It must be not easy for them, but I guess meeting with some Soviet-school military realities still remaining in Iraq may sometimes make feel them like home. They also have some opportunity to test their new hardware, like Rosomak armoured personnel carrier. I bet some Polish F-16s also end up there when their training ends... Best regards, Jacek |

Paul -- Heaven is where the police are British, the chefs Italian, the mechanics German, the lovers French and it is all organized by the Swiss. Hell is where the police are German, the chefs British, the mechanics French, the lovers Swiss and it is all organized by Italians. http://new.photos.yahoo.com/paul1cart/albums/ Flag of Poland Poland - Currently, 900 non-combat troops from the 'First Warsaw Division', based at Camp Echo in Diwaniyah. Poland leads the Multi-National Division (South Central) which consists of forces from several other countries. In accordance with the decision of the former Polish Minister of Defense Jerzy Szmajdziński, the number of troops was reduced from 2,500 to 1,500 during the second half of 2005. Poland's former leftist government, which lost September 25, 2005 elections, had planned to withdraw the remaining 1,500 troops in January. However, the new defense minister, Radosław Sikorski, visited Washington on December 3 for talks on Poland's coalition plans, and Prime Minister Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz declared that he would decide after the Iraqi elections on December 15, whether to extend its troops' mandate beyond December 31.[18] On Tuesday 22 December, Prime Minister Marcinkiewicz announced that he had asked President Lech Kaczyński to keep Polish troops in Iraq for another year, calling it "a very difficult decision."[19] On January 5, 2006, Polish troops handed over control of the central Babil province to U.S. troops and decided to remain on bases in Kut and Diwaniyah for the remainder of their mandate,[20] cutting their contingent from 1,500 troops to 900 troops two months later,[21] and switching their main objective from patrolling their sector to the training of Iraqi security forces. Poland has lost 20 soldiers in Iraq: 14 in bombings or ambushes and 6 in various accidents. In July 2004, Al Zarqawi released a statement threatening Japan, Poland and Bulgaria over their troop deployments. He demanded of the Polish government 'Pull your troops out of Iraq or you will hear the sounds of explosions that will hit your country.' Hours later Prime Minister Marek Belka denied, and deputy Defence Minister Janusz Zemke said pulling out would be a 'terrible mistake.' Wiki Multinational force |

This is what in thought was so cool and so pragmatic and so Russian. In
one of the Su-22's that landed in Pakistan by a defector during the border war with Pakistan the cockpit had been "upgraded" to handle precision guided bombs utilizing TV imagery being fed to the "scope" mounted on the right side of the cockpit. Now the pilot had to guide the munitions (like our old Bullpup from Vietnam days) into the target as he drove down the bombing run and of course the most important factor for his was "where is the ground - or what is his altitude". Now we are not talking about digital displays or HUD's so the good Sukhoi design team just conveniently located a second altimeter right their under the TV... worked real nice. Now the Su-22 was a swing wing jet - old question on the thread - which way did the manual wing sweep work - (1) the bomber way - wings back, lever back as in F-111, MiG-23/27, Mirage G, or (2) the fighter way - wing lever forward to put wings back to match adding power with throttle as with F-14 and B-1. The Su-22 did neither - it was a lock set, but the lever back moved the wings back. Yet it still has the best "feel" of all the Russian jets - more like a Phantom and shares the strong rudders wrote in message oups.com...
