Especially in the stealth dept. Russia has NEVER flown a stealth aircraft. Not a one. (Slapping RAM on a conventional aircraft doesn’t make it a stealth aircrft). The US has flown nearly (if not more than) two dozen types of stealth vehicles over the last 40 years. Actually FLOWN the hardware. To think that Russia is going to eclipse that on their first go is hilarious.
Experience is not knowledge,talent or capability to be able to achieve beyond all endeavours. If it were the Russians who started stealth technology earlier and the US comes on later into it, I bet you would have said that the newer or latest US stealth would have been better than the established Russian advancedments in the the stealth technological arena.
Mr. Chavez has a ticket to fly on one of the bombers.Wow.
The Strategic bomber can come and go – brilliant!!
They can even be some 2000km away from the US landmass some where in the North Atlantic or the Pacific and launch those deadly X555 stealthy cruise
missiles and the game is over. This is a nation(Mr. loud mouth) who cannot even internally defend itself against mere civilian aircrafts, radars cannot even detect a deviation of passenger airliners from their normal routes until the inevitable happened— may they rest in peace.
Check the daily news. Not too long ago, Putin promised a response to the deployment of US warships into the Black Sea.
He kept his word.
I mean they, sure know who the man Putin is.
I mean the two ships USS McFaul and the flagship Mount Whitney, just disappeared immediatly after the so called humanitarian delivery. Mount Whitney was even trailed, and Russian destroyers were 3km away from them.
Just came into my mind, if you were to chase a flying saucer, what aircraft would you choose for that?
Sooner or later this super weapon would give the UFO run for their money.

You know, it’s like asking why the Georgians didn’t down the whole Russian AF/destroy all their forward armoured elements in spite of having a rather modern integrated AD system, better tanks and better Su-25 than the Russkies have had. The question cannot be reduced in such a manner.
Because obselete Russian weapon is far more effective than modern and sophiscated US weapons when used properly by intelligent adversary.
Where are Mr. GarryB and Flex297 my buddies?
Where is my buddy Mr. GarryB?
Yeah and the future Death Star the US is building will make those redundant.
In what kinematic class is future Death star ?
The US mut master hypersonic systems first, light years from achieving that.
The last Russian leader to go toe to toe with the US was 2-3 leaders ago. Putin maybe old school middle management, but he doesn’t know what he is inviting. Russia should stick to picking on countries more it’s own size, like the UK.
What is Russia inviting?, Vietnam went toe-to-toe with the US and stuck its tail in her legs to run away like scared and defeated dog,let alone Russia.
US can certinaly leave Western Europe but it cannot leave Eastern Europe.
I think it is the other way around,the US can leave eastern europe and cannot leave western europe. Without Western Europe US has no influence in the world. Russia is proving to the world that it doesn’t need to have 26 alliances to strenghen her. The US always does, our partners this and our partners that. The US is a big coward when push comes shove and always need support for her existence.
A single nation with 148 million people and only a little over $trillion GDP squaring off with 27 nations with over $30 trillion combined GDP and almost 700 million people and basically holding them at bay. It is just like one heavyweight champion against another heavyweight champion plus other 26boxers in other weights in a square ring.
US is a second rate superpower, mark my words their influence is in free fall.Here in Europe people are laughing at them, ordinary people are asking where is the sole superpowder,not the sole superpower.
And BTW if he thinks parading American bodies for the media will give him a boost he’s sadly mistaken
Russia doesn’t need a boost from anybody. Russia did what he had to do -simply kick the hell out of Georgia from South Ossetia and the US can’t do and wouldn’t a mosquitoe’s bite.
Putin just want to embarass the US and be furious at them.
In some fews days time, Russian TU-160 and TU-95 bombers would land in Cuba for re-fuelling and of course it would be a practise that would continue.
It doesn’t mean these bombers would be stationed there, but that would certainly occur if finally the missile interceptors are placed in Poland and the Radar in Czech respectively.
Sure some nukes would be on the bombers as Russia general claimed there were around 100 tomahawk cruise missiles nuke-tipped on USS MacFaul destroyer- be careful America. This is the latest story.
A passport of US soldier found near the village of Tshkinvalli in the conflict zone. I don’t know if the soldier is dead or not. According to Putin’s CNN interview, he asserted that a general informed him of US persoonels presence in the conflict zone.
