It’s easy to see why China has so few friends. It has territorial disputes with nearly all its neighbors. And if China thinks that Russia will stand up for it, they’re sadly mistaken. Just look at how Russia helped India when Indian and Chinese troops were at each other’s throats not long ago.

Sorry, but one Su-57 aircraft doesn’t make it operational. It hasn’t even shown the ability to shoot its guns or air to air missiles from an internal bay in flight. And so far it hasn’t shown anything impressive when it comes to maneuverability.

@MarcG7424 Who says it’s incapable of dogfighting? Google Pilots Say F-35 Superior Within Visual Range: Dogfight Criticisms Laid To Rest. It has a number of advantages. With its stealth, it can go into the dogfight in an advantageous position. Its ordnance being stored internally and near the center of the fuselage gives it better turning ability and the ability to recover from high-bleed turns more quickly than legacy aircraft. It’s engine is also very powerful. That’s why when you see it performing a high-g instant turn its ass doesn’t drag. It can recover very quickly, which is an essential trait needed for close combat.

The Su-57 doesn’t have a chance. The Raptor has been in service for decades and has its bugs worked out. The Su-57 has not shown anything impressive with its supposed great maneuverability, and the fact that Russia has never put any fighter service in service with AESA, while the F-22’s AESA radar is 4th gen, plus the fact that the USA has been using stealth aircraft for over four decades gives the F-22 a huge advantage. Not just the F-22’s technology, but with the experience how the Raptor has already been used. Thefact that the F-22 has flown many missions and participated in many exercises, while the Su-57 has had just one production aircraft built, the Su is significantly behind.

Man, I hope they don’t go to war. I am so tired of seeing all the death and destruction around the world.

Qatar’s wealth helps it purchase some of the very best weapons systems. Having the F-15, Rafale and Rafale gives them a potent air force. For such a small country they have a big punch.

Good luck to Russia to make any more of these missiles. The Ukrainian military examined a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile and found at least 35 US-made microchips inside. With the sanctions in place Russia has lost access to these microchips. And before Russian trolls say that they can get them from China, that’s not the case. China uses US software to make its microchips. If the Chinese violate the export control rules that prohibit the sale of microchips to Russia, the Chinese will only be hurting themselves, which they’re not going to risk.
3
Why are you comparing it to a carrier? US cruisers and destroyers can perform independently as well. A carrier can also defend itself and project a lot of power.
3
Is that why the F-35 is in such high demand? I guess you should tell all the clients that you know more than they do and they’re all making a big mistake. It’s accomplishing feats not seen by other aircraft. For instance, it linked to a HIMARS to strike a naval target. Its AI automatically tracks, detects, and targets each foe, shares this info with other assets in the field, determines the probability of kill for each, and also determines the best targeting solution. Its sensor fusion and situational awareness are unmatched. Furthermore, since its ordnance is stored internally that means less wing and drag weight, which also reduces its RCS, gives it greater agility and fuel efficiency.
3
Without the aid from the United States, Ukraine would have lost by now, so yes much of it is game changing. For instance, Russia in the beginning was taking huge amounts of land. Once the HIMARS entered the battlefield, the situation entirely changed. The same goes with Bradleys, Javelins, Stingers, etc. Without them Russia would have achieved much more and in a shorter time period.

