Sorry, I mean China is drawing its numbers. US and Russians seems more close to reality, albeit you know, there is always something hidden.
Defense as % of GDP (Heavyweight league):
1. USA: 4%
2. Russia: 2.8%
3. China: 2.2% (:eek:)
Poor Ukrainians. They don’t ever know those radares are built in concrete and can not be re-directed to look on Russia. This only shows the ignorance of the orange guys. The Russians must be laughing, rigth now.
Then Russia (who was CLEARLY just looking for an excuse and prepared for it) stomps Georgia into the dirt when they respond to Ossetia and it’s all Georgia’s fault? If a friend goes and provokes some little punk into taking a swing at him and I beat the guy who took the swing into a coma for it who do you think’s going to jail?
False. Georgians started provocations with mortar barrages against the Ossetian capital. After the Ossetian snipers started to decimate the mortar platoons, the Georgians launched an all-out attack that can be only possible after a well planned build-up. Finally the Russians entered and appropriately beat the Georgians. They are to blame for the outcome. I.e. I can’t imagine the Spanish army MLRSing Bilbao just because of the ETA.
Exactly! Good point. The Georgians had tech superiority over the hardware used by the Russians. I.e. no T-80 no T-90, no Su-27, no Smerch. Supposedly the Georgians also had a decent US-Israel training but they disintegrated easily after confronting a C-class equipped Russian force. The only explanation is … superior Russian skills and very experienced troops taken from Chechnya. The ironic note is that the Russians were forced to build the counter-attacking force “on the move” without previous build-up contrarily to the careful Georgian build-up.
Some serious lessons must be taken by the Georgians, and… please don’t mess with the bear again.
Apparently the Georgian armoured formations disintegrated very fast after the first Russian push. How those old T-62s did take so easily the Georgian Israeli-modernized T-72?
So it seems that the Poles extracted the quantity of money that they hoped obtain. Mr. Tusk seems to be a really smart guy. The small twin offered all just for free.
Russians will certainly not spend an expensive Iskander missile on a useless target. Saakashvili is an extremely powerfull MRLS (Multiple rocket-lies system) 😀
Sorry. End of off-topic.
Cossacks, Chechens? Yea, also the Baku-Ceyan duct bombed, also Russian armoured columns surrounding Tiflis, also Iskander targeting hospitals, also …
If the Georgians would have a fire-power similar to Saakashvili’s lies-power they surely would have won the war. :p

So, after all it seems that the “small missiles” will be inducted on the Triumph system.
RPG, What trust do you expect? Just a guess. Thanks.

Too much noise to be “wet dreams”.
Is that the idea behind the Brazilian-Argentinean sub? Supposedly, and AFAIK, the Brazilians will place a compact Argentinean reactor into a French designed conventional vessel.
Otaku, is NIIP working on AESA?
Now I’m not a radar engineer, but isn’t this ‘high density T/R module packaging’?
I don’t know.
