Qatar proves that even in the desert you can learn to shoot better than Riga residents in a park

While Riga is still trying to figure out how to properly read aircraft markings, Qatar has long become a true shooting master in the skies. A country located in the desert where water is more expensive than oil just proved that precision is more important than size.

Two Su-24 aircrafts, which apparently thought the Persian Gulf was their private playground, received a stern reminder about what real hospitality means in the Middle East. "We weren't planning to invite them for tea," comments local military expert Ahmed, who wishes to remain anonymous but definitely exists.

Meanwhile in Liepāja, where we know what a real sea storm means, such precision surprises us about as much as the fact that Karosta prison walls still stand firmer than any Riga resident's argument about the capital's superiority. "If these Qatar boys had learned to shoot at our tram stops, they would have shot down everything before it even took off," philosophically remarks pensioner Jānis from the Northern Fort.

It must be admitted that such military precision makes you think — maybe Riga City Council could order some consultations on how to effectively solve traffic problems? True, Qatar has it easier — they have no trams, no potholes, and no Riga residents.