@boboboy8189 Russia doesn’t have the same manufacturing capabilities to build high tech equipment on mass scale efficiently. Plus, Russia is over twenty years behind in this field, and it’s demonstrated a dependence on western technology for its high tech equipment. From its T-90 using French optics, to nearly every missile, EW system, attack helicopters, all using US made microchips, the Russian land have shown that they are dependent on western goods. Put it this way, in the MMRCA tender, India’s Air Chief said that the US had the best weapons, radars and systems, and the US wasn’t even offering its best. On the other hand, Russia’s Mig-35 failed primarily because of two reasons, its radar, which failed to reach desired acquisition ranges, and its engines.
2
@definitelyfrank9341 Not at all. Your logic is that the US tech will just remain stagnant while Russia’s improves, which isn’t realistic at all. US ships have undergone major upgrades, and unlike Russia the US is very good at mass producing high tech equipment on mass scale efficiently. Russia’s not a technological leader. Why is this so hard for you to comprehend?
2
I guess you better tell all the countries that are buying the F-35 that they are all making a big mistake, and that you know better than their experts.
2
@RoyBrown777 I never heard that it was the entire carrier group, just the carrier. Why do you think the US requested the Gotland to stay in the US for two additional years? To train against and learn how to defend against subs like it.
2
@carlos8040ca Keep dreaming. Russia’s losses are significantly higher. It’s gotten so bad that Russia uses Chinese made golf carts on the front.
2
You fell for Russian propaganda. There was no Su-57 kill. Do a little research and you’ll find that Russia has not provided any evidence of it, and it can’t even tell when or where it happened.
1
Russia didn’t intercept 💩. It’s hilarious how Russia always claims to intercept the missiles and yet the “debris” keeps managing to hit the targets.
1
@paulscountry456 Russia said it would win in three days. 😂
1
😂The Su-35 was cut like butter in exercises in Egypt and China. It’s antiquated PESA radar is easily jammed rendering the aircraft blind.
1
The one countries that are allies of Russia are Iran and North Korea. That should tell you he Russia is perceived worldwide.
1
LOL, the Su-35 would get its ass kicked, just like it did in exercises in Egypt and China. Look into why Egypt cancelled its remaining order for the Su-35, and instead bought an additional 100 Rafales.
1
@boboboy8189 If you’re referring to the Red Flag exercise in Alaska, the US pilots had different recollections of events. The Eurofighters also flew clean to enhance their performance, which isn’t very realistic of real combat. You add some ordnance to its wings and its agility, speed and ability to recover from high-g turns is limited. Plus, the F-22 carries the Luneburg Lens in exercises. It’s a radar reflector that lets the opposing side know its position. Without it the fights would be extremely one sided as the F-22 would be in a favorable fighting position for every encounter. Plus, don’t forget in exercises in UAE the Eurofighter got slaughtered by French Rafales, while the F-22s came out undefeated. What is most impressive about it was that the Raptor pilots were all rookies having less than 100 hours in the aircraft. A US pilot discusses the exercise in a YouTube video called F-22 Undefeated at Al Dhafra, if you’re interested.
1
@Mamaro105 Liar. The F-22 has never faced the Su-30, and in exercises at Red Flag Nellis the F-15 won every time. The fact that you have to lie tells me that you already know yourself that you’re wrong.
1
@theprotagonist8755 Thank you. Nah, just an aviation enthusiast.
1
😂The U.S. has provided less than 5% of its annual defense budget to help Ukraine, with much of the equipment from old stockpiles. The ATACMS was planned for demolition as its a 30 year old missile that’s getting replaced. Russia’s taken huge losses both in manpower and equipment.
1
@Манлетопия I have two houses in the U.S. Why don’t you look at the standard of living in Russia. It’s easy to use why Ukraine wants nothing to be like Russia. Other than Moscow and Saint Petersburg, Russia is a third world 💩 hole.
1
Countries only join NATO out of fear of Russia. Russia keeps very well that NATO isn’t going to invade Russia. Russia has practically removed all of its forces from its border with Finland and moved them to fight in Ukraine.
1
