Russia Almost Wiped Off USA After Mistaking A Research Rocket For ICBM In 1995 by Uptownerd: 11:33am On Oct 01, 2021



The incident is popularly known as the Black Brant scare and not something you would have anticipated happening just a few years after the Cold War ended.

• HOW IT STARTED

Norway and US scientists wanted to conduct a test off the northwestern coast of Norway. They admittedly notified the Russian federation of the tests they wanted to carry out but somehow, the message never got to the appropriate quarters (Russian Defense Agency) before the launch date.

On January 25, 1995, a team of Norwegian and US scientists launched a Black Brant XII rocket from the Andøya Rocket Range in the northwestern part of the country as planned.

Expectedly, Russian air defense systems picked up the projectile which was fired off an American submarine and mistook the research rocket as an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile probably carrying a nuclear head.

We have not seen what Russia and China have done in recent times in terms of War and justified hostility, all we have seen of them is chest beating up and down with no action. Russia will do this, China will do this, China said, Russia said etc. Untill they match their threat with actions, USA is still the world power because they talk and do, the same with their ally Israel, always talk and do

US is the most powerful country in the world. It’s a tired and worn out argument yes, but it doesn’t make it untrue. People who believe this fact also aren’t ass slickers; we just look at statistics and make the most logical conclusion.
You now that is swearing that Russia will destroy US has no evidence or stats to back your claim, you just feel that having a less mainstream opinion would make you look smarter; like someone that thinks for himself.
A popular opinion would remain popular till a major shift occurs. Social media tantrums won’t change anything, nor is the way to go about it.
