USA still afraid of Soviet weapons

The United States of America started to invest in the development of the Russian defense industry making mass purchases of Russian-made weapons. This news may sound like a joke, although it is true. For the time being, it goes about the purchase of several hundreds of man-portable missile systems Strela-2.

lol,USA is still afraid of outdated soviet weapons of, 60's



The USA virtually has to clear up the mess of its previous policies. Many Western experts say that at least one-third of NATO’s aviation losses in Afghanistan and Iraq occurred because of Stinger missile systems, which used to be delivered for Mujahideens to struggle against “the evil of communism.”

In addition to that, one has to give credit to Boris Shavyrin, who designed Strela-2 shoulder-fired missile complexes over 50 years ago. It just so happens that the USA is still afraid of Soviet weapons. Russia could easily sell the outdated Strela missile systems to other countries so that they could subsequently resell them to the USA.

First, it concludes that the USA is afraid after what evidence? A purchase of weapons does not mean the US is afraid, and I fail to see any connection between the two.

Second, what is the legitimacy of the website and it's info?

Third, it is a Russian website, not only do they have a natural slant, but the government in Russia controls the media.
