On the website of the President of the Czech republic -Václav Klaus-, a letter was posted regarding the detainment of Ivan and Martin. In this letter, the Czech President writes the Greek President about situation
Dear Mr. President,
Allow me to contact you in the matter of two Czech citizens who have been arrested in Greece and charged with espionage. This matter is extremely sensitive to the Czech public and I – as a president of the country – am not and cannot be indifferent to the fate of our citizens anywhere in the world either. I do not doubt that the Greek democratic authorities – police, office of the state attorney and courts – will handle this unfortunate situation in an entirely unbiased manner. I do not wish to interfere in their work with this letter in any way.
Despite that, I would like to kindly ask, dear Mr. President, that you monitor this unfortunate matter from your position with special care – especially considering the excellent relations between our nations and countries – to ensure that further development does not unnecessarily cast a shadow over our relations. Once more I would like to assure you that I am certain our citizens will be treated according to the full extent of the law during the search for justice by the Greek authorities.
With utmost respect, Václav Klaus
Greece reacts to Klaus’ letter, invites Czech consul.
On the Czech television primetime news, new information was released regarding the political involvement of the case of Ivan and Martin. The highest levels of Greek diplomacy have gotten involved in the matter of two Czechs detained in Greece due to photographing on the island of Lemnos. Immediately after the Greek President received a letter from [Czech President] Václav Klaus the head of President’s office has invited the Czech consul to a meeting.
Limnos Radio has published a interview with Marek Spanel:
We had a short interview with Marek Spanel regarding the situation with Ivan Buchta and Martin Pezlar:
With the current situation of Martin Pezar and Ivan Buchta detained in Greece we decided to get some answers from the Big Boss of Bohemia Interactive. After 3 written statements on the Bohemia Interactive website and quite some time of silence, we send out our reporter Jerry Hopper to get a response from Marek Spanel – Ceo at Bohemia Interactive.
This is the first mission I have released. It is my own imagining of the events that led to the first Chernarussian civil war and the forming of the Chedaki. In 1997, three brothers, ethnic Russians, return from hunting to find their village has been raided by a gang of Nationalist thugs, and go looking for revenge.
Features: -Fully voice-acted -Atmospheric but inobtrusive music -Intro cinematic -Overview and loading screen -Threat Indicator -MP Parameters: Show Intro and Show Threat Indicator -Random elements, such as enemy numbers, paths, weapons and ammo
Notes: The mission was originally designed for co-op and can be played by three people, however there are some minor locality issues that I haven't yet been able to fix, so I'm just releasing it for single player at the moment. Dropping the file into your MPMissions folder will allow co-op play.
Ivan and Martin, now in jail for more than two months, have recently learned that their appeal had been rejected by the Greek court and therefore are to be standing on trial for espionnage.
This is the occasion for us to ask you to do everything you can to help, now more than ever.
In order to do this please go to the official Help Ivan and Martin Website and sign the petition if you didn't already. If you're willing to help even further you can send a letter to an EU representative using the model and the representative list provided here you can also send a postcard to our favorite developpers via this link in order to raise their morale !

Double Doppler has announced that he's working on a Taser Mod for ArmAII on the BIS Forums.
I'm here to announce that I am working on the Taser Pack for Arma 2. I noticed there are few (if none at all) Taser mods for Arma 2 (some "life communities" created some but they are restricted to their mod pack...), so I thought I would take up the challenge to create one, to gain a bit of experience with the skills involved in addon creation. Here is one that can be used by everybody!
Included in this mod will be working Taser scripts, special effects and high quality models. It will be released to the public when it is finished, and would be great for police/role play communities who use Tasers quite often, and also insurgency players who want to subdue insurgents for restraining etc. Say goodbye to those makarov "stun pistols"
Current Features: -3D Models, Textures & Configs Created From Scratch -Taser X26 (Black & Yellow) -Taser X3 (Black & Yellow) -Custom Taser-style muzzleflashes -Working flashlight on all variants -Custom Taser sound effects -Emmissive CID unit -Purpose built effect scripts (MP Compatible & Life Mission Compatible) -Works in SP with AI too -Drive stun mode -Ability to incapacitate a player/unit for 30 seconds -Custom pain effects will be displayed when hit by a taser round -Realistic ammo loadouts - X26 mags carry only 1 round, and X3 mags carries 3 rounds -Perfect for insurgency military enthusiasts, and "Life Mod" communities
sv5000 has released a replacement config for the CDF Su-24MK addon on the BIS Forums.
This replacement config came about because i was using both TK extension and PCDF (Both super mods and I highly recommend them). The original gltSU-24 came out with this awesome beast for the russian and taki factions. The woodland camo was a little annoying for the taki's, but it was a great addon that gave the TK's a great strike bird. With the coming about of the TK extension by wld427 this gave the takis the su24 in a desert scheme.
So i dug into the old thread about the SU-24 with the intention of asking about skins for it and saw the original pics for this bird in CDF colours. a little digging in the pbo and some coding of a new config and here you go, the SU-24MK for the CDF.
All credits to the original creators of this super aircraft, [FRL]Myke for permission to release, cheers mate.

monovdd has released a alpha of his addon EODmyDOG on the BIS Forums that requires A2:CO and CBA.