😂 Yeah right. That’s why Ukraine still holds control of Russian land, and it’s why Russia’s troops are using vehicles, golf carts, motorcycles, scooters and even bicycles on the front. Ukraine has shown the world that Russia is weak.
1
@jonesmorendik Russia is advancing very slowly, and in the process is losing hundreds of thousands of men. Russia’s three day SMO is now a three year war, and Russia hasn’t achieved any of its objectives.
1
@jonesmorendik Just curious why you haven’t joined the SMO? Russia is low on men, and it’s offering huge amounts of money for men who sign up.
1
@jonesmorendik Obviously better than Russian men as far fewer Ukrainian men are dying than the Russians.
1
Well, of course the first weapon is a hypersonic missile, and it’s only shown in animation. Russia is known for talking a lot of hype so until it’s actually shown there’s no reason for me to believe it. The S-400 has already been defeated in Syria where it has no kills and only looks good on paper. Show me any Russian SAM that has ever intercepted a ballistic or cruise missile. US intercepts are found here on YouTube in many videos, but you can’t find one Russian SAM doing it. The T-14 has no combat experience and looks good on paper. I remember when the T-72 was at one time said to be the best around, and even old M-60 tanks defeated them in the Iraq war.
1
It’s far better than Russia’s!
1
@RESCUESOULTVThe last time the US fought against Russia was in Syria. Russia’s Wagner group got bombed for four hours straight, and guess what Russia’s Su-35s did at a nearby base? Nothing. They were too scared to engage the US aircraft because they knew F-22s were flying cover.
1
@supernatural_forces Very funny. Russia’s air defenses have failed repeatedly to protect strategic targets in Ukraine. And despite what this video infers,Russia has struggled to intercept the 30 year old ATACMS. It’s been successful several times in striking the S-400, which is supposedly supposed to be able to defeat it. Russia’s hypersonic missiles aren’t truly hypersonic by today’s definition because they aren’t maneuverable, which means their flight path can be predicted and they can be intercepted.
1
@setajucizbun7073 Wow, just one F-117 was shown down in it 30 years. It happens on the 4th night of the war, and not another one was shot down. It was shot down due to human error of flying a predictable flight path four nights straight. It’s not that hard to shoot down when you know where and when it will fly over.
1
@ssaini5028 Russia and China’s fighters pale in comparison to US fighters. Unlike the F-22 and F-35, neither the Su-57 or J-20 have flown deep strike missions. Russia’s aircraft have not avoided NATO radars. Russia is afraid to use its fighters anywhere near Ukrainian strongholds. What’s hilarious is that Russia thinks little of the J-29, and China thinks the same of the Su-57.
1
@RealKull Keep dreaming. The Su-35 is just a modified Su-27, and it still flies with vintage PESA radar. If Russia’s S-400 struggled to take out f-22s and F-35s flying deep strike missiles in Syria, Russia’s Su-35 doesn’t stand a chance. You won’t find one credible source that agrees with you. It’s all talk, just like the Russian military.
1
@ssaini5028 The Houthis attacked a Russian ship and Russia could not do anything about it. Russia just lost in Syria too. And how many months have gone by where Russia still can’t remove Ukraine’s forces out of Kursk?
1
@hopetonedwards3038 You’re funny considering in its 40 or so years a MiG -29 has never shot down a western fighter, and yet it’s been shot down numerous times.
1
@setajucizbun7073 Who cares. Just one was shot down. US commanders even admitted screwing up. The F-117 flew the same flight path four nights straight and at the same time at night. Not another one was shot down despite flying hundreds of more deep strike missions. In its 30 year career only one was shot down despite flying thousands of sorties. Look at how many Russian aircraft have gotten shot down in Ukraine alone. Hundreds! Russia’s the one many decades behind. Even the F-117 has a smaller radar cross section than the SU-57. It’s Russia that has the long history of copying from the west, not vice versa.
1
@setajucizbun7073 It sure did. The F-117 flew the same path and at the same time at night four nights straight. US commanders admitted messing up. It’s Russia that is many decades behind. The F-117 first flew around 40 years ago, and Russia’s Su-57 still has a larger RCS. What was the “bunch” of other aircraft? What one F-16? lol
1
