SILL2 Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Is the US really that great in weapons design and achievements? or are they really only good but overestimated? The USA today is the only real superpower. Russia has a bad economy which makes them unable to fund their military and weapons designers. 315427[/snapback] Yep junior. Thats the problem, the economy. Nothing to do with a totally corrupt ineffective retread neocommie political and economic system? You have your troika in front of your horse.
Scott Cunningham Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Its actually a good thing that the Russian ejections seats are so good. You have a fairly decent chance of needing it if you go into combat in a Russian jet., All that being said, the Russians design good solid military hardware. The problem is that the people operating it are usually far below the level of training, discipline, and tactical competence of their western armed/equipped/trained/led opponents.
Marek Tucan Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Give me a link on that ejection seat your talking about. You said it takes 1 sec for the parachutes but how long for the whole ejection process? 315599[/snapback] Ejection site

Yes. Superior? Hardly. Some areas on par, some aspects a bit better, some worse.
toysoldier Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Yeah you know that cause you have a penchant for military things but I didn't say no one knows. Ask someone whose not into warfare and he'd probably know something about US stealth capabilities maybe not the names of the stealth aircrafts but he'd probably never heard of plasma stealth.315599[/snapback] gosh wanna know why nobody´s ever heard of plasma stealth? because its a sci-fi gizmo concept with absoletly no conection to the real world. your mention of it says you have little touch with reality aswell.and i don´t have any knowledge nor penchant for military issues... i just lurk around TN absorbing information and takin the piss of people wiser than me. i advise you to mimic me.there´s a Mecha Fan somewhere ob this parts... i think you´ll make great friends. P.S.yes, the easter bunny and Santa, both use plasma stealth.
