sorry to spoil your sensational message but that very aircraft is obviously flying at other times too like training and the like and not only during 'crisis'. it being airborne does not necessarily mean anything. what's the source btw, these flights are usually not made public!?

it may just be a bad AI image but showing bombed civilian infrastructure is quite telling - you are in no way better than those you condemn.

yeah I reckon that's their only European destination (used to be at least) and so an interesting catch.

does Angola Airways still fly there ?

if you are really into scenic backgrounds there are other choices like CFU in summer or INN/SZG in winter. but everything comes at a price - these lack the traffic most of the time.

good panning! and awesome classic cessna there

not very creative choices but from a photographers viewpoint the best options I can think of (access/background), when it comes to international airports at least. for traffic FRA or LHR obviously. MUC is ok too and MAN looks to have decent spots. you'll need a car for all these to really enjoy.

great shot of a unique jet, very good angle here making it look as skinny as possible 😆

Appeasement is not what I'm seeing here. He was talking to a narcissist US president - of course he focuses on the role of the US to make a point. you can't unroll the whole history of WWII which involved many more states beside USA and Canada to a man with limited ability to process complex facts.

who said the'll be used instantly once delivered. Ukraine proved numerous times that they are very good at tactics like waiting for the right moment to strike (unlike their enemy).

It was recently stated that Germany will no longer publish details about their weapons support to Ukraine. I don't know more than anyone else but if that is accurate it would be possible that Taurus will be supplied in the near future or is even on the way already....one can hope at least.

yep you know that, I know that, the German chancellor knows that. but it seems Merz is also well aware of Trumps lack of (historic) knowledge and the US is the center of the universe mindset. leaving out that information is an approach to get through to Trump and not overstrain his simple mind imho.

look closely, it seems the A-50s are missing engines which would indicate they were not active.

red and yellow are only on short- and midrange aircraft, sand/brown only long haul and blue and green can be both. don't know exactly why but that's what they stated when they introduced the stripe design.

iirc the ukrainian version had a gunner in the backseat. good luck trying to hit anything with a wing mounted gun like that.

while this sounds very impressive EK balances cant be compared to most other airlines as it is state owned and received huge subsidies without repayment the years before.
