    Quote: "Air defense complexes and aviation of the CIS countries conducted training anti-terrorist firing"

    This is a topic that we discussed with Figwam - again, the enemy is not called by his name.
    What kind of "terrorists" are these - against whom the latest air defense and aviation are used - and the cis countries are training to defend themselves together - that means "terrorists" are stronger than all cis countries and have strong strike aircraft.

    Maybe we should now call them that - after all, they terrorize everyone - does it mean "terrorists" and not pendos?

      Amer’s won anti-piracy drills by URA cruisers in the Black Sea, so we’re not original here. In general, the article has a couple of inaccuracies. S-400 is not the first time firing at Ashuluk, and the Tu-22M3 is not a new aircraft at all.

        new aircraft Su-34

        The first flight of the prototype Su-34 (Su-27IB “fighter-bomber”) - T10V-1 took place on April 13, 1990. On December 28, 1994, the first production Su-34 (T-10V-5) took off from the aerodrome of the Novosibirsk aircraft plant. The first 2 Su-34s were officially transferred to the Russian Air Force on December 15, 2006.

        Not entirely new, of course, but considering that the Defense Ministry is purchasing for the needs of the army .....

        "At the beginning of April 2010, the Russian division of the German auto concern Daimler AG, CJSC "Mercedes Benz RUS", followed by the parent company admitted to bribery charges filed by the US Department of Justice and the Securities and Markets Commission. The leadership of the Daimler auto concern is accused by the US authorities of bribing officials from two dozen countries, including Russia. "

    putting aside all heresy that our weapons have no analogues in the world (by the way, they didn’t write that they made a new rocket for it) and the fact that our air defense in fact is one of the best in the world .. I wonder ... America is not our enemy ... with by whom are we going to fight and what are we morally prepared for ?????????????
    PS I’m not at all ready to fight with an external aggressor because he is not there, he is invented artificially ... his freaks are enough
