Amazing…

Robert Ferrin

Now you know why Russia is number one in the missile department.!!

Science,space,techonolgy,truth,these really worked too!

History. The USSR was 10 years ahead of the world in Space Exploration. That 10 years gave them a decade lead in rocket technology that their closest competitor has not yet been able to close.

In aerospace technology too. Even the deadbeat NASA uses Russian rockets for space launch.

Amen.

Really? In what universe. The USA is currently 30 years ahead of the Russkies in air defense missile systems, radars systems, stealth tech, space rocket tech, and airborne radar systems. FACT.

Russkies still use outdated passive electronically scanned radar designs from the early Cold War. FACT. Russkie air defense missiles are INCOMPARABLE to the US AEGIS SM-3 or SM-6 long range/extra long range missiles with HTK (kinetic) warheads.

Russkies don’t have 1 single interceptor that uses HTK capability. Their radars are too inaccurate and unsophisticated for that.

would love to see a couple or 3 or 4 land on an aircraft carrier’s deck and see the havoc caused. guess they, the disintegrating states of A will station their 10 or 11 carriers far far away, like tristan da cunha or some such islands safely out of the way, particularly when the Iranians put their minds to it and turn out supersonic missiles to take out the riffraff (under-educated american soldiers/sailors) polluting the oceans.

I guess the Russian military are just itching to use their new weapons in anger. Let’s hope the US MIC and its cheap talk doesn’t give them a valid reason.

Ha Ha! So tough with a 1970 design that entered service in 1983! An outdated Soviet missile. The USA and Israel are so scared! :-]
