Quote from: seafoid on December 12, 2025, 03:32:39 PMA nuclear attack by Russia is unlikely. Economic attack is more likely unless we have deterrence. There is no excuse with the budget surplus.

We should be investing in cyber security and if necessary for defence purposes.

But back to a question asked earlier, how many jets do we need?

Having three isn't worth my arse full of warm snow, we need at least 20 and a few nuclear warheads hidden in the bogs of Offaly and to come out of the ground like in thunderbirds.



Do you think that aircraft that switch off their transponders and enter Irish airspace should be intercepted?

They've been doing what they want for a while and the Brits have done nowt, they'll never shoot one down..

The only fix is for Putin to 'go away' and he looks fit and well at present
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

No one expects them to be shot down.

Some people seem to think "neutral" means "completely unarmed." They're very different. Sweden was neutral for years and was armed to the teeth, even manufacturing its own jets.

Why do we need to invest in any cybersecurity atall sure?
The Russians could nuke us, so let's not bother with intrusion detection, firewalls, encryption, failovers etc.