@setajucizbun7073 Search “Available data suggests the Yemeni group has been going after vessels carrying Russian cargo, particularly if an operator's ships have visited Israeli ports.”
1
@ Hahaha Liar. Everything you wrote is a lie. Very few radars have been destroyed, and the ones that have been were by drones. Russia has not shot down any F-16s with its Su-57 or Su-35. What is your source RT, Pravda? Very few HIMARS have been destroyed, and no very few if any Patriot systems have been destroyed. The HIMARS and Patriot launchers have been destroyed by the Iskander, not Russian aircraft. Russia’s and Chinese fighters wouldn’t stand a chance against western fighters, and no Congress did not say the F-35 is a failure. If that was the case why would over a thousand be built, and there’s a huge backlog for more of them? And yet another lie about simulations.
1
@ssaini5028 Literally everything you wrote is a lie. Not one thing is true. What a sad world you must live in to make up that kind of nonsense. You have verifiable sources to back up your claims? Of course not, you’re lying. Prove me wrong by putting in quotes and name credible sources. You can’t and you know it. Russia couldn’t even stop Wagner group from heading towards Moscow, and Putin had to flee. And you think Russia can beat the U.S.? With just a few thousand troops Ukraine was able to invade the Kursk region, and still Russia today hasn’t been able to remove them. Russia’s army is even using golf carts, scooters and bicycles on the front. Haha hahahaha Russia’s Black Sea fleet has gone into hiding against a country without a navy, and you think Russia can beat the U.S. Navy. Hahaha. Russia’s air force can’t even achieve air superiority over Ukraine’s vintage and small Air Force. Russia doesn’t have a chance against the US. Ukraine wasn’t even a top twenty military force at the start of the war, and Russia is still suffering humiliating losses. The US is Ukraine’s largest donor, and it provides Ukraine with less than 5% of its annual military budget, and much of the equipment is old that is sitting and collecting dust. Nobody respects the Russian military anymore. China’s own military admits that their lack of experience would be hard to overcome to beat the U.S. If China was so sure that it could beat the U.S., it would have invaded Taiwan by now, which is right next to China while the USA would have to travel many thousands of miles/kilometers.
1
@ssaini5028 How many lies are you going to tell? Nothing you say is true. Russia doesn’t even have the capability to defend ships in the Red Sea from the Houthis. No US ships have been hit. Two destroyers were attacked with cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, drones, etc., and every one of them either missed or it was shot down. You have verifiable proof that the US warships were hit? Of course not because it didn’t happen. Kursk is not a failed operation. It shows how weak Russia is to allow very few troops to take so much territory in such a short time. And Ukraine did it with equipment that is from old western reserves. The fact that you have to lie so much tells me that you know yourself that you’re wrong. Nobody is going to trust you or take your words seriously. You make outlandish statements and expect people to be gullible enough to believe them. I don’t have time for dishonest people like you. I wish you the best of luck because no one is going to ever trust you unless you learn how to be honest. Bye.
1
@ssaini5028 Not a single word you said wrote is true. Prove me wrong by providing credible sources, and cite in quotes the text that backs your claims. I don’t have time to address each and every ridiculous comment of yours. It’s pathetic that you actually think that people are going to believe such nonsense.
1
@ssaini5028 Russia doesn’t even have the capability to defend shipping lanes in the Red Sea. You’re a joke. I’m not going to waste any more time on you.
1
It’s Russia that doesn’t have real hyperspace missiles. The ones that they claimed to have are easily getting shot down. The US has had for decades hypersonic missiles going all the way back to the GAM-87 Skybolt in the 1950s.
1
@DrDupor LOL, that only happened because of poor mission planning of flying a predictable flight path every night. We’ve seen in Ukraine how poorly Russian SAMs have done. They repeatedly fail to protect strategic targets, I,e. bridges, ammo dumps, command centers, SAM sites, barracks, air fields, naval bases, etc.
1
@themanwiththegoldengun1998 Hahaha Another Russian troll who can’t cope with reality. 😂

