Like Lend Lease in WWII so Russia could take back Ukraine.
At least, I hope that's the case.
Time to learn Russian or Chinese
You cannot make this stuff up.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
Please read my tagline (screaming to the US populace)
Note that the agency supplying MILES is the NNSA (National Nuclear Security Administration). The MILES gear is undoubtedly provided in sufficient numbers to enable training for nuclear weapons security forces. That won’t provide much capability for the Russian Army to be sure, and the Russian Army certainly won’t be uses their MILES lasers to overwhelm the Ukrainians. Hardly a scandal.
Ping.
This is unbelievable, sounds more like treason than a mistake. Congress will just keep huffing and puffing and huffing and puffing until one day this country will likely get nuked under this fraud in the WH. A moron paying attention is smart enough to see where this fraud is taking this country.
Perhaps just a minor point, but I can’t make out from this whether Obama is giving this to Russia as foreign aid, or selling it.
This is serious, those weapons could have gone to a US ally, like the Mexican drug Cartels through the ATF.
This is simply nuts!!
Obama deserves all the ridicule he gets!
Obama giving his lunch money to Putin.
Obama, the gift that keeps on giving....to Putin.
I will say it again “who luvs ya baby”.
Raise your hand if you’re the least bit surprised.
Waiting.
Still waiting.
Nope, didn’t think so.
MILES gear is old, old stuff, and it’s capability depends a lot on which part of the system is used...rifle adapters, planes, tanks...
The basic stuf is a harness with laser sensors on it, along with a a blank adapter (a screw-on barrel plug to block the gas from escaping down the barrel), and a little doohickey that triggers a low power IR beam when the membrane vibrates from a loud noise...or light tapping with your fingernail.
When the firearm is fired, the doohickey emits the laser beam. If the beam hits the sensor it sets off an alarm indicating the target is dead. Near hits will result in a single chirp. It is very much like laser tag, but allows soldiers to use their normal weapons while they train.
Too many excuses here with information from imaginations. MILES gear is very expensive. And yes, it makes a big difference against our nation. It was wrong to give it to the Russians.
It corrects some serious mistakes commonly made by trainees and common tactical errors made by leaders. Problem is, daydreaming bureaucrats and their trader constituents probably also gave some of our more important fire-and-maneuver training information to untrustworthy nations.
How much of a traitor does Obama have to be before Congress impeaches him & prosecutes him for treason?
