Against a layered advanced air defence eg s400 , panzter , the f35 wouldn’t get close to its target

@ExHyperion S 400 has a range of 400kms . S500 600 kms . Outranges anything the Americans have . And the airfields and carriers that is their platforms hit by long range hypersonic missiles before the f35 even takes off . Your fantasies may work with the Taliban but not a peer power

@ExHyperion No Russia is putting skilled workers into weapons production . Children still go to school . Russia is only using 5% of its GDP towards the SMO. America uses 13% of its GDP for the military even in peace times . So Russia not in war economy mode America cannot go into war economy mode . They lack the manufacturing capacity , skilled workers and raw material .It would take them years to reach any kind of effective development Russia produces 1500 tanks a year America 150 . You will find those numbers reflect production in all weapons Advanced radar can pick up stealth aircraft by the way . America wastes a massive amount of Money on things like stealth aircraft that won’t work against advanced air defences which the Russians have plenty of. Only imperialists need aircraft carriers It would take America years to build up their weapons manufacturing base . They need factories , machinery , skilled workers , raw materials Eg cotton fibre for explosives production which they presently get from China Then even if they made all those weapons they would have to get them across the Atlantic which Russian subs everywhere. Good luck with that Russia received 11 billion from Lendlease . Britain got 32billion . So a didn’t help as much as you think . Lendlease was certainly useful . But Russia produced most of its own weapons . Without Russia occupying the Nazis on the eastern front D day would never have happened Russia carried that slack

@ExHyperion 2000 ? They are “ your “ unsubstantiated numbers only. Western technology hasn’t changed a thing in Ukraine . Ukraine is being beaten everywhere . Aim 120 air to air missiles used by f22 range 160 kms . Speed Mach 1 . R37 air to air missile used by su57. Range 400kms . Speed 6 Mach . Is that an example of superior western technology ? lol

@ExHyperion Russia has the largest and best missile inventory on Earth . With ranges far exceeding anything the Americans have and much faster

@ExHyperion Patriots have a hard time shooting down old scuds fired from Yemen let alone hypersonic missiles . Israel has just retired their patriots Russia has far more missiles than American and massive manufacturing capacity that America doesn’t have How does America get men and equipment across the Atlantic. With Russian surface ships and subs armed with hypersonic anti shipping missiles

@ExHyperion jassmer missile is subsonic . In other words slow . The same Speed as a jet liner . Easily taken out by even s300

@ExHyperion overwhelm with numbers ? Trouble is America doesn’t have the numbers because of small manufacturing base . Russia no such problems

@ExHyperion They will be jammed or shot down either by Russian air defences which has the largest number in the world America has nowhere near the amount of launchers and missiles that Russia has . The f35 never tested in real combat will be very vulnerable And their air fields and carriers targeted very early on in any conflict As I said the patriot has never shot down a kinzhal and are making no difference in Ukraine . The Russians are decimating the place There is no ammunition for the patriots they only have 700 missiles in stock at present at three million dollars each Not sustainable in a high intensity war . America will be out of missiles and ammunition very early on with no manufacturing to replace them
1
@ExHyperion as I keep repeating america doesn’t have the manufacturing to replenish their weapons and ammunition. It actually relies on China for cotton fibres essential for high explosive production . America cannot sustain any high intensity war for more than a few weeks Russia already has enough weapons and ammunition even if they stopped production now for three years of high intensity conflict

@ExHyperion in a major air attack against Russia the enemy will be met by a barrage of 6000 missiles . Russia ICBMs ( Sarmat ) is the most advanced in the world . American minuteman is very old technology and not used in decades . Nothing beats Russia air defence or missiles either in number or quality . Zircon is totally new technology so is Sarmat
1
@ExHyperion You said America launches 100 such missiles in an attack . And have 2000 in stockpile . That is 20 attacks . Hundreds produced every year so enough for about 5 more attacks ? How long will those missiles last in a conflict with Russia . Probably no more than a week . Then what ..?
1
@ExHyperion it would take America several years to build up production to a good level . You need factories , trained workers , machinery And raw materials . Eg cotton fibre for explosives production which they get from China at present . And political will which the American people will not have . They have had enough of foreign wars And even if they had big manufacturing capacity how to get the men and weapons across the Atlantic during a war Good luck with that Russia received 11 billion dollars under Lendlease . Britain 32 billion . So the Americans did not help Russia as much as you think Russia made most of its own weapons

@ExHyperion America can’t out produce Russia and China “ TOGETHER “

@JohnFlower-NZ you don’t know anything about economics and purchasing power parity ( PPP ) . The most accurate way to judge the strength of an economy . The IMF and The World Bank use PPP when assessing economies . The IMF and the World Bank judge the Russian economy as the biggest in Europe and the fifth biggest in the world There has been no major damage to infrastructure in Russia from drones or missiles that have affected the situation on the battle fields . Most are shot down but some get through . No air defence is 100%. Look at Ukraine with their patriots by comparison . Almost totally flattened And all those wonderful western weapons are now on display in Moscow . They are not so good apparently They didn’t take Kiev because they didn’t try too .Not enough troops to do that . Russia has lost three war ships in two years and a few landing craft . Britain lost six warships in ten weeks in the Falklands war . America lost 10,000 aircraft in Vietnam to any enemy without an airforce Russia didn’t expand in Georgia . They defeated the Georgian army and then left . Belarus is a Russian ally , so is Syria they were invited into those countries by the governments . Totally legal . They were also invited into Africa and the other countries you mention . So all legal . Chechnya is part of Russia it was a civil war not an imperial one If Putin is trying to expand his “ empire “ ? What empire ? He has been in power for over 20 years and hasn’t expanded outside of Russia or Russias sphere of influence . Now can we discuss Americas wars in the last 23 years and deaths and displacement of millions as a result Russia doesn’t need aircraft carriers they would need a lot of them to expand their “ empire “ .The fact they only have one debunks your conspiracy theory about Putin’s imperial goals . You defeated your own argument by mentioning the carrier Russia has the biggest economy in Europe . They are not so poor Now go away and learn the subject

@JohnFlower-NZ There are advantages to a weak currency in trade . Currencies fluctuate all the time The strongest currency in the world at present is the Kuwaiti currency . It means little in the grand scheme of things A better judge of an economy is debt . America 34 trillion in debt . Household debt 17.3 trillion . Credit card 1.2 trillion . American economy is on life support The vast majority of Russians realise the war was provoked and support the president .

@JohnFlower-NZ They got pushed out of those areas because they had a shortage of troops . Now they don’t . Seen Kharkov ln the last few days ?

@JohnFlower-NZ western technology superior ..? Countries buy over priced overrated western weapons usually through coercion or because of sanctions on Russians which make it impossible to buy anything other than western weapons On the battlefield in Ukraine they have proven to be inferior . Russian air defence , missile and electronic warfare technology light years ahead You say PPP assessment is not accurate . .? It is the only reliable way to judge an economy in the eyes of all major financial institutions and analysts . That is why it is used . Exhyperian . 2000 t72s.? They are your unsubstantiated numbers only . The Russian troops made a big deal about destroying an Abrams because they were receiving a bounty for each one they destroyed The Abrams were supposed to be “ game changers “ . A lot of fanfare about them . But they changed nothing That’s why they were paraded in shame

@rick7424 Whatever Russia lost Ukraine lost more . And Russia can replace losses Ukraine cannot