@Bk6346 Having powerful friends is even better. China isn’t that powerful anyway.
1
@deanzaZZR That’s not accurate. China has land disputes with Nepal, Bhutan, India, Laos, Myanmar, Tibet, and Mongolia.
1
@deanzaZZR I just used Google and a number of websites confirm what I’ve written. For instance, China has also been accused of encroaching on Nepal’s territory along the two countries' shared border. China has been trespassing in the district of Humla, in the far west of Nepal. Another example is Laos. Laos has a 313-mile border with China that runs from the tripoint with Myanmar in the west to the tripoint with Vietnam in the east. China alleges that it owns large parts of Laos on a historical precedent dating back to the Yuan Dynasty. Another example is Tibet. After Taiwan, Tibet is perhaps China’s most well-known territorial dispute. In 1950, China enforced a long-held claim on the Himalayan country and incorporated it with its own territory. After an unsuccessful uprising in 1959, Tibet’s spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama fled to India where he had set up a government in exile. Im not going to provide explanations for each one. Just do a Google search.
1
@deanzaZZR Well, it’s either wrong or you misunderstood it. There are scores of websites that discuss both the land and maritime disputes. Here’s an excerpt from one of them. China has also been involved with several land disputes with its neighbouring countries and recent times have witnessed an escalation of attack by China. India: India and China clashed violently at the Galwan Valley in Eastern Ladakh on 15 June, which is part of the disputed Aksai Chin region. The clash left 20 Indian soldiers dead and several injured. The PLA also reportedly suffered casualties. China has also staked claim on parts of Arunachal Pradesh. Nepal: China has a long-standing dispute over parts of Nepal that it claims are Tibet. In June, China annexed Rui village in Nepal, claiming it as part of Tibet. Bhutan: It also claims to own a large chunk of eastern Bhutan including areas like Cherkip Gompa, Dho, Dungmar and Gesur. On 5 July, China stated that it has a border dispute with Bhutan, for the first time since 1986. Laos: The communist country also alleges that it owns large parts of Laos on historical precedent dating back to the Yuan Dynasty. Mongolia: Inner Mongolia, an autonomous region within Mongolia, has also been involved in a territorial dispute with China but the last border flare-up between the two regions was in 2015. Myanmar: China and Myanmar share a 2,185-km-long border based on a 1960 agreement. However, two weeks ago, Myanmar accused China of creating trouble on the border and instigating terror groups. Tibet: Perhaps China’s most decisive land dispute is the one with Tibet. In 1950, China enforced a long-held claim on the Himalayan country and incorporated it with its own territory. Tibet’s spiritual leader the Dalai Lama and his followers were forced to flee to India, where they have set up a government in exile.
1
@deanzaZZR Perhaps your source is biased, but if you choose to believe it that is fine too. It doesn’t take much to do further research and see that China has more than just one land border dispute.
1
The US defense industry gives Russia a huge thanks. The war has showcased USA weapons, which has resulted in skyrocketing sales.
1
@ Keep crying, Ivan. What’s funny though absolutely your comment is that GPS devices that can be found at Walmart are being found in destroyed Su-34s. The Russian pilots use them for navigation purposes. 😂

