Guess I got my stories crossed, the Med incident involved a U.S. plane being "buzzed" close aboard three times happened before the ship incident which occurred in the Philippine Sea a couple of days later. This is still for now an "uptick" in these types of actions which during the Cold War especially in the Med where this happened routinely. I wouldn't call it an escalation (Unless it continues in a more compressed manner in time.) as much as "we're still here" as a reminder.

Watch and read the report, though this one has the Russians "catching some rays" on the helo deck...

OR...

Watch and listen to the report...

Sorry for the earlier confusion. Oh I better do this to...

POLAND: Looking to develop a "Tank Destroyer" capability.

Also...

GERMANY is going to continue to maintain them as POLAND is still moving forward with the LEOPARD PL Program. I wonder how much help they'll be receiving from Germany on the LEOPARD PL!?!
