Re: Why tanks? (none / 0)

I thought it was in an updatae to and/or a link from a comment on Club Orlov of March 24, but I cannot find it now. It was not the Defense Minister, but the head of the air force.

The commenter was quoting a Spanish speaking air controller in Kiev who was sending out a stream of comments in Spanish about the military police intercepting the arms that were arriving by air for the national guard, etc.
