Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).

Rules:

1. No Bigotry or Hate SpeechAny forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it. Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. "Just asking questions" won't be tolerated.

2. No ZionismAny forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism. Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.

Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.

3. Stay CivilPlease maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.

4. No MisinformationSpreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.

Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users with a history of such posting will be banned on sight.

5. No AI ContentPlease do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.


Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.

The Hungarian company Milspace Kft is helping Russian Helicopters to sign contracts for the repair of foreign helicopters to circumvent sanctions.

...

An official letter from the Hungarian company Milspace Kft to the Mexican company Personas y Paquetes Por Aire, S.A. de C.V. outlines a clear scheme for circumventing sanctions against the Russian military-industrial complex.

...

Milspace explicitly admits that helicopter repairs at the Russian “plant in Kazan” are impossible, as Russian companies and the Mil Design Bureau are under sanctions because of the war in Ukraine, but then says, "We found a solution."

In the letter, the company offers a ready-made “gray” scheme that allows to conclude a contract bypassing international sanctions:

  • Milspace Kft acts as a formal contractor;
  • Repairs are carried out at a plant in Kazakhstan licensed by the Russian Mil Design Bureau;
  • Spare parts come from Moscow – from Mi-INTER Ltd;
  • All work is coordinated with Mil Design Bureau and Russian Helicopters, which are part of the Rostec state corporation.
