Oh are we doing multiple fronts now?? >

I bet thats what the population of these countries need right now, another war. >

Rwanda probably doesn’t need Britain exporting refugees and asylum seekers there either, but here we are. >

Well so far all we've managed to export to Rwanda is millions of GBP and precisely zero refugees. As the house of commons needs a lengthy and costly refit my vote is the politicians relocate themselves there for a few years ago they stop spaffing millions up the wall on fantasy projects. 
With the mind-blowing amount to waste it would be cheaper to house the refugees in Claridges and send their children to Eton. >

Can people chill the fuck out >

Telling us to chill out is an act of war! >

Saying something is an act of war is an act of war! >

Your act of war is an act of war of an act of war! >

Are you threatening me? >

That’s for the senate to decide >

Should be the top comment. Thanks. The SU-25 is roughly the Russian A-10. It's built like a brick shithouse. >

Everyone going to war these days >

War is like, so in right now. >

Rwanda needs to chill the fuck out, and the DRC should find/build an airport more than 800 meters from the border. It's too close!! >

I don’t wanna sound like a dick but I’m shocked the Rwandan government even have fighter jets. >

New zealand doesn't even have fighter jets >

I thought you were joking and had to google it.
Holy shit NZ don't have fighter jets. Not even trainer jets. >

But we got like 6 or 8 helicopters lol >

We got one of those new poseidons too, I'm sure we could strap some missiles to it, pretty sure they already have a torpedo capability >

So EAF plan gonna die then? >

Begun have, the third Congo wars. >

DRC is not even in control of their border with Rwanda currently. They would have to go through the myriad of warlords on their own land first. >

How would you even fight a war in that terrain? People barely keep themselves alive in the East of the DRC >

Everything is just going to hell lately isn't it >

Eh, most civilized countries treat these "accidental" intrusions into air space as way less severe than an act of war. >

The background is that there has been ongoing conflict.  It’s likely that Rwanda has been backing a resurgent seperate mist group that has been waging an offensive and is close to a major city(DRC, France and the US support this claim).  On the other end Rwanda also suggest that The DRC has been supporting their own militia which has ties to the Rwandan genocide(haven’t dug much into this so not sure how well supported it is).
But basically this is just the latest escalation. Didn’t just start today >

Rwanda kicked Congo’s ass and nearly beat them in the opening stages of Operation Kitona in the late 1990s. Infighting among their Allies was one of the reasons they withdrew but they did so in good order. >

TIL, but I thought the situation in Eastern Congo/Western Rwanda was traditionally loosely organized paramilitary or militia organizations that controlled various areas without any central oversight? >

I mean, yeah, but more for Eastern Congo than Western Rwanda. Rwanda is a military dictatorship, and the Rwanda Genocide/Civil War absolutely threw the region into Chaos, but the RPF retained its core of professional fighting force, (or what counts as professional in a place full of paramilitary/militia) and was able to use those forces skillfully during the two Congo wars.  Don't get me wrong, looting, rape, and other war crimes were perpetrated by the RPF during the two Congo Wars(and during the genocide too most likely), but the RPF has a chain of command, decent staffwork/officers and can coordinate forces for tactical or strategical objectives. >

Time to invest in Raytheon. >

Those folks got fighter jets?
