Nice one.

Those are hilarious no doubt...but i dont think you posted it in the appropriate spirit.

Everyone can find articles on hilarious stuff about other countries and make a mockery of it.......like there is any shortage of such hilarious articles on the US armed forces

There may not be, but you genearlly aren't going to find US soldiers ripping off an APC to go buy liquor, or smoking weed when guarding the NUCLEAR WEAPONS. And these weren't posed to entirely to be funny. I personally thought these were pretty scary incidints. Funny yes, but pretty scary too.

"Only worth $35 million" You should think about becoming a comedian. First of all F/A-22 now costs $120 million, and they are worth $80 million. By the way, the U.S got S-300s from Croatia.

YA S-300 THE OL STUFF, WE'VE BEEN USING THE S-300-PMU-2 for like 6 years and the officialy the S-400 is online now, all though the S-500 and 600 are unofficialy online too.

Well.. so what. They may be working on a secret plane that flys backwards and being secret means little. The US/UK stuff is the one flying machine that go's from point A to point B in a flash without radar detection.

Seems to me secret stuff is interesting, but only when it has a significant offence advantage over non-allies.

NW guy u say that Russian media is under Govt control that's a steriotype veiw ....it dosent have the spirit of "deny ignorance "

as Siberiantiger pointed out you NON russians are made to believe worst things about Russia by Hollywood films and Western Media ...there are drawbacks in the modern russian system as in any other system but the real Russia is 100% different from what you people are being showed ........We russians know it very well that our state Television is under Govt Control .......but media in any country direct or inderect remains under state control...difference is we russians know that NO NEWS SOURCE IS INDEPENDENT (and we have resasons to believe in that after viewing all those junks in the BBC CNN etc) but you people out there are too ignorant to believe that your media systems are independent .......
dont frget Russia is still the second largest defense spender in the planet

you say about rating of transparency ....?statitics? ...ha ha ha...that subject has got no future..(Bin Laden gave you the proof)

bofore digesting all those news about govt control on press in russia i ll suggest you to go through the popular Russian news papers
viz
1 pravda
2 moscow times
3 st petersburg times
4 nos news
etc U LL BE SURPRISED TO FIND THEY ARE FULLLLLLLL OF CRITISISMS of the Govt

and if you really want to know the condition of todays russia ...make a visit to the country you will discover that the whole international Media is a MYTH INDUSTRY

NOW this is semi-sarcasem but also a point, so what so what if the Gov controls the media Imeawn every Gov has a general controlment of the media, but they way you Americans imply about Russia's is that the Gov TOTALY controls what we see/hear read, that my friend I CAN vouche and tell you it's NOT TRUE AT ALL.
