Mattis commented on the message of Vladimir Putin

51
The last part of the report of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin devoted to new weapons disappointed the head of the Pentagon, James Mattis, reports RIA News.





I watched President Putin’s speech, and, like many of us, I focused on the last third (on new Russian weapons). The first two thirds are clearly about internal problems, as well as ... about the possibilities to reduce tensions between NATO countries, Western countries ... and the Russian Federation,
said Mattis.

The third part of the message disappointed the US Secretary of Defense. According to him, “the weapons that Putin presented are still being developed and do not change the balance of forces so far.”

I get paid to make strategic assessments ... I would say that I have not seen any changes in Russia's military potential, and even all the systems that (Putin) says are still a few years old,
he noted.

Recall Putin, in his address to the Federal Assembly 1 March, presented the newest types of Russian weaponsthat have no analogues in the world. It was about the Sarmat missile system, underwater drones, a cruise missile with a nuclear power plant, the Kinzhal aviation missile system, laser and hypersonic weapons.

Later, a group of senators appealed to Secretary of State Tillerson to begin a dialogue with Moscow in order to “renew the START-3 treaty” and “increase transparency in the development of non-strategic nuclear weapons.”

          So, Caliber was no secret. It was not a surprise. It is actually catching up. That is, now Russia has its own Ax. True, there are still few carriers (on SPM - one ground-attack Burke press can be projected) and there are no universal launchers.

          About hypersound. The Americans have an official record - 11 850km / 9,6M installed and registered in 2004 year on the X-43. In horizontal flight.

          That is, they have technology, protection.

          Also, do not forget the HTV-2 - which just acts on the principle that the animation of the Vanguard - is displayed on the Minotaur and plans to fly from there on a controlled flight. First flight 10 year (partially successful). The second in 11 - but an epic fail. After the program was transformed into a new device on stage 3. And while it’s quiet.

          Plus, they have quite a working X-51.

            This is not sarcasm - a statement. Some units are already in service. Some are being finalized. And they are in the US. But they don’t know what to do. Caliber, they thought that they did not fly far, but still ... And with his statements, the State Department reassures the allies. Like - they are ahead, buy from them.

            It’s just that we have such a tradition in Syria that all the time to announce our victories a little ahead of time. And so everything is true.
            I think it’s not worth treating the words of the head of the Pentagon condescendingly, he has many opportunities to learn the truth more than everyone else. It may well be that he is really paid for a reason.

            In general, in my comment, it was about our country. Do you think that even if Putin was bluffing, the USA would strike at us? In the presence of nuclear weapons is very unlikely. And as for Syria ... what does Syria have to do with it? If the United States wants to really strike in Syria, then no one will stop them, Israel will periodically work out attacks on Syria, Turkey, like the United States, by the way, occupied part of Syria, and nothing .... some arrange genocide of a certain part of the population, others set up and prepare military bases militants. Therefore, if Trump decides to strike Kyrgyzstan again in Syria, or worse starts a ground operation against the SAA, I don’t think that someone will stop them. Ours for the sake of Syria will not go to a military conflict with another country.

        Zircon has not yet been adopted, and so far there are no carriers of hypersonic anti-ship missiles, but the dagger has been adopted .... here you can only rejoice at our military-industrial complex and the army as a whole. Well, about the value of the AOG, they were reset, perhaps, although the concept of its application vryatli will be revised due to the development of our weapons ... they will rather try to come up with means to counter this threat. And who knows ... in the world (without taking our latest developments) there were no invulnerable weapons, there was always the opportunity to neutralize such weapons or to do the same to create parity (like nuclear weapons, for example), but here the US head will certainly have to be smashed over a solution to such a problem.

      You're strange. To begin with, they will collect the maximum information. Actually it’s written in plain text - “enhancing transparency in the development of non-strategic nuclear weapons”.

      Then they check with their own and decide. If ahead of the 3-5 years. Then they can freeze a little through the contract, and then when their Wunderwaffles come up to readiness to withdraw from the contract, as they have already done more than once, as not meeting the interests of the USA.

      If approximately +/- or the USA is ahead, then there is nothing to say, one more portion of sanctions and that’s all.

    What can I say, Putin allowed the Pentagon, so Mattis is disappointed. Surely he was satisfied with the scam. Now, if in the third part of Putin’s appeal was about how we lagged behind the United States in armaments, then Mattis would be fascinated by this. About a few years before the appearance of these types of weapons - this is an excuse for the Senate.
