Wow. Does Russia "issue" one of these releases a year? They are nearly identical.

LOL....it seems so : )

Maybe Russia is a little tenative now to crow about undertakings....especialy after the fiasco a year or so back when Brass showed up to watch missile launches during manuevers.
One missile flew off wildly and another glitched in the silo.
back to back screw ups.

Pravda made a gallant attempt to paint the reality a different color.
Then ran some articles later about the decline of Russia's military.
Wonder if someone went to a Gulag after that......maybe Joe Biden knows : )

Still...and apart from the **Canned news feeds.
Russia is about with advanced gen weapons which focus on jamming,multiple interface tie in on rotation in 4CI combat....and ya...3d movement

These weapons margin you cannot assure you have them down after engagement.
You are definitley on the defensive...and thats what an opponent is wanting in fluidic battle.

These weapons are not likely to have wopping punch unless they are micro boosted nukes.
Plasma and phasic discharge weapons are just around the corner.
you get EMP'd...burnt to a crisp...and the detonation value is high yeild.

Once energy module's which prime this type of system is scale'd down.....these are sure to be the hammer of choice.

Just around the corner could be 20 yrs.....or less.
Plasma guns allready exist and are being scaled down in components.

Thank you very much for this explanation; appreciate it. And yes, I think you are right that this will be "around the corner" before we know it: Plasma and phasic discharge weapons. These would be so much more manageable and portable than a missile booster.

Light Speed? You heard anything about Russia/France joint space programs? Few years back, I was digging into that; I was surprised at the time to see them working together.
