True enough it was badly translated. It was one link of many I just now sourced using key words. Obviously US mil says one thing, Soviet says another. There are sufficient diverse reports from various news sources that a person may be able to come to their own conclusions, if they are trying to formulate an informed opinion.

I'd just like to say that it is not my practice to just spew uninformed rhetoric, although to the uniniated it may look like that is exactly what I appear to do.

I raise questions which interest me and which I spend time trying to find reasonable explanations for. I do this by exposing my own experiential outcomes to discussion, on this list and elsewhere.

Notwithstanding that I am a lousy speller myself, I'm not going to discount an opinion just because of bad English. In this world of diversity, the sovereigns English can take a back seat to informed ideas any day of the week.

It would have been an interesting article to read if it had been better written. That article must have been written by someone who does not have English as their primary language. It was so badly written I gave up after reading a few bits of it. Even the website domain has "defanse" which may be the word "defence" in another language.
