I have one of those too!
Who wants to attack Russia? I mean, aside from the entire democrat party were all but declaring war against them.
This rods form god thing I keep seeing here is thoroughly unfeasible at this time.
Do the math on the wight up getting such a thing into orbit, secondly do that math on the need mass of a platform to launch the rods accurately if the existed.
Maybe someday, not now.
Only good at shooting down Malaysian Air or Korean Air flights
Not to worry. Rocky and Bullwinkle will foil their evil plot.
But can it TARGET a stealth aircraft?
Yeah but we have the Alhpa-Omega.
Is that the Tactical Women’s Assault Team ?
S-500 meet MIRV!
If I were a Russian I’d hope this version of the AA missile system works better than the S-400 system which failed to protect some very important targets in Syria.
"We're Licking Him!"
LOL! This is only interesting in the fact that the Chinks are doing the RusKie’s disinfo op! Why would they do that....Hmmm...?
Amen!
This is all just misinformation designed to distract from their real weapon....the Ed 209
Luckily, our scientists created the USA-600, which is capable of neutralizing a 500 by over 100 points in video simulators.
The most deaths (likely) ever produced by Soviet/Russian Air Defense happened subsequent to 28 May 1987. However those deaths came from within the Air Defense establishment when a West German amateur pilot, Mathias Rust (18), landed a Cessna 172P near Red Square, having flown from Helsinki, Finland to Moscow, USSR. He WAS detected multiple times, but as a single, obviously light aircraft blip, the missile defenses never got a ‘fire’ order!
It is speculated that the ‘egg-on-face’ resulting from this stunt enabled Mikhail Gorbachev to remove several key military opponents to his liberalization efforts (perestroika). Rust was arrested, tried and sentenced to 4 years in labor camps. However, within a year, Gorbachev and Reagan signed the Medium-Range Nuclear Missile Treaty and Rust was released after 14 months of jail.
Systems are only good as the personnel and training that controls them. No one will tolerate a system that fires automatically and thus there are always ways to spoof and penetrate while the opponent is paralyzed by doubt!
Libya
Propaganda unlimited.
Seeing as how Turkey recently defeated one of the Russians air defense systems in the Middle East using drones, talking up Russian weapons must be the CCP directive of the week.