China can steal all it wants, but not knowing underlying principles to innovative technology will hurt it in the long run.

@j4genius961 Ukraine was losing badly until it had the HIMARS. Russia’s advanced significantly slowed down, and Ukraine was actually able to retake a significant amount of territory. Without US aid Ukraine would have already lost. It’s difficult to exactly say what is a game changer as you can’t replay the past to see the differences.
1
@ That’s only because the west hasn’t provided all the weapons necessary. They’ve just provided enough to not allow Russia to win. Russia’s suffering huge casualties against a country that wasn’t even ranked in the top twenty as a military power at the start of the war. Now look at what Russia has had to resort to using on the battlefield, golf carts, bicycles, scooters, motorcycles, etc. Without the HIMARS in particular, Russia would have taken a lot more territory. It destroyed huge amounts of ammo, command posts, barracks, etc. Russia was gaining vast amounts of territory. It is now only a crawl.
1
@j4genius961 Russia was advancing much quicker and with much less resistance until the HIMARS arrived. It took out numerous ammo dumps and control centers early on, which had an immediate effect. The US has provided Ukraine with only 40 HIMARS launchers, and look how much damage they have caused. Just to put things into perspective, the US army and Marine Corps have around 100 times that amount. Without the HIMARS, who knows how much more territory Russia would have gained.The Stingers, NLAWS and Javelins also had an immediate impact. They prevented Russian armored columns from advancing. With just a fraction of what is in NATO’s arsenal, Russia has taken a heck of a beating.
1
@ Russia is slowly advancing, and it is taking a beating at the same time suffering huge losses. Most of the countries helping Ukraine are providing humanitarian aid. The US is the largest military contributor, providing just as much aid as all the other countries combined. Even so the US contribution is less than 5% of its annual defense budget, and much of the equipment are older models. Ukraine received just 40 HIMARS while the US military has over 4000 of them. Ukraine received just 300 older Bradleys, while the US has over 6000 of them. The US has provided Ukraine with several thousand Humvees when there are over 160,000 of them in the US military. With just a small fraction of what is in the US arsenal, Ukraine has extended Russia’s three day SMO into nearly a 3 year war, and Russia still hasn’t achieved any of its objectives. Respect must be earned, and Russia hasn’t earned it.
1
@j4genius961 Of course not. Ukraine has asked for and received some of the more advanced technology, like Patriot missiles, NLAWS, etc., but the western countries aren’t going to hurt their own defenses by giving Ukraine their best fighters, tanks, armored vehicles, etc., especially equipment that Russia can examine and steal technology. For instance, the Bradleys that Ukraine is using is decades old technology, and yet it’s still doing exceptionally well on the battlefield. There’s also a huge cost factor. Newer equipment costs a lot more than the older equipment that is just collecting dust. Ukraine doesn’t have much of anything on its own so larger quantities must be provided. I am sure that Ukraine would prefer to have 3-4 Bradleys versus one brand new one coming off the assembly line.
1
@definitelyfrank9341 AESA gives the fighter numerous advantages over PESA. Lucky for Russia is that the F-16s being sent to Ukraine all have PESA, as well.
1
@definitelyfrank9341 Understood. He never responded to my first message so I’m not going to bother again. Thanks for the cordial comment.
1
@definitelyfrank9341 Yeah, to some extent I agree with you. My reasoning is a little different. Just the simple fact that Russia has not used its air force much is why I doubt the F-16 will have as much of an impact. Furthermore, the F-16’s lack of stealth will make it much easier to detect. I have heard however that its capabilities with the HARM missile will grow, allowing it to strike more targets on the fly instead of by predetermination. I also am not sure if the F-16s and weapons being provided with them will include home-on-jam weaponry. Ukraine has been making slow but steady progress. It doesn’t have much more time though as the winter will soon arrive and limit their counteroffensive capabilities. The delay will allow Russia to go through another mobilization and create more defensive lines. Delaying the outcome is probably Russia’s main goal right now. It knows if Trump is re-elected that the US’s support will be reduced, and that Trump will push for peace talks, which is not something that the Ukrainians want. There are just too many factors to really be able to make an educated guess about how all of this will end out. Personally, I hate seeing all the unnecessary deaths that are occurring on both sides. I don’t want to see Russia rewarded for its terrorist actions, but I am also tired of seeing innocent lives being taken.
1
@@JimCarner That would be great, I bet they’re going to receive them as is.
1
@@JimCarner Yeah, I completely agree. Egypt and China both had exercises that included Russian made Su-35s that carried PESA, and they discovered quickly how susceptible they were to being jammed. Egyptian Rafales with SPECTRA and Chinese J-10s with AESA rendered the Su’s blind. If the west is serious about helping Ukraine defeat Russia, then the F-16s should be upgraded before going into battle. I have my doubts because the F-16s that the Ukrainians are training on in Arizona are the oldest models, and I believe the ones they’re training on in Romania are older A/B models that went through an upgrade in the early 2000s, but it wasn’t to AESA.
1
@Irt7kwa Ukraine would have lost by now if it wasn’t for USA weapons. Just look at how much trouble only 40 HIMARS have caused Russia, while the US has in its inventory one hundred times that number. Look at the ATACMS missile. It is a 30 year old missile that was being phased out of service and planned for demolition, and Russia struggles to defend against it. Thanks to Russia sales for USA weather have skyrocketed.
1
Nah, they work in reality. It’s why Russia has suffered such huge losses.
1
@kathrynck Exactly! The original comment is a combination of ignorance and stupidity. It’s not worth wasting your time on someone who can’t accept reality.
1
And you’re forgetting that subsonic missiles destroyed the Moskva, and ship whose purpose was air defense. You’re also forgetting that Russia’s SAMs have repeatedly failed to protect strategic assets like air bases, ammo dumps, command centers, naval shipyards, barracks, training centers, and even the S-400 itself has been unable to defend itself from the 30 year old ATACMS.
1
Keep lying to yourself. You know things are going bad for Russia when its soldiers are using scooters, golf carts, bicycles, etc., on the front. Russia’s soldiers complain about how they are poorer treated all the time, and how their commanders don’t care if they live or die.
1
Countries only joined NATO out of fear of Russia. Can you blame them? It’s a Russian lie about the coup. Yanukovych went back on his word to join the EU. Of course the Ukrainian people rioted. They don’t want to live like the 💩 hole Russia.
1
Keep dreaming. Countries like Egypt and Algeria are canceling their orders for the Su-35. Its antiquated PESA radar makes it susceptible to being jammed, which renders the aircraft blind. In fact, its happened in exercises in both Egypt and China. It’s why Egypt cancelled its orders for them, and is now buying more Rafales instead.
1
@Mamaro105 Is that why with such a small fraction of western weapons that Ukraine has humiliating Russia on the battlefield? With just 40 HIMARS Ukraine was able to nearly put a halt to Russia’s advances. Russia was making huge advances until a few HIMARS woke up Russia. Thanks to Russia, US defense sales have skyrocketed.

