INTERESTING IMPRESSIONS FROM MALBORK AND THE NEED OF DUTCH QRA FLIGHTS |
November
14th, 2014 |
By
the time this very page is built the information came to us that Dutch
F-16's |
had
to intercept once again a Russian 'Bear' which invaded the air-space of
the |
sovereign
Baltic states by this occasion. A violation against NATO members. |
In
the light of the expanding Russian forces in the Ukrain with troops and
heavy |
material
(tanks) the question once again rises why Russia shows this agression. |

Several
movements from Russia to Ukrain such as transport vehicles, troops and
tanks have been perceived |

So
Malbork is of importance for the QRA and 'showing flag' for the countries
that feel threatened by the Russian 'shower of power'. |

Daily
life goes on, everyone is aware of the importance of it's own individual
task |

An
average day, raining this time but still the same routines |

This
day some F-16's will be flying against the MIG-29's for training purposes |

For
the F-16 pilots this is even better to 'fight' real MIG's in stead of an
F-16 simulating he is one..... |

While
this concerns a training, the F-16's as well as the MIG's are equipped
with training material on the hardpoints |
