I hear they have perfected something called, "The Caterpillar Drive". A Magneto-hydrodynamic propulsion system that can allow their subs to run virtually silent. We should all be scared of that that kind of tech for sure.

Wait. I thought DJT was colluding. That’s not something you against your bed partner. (Insert sarcasm)

Y’all know that whole “billions of dollars missing from defense spending” that everybody likes to bitch about? It’s going to stuff like hypersonic defense/offense.

We’re the only country that doesn’t broadcast our capabilities to the world in that regard.

They have successfully tested it for flight and strike capabilities a few times. These are definitely more tactical in nature since they are hard to detect except from space. Additionally, the current missile defense systems are inept to this technology.

We were actually at the forefront of the technology, but allegedly chose not to weaponize it. Which is bullshite.

It is a game changing weapon, and our own defense people are saying it will take to at least the middle of the next decade to have a proper-functioning defense system against it.

Russia does NOT want to frick with America as much as America doesn't want to frick with Russia. The two countries have a mutual respect/hatred for each other because they both know the other would frick them up within 5 minutes.

All icbms for the last 60 years are hypersonic and can't be hit by missile defense unless you get them in the launch phase.

Many years ago putin came out, and basically said that russia does not, and can not develop a defense system like the US. Due to the overwhelming cost of such a program. So they have focused all of their weapon power as offensive. Eventually America's defense system will be hyper sonic, and have the ability to span the globe, and at that point will be an offensive weapon.

At that point there is no ability to even attack america or any of its allies. As any attack will be blown up before it even leaves Russia's air space. So their only option is to have weapons that move faster than america's defense weapon systems. With this information it tells me that if he was to launch an attack it would be almost impossible for them to defend against the counter attack. Now putin does own slightly more nuclear weapons than the US. I am not sure what the maximum payload of their warheads are. The US has a maximum of 1.2 megatons, but they can attach up to 10 warheada on a single rocket. Giving you a single 10.2 megaton thermonuclear explosion. About 75% of the castle bravo test (you can watch the video of this explosion and it is absolutely terrifying)

I have come the conclusion that he will never fire a weapon as they ensueing attack would be fire and fury to the extent of total annihilation. The problem is if he was to attempt an attack it would be an attack that would be total annihilation as well. The attack and response would probably happen so quickly that our atmosphere would be filled with radiation in minutes. I do not see how war between russia and the us would ever happen. Because the gravity of the situation is that neither country would exist in a few hours after it began.
