May I suggest you need to look a little closer at their “Christianity” and what is going on with Putin, Aleksander Dugan and the corrupt Russian Orthodox Church before making silly claims like that.

Whoever made them

They are deadly and fairly practical

A half ton projectile at 5500/mph

Is that about right?

No need for explosives really

Russia has physicists the equal of ours, they may have had some espionage info to get started, but they are quite good on their own.

>You mean they copied what was developed at Dahlgren Surface Warfare Center

More likely they stole the design. US cyber securty is a joke.

In some respects Russian scientists are better, in others not as good.

They are behind in computing, but ahead in math.

maybe so,
But at least their leader is willing to use this kind of crap against the crazy mooselimbs,
as opposed to out “leader” who is afraid to play battleship in the bathtub.

It used to be filled with KGB agent “priests”, did it not? Without looking into it, same old story?

Every time I turn around I see some thing talking about some Russian super weapon.

The only image that pops into my head is this guy:

"We will destroy them with my new 'Railgun Superweapon!"

Sure, they have good physicists, but the stuff has to be made by Russians.

The wire was wrapped around the spools; the metal around the eraser was attracted magnetically.

Give us your definition of “Christianity”. Please list each required criteria . Start with “1” and go numerically. You are expert enough to promote exclusivity , so we will all be very interested in your require positive elements . Appreciate your theological expertise.

But do they, the Russian government, pay attention to their work? The old Soviets blew off their own physicist’s theory on stealth aircraft and he ended working for Lockheed on the F-117 project. Lockheed used his published work to propose their design on the project even though they were not invited to submit (only Boeing and Northrup Grumman).

I'm sorry, but I fear that if I did do as you ask, you wouldn't believe me anyway. Nor would you understand it.

That is why you should look up those names yourself.

The media is just being flooded with stories of “superior” Russian and Chinese weapons. The video of the Chinese rocket intercepting an incoming warhead was the fakest thing I’ve seen since North Korea’s nuclear warplan against the United States. The graphics show that they’re unaware that the Earth is round.
