What is your background in ballistic missile defense to make such an authoritative statement?



I was wondering this as well.

These bastards aren't going out without taking a bunch of Ruskies with them are they?

I'm honestly shocked at how well they seem to be doing. They must have stockpiled a lot more weaponry than anyone let on. They have to have better tech that the Russians. That's the only way they can withstand being so outnumbered. That and better tactics I guess.

U.S. is seeing indications that Russian forces are taking risk-adverse actions to protect themselves during combat (not civilians, themselves), U.S. official says.

Big question: Is that risk-adverse behavior because Russian forces are following orders or because they're not?

They know the terrain better. And more importantly, they're fighting for their home and family.

That's one hell of a motivator.

They’re the most advanced in the world. The thing is it’s incredibly difficult to defend against an ICBM.


Since Nukes are controlled electronically and not by impact, could you disable incoming ICBMs by launching our own nukes in their path and detonating it high in the atmosphere over the ocean close to the enemy nuke anc EMP frying it?

So it is suggested that maybe Putin is pulling a Biden and calling the troops to scramble their asses out of there and leave all of their weapons to the enemy? Don't think Putin and Biden are in the same class.

I dont think the Russians soldiers were prepared for urban combat and it seems like the majority of them were not expecting hostility. im not a military guy, but it would probably take months to train soldiers for the type of invasion they were planning. Seems like their military was routed to the border only weeks before this started.

They don't have to be ordered to leave those weapons. They've done plenty of that without an order.

It feels like around 24 hours ago I read that the intelligence was that Kiev was surrounded and that Russia was planning a medieval style siege.
