The United States has lost its competence in the production of small space satellites

Does Russian GPS even do what it says on the tin yet RT?

And you have seen the likes of Starlink like other posters suggested?

Now other codes are used, I don't know them. But it is not a fact that they were also deciphered by Russian cryptologists, and Russia has no more NATO secrets that they do not know. It is very interesting.

Not being facetious but thats broken English, alas I'm not quite sure what you mean.

Do you mean Russia knows all of NATO's secrets?

Or that Russia no longer lacks any NATO secrets?

Either way i imagine there is quite a bit that Russia has yet to determine regarding NATO secrets.

Too may secrets anyway.

If people were willing to put their real cards on the table cooler heads could prevail.

are you of the mindset that only Russia has this capability?

Do you really need to ask!?!?!?

According to RT only Russian can build Space Tech thats any good and actually works, weapons that work, and even more hilariously, unstoppable hypersonic missiles ( don't tell him Ukraine keeps shooting them down!!), and aircraft thats better than any American aircraft.
I couldn't stop laughing when he claimed Putin flew the "New" Tu-160 Blackjack! I told him America from the 60s called and they wanted their blueprints back.

Okay, I see no one here understands what we are talking about. I'm not talking about Starlink satellites measuring 10x10 cm, which can only relay the Internet signal. We are talking about reconnaissance satellites of small size, but with a full range of functions.
An example from the recent past. Recently there was an international scandal at the diplomatic level that Russian inspector satellites were approaching American reconnaissance satellites, and they allegedly did something with them. The American reconnaissance satellite is three times the size of the Russian one, and in addition to reconnaissance equipment, it has an autonomous engine that can change its orbit. But the amount of fuel is limited. Russian satellites, in addition to a set of equipment and engines, have a much smaller size and a much larger fuel volume.
A Russian inspector satellite approaches an American satellite. The latter runs away from him, changing his orbit. The Russian catches up with him. The American runs away again. And so on until the American runs out of fuel, loses functionality, enters the upper atmosphere and burns up. The Russian flies further and performs his functions.
Now it is clear?

Ever hear of the Boeing X37?

You might want to leave our satellites alone.

"Russian satellites, in addition to a set of equipment and engines, have a much smaller size and a much larger fuel volume".

How so?

Oops

Meant to reply to RT.

Boeing X37 is a perfect illustration of my post.
A huge and very expensive device, the functions of which are performed by dozens and perhaps hundreds of much smaller in size and cost, but with the same functionality, Russian small satellites.

There are always issues with new methods of doing things. But the good thing about the US is that is not under any real sanctions and supply chains will be worked out.
Russia, on the other hand, is having to incorporate old technology from previous generations of tanks and planes into it's latest models due to lack of availability of the newer tech. This is due to the sanctions. Russia is moving backwards while the west keeps moving forward.

You don't know what it's "functionality" is. And you have nothing like it.

Do tell. What "functionality" do your little satellites have that the West doesn't?

Give us more sanctions. They are reviving our economy and turning the Western economy into trash.

No, it's because they see through Putins propaganda machine.

Russian advanced machinery is needed for all these advance weapons systems and space tech, and it's mostly American supplied machines, which has dried up very quickly due to sanctions.

So your cheap satalites are that because thats all Russia can build now. I wouldn't be suprised if some of them look very familar to old sputnik parts!!

a reply to: network dude

Next it will be "Russian cars are better than Western cars"?

Anyway, isn't there quite enough space junk up there without Russia adding more?

Other than propaganda?

When people of the world think of advanced tech, their first thoughts go to Russia. lol.

It's already junk and the Russians haven't even launched it yet!!

That's actually funny. Using ancient parts on your new tanks and planes sure doesn't sound like your economy is getting better. Wasn't it you that had a post stating that poverty was at an all time high in russia? Russia has also been steadily losing military equipment contracts, which is why your military development is slowing.

No one is panicking about some old hand me downs.

a reply to: RussianTroll

Thats Ukrainian equipment gifted to them by the west.
At least it got to Moscow, is the display of ex-NATO equipment there because Russian equipment has been blown up and can't be shown!!
Russia doesn't have enough trucks for all the broken down parts of whats left of Russia tanks!

American small satelite lauches are so common now, I don't think they make the news any more, I think places like Vandenberg and Cape Canaveral are more like bus depots/stops these days....

a reply to: RussianTroll

Look, I know you get paid to do the whole "Mother Russia is Greatest" thing, but the truth is, you can't keep up.

Technology.
Military.
Economy.

You don't even come close.

If you so worried about space tech, let me know when you have a successful mission to mars [ yours' failed after less than 2 minutes ] or maybe sent probes out of the solar system ? No ?
Voyager is still sending signals.

All due respect to Yuri Gagarin, the man had balls of steel, but you've been falling behind ever since.
