Alarm Raised Over Destabilizing New Russian Threat In Space: Reports

[randomradio]

Fact, as reflected by Russian arms sales plummeting.

And yet it still has a model.

Exactly, I rest my case.

Russia’s Boom Business Goes Bust

Moscow’s arms exports have fallen to levels not seen since the Soviet Union’s collapse.

Russian arm trade tumbles

Russia has fallen to a distant second behind the United States in arms export trade and is likely to slide further.

US arms exports increased 50% last year since 2022 as well.

The US ramped up arms exports by more than 50% in 2023, cutting into Russia's own weapons trade: Politico

Russia's invasion of Ukraine helped increase US arms exports to $81 billion in 2023, Politico reported, while also damaging Russia's weapons trade.

You mean global arms sales statistics are just my opinion.

You mean you can't help it if your opinion runs contrary to global arms sale sattistics, even after stating that export sales are evidence. "You are indeed brave Sir Knight but your battle is lost."

Alarm Raised Over Destabilizing New Russian Threat In Space: Reports

No, they say even the Russian capability is in the long term, it's not operational today. If it was anything serious, like a nuke deployment platform, they'd shoot it down. Better to risk a fair conflict than an unfair one. Laser? Unlikely, they wouldn't have built one for blinding...

Your argument right now:

Mostly because of US sanctions and Russian action in Ukraine. They wouldn't pound Ukraine if their weapons weren't any good. Some weapons like Zircon et al are unparallel.

Keep your stupid propaganda off of every thread. Why would US get spooked if Russian weapons don't work? Get smart.

Nope, their sales have been declining since 2009 and the countries who buy weapons from Russia pay no heed to western sanctions.

So far, last-gen PAC-3 CRI and PAC-2 GEM-Ts have been managing fine. Multiple hypersonic weapons shot down, and 5 Su-34/35s in the past few days. Russia is unable to fly over Ukraine, even with its BS stealth jets. Furthermore, even Russian aircraft over 100 miles outside Ukrainian territory are getting shot down in the middle of the Sea of Azov and over Belgorod and Bryansk. In fact, Russian jets have merely proven to be a less fuel efficient way of launching long-range missiles that could be launched from the ground.

Where did I say that Western weapons don't work? In fact, Russia would've steamrolled Ukraine if it wasn't for these Western weapons.

I was just responding to you saying that Russian weapons are ineffective. That's all.


PS: I've read that Russia established full air superiority in Avdiivka which helped ground forces to capture it. Anyways, let's not turn this thread into another Russia vs Ukraine thread cause it is about some exotic space weapon that is anonymous. So just discuss that here.

To some extent, but less effective than claimed and there is little evidence of even successful IRBM intercepts, let alone ICBM intercept.

That's blatantly false. It took them as long and cost them at least as many lives to capture Avdiivka as it did for Wagner to capture Soledar and Bakhmut. Avdiivka is only slightly bigger than Soledar and much smaller than Bakhmut. They captured it via meat assault, here, check this out for how much it cost them, and this was before they'd even finished:

They've lost 6 Su-34/35s in the last 3 days, and that's just from trying to launch long-range glide bombs or ARMs a few km past the frontline from 100+km behind it. When they start using Ka-52s, they start dropping like flies too.

Back on topic, maybe initial assessments were wrong. This is a plain crazy move and massively destabilising.

U.S. Warns Allies Russia Could Put a Nuclear Weapon Into Orbit This Year

BERLIN — U.S. intelligence agencies have told their closest European allies that if Russia is going to launch a nuclear weapon into orbit, it will probably do so this year — but that it might instead launch a harmless “dummy” warhead into orbit to leave the West guessing about its capabilities...

They did not established air superiority what they did is lose more men than Ukraine had defending. Russia lost a divisions worth of men and armored vehicles Ukraine can't compete with that.

Russia is gaining land via WWI methods, except against drones, ATGMs and cluster munitions. Pyrrhic victories all the way to defeat.

If it had air superiority it would be bombing the enemy rather than buying long-range missiles from the DPRK and Iran.

LOSSES of the Armed Forces are five times lower than Russian ones​

First reaction of @randomradio and @jetray, it's a lie? Is it? Even pro-Russian Z-bloggers are placing it at >3:1.

In it, he announced 16 thousand irretrievable losses in the Russian army, when, according to him, the Ukrainian Armed Forces had 5-7 thousand of them.

@randomradio, @Innominate

Looks like it's an actual nuclear warhead in space. 13 of 15 members of the UN security council voted to prohibit them. That combined with the Outer Space Treaty 1967 already in effect gives the US the absolute right to destroy it, should they place one up there.

DOD Official Confirms Russia Is Developing an 'Indiscriminate' Space Nuke

Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy John F. Plumb warned lawmakers that Russia is developing a nuclear weapon in space.

It's going to get shot because:

1. It's against International Law.

2. It's an accident waiting to happen.

3. It could be more than an anti-satellite weapon - EMPs don't just affect space objects, they affect ground equipment too. It could also be a Casaba howitzer.

4. The majority of countries will support the US shooting it down because nobody wants a nuke in orbit above them.

5. Even the Soviets weren't this mental.
