Whats the point?. Obviously when a major new rollout affecting 50 million people was happening, the older IT needed upgrading. If anything ,and looking at the date of that tender, they were a bit tardy... The Oxford vaccine was going into large numbers of arms within a month of that date

Could not happen to a more deserving bloke.

Of course there is propaganda in play, but there are other items in play also. much of Russian Advanced industry was not in Russia it was distributed around the USSR .

But they are not Russian aircraft!!!. A significant number are Irish owned and leased to Russian airlines. but once sanctions came in, those within the russian airspace were confiscated and registered on the Russian lists

Local picture from BlackRock ..and No not the Queen's Jubilee, but the annual raft race in the village .The first public outings since 2019

We have been here before ... Finland has engaged in a 40+ : year self censorship of activities so as not to antagonise the Russian Bear. They would have continued , except that Russia invaded Ukraine in force last February. .. How do we know that .. the Finnish President said so. As long as...

Back in the day when my Mother did cooking and I was a uni student coming home at 10:00 pm , for Dinner .(.I would stay in College for my studying and student societies) .. a standard meal was a brown stew with a lot of liver and bits of rasher, and potatoes , onions . This would have been...

The correlation with radon and cancer is well established.... I am not going to continue a dialogue of the deaf. Former U.S. Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona, Releases National Health Advisory on Radon (January 13, 2005) U.S. Surgeon General, Richard H. Carmona, issues a Health Advisory...

Flecc.... Sorry this is a topic outside your range of expertise. the effects of ionising radiation are not a matter of opinion, they are the results of quantitative measurements. low level radiation may take months or years to be to manifest itself as cancers etc. my sister being a case in...

Unlike the rest of you I have some sympathy for that Tory MP.. ..at least for the first infraction. Some years ago I was running a tutorial on the use of Electronic Cad Software .. actually a very good British designed suite , which we had taken a site license for, at a fraction of the cost of...

As long as Ukraine remained a compliant stooge of the Russian superstate, it was safe from invasion. But going back to 2010 , or even a little earlier, Ukraine themselves started looking Westward. The then ruling Party had as it's election manifesto that it would sign up a trade deal with the...

There were plenty of other missiles and cluster bomb carriers display over the last few months. Many in bits , many with the cluster compartment s ..like egg cartons visible and exposed The majority of the missiles ..as opposed to aircraft delivered bombs, will presumably be lightweight...

Surely that is an old wives tail..(tale)?

We actually have our own gas ... Corrib and Kinsale fields, () Kinsale is about used up. We also have some oil off Kinsale ..but not worth it at present.

I doubt that the British Armed forces have anything to teach the Ukrainians. .. except when newer weapons are being introduced. There might be a value in hooking up display terminals to the data from AWACS, but that wouldn't be SAS bods

I don't see why they would be used for that purpose. According to the information publicly available for many weeks, launching these NLAWs is easier than using a machine gun. And with the experience already on the ground, SAS would not be required. Remember that the various national...

Yes... My point being that the satellite data will give the approximate position of the ship , the position of the missile is known by the launch crew, so they only need to turn on its target acquisition sensors when its very close. Radar based target acquisition systems can always be detected...

But not the reverse. If you are guiding a missile externally at a slow moving target like a ship, and just switch on the active radar targetting system a minute before impact, the shipboard radar crew don't have time for countermeasures. If their missile was like an Exocet, the targeting...

According to US media, they are putting it all down to the Ukrainians themselves. One of the Turkish drones loitering around provided real time data and a distraction, and then their missile has good accuracy. The combination of stormy weather and the drone provided sufficient distraction. But...

Couldn't have happened to a nicer nation!. By all accounts,..and in this case untrustworthy accounts, all the crew had abandoned ship so all 500 accounted for. Russian Navy says an on board fire ignited explosives, ..almost certainly true. Ukraine says they sent the missiles which started the...