@markelalagoz7363 Cope harder, Ivan. It’s entertaining watching pro Russians getting a dose of reality that their country isn’t the military power that they thought it was.

@struvrim If that was the case, they wouldn’t need to use US microchips in the first place. They continue to try to find any holes in the system to obtain them. It’s much more than being about the software and code. Imagine trying to play a modern day video game on a computer that was created thirty years ago. It’s not going to work. The Lancet drone isn’t some high tech drone that is technologically innovative. Look at how drones just as capable are being acquired in the commercial marketplace. Plus it still has many of its components western made, including US made microchips. Russia’s not a technological leader. It never has been. “Lancet drones still rely on components of foreign origin imported to Russia. The first known instance of Russian weapon production using foreign microchips, manufactured after the start of the large-scale invasion, was discovered in a report published by the independent group Conflict Armament Research, which investigates captured Russian weapons on the battlefield. Researchers specifically examined the contents of captured Russian Lancet drones in February and March. As a result, three identical chips produced by an American company at an offshore factory were found. The detection of such chips does not necessarily indicate a violation of export control since the United States had not imposed restrictions on this specific type of chips until September. They could have been manufactured in August and possibly shipped immediately.”
1
No it wouldn’t. The fact that the Su-35 carries its ordnance on the wings, which creates both wing and drag weight, will reduce its agility and speed. The F-22 doesn’t have this problem since the weapons are stored internally and near the center of the fuselage.
1
@googleplex1589 Who cares. The most essential maneuvers needed in A2A combat are high instant, sustained and roll rate turns. The Cobra bleeds energy and makes the aircraft a sitting duck. Seriously, go watch videos of pilots who were successful, and they all say the most important rule of survival in combat is maintaining your energy. A good example is the MiG-35. It can perform the Cobra,, but guess how it did in the MMRCA tender? Horrible. The only area it did well was top end speed, which is good for running away from a fight when the odds aren’t in your favor. Otherwise going fast is a real gas guzzler, unless the aircraft has the ability to supercruise.
1
@definitelyfrank9341 Russia is the one getting its ass kicked, and of course Russia would like air superiority. Don’t be so stupid.

@boboboy8189 Because Russia has a significantly larger military with many more men and supplies. Russia’s losing far more soldiers and equipment than Ukraine, and Russia’s lost over half of the territory it once held. Plus, Russia has been on its heels retreating. Ukraine has taken back more land in the prior six weeks than what Russia took during its entire winter offensive. Don’t forget that Russia was supposed to win in just three days, and at the start of the war the west only provided a small amount of assistance by providing Javelins, NLAWS, and manpads. Despite fighting a country on its own border, Russia’s logistical capabilities have shown to be horrible; its army poorly led, equipped and trained; its navy has disappeared from the fight against a country without a navy; and its air force was unable to achieve air superiority over a country with an air force that is significantly outnumbered and with very aged aircraft.

Nonsense. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know how to operate them.

@M42135 That doesn’t mean that Americans are operating the missile systems. The US does share information with Ukraine though so that it can decide.

@serzh1950 They weren’t shot down due. They took out air fields, ammo dumps, command centers, etc. There are videos here on YouTube that show it.Ukraine operates the missile systems, but the U.S. does provide targeting data to Ukraine.

