Personal opinion: it's an image doctored by BIS to give the impression of Eastern bloc hardware occupying a Mediterranean airfield.

[Dieter66 10]

This is definitely not Takistan, i have never seen the buildings there.

[Grimfist 0]

using Macromedia fireworks - overlay them in order, use XOR filter on all, then group and invert colour. and wala

Agreed. I've been looking at Greek Airbases on Google Earth. Some look similar, but no definite hit so far. :)

[Neopas 10]

This is definitely not Greece - they apparently don't have airbases near the sea (unless that there is a lake).

Doesn`t look like Greece to me either,however there are airbases next to the sea.Aktio ,located opposite of Lefkas is used by NATO also I think.

His forum posts says he has 7 post, in 6 years. Yet only two show up on his profile.

Im only looking around :-X

Not as active as you or I, perhaps? Maybe he has posted in forums that you can't access or they were deleted. He is just another user.

I knew it was Lemnos!

Hack #5 mentioned Hephaestus and the center of his cult was in Lemnos.

This is definitely not ARMA2, i have never seen the Graphics there.

I agree with that assesment. Although there is no real reason why there couldn't be Russian helicopters there. Although it could be a Chinese helicopter rip off of a havoc/kamov/hamov/kavov.

Don't know if somone noticed this already, but it's not on the wiki. There's a cross added to the huey picture.

Compare it with this.

A lot of military installations there.Agios Efstratios plant clue ,also matches.

If the helicopters are faked into the picture it could be souda airbase on crete... at least the have the same powerpoles there...

[purepassion 22]

just one idea

Gulf war

[-Paladin- 10]

Ok so the new Island we fight on looks like lemnos?

[scajolly 14]

That is a very pretty island for some a-fighting.

Funnily enough, that's another symbol that means XOR. Well spotted though!

[Flamewave 10]

So... Russian occupation of Lemnos?

'Another ancient example is that of Histiaeus, who shaved the head of his most trusted slave and tattooed a message on it. After his hair had grown the message was hidden. The purpose was to instigate a revolt against the Persians.'

Probably not Russian. Maybe though. More likely Chinese or Iranian I would think.

[2nd ranger 282]

Another shot of the airfield

The road we're looking down in the picture looks like it's the one heading off into the distance there

[Neopas 10]

Putin was in Lemnos last summer for a visit I remember...I `ll look into it.

Edit: For a sevice in a russian cemetary in Lemnos.

Yep, it's definitely Lemnos. The road in the bottom of the screen from Google Earth is the same as the road from the picture. The orange roofed building are the same, and there is water behind the airport.

Oh, and do you remember the picture of Anthemis werneri we got couple of days ago? One of the few locations where it exists is also Lemnos.

It's a 30x25km island, will be very impressed if they're able to reproduce it to such scale!
