Very interesting topic.
Makes me think of Ahmadinejad's comment not so long ago that nukes were obsolete.
nuclear-news.net...
Khrushchev proclaimed that the Soviet Union intended to reduce its standing armed forces by a third in the next year or two, from 3,623,000 to 2,423,000.
Yet, as Khrushchev unrolled some details, he made it clear that he was not being a bit impractical. "Our air force and navy," said Khrushchev, waving a stubby finger at his listeners, "have lost their previous importance. Their arms are not being reduced but replaced. We have cut down and we shall even discontinue the manufacture of bombers; already our armed forces have to a considerable extent shifted to rocket and nuclear arms. The proposed reduction will in no way reduce the firepower of our armed forces, and this is the main point. . . Soviet scientists have made it possible to equip our army with weapons hitherto unknown to man."
"It is now quite clear," Khrushchev went on, "that the U.S. is not the world's most powerful military power. We are not trying to sweat anybody, but these are the facts." Rattling his rockets in the style he used to assail Western "military circles" for doing a few years ago, Khrushchev promised to "wipe from the face of the earth" any aggressor, and boasted: "Though the weapons we have now are formidable indeed, the weapon we have today in the hatching stage is even more formidable. The weapon, which is being developed and is, as they say, in the portfolio of our scientists and designers, is a fantastic weapon." (U.S. Atomic Physicist Ralph E. Lapp guessed that the Russians might be planning an H-bomb to orbit the earth indefinitely, ready on signal to plunge down on any terrestrial target.)

Yeah , i am involved in the military and all of this is under my nose ... perhaps this Cold War between the US and Russia is in a much more dangerous situation than many of us think ........ this is getting more scary the more i think about it. This is worrying my greatly. Not because my life will be lost .. but the threat to this nation that has been increased ...
Perhaps that Drone being brought down by Iran (Russia's Butt buddy) ... isn't so far-fetched for people to believe now.
(In my opinion ... this thread sort of just confirmed the ability of Iran bringing a somewhat advanced drone down un damaged, and links the US with the how much trouble the Russians are having with their space program - in other words .. we don't want them to have what we have in space)
I seriously hope i can get some people in this thread that know how to do research and look at this information. This is getting freaky for me , how do i help defend my country against weapons like this. This is making me mad. I am probably going to go ahead and go to bed.
I am beginning to rethink our interest in Iran. They could possibly have weapons that could obliterate an Entire Division US armed forces and their aircraft , of course sacrificing their own men , though again most of their (elite) units are confirmed radicals of Islam. So that isn't a problem ... Iran could honestly give us a whole lot more problems if Russia is giving them a tenth of this information.
Perhaps Iran has more advanced technology than Nukes or are in the process of getting this technology. With such a Radical government in power .... could the US simply be using true , but a low-key way to interrupt the Iranian government from dealing with this technology? Notice .. most of this technology deals with Nuclear advancement. Maybe they truly do not want nukes .. but need nuclear unique chemicals for something much better than a Nuke?
In my opinion this information presented just opened a whole new ballpark in my head for conspiracy .. i am thinking Iran is a much bigger threat than we think. Iran goes off and attacks Israel or the US with one these things ... it will weaken us and focus our armed forces on a single continent .. imagine what Russia could do to obliterate our Armed forces focused in an Area in a country the size of Iran? Of course we will retaliate .... if they don't have that figured out too.
In my opinion , i somehow managed to connect a few possibilities and likely what ifs (In my mind) to the information presented and makes it that much more freaky to me... man this has me stirred!edit on 04/30/2011 by milkyway12 because: (no reason given)

I think the most telling part in the link you pasted was this
Normally I try to stick with facts backed by news reports etc. when I write an article but with this one because there’s so little verifiable information I will have to leave it to the readers imagination and maybe even somebody may have facts and can enlighten us in the comment section.
Emphasis is mine of course, but there are no real facts here just supposition and imagination.

What Rogers did not highlight was the fact the vehicle was never certified to operate in temperatures that low. The O-rings, as well as many other critical components, had no test data to support any expectation of a successful launch in such conditions. Bob Ebeling from Thiokol gave this severely succinct analysis: "we’re only qualified to 40 degrees ...‘what business does anyone even have thinking about 18 degrees, we’re in no man’s land’"
from the Rogers Commission....
That should be a VERY alarming link
Why? It is just made up nonsenseedit on 19-1-2012 by spoor because: (no reason given)

Challenger was destroyed due to seals failing due to cold weather, nothing to do with any magical weapon
What part of cold weather dont you understand?

This weapon is stronger than nuclear weapons because its consequences are different, and there is no antidote. This is where its strength lies. There is no way of defending against it. It is the same with the sonic weapon. We also have this. What happens is that the cartridge detonates, and the sound is such that it brings down an entire military division. That is it; they are dead. . . . The elipton has the same effect. There is no radiation, no fire. There are no wounds. And entire military division simply dies. It is similar to the neutron weapon, but the latter has radiation. It has a damaging effect. The neutrons enter the human body; those cause the destruction. With the former, there is no damage, but all of life is immediately destroyed. Russian scientists developed it exclusively..........
Pretty scary.
