You think Russias supersonic missiles are capable of beating our laser missile defense systems? Methinks not. I don't know how far they've come with the tech, but I think a few (give or take) years ago they had working models on planes.

Chris Wallace: “Do you think, as misguided as it may be, that some of our enemies think President Trump is more vulnerable because of the impeachment?” Pompeo: “You should ask Mr. Soleimani.”
Americans would be wise to brace for war with Iran.
Full-scale conflict is not a certainty, but the probability is higher than at any point in decades. Despite President Trump’s oft-professed desire to avoid war with Iran and withdraw from military entanglements in the Middle East, his decision to order the killing of Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, Iran’s second most important official, as well as Iraqi leaders of an Iranian-backed militia, now locks our two countries in a dangerous escalatory cycle that will likely lead to wider warfare.
How did we get here? What are the consequences of these targeted killings? Can we avoid a worse-case scenario?

These aircraft are known to support shadowy Joint Special Operations Command.
