Russia should be warned that its dangerous flybys of US ships and planes could be met by force, President Barack Obama's nominee as the next NATO and US European Command commander said Thursday.

"Sir, I believe that should be known -- yes," Army Gen. Curtis M. "Mike" Scaparrotti said when asked by Sen. John McCain whether Russia should be told that the US would take action if American lives were endangered.

Pursuing the same line of questioning, Sen. Joe Donnelly, an Indiana Democrat, asked Scaparrotti whether the Russians should be told that "next time it doesn't end well for you."

The general responded that "we should engage them and make clear what's acceptable. Once we make that known, we have to enforce it.

"I think they're pushing the envelope in terms of our resolve," Scaparrotti added. "It's absolutely reckless, it's unjustified and it's dangerous." As NATO commander, he said one of his first actions would be to review the rules of engagement for US and allied forces in the region.

On Monday, two Russian Su-24 fighters made numerous, close-range and low-altitude passes while the US guided missile destroyer USS Donald Cook was conducting landing drills with helicopters in the Baltic Sea.

On Tuesday, a Russian helicopter circled around the Cook seven times at a low altitude. About 40 minutes later, two Su-24s made 11 close-range and low-altitude passes.

Secretary of State John Kerry later said that the sailors of the Cook would have been justified in shooting down the Russian fighters.
"It's unprofessional, and under the rules of engagement that could have been a shoot down, so people need to understand that this is serious business, and the United States is not going to be intimidated on the high seas," Kerry said in an interview on CNN Espanol.

Scaparrotti, now commander of US Forces Korea, was testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee at what could be called a historic confirmation hearing.

Seated next to him at the witness table was Air Force Gen. Lori Robinson, currently commander of Pacific Air Forces, who has been nominated as the next commander of US Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). If confirmed, Robinson would become the first woman to command a combatant command. Both Robinson and Scaparrotti appeared headed to easy confirmation. "I look forward to moving your nominations through the US Senate," said McCain, an Arizona Republican and the SASC chairman.

If US Destroyer had shot down Russian JET, many of you would come here and be crying foul play. Only few people would understand

During the cold war, Russia pilots get medals for buzzing or flying over a US ship. They go home and beat their chest thinking they were number one. The Soviet union eventually fell flat on its face. They should keep it up. Nobody really cares but if they keep pushing, They will definitely get what they deserve.

Soviet/Russia's military behaving unprofessionally is not really new.

Between,Russia re-tested their intercontinental ballistic missiles yesterday(ICBM) and no known technology,or underway defense technology can intercept it.


America can't deal with it.they don't have this type of ICBM

WOMAN,DON'T CRY WITH THE AMERICANS IF RUSSIA WARSHIPS ARE CONDUCTING LANDING DRILLINGS WITH SOUTH-AMERICA COUNTRIES ON PACIFIC OFF THE COAST OF CALIFORNIA.

You come to my backyard to conduct a provocative wide-scale war games at the baltic in the name of freedom of navigation.

You go to the South-China sea to conduct another confrontational drill with the Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force (MSDF) within 12 nautical miles of a chinese artificial island - also in the name of freedom of navigation

You go to the disputed waters of the Korean Peninsula to conduct a provocative live-fire naval exercise - also in the name of freedom of navigation.

Iran was conducting a live-fire naval drill in the strait of hormuz (which by the way is Iranian territorial waters), you go there to do busy-body with your useless aircraft carrier (USS Harry s. Truman) and when, during the drill, iranian rockets flew in close proximity past your useless carrier - you started crying foul

How would Amerika react if she's conducting a live-fire exercise off the coast of California and a fleet of Chinese destroyers come sailing by?

Is Amerika the only Country in the world? Amerika's aggressive behaviour is not only sickening but can also lead to ww3.

If a Russian Borei-Class Submarine torpedoes a fleet of Amerikan Aircraft Carrier at the Black or the Baltic Sea for provocative reasons; by the time we finish apportioning blames, the entire Amerikan east & west coasts would have been reduced into radioactive wastelands

YES what pains me most is that most of these local midgets on nairaland now think that buzzing a warship means "being powerful" or superior than others. lolz

Sit down and learn, America also tested their Minuteman missile on February 6, 2016, and guess what, those missiles are unjammable unlike one nerver-do-well called scully95 claiming to jam Nuclear deterance missile out of sky.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/nuke-test-missile-message-pentagon-071243310.html?ref=gs . Again, another Trident missile was tested on November 8, 2015 https://www.yahoo.com/news/ufo-off-california-streaking-light-missile-test-pentagon-053910950.html?ref=gs

smh. You comment like someone who just started following international politics since the advent of Gotv.
Calculate and tell me the difference between the devastating effect of Russian SS-18 missile on America and the and American devastating effect of Trident block D-5 missile on Russia.

Stop living in the past. You know what @jnhmaxxwell said, U.S should just test run it and aim moscow for example and see the End. There is no point argueing with you. You like to believe in crap and speed. It's not about speed again in the 21st century. it's about manuaverbility, again ability to dulge anti-missile deffense. You like living in the soviet era. Wake up.

Minute or trident or even even build another one and call it second man, it will be deceived/shut down via powerful jamming capabilities. Russia has arsenal of this capabilities.
You are so archaic.. Unjammable ?? lol

Even U.S itself agreed that she was in Ukraine learning about Russia's jamming capabilities. Here you are saying the same U.S has tested those minute or secondman junk in Russia access denial area ? The last time I checked the empire of lies U.S is looking for who can break into the Access Denial space to re-enforce its own. Again living in the past.

