  1. 1. Lie. Actually Russia agreed to send Tom Cruise, but totalitarian regime StateDep denied for director to use Russian space ship. For propaganda purpose it is not best idea. So, StateDep promised arrive of new ship from SpaceX which will be possible to use. But SpaceX failed and almost two years later Russia sent own actors. Not specially for movie, but as ordinary experiment: how to rapidly prepare people for space. In past it took years, back in 1980s 2 years, 20 years ago 14 month, and now it took just 3,5 month. It is part of Lunar program. 2. Of course it can’t beat box office, because almost all world theaters controlled by U.S and they never allow to show other movies than own. As demonstration how they cares about this — after WW2 one of condition for France to get Marshall plan was obligatory to show U.S movies. But who cares about box office, in any encyclopedia, even 200 years later will be this movie, while Tom Cruise will be absolutely unknown (as we forgot all popular actors of 1920s, but everyone know first even movie).

  2. Who “we”? You? 1. For movie paid 3 commercial companies. And I’m sure you are not represent any of them. Russian state earned 20 million. 2. Movie will return perfect profit. Last project of company which make this movie in Russia brought $50 million and else more from rest world. 3. It is also part of state experiment. If not moviemakers, then would be launched some random guardian from nearest shop. Is it better? 4. Enysey cost $24 billions, why you even decide to mention this together? 24000 and 20 millions? 5. Enysey is not cancelled, cancelled oxygen-kerosene version, instead developing methane version. 6. Angara A7 just became A5V.

  3. Paid to whom? In Russia space industry in state property. When you paid for ticket, you paid right to state budget. When state launch rocket, from state point of view, it almost for free :) But if you are interesting, then: 1. It is part of experiment how to reduce time which need to prepare people for space. For comparison near 20 years ago Russia already planned to send actress to space (but she late, Mir station was closed), preparations took 1 year and 2 month. Now they were prepared just for 3 month. 2. For movie paid three commercial companies (including studio which make movie, it is just private company, famous enough in cinematography, as example Disney already few times ordered movies from them, tv series which they produce have dozens remakes in whole world).

  4. People above told nonsense, it have nothing common with so-called stealth. Flying wing/triangle shape allow to carry more weight, as result to fly more/longer range. Disadvantage of such shape — instability, complicated control, low speed (as you see, this plane have no vertical wings, it means it is slow). That’s why such shape was unpopular in previous decades (first flying wings and triangles arrived in USSR back in 1920s), now it got second breath regards to automatization. It is nice shape for drones. So, this one is companion drone for real fighters, carrier of additional weapons. While itself this is not fighter and of course not some 6th gen (from point of fly ability it is far even from 4th gen). While for stealth such shape give nothing at all. It is nice that it is flat, but only if radar emit it in exactly same surface, otherwise it have no point. Stealth in general have no point because works only in fantastical and unreal conditions, not in real life.

  5. They shooting movie. 30-40 minutes of it will be in space.

  6.  @Elrond_Hubbard1  Stop watching propaganda from nations which slavered almost whole planet and in real genocide erased bunch of cultures and civilizations, dozens of nations which non exist nowadays. They never told truth and always hated free world, hated China, own former colony which they also tried to exterminate but failed because of russian communists. Else one reason for they butthurt and hate.

  7.  @rayfinkle9369  In buildings with more than 5 floors must be lift. In buildings with more than 9 floors must be specially isolated independent stair. But laws in different countries is different, maybe in China there are no such restrictions/requirements. Regular people in most cases don’t know about such rules.

  8. So what? Russia even publicly proposed own hypersonic missiles to West, they could buy with easy. It was almost 10 years ago, West still have no this technology. Russian new jets also publicly flying, workers made photos from factories. Secrets in 21 century — something crazy :D

  9. It is clear what — huge offensive in UA to spoil life of Trump and finally to provoke Moscow on some really tough response. Last week they already became incredible active, launch a lot of european missiles right against cities. Trying to provoke. So, very likely, this year is last for existence of EU.

  10. Nope. Moreover, it impossibly. How can be race between similar systems? Race is possibly only between different systems.

