The predator drone can do 300 mph.

The Russians must some fast planes.

I’ve read the book. I wondered who the bane is in this case... the foil, as it were.

MQ-1 Predator
http://www.af.mil/AboutUs/FactSheets/Display/tabid/224/Article/104469/mq-1b-predator.aspx
Power plant: Rotax 914F four-cylinder engine
Thrust: 115 horsepower
Speed: cruise speed around 84 mph (70 knots), up to 135 mph

The Russian MIG-29, 4 decades old fighter
http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/mig29/
The maximum and cruise speed of the aircraft are 2,400km/h (1491 mph) and 1500km/h (932 mph)

Most of the bi-planes from WW1 would outrun the Predator.

You post: “ NATO is an oligarch bankster debt collection, extortion, destabilization and punishment schematic that is trying to start WWIII because the oligarchy is uncomfortable about the quantity of data about their methods and organizational structure available on the Internet.”

FINALLY - someone who gets it! Thank you!

and they are hell bent to establish The New World Order.

Putin is death against NWO...

And NATO was ready to install NWO in The Ukraine and The Crimea...which is why they asked for Russia’s help. they did NOT invade The Crimea. They brought in their troops, at the invitation of The Crimea, and lined them on the border of the Ukraine.

NATO and US Troops are now in all the small countries bordering Russia. What would WE be saying if Russian troops were on ‘training exercises- training the troops in those countries’ in CUBA and Canada and Mexico - next to our borders?

the NWO, aka Agenda 21, is what got Kennedy killed. He Loved America. He was an historian. He found out about the NWO. He made a speech that he was going to expose them and stop them. It was his last speech.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrfDsAWJAhw

Papa Bush was at the organizing summit in RIO re the NWO/Agenda 21. He planned on it’s establishment. Oh, you didn’t know? Well, Here ya go.

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=George+H.W.+Bush+one+world+orderhttps:

Putin is NATO/NWO’s #1 enemy.

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Putin+NWO

It’s combination of two evil entities, both determined to rule the world: the NWO/AGENDA 21 and the reestablishment of the Caliphate. And he who does not know World History (which is not being taught anymore) is doomed to repeat it.

What is going on right now is far more than what we see on the surface.

And he who believes what the media feeds them - and/or choose ONLY to believe what fits their personal agenda...deserves what they get.

The rest of us know that we should ALWAYS ‘watch the other hand!”

We have pure evil at the helm in this country. We need a leader who loves this country and who knows and will hold the courts/Congress and Senate TO THE LAW. A leader whose past reflects this - not just his current rhetoric.

Do research, folks. You have it all at your fingertips.

I don’t think it is guaranteed that the Russians can’t track an F22.

Would not be easy and software would need a good bit of data before it could become reliable... but there is a tiny radar return from stealth aircraft.

Doubtful that the radar in another aircraft could track an F22 until it was pretty close though and no missile could track it with on-board sensors.

Stealth allows you to get closer to a target before it can see you...it doesn’t make you invisible.

I read that some F22’s were sent over recently. They will not be able to overfly Syria without the Russians knowing about it..IMO
