How is Russian economy wrecked.

Did they succumb to western pressure

Are they able to feed the people.

Are there more homeless in Russia than US

Did they turn on their government

NO NO NO NO NO

all you have is wishful thinking Soad, I mean Spad.

The economy is wrecked because it is a one trick pony so sanctions and low oil prices have wrecked it. Russia has placed price controls on food and while the variety may not be great most people can eat.

And yes their are more homeless people 5 million compared to 3.5 million in the US Homeless rates around the world

And the ones that so far have turned on their government have ended up dead, missing or in jail.

It is like your not even trying anymore.

This is an interesting thread ....it could also be said that the American governments is also a publicity stunt

Spad your numbers and links are just like that unemployment rate in US at 5.5 %

Or inflation rate at 2-3 %

You can take your numbers and your links and put it around cat's neck, just so cat can play with it

If you think this is true; what do you make of North Korea; a dangerous two dimensional cartoon that might become real; having nuclear ACME products that Warner brothers invented (not the black hole overlay Road Runner used) or the dynamite Wiley Coyote used). What is your problem with the American Government; are you incarcerated in one of our fine institutions?

Wow, so stating facts is being cocky now. Got it, I'll just start praising Russia as being the greatest now.

No they didn't. The RQ-170 isn't the latest generation stealth UAV, it is a filler designed to fill a need because the one that was going to perform the mission wasn't ready. It used off the shelf parts and a fairly standard design.

Even so, the Iranians are a lot smarter than you're giving them credit for. They've done wonders keeping their air force flying with tight sanctions against them, and no spare parts to be seen anywhere. They've updated and upgraded aircraft that should have been grounded years ago if they were too stupid to spoof a UAV.

It strikes me the only real stealth, is ground hugging until within range of your target. Surely theirs no such thing as stealth, until they make a plane with no heat signature. So in the last analysis, 70's technology still has a lot going for it. During exercises with the Americans, the Sky hawks were out manoeuvring the latest American military aircraft. That must tell you something. The Sky Hawks pilot was actually flying the plane, instead of monitoring a complex control panel.

The point of stealth is to reduce the detection range. Where an F-15 or F-16 is going to be detected at 250 miles, a stealth will be seen at 100 or less. There's no way to make it truly invisible, just harder to detect.

I see this; you already exist in a cardboard box you can easily escape from (no iron bars).

Outstanding! I cannot for the life of me find a way to get myself (soul/spirit) out of this RANDOM thrift store 'collie dog' painting.

I remember when a Mig 22? was recovered. The thing was so heavy (riveted like a battleship) everyone looking at it wondered how this thing even got off the ground. It had the capacity to do one flight intercept *return to base*.

Reduce the radar profile. It works.

I remember a story a long time ago where the U.S spent a bucket load of money of making a pen work in space...The Russians just shrugged and used pencils !!

Then all that means is you believe in lies when they are anti-american/pro-Russian.

So now even the Russian Government is on it? Those are their stats after all. You calling the Russians liars? I know you do not like things like facts, numbers, statistics and prefer to just sort of make things up but, at some point you have to put forward some sort of evidence to support your wild ideas if you ever want anybody to take them seriously.

There is probably a sliver of truth to it..what I mean is I bet very few really know what the best weapons that have been developed or in development are..why show your hand..unless your bluffing.

Honesty? I don't think the Russians can maintain their dinosaurs or have the money to fund any research/development (new tech), those they sold off to middle eastern forces (Iraq) are failing (its a parts and maintenance problem). Did anyone see those bombers sent on the 4th of July off the coast of CA and AK? They looked like dead old antiquated American made B52 Stratofortress crossed with a U2 glider (someone was totally blind in the reengineering on the Soviet end) from the 50s? BEWARE THIS PLANE CAN CARRY NUCLEAR WEAPONRY. Sad. "HI THERE AMERICA!" (the soviet union sends its passive aggressive regards). Putin is not sane; he really needs to get with Kim Jong Un and create a baby one can decide to get behind in neutralizing (Oh there is that middle east thing).

YES. Convince them what exists DOES NOT ACTUALLY EXIST [its impossible]; this argument is happening before my eyes with intelligent people debating a given fact. Change the profile, kill the specie; its all the same and human ingenuity can accomplish this.
