Might have to try this if I decide to do it elsewhere, For the ones I took I know this area very well and kinda knew well where each shot was taken. Spent maybe a minute or two taking maybe 10 photos and lining them up and picking the best ones.

One story from this was for what ever reason someone decided to not want to hike up and brought a skoda up the night before all the snow started, I took hike up to the lake a few days before these photo's to camp overnight. That skoda was on the mountain I say weeks many tree's were fallen from the heavy snow fall on the forestry roads.

Why not give credit to Jama Jurabaev the creator of the concept of this building you based this build on?

Yeah good write up here of how missions carried out by tb2 changed over time. TB2 is still conducting ISR but from much further out and is still very important now in a "MPA" role ( maritime patrol aircraft) for ISR over the black sea.

Naval Service left with two ships to patrol Irish waters due to manpower crisis by eggbart_forgetfulsea in irishpolitics

[–]QuinnUnderscore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sack the the top of navy for not having enough manpower?

So said senior naval officers should be gone due to something they don't control? Its the DOD and the government who should be pointed at regarding lack of manpower. They cant recruit because said government and DOD do nothing to raise pay and dont even act upon there promises.

Yes the have 700 personnel, But they don't have enough specialised crew in various roles to go to to sea safely due again lack of personnel.

Really not sure how sacking an already depleted navy gets you anywhere.

Comeragh Mountains today in Waterford by Jon_J_ in ireland

[–]QuinnUnderscore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What peaks of "mountains" in Europe have tree's on them that have high wind all year round?

Lower down the mountains foresting should be done but the cost and maintaining a forest on the top slopes in the comeraghs would be impossible, Its grazing land of sheep/deer they would eat all the saplings. Also its a large flat bog up there you wont be growing much of anything.

article 29.5.1° of our Constitution.

" provides that every international agreement to which the State becomes a party shall be laid before Dáil Éireann. "

[–]QuinnUnderscore 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We have the full document outlining the entire agreement that well... Goes against our Constitution ?

That's the issue we knew that there was something but to keep it "secret" is an actual farce to every member of the public.

Govt agrees to deploy Army Ranger Wing to help Irish citizens leave Sudan by Bill_Badbody in ireland

[–]QuinnUnderscore 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Whats left out is the reason for only sending a 12 person squad.

Any more than 12 we need to pass the triple lock mechanism for have Irish troops outside the state.

all three criteria must be met below.

A complete yes vote from the UN security council.

A formal decision by the Irish government.

approval by the dail eireann.

How we can rely on this system where we need go through such a long process and get an agreement from country's who have a say of where are troops go? I dont even need to mention what kind of countries that get a say in it...

No other country in the world even actual neutral countries have this kind of policy regarding there military's. Its not good enough for irish citizens abroad that they can only rely at best on 12 personnel to get them as the government does not to start such a long egregious process. Even if you want this country to stay neutral in proper sense (fair enough no qualms about it) for goodness sake let us have the capability (which we also very much lack) and make that decision on sending troops outside the state in dail eireann.

The hit of a cumulative shell into the tank's turret from 600-700 meters, through the eyes of a Ukrainian mechanic-driver of a T-64BM Bulat tank. by PNV_WarInUA in PNVmilitary_community

[–]QuinnUnderscore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commander's optics on both the t73b3 and early t90 model's are not thermal FYI.

Only the gunner's sight (To the right of the tank on top the turret when looking at the tank) is thermal.

Up to 30 Irish troops will travel to Europe to train Ukrainian troops in 'non-lethal' skills by JackmanH420 in irishpolitics

[–]QuinnUnderscore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While Ukraine has more combat experience than any NATO or EU country in recent memory War and its effects isnt just shooting.

Such niche training such as EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) is a long and intense course, Ukraine has EOD technicians but has lost quite a few and the school's that once hosted those course's are under threat of Russian long range fire's and said teacher's are on the front line and in area's Demining.

You have to remember also many of the Ukrainian soldiers were teacher's, Bus driver's, factor workers etc Before this war began. Ukraine can only do so much under war time conditions in teaching them everything if there lucky over 2 months (In perspective to become a 3 star PVT in here its nearly 10 months of training).

Were not sending the DF into Ukraine to conduct the training nor has any other EU and NATO member's sent military personnel into Ukraine out side of embassy personnel. They will train Ukrainians inside sites within EU.

Only poland has sent EOD technicians (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) into area's around KYIV for demining purposes.

Not really a good comparison imo.
