The SS-24 was suppose to replace SS-19s in silos I think, but I’m not sure if there are any left in the silos..
The Iraqi pilots are my favorite..
No 🙁
The train carried ones all went goodbye just 7 months ago if not a bit more I think..
All hail the Mach 3+ Mig-25 🙂
So much for “stealthy” Israeli ships though lol.. If this thing could find that ship (from a bunch of guys on the shore firing it) god help Israel if anyone serious ever attacks their Navy..
If something like the SS-N-22 Sunburn was used, ouch.. :rolleyes:
50 or so Topol-Ms I think.
Thanks Garry, Neptune.
Also, how are the accuracy/guidance systems of the SS-18/19/25/27 compared to one another?
Also, are the SS-N-18/20/23 MIRVed?
Is this THE one and only ship that just got hit? Cause on Yahoo! news they were saying it was a rcontrol UAV that hit the ship :S
The Kh-58 has an CEP of 20m I think..
Did Russia sell the Iranians the TOR yet? Israel would be in some serious **** if they even try anything with Iran. Not cause of the the TOR or anything, but Iran actually has *some* weapons.

What about that insane crap the Soviets pulled off at Orenburg?
That was pretty ridiculous, eh?
Ahh, how much does the SS-18 payload weight?
8.8 tons.. bah.. this new mobile missile with 4.4 tons of payload is a kiddy toy compared to the good old Satan..
The SS-18 is just nasty. A 25MT warhead or 10-14 600KT+ ones 😐
It they made it any bigger, they could stuck a Czar Bomb onto it
The flash from that thing is 600 miles visible.. like people in NY could see the flash in Detroit..
Fact is a guy like you knows nothing of what’s really in Russia, or the Russian Armed Forces. You just ramble on about what you THINK is there. Or what opinionanted article said. No first strike of any kind can deter Russia’s nuclear forces. There’s too many of them. And you should check the GDP #s on even http://www.cia.gov 🙂 It all works out. What propaganda? The current leftover Soviet arsenal will last till 2018 or so, or so says globalsecurity.org // and most would agree.
Your only half valid argument would be about the radar warning systems, but then again, can you show me evidence that they are not in good shape? REAL EVIDENCE.
Did you really read this article, buddy??? I think you didn’t, because you answered me only with bull****s! You have a plenty of evidences there that Russian deterrence under Putin falls far behind any level of rationality and moreover its future is even more dark. You stated there aren’t any facts in this article. Well, look at them and answer following questions:
1. Russia still reduces its nuclear arsenal up to about 10% level of its 1990’s strength. This stupid activity only makes easy success of US first strike. Yes or no???
No. There’s enough Nukes in 10% of 30,000+ to wipe out the USA 5 times over.
2. Russian early warning system is in shambles today and thus Russia is practically blind in the event of unexpected US attack. Yes or no???
You were there to see their readiness right? Or did that author visit that site firsthand and take photos of the sites with his handy Sony Digicam?
3. The readiness level and training of Russian nuclear systems is inadequate and thus negligible. It makes Russian retaliation capability far more insecure. Yes or no???
Refer to # 2.
4. US nuclear forces are now in process of hidden rearming. The best example is adaptation of ALL US SLBM warheads into hard target kill capability! Yes or no???
Can’t be hidden rearming if we know about it on this forum already, right? And what’s to say the Topol-Ms are all single warhead? 😉
5. This US nuclear buildup is aimed primarly against Russia and China but not against terrorists or rouge states because of its great scope. Yes or no???
Yeah it’s against Russia. I pity them if they even think of using it, even while being **** drunk at a White House party.
6. US first strike could supress all Russian nuclear forces and C3I systems. Precise proofs backed by simulations you should find at Intenational Security Website soon. Yes or no???
They were there first hand to find all ICBMs and SLBMs right? And THEN plan this “very accurate” simulation… ? :rolleyes:
7. US NMD system is viewed as a hedge against a few Russian warheads remaining after US strike. All US propaganda about rouge states missiles threaten America is only an excuse to cheat various suckers. Yes or no???
Early warning radars exist in the USSR/Russia like no other. There’s also spy satellites. The Russians aren’t morons, they will see it coming, why not? One way or another, and there’s more Strategic weapons in Russia now than you can imagine. Do you know how deep those SS-18s are kept? Or wait, will you tell me .. what they told you? 🙂
8. Quote: “And unless they reverse course rapidly, Russia’s vulnerability will only increase over time.” That is exactly also my point of view and as we can see I am not alone in it, as you still suspect! Yes or no???
Nah that’s total crap. Eventually the much loved Soviet weapons will find themselves in a museum.. but the Russians will by then operate a very highly modernized force of SS-27s, Bulavas, and whatever next missile they may want. Check out the economic reports.. GDP rise.. and what not.. It’s all good and getting better.
9. Serbia could withstand a long time NATO’s bombing campaign only because NATO didn’t attack with nuclear weapons, like Russia would! Yes or no???
What? NATO didnt use nukes, right.. like Russia would to do what? Attack? Attack who? The Russians since Soviet times, like Brezhnev and even Krushchev said, the Soviets will never fire first. Same with Russia. US attacks Russia.. goodbye planet.
Well, you should get sober and look seriously at this sad, incurious and precarious Russian reality!
Your witty remarks make you look like a fool. Please refer from doing it.
