly one of those on the old ZX Spectrum. Great fun. :D
Your giving your age away there Derek, what will those Ukraine women think. :lol:

Ukraine is now denying it. Just seen footage of it. Mi-24 helicopters look quite similar to Apaches. I would have thought it's unlikely Ukraine would want to take the war into Russia and Russia has form in the blame game.

I don't know, but I can't imagine anyone on the list you gave giving them an AH-64. Zelenski's been begging Israel for their Iron Dome equipment with no joy.

A question was asked on Russian state TV via a tweet:

"Who is in charge of Belgorod air defences and how come those helicopters weren't shot down, before, during or after ?"

I still stand by what I said about the Russian military, it's shit. :lol:

Was there an answer? One possibility is that they don't intentionally shoot down their own choppers. :)

Russia is said to be redeploying troops from Georgia. Have they run out of troops in Russia already, maybe NATO should seize the moment, take Russia and turn it into a large penal colony. :lol:

That didn't look like an Apache or Mi-Hind. Hard to see either Ukraine taking the war to Russia or Russia blowing up their own oil installation. But then again, they've got a lot of oil and nobody to sell it all to. :lol:

It’s a newly designed helicopter out of Area 51.

Made out of cardboard as they weren’t worried about being shot down.