Stop already pls..

As long as what is powering the missile uses Electronics. It can be jammed. Except if it will only be firing stone like and just project it to Russia without anything powering it. Which is not possible.


For those who do not understand how jamming capabilities has gone in Russia.. Here it creats a shield over an area or space. An incomming missile once in that area will either be deflected and this may even explode it. Now you have an incomming missile that is lost in the area where the shield is being activated.

This has been proved in syria on T90 that was supplied in the video bellow.

Here a TOW missile was deflected via the same Active protection shield.. This same but a more powerful shield being used during an access denial zone or space.

Poeple with no idea of how it works should see a small version of it installed on T90 above.

Despite the fact that it is mind-numbing to engage a simpleton like you in any intellectual back-and-forth, I will still try and unfurl how ill-structured your mentality is about Missile and its structured.
Missiles are nothing without their warheads. Missiles are mere metal vehicle/case moving warheads. even if you successfully jam an incoming ICBM which I doubt , will it neutralize or make its warhead ineffective or will you send the ICBM back to the launch site through postal service? Even if you jam an incoming ICMB in the sky, it won't kill its loaded warheads on it. The best way of guiding against ICBM is by intercepting them and that is why you see many countries spending billions of dollars in developing various integrated Air Defence System. Even intercpting an ICBM within endosphere is not safe due to massive radioactive air pollution. As you can now see, ICBMs like Minuteman, Trident, Topol-M or SS-18 are not toys to play with. They are MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION 'MAD'. But due to the largeness of your ignorance and depth of your stupidity, you think that jamming an incoming ICBM will blast the entire ICBM out of the sky.
You also talked about maneuverability of missiles? yes maneuverability is another important issue. There is something that we called "THRUST VECTORING , If you read physics you will understand, well do me a favour by searching it on google. Most ICBM carries Thrust vectoring for maneuverability against air defence. For example, Russian SS-18 missile can move in S direction in order to escape any integrated air defence. POOR YOU!!!!!
I hardly reply cumberground like you but for the sake of others who may wish to sip from the fountain of my knowledge. Thank me later

Again when I say you don't have brain, I know what I am talking about. Do anyone need to use cutlass to slice your brain and put fresh brains there cos the one you have at the moment is dead and full of water..

See the map bellow. This is Russian city in middle of western puppets or vassals.
You see the area covered by the (A2/AD)..

Have you ever used your brain and apply sense here. Pure sense. You have a shield with that massive circumfrence, reaching warsaw in Poland.. Now imagine a missile being fired, trident, minuteman or per second man being fired from denmark for example.. Now and it meets an Active protection shield with powerful jammer, before it gets to Kaliningrad, common sense will tell you that it would be deflected to Warsaw or Berlin.


Just check the map bellow. Here if the missle or nuke on it explode, you have just done a great job exploding one of your puppets.


NOW TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE FIRST PHOTO AND SECOND PHOTO..

SECOND PHOTO IS russian (A2/AD) IN THE baltics WHILE THE FIRST ONE IS S400 RANGE...
When you type your junk again always add brains with ilustration.

How old are you? you seem to enjoy Video games too much. Have you heard about 'PENAID' on ICBMs? No!!!

scully95:

it would be deflected to Warsaw or Berlin.

Yes It will be deflected to Poland or Berlin through Russian postal service. Little Russian pig, why can't you divert it to your bedroom with your magic wand? Instead of you to sit down and grok sound militarized tuition from your demi-god, you were busy regurgitating jabberwocky just to cover the axes of your foolishness on Nairaland. Well, that shows that stupidity goes a long way in defining who you are.
You think ICBMs are mere Cruise missile that you can intercept with your swollen brain.

For example, Trident missile is capable of carrying at least about 8 (W76/Mark-4) Warheads per missile and the Number of kilotons on one warhead is capable of yielding about 100 kilotons of energy. Now if the Atomic bomb dropped in Hiroshima yielded about 15 Kilotons of energy. Then we will be having ( 8 warheads x 100 Kilotons) = 800 KT per missile. Now divide 800kt ÷ 15KT(Hiroshima) = x 12000 of Hiroshima destructive effect.
Now if America launches 5 straight Trident missile against Russia, It does not even need to reach Russian boarder before things will start falling apart. Assuming 15KT of hiroshima bomb killed approximately 80,0000 people altogether, now tell me how many people will die in an event of Trident. Idiot, This bumbling idiot wants to jam incoming ICBM and still divert it to Poland. .
You even said it will be deflected to Germany? LOLZZZZZ. I don't know if Russia has started producing War movies just to propagate fallacy and to hoodwink a slimeball like you whose mental proficiency has been jammed from seeing the fact that Nuclear war is a lose-lose for human race.

this junkie post confirmed what i said earlier about you. you are stuck in the past and living in Hiroshima days. i don't need to continue with you. Just one word. Grow up boy, stop living in the past. And last point, as long as it's electronics, it's jammable and can be decieved.
No matter the number of re-entry vehicles it has, as long as what is powering it is Neutrons or electrons.. It can be shut down.
Im clossing this comment cos you are a deaf and dumb. This will be my last comment on this topic because you are just a deaf and dumb.

Still stuck in Hiroshima days. Zombie

Another video below shows the same U.S TOW missile could not penetrate T90. The video bellow shows T90 was opened and Active Protection system won't work at the time it was being targeted. After the hit, you could see the crew guy jumping out of it.
