US military experts expressed dissatisfaction with Senator McCain's statement about the need to "urgently refuse to purchase Russian rocket engines"

Leading US military experts strongly criticized statements by Senator John McCain that Washington should in any case refuse to buy Russian rocket engines, even after the accident with the Falcon 9 rocket and the Dragon space cargo ship. Recall that McCain generally linked the crash of the American launch vehicle 28 June with the use of Russian rocket engines of the American space industry.

McCain quotes Reuters:

I will not allow Putin and his buddies to earn 300 million dollars under our defense spending program - the money of American taxpayers at a time when Russian troops are still occupying Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the US Department of Defense said that the unsuccessful launch of the Falcon 9 "may have a very negative impact on the development of the American space program." And US National Intelligence Director James Klepper was even more categorical, sending a letter to the Senate stating that if Washington refuses to purchase Russian engines now, "The Pentagon may face a multi-year loss of access to space."

And the casket just opened ... A Soviet anti-aircraft missile shot down McCain over Vietnam, since then he has developed not so much Russophobia as fear of Soviet / Russian missiles ... He still has a rocket fragment ...
However, I think NASA will hardly be interested in the "practical problems" of the decrepit senator, as well as the Pentagon before that (on the issue of deliveries of Russian MI-17 helicopters to the Afghan army) ...

[ROD VDVshny]

With all the understanding that it is necessary to earn money, I believe that it is necessary to put a spoke in the wheels of the "partners".
Announce the temporary impossibility of selling engines due to hostility of the mattress.
Set a condition for launching only civilian facilities
Link to sanctions
Link with the great ukrams
etc. etc. A lag of several years will give them a huge mass of problems

[VP]

Complex issue.
If you do not sell engines, then they pump a lot of billions into their development and force the topic.
Now they won’t do it.
And selling them old engines develops our industry

[constantin.kiselev2014]

They have already forced, but they don’t see it, and they have invested a lot of money. Now only to us.

[ohtsistem]

McCain is a friend who works for the FSB let them refuse ... it’s sure we won’t be worse ... in their heads not peaceful space but militarization of space

[Snake AAA]

That's for sure, but the most important thing is that they have sensible people who are already against the stupid ideas of McCain and other rams !!!

When actors, in essence - jesters, begin to get involved in politics, hoping for their popularity, and even more so speaking out against the aspirations of the people to which they belong, they thereby put an end to their careers, both the popular actor and the gratitude of the people themselves.

McCain is an old senile and Russophobe. His head still seems to be clogged with fragments from the rocket that hit him.

Anti-aircraft missile is the official version! !! This American was shot down by our captain Yuri Trushechkin, ejected and fell into a lake in the center of Hanoi. He was wounded, suffered broken arms and legs, and was rescued with the participation of local residents. Then he was taken to the main prison of the city of Hanoi, he was injured, received broken arms and legs, and was rescued with the participation of local residents. Then he was taken to the main prison of the city of Hanoi and interrogated. During the first two months of captivity, Mackin practically sat down and lost 23 kilograms in weight. After the concentration camp and interrogations with addiction, a loner meter and a half in the heat and crazy humidity !!! The Vietnamese slightly worked on the psyche !!! There is a good saying: The grave will fix the hunchback !!! He subconsciously hates us and everything Russian, but because of nervousness he simply insulates his panties with stinking slurry !!!!

Not really, he is a very influential republican, in my opinion a hereditary oligarch, although the main candidate is to freeze his ears on evil grandmother.
In general, he has weight, but he threw so many pearls that not every Petrosyan will succeed behind him (in my opinion, he expressed complaints that the windows do not open on the plane ).

McCain does not think that he will die, and he will not see the launch of an American rocket.

.... What is the difference ??? .... According to preliminary data, the accident occurred due to a rupture (from pressure) of the oxygen tank of the 1st stage .... Most likely the drain valve stuck ....

Both stages of the Falcon 9 rocket use the same Merlin 1C engine (SpaceX's own development). A total of 10 engines are installed in the launch vehicle (9 in the first stage and 1 in the second).

No, no, it says McCain, listen to him, he cares about the country, it is worthless to use the achievements of enemies for their own good. Here again, a trampoline, Well, what is not a cheap alternative, and Amer light industry profit. Although, here's a misfortune: the master class, again, will have to be taken from our trampoline athletes. Well, no way without Russia in the world, no way!

[Dr. Barmaley]

McCain generally linked the crash of an American June 28 booster using Russian rocket engines

McCain, as a well-known ace pilot (ace - in the sense of "ass"), still wants to crash only on domestic equipment.

[sever.56]

Not so much money 300 million greens to continue cooperation with the United States in this area, allowing them, at the same time, to press us with sanctions on all fronts, and giving time to continue developing their engines. And you can send expeditions and cargoes to our ISS with our ships.

[shubin]

That is, Russia supplies the potential enemy with engines with which it launches spy satellites, and other military crap. Why is this necessary?

So that everyone does not shout that Russia can only sell oil and gas
In fact, there is nothing wrong if the products of engineering and high technology are sold abroad. This provides an inflow of currency, and a salary with taxes is paid, well, and many other goodies.
If only all this was not to the detriment of the country, but to the advantage.

McCain is very emotional, and with a real American, practicality will always prevail over an emotional impulse, in general they don’t like such people anywhere, they bother everyone, neither an intelligent pilot, nor a good senator.

[Frigate]

Russia and China impose a ban on trade with the United States - a terrible dream of the American administration.

[Vitaly Anisimov]

I’m thinking of picking ours up from the ISS, and there you can talk about sanctions and generally about life ..)))

[shubin]

It would be fine, but then the Americans will break our record, by the duration of their stay in space, years, some, by 5!)))

[gladysheff2010]

McCain, the mouthpiece of the Pentagon "hawks" and the US military-industrial complex, is working out his own way, BUT this is the position of the American political elite, and it will not work to ignore this side. And as for the engines for missiles, this is business and nothing more. , you should not grimace in the market where people earn money. The alternative is the porch.

If they are pressed then temporarily unscrew. Not one Russia launches rockets.
And three hundred lyamov, by comparison, is a hefty piece of the budget of any region.