  11. USA already for decades can’t even design civilian Boeings :)

  12. It is not. Companion for real fighters, additional cargo bay. Also can server as non strategical bomber/carrier. With such shape it can’t be fighter, because slow (it have no v-wings, so subsonic) and with awful maneuverability. But it not need it, it goal to fly more and carry more. It is same class as S-70, X-47, Neo, etc — companions/carriers.

  13. It never been peaceful. Second most bloodiest empire after England.

  16. Russia have own similar — S-70.

  17. Why? Russia and China are military allies, as their leaders said: “we are more than just allies". Both countries have no secrets and open to each other own technologies.

  18.  @panglaro8486  ​ Facepalm. Firstly CIA created terroristic groups, then Afghanistan asked Soviets for help (like several years ago it did Syria, when asked Russian protection against ISIL and rest). Soviets rejected to Afghanistan ~12th times! As we know nowadays, from direct speech of U.S. officials, it was kind of trip for USSR created by U.S., part of so-called Cold War. Whole war in Afghanistan personally invented by Zbigniew Brzeziński, he gave perfect interviews where explained how invented whole this story. You also can read memories of R. Gates (former CIA director), he also told a lot of details. Also looks like you not understand who is who. Firstly, not Russians, but Soviets. On South of USSR lived exactly same people like in Afghanistan — Tajiks, Uzbeks, etc. Soviets of course sent on help army from that people. As example first regiment which came (nowadays it is easy to google all they names), from 500 soldiers only 2 (two) were Russians.

  19. Flying wing/triangles can’t fly fast. It is subsonic. But their advantage — they can carry more weight.

  20. Actually first landing on Moon made USSR. Americans later sent people, not robots as USSR, at that moment USSR already lost interest to Moon and worked over Venus missions (still unique, largest and most complicated soviet program). There are no any competition and impossibly, competition possibly only between different systems (capitalism vs. communism, communism won space race). Actually it was deal that Russia will launch Tom Cruise (perfect example there are no any competition), but StateDep denied to them to use Russian space ship. It was almost 2 years ago. So Tom left on Earth, while Russia already sent own actors, and not because wanted to make movie, just because state experiment for which it need some unprofessional people (decide to use filmmakers, because in comparison with rest unprofessional people, they at least can make movie and in result money).

  21. This is not even fighter, but ordinary companion/carrier similar to S-70, X-47, Neo and a lot of more. There are also no accepted list of requirements for future 6th gen jets, so impossibly to call anything as 6th gen when requirements even not accepted yet. As example exist discussion, that 6th gen must to have ability to fly in nearest space. Discussion that it must have hypersonic speed. Accepted decision that it must to have small hypersonic a2a missiles (nobody in world invented them and will not invent for at least next 10 years). And so on. More likely first 6th gens will arrive only after 2050s.

  22.  @Kat-mu8wq  It is mainly myth about “developing not developed”. I can remind to you 2018, World Championship in Russia. Americans even in own press, after propaganda and filters, agreed that Russia is more developed than USA by infrastructure, services, safety and so on. All that ratings is fake. Let’s remember the end of 2019 — USA is number one in world by preparation to pandemic, Russia somewhere on the bottom of list. And in world really happened pandemic: in USA catastrophe and chaos, no enough medical centers, no beds, no infection boxes, no fans, lack of specialists, govt unprepared and don’t know what to do, hundreds thousands of dead, country stole medical help intended for other countries, at same time in Russia — in some cities more infection boxes than in whole US states combined, beds more than in whole USA while population in twice less, modern equipment, no chaos, first in world vaccine without bad effects, organized help to business, lock down only during spring, everything under control, low death rate, help to whole world with equipment and doctors. But yep, in rating USA is “developed”, while Russia is “developing”. Lol. P.S. And about topic — year ago Russia also sent own drone, it was first in world autonomous drone (USA sent only drone which controlled via cable). Also Russia is only in world country which have fully functional large nuclear submarines with crew from dozens people which can work on depth of 6 km (submarines of American or any rest navy — it is 300-800 meters).