@richardyatesyates3893 The war has no effect on the people in the United States. The homeless situation is from the many millions of illegal immigrants who flooded into the United States when Biden was president.

Hahaha Russia doesn’t know what air superiority means. It never has it. Even against Ukraine’s old and significantly outnumbered air force, Russia still hasn’t been able to achieve air superiority.

@user-my8zo8uh3n It’s true, you just can’t handle it. It’s why Russia’s fighters don’t go anywhere near Ukrainian strongholds. It’s why Russia uses glide bombs from so far away. If Russia had a true stealth fighter it would be able to attack targets while flying over Kyiv, but instead it stays way back dropping glide bombs. If Russia had air superiority, Russia would have won the war a long time ago. The fact that it didn’t achieve air superiority early on in the war is why the war has lasted so long.

Deadly too.

Most Russian weapons are already in the scrapyard.

@tictaktico From everywhere you can imagine. From books to articles to reports released, and like you from YouTube and other internet sites.

@ Nah, you just can’t handle reality.

@tictaktico What specifically don’t you agree with?

@FakeAccount3333-d2t While Russia brags about a few Abrams and Bradley’s it’s destroyed, there are tens of thousands of destroyed Russian tanks and armor vehicles littering the Ukrainian battlefields. It’s gotta so bad that the Russians are using golf carts, motorcycles, school and even bicycles on the front. Russia’s own soldiers are even laughing at themselves.

Is that why Russia’s Kinzhal missile looks exactly like the US’s Waverider that broke the world record for hypersonic flight back in 2010?

The only western troops fighting in Ukraine are mercenaries. There are no western regular army soldiers fighting. They’re just like the Indians, Chinese, etc., that Russia has contracted for hire. The only foreign regular army soldiers fighting in the war are from North Korea.

Obviously not. Two were just recently shot down.😂

@prabhakarmishra2182 No F-16 was shot down, and I did lots of research. The so-called downed aircraft wasn’t even the same model, and it was a picture from an earlier F-16 crash. After you do some additional research you’ll find that the Pakistani pilots launched Amraams too early from outside the kill zone. While this resulted in wasting the missiles, it also kept the Su-30MKIs at bay not being able to engage them. The only aircraft that was downed was one Mig-21.

@prabhakarmishra2182 “The Indian Air Force’s most advanced fighter jet – SU-30MKI may be re-armed with Israeli Derby air-to-air missiles according to reports in India Media. The reason for rearming SU-30MKI with Derby missiles instead of the traditional Russian R-77 missiles is because the SU-30MKI was found lagging behind in air combat against the F-16’s during the recent skirmishes with Pakistan.” Google “India Upgrading SU-30MKI After Pakistani F-16’s Outperformed Russian Build Fighter Jets – Reports”

@prabhakarmishra2182 I really couldn’t care less if you believe me or not. You’re fixed in your ways, and it’s obvious that when you hear the truth you’re only going to believe it if it falls in line with your personal views. You tell people to do research, but when someone suggests that you do the same you throw out insults. Grow up and don’t be so narrow minded. The real facts are out there, you just don’t want to believe them. Ever hear the expression, don’t argue with an idiot because they’ll bring you down to their level and win? I’m done here. Seriously, I wish you the best of luck.

@prabhakarmishra2182 It’s not always necessary to read from journals, articles, etc., including for this particular subject matter. Facts are that it wasn’t shot down. You’re letting your pride and patriotism get in the way of finding the real truth. If you know of a particular journal that is objective, please let me know its name, release date, page number and article name. Quite often people in defense forums that I participate in will share them. It’s easy to see that we’re only going to argue in circles so it’s best that we not carry on with this discussion. Good day to you, and may God bless you and your loved ones.

Hypersonic missiles can still be jammed and spoofed, as well as use decoys, chaff, etc. Plus, there’s some doubt that Russia and China really have such weapons as they’re both known for overhyping their capabilities. Neither has actually shown a hypersonic missile in flight for more than just a few seconds, and the US x-51 Waverider broke the world record for hypersonic duration of flight, and that was over a decade ago. What is not surprising is that Russia copied it to make their Zircon missile.
