(13,925 posts)ahh the AK 47 comes to mind.. And that rocket that goes to the space shuttle seems to work..
As for their air defense this would be a neat time to see if it works.
They claim it works and we do a little "performance" testing.. If it does work we need to go back to the drawing board. If it doesn't work we are OK.. yes?

(22,890 posts)Our astronauts get to the space station on Russian rockets and their capsules. They have ICBM's with multiple nuclear warheads capable of hitting multiple targets. Russia went through a rough time when the USSR broke up. They even lost a submarine. Putin has invested billions in upgrading their military since then, and you can bet it has some state-of-the-art equipment.

(4,450 posts)the Russians' ability to build capable ground-based air defense systems. This is one of their most recent/advanced ones. My bet would be that it works.

(2,476 posts)Are some of the most proliferated weapons in the world. They look like hell, built poorly, but they do exactly what they are supposed to do with a minimum amount of fuss.
They do know how to design stuff along with making it easy to use. Don't be fooled for one second about their reliability.

Of course, Putin might just release a pee tape over that one.

(25,111 posts)the troops and personnel are going somewhere else. The residence are probably screwed.
Trump might as well have told Putin and Assad where each and every missile will be landing, and at what time. And that was NO "slip of the tongue" on Trump's part. He warned Putin last year when they put some potholes in an airfield, and he warned him this time as well. This is treasonous.

(22,890 posts)and other tactics used to test the resilience of Russia's missile defense system. You can also be sure part of the mission will be to take out these systems. Trump went in half-assed last time. This will be an entirely different attack. Btw, I love the Last Day's Armageddon-style sound track that accompanies this video.
