You are indeed a dummy.

So the Neptune missile is a hypersonic missile?

Does the Neptune missile have the range of a hypersonic missile?

The maximum range of the Neptune missile is about 180miles.

Do you see why they say you don't have sense? This is a clear example
grin LOL grin U have not answered my question. Is Neptune Igbo made? grin 180miles is far more than Lagos to Benin City in range. Did Russian ships retreat from Neptune in Odessa?

I verify information from various medias before posting the confirmed ones not someone just making something up to swipe their ego.

Most of you were not even born during the Soviet union days but will post comments that are totally false.

We know how Russian intervention in Afghanistan started and how it lead to war and watched the Russians cross back from Afghanistan into Russia way back.

what's China trade volume with Brazil, South Africa, Russia and India, then compare that with China trade volume with the US. that's what I asked and you're talking about a scenario that isn't real just speculation.

Russia sells oils to India is RIP dollars, compare oil market volume in alternative currency with the overall international market then maybe just maybe you'll understand better.

The ship was deployed to Syria, and there are no new cruisers of this tonnage under construction. Russia do not have a shipyard with the capacity to construct one, more reason why they are intent on taking Odessa and one other city like that because these were the original places ships like the Moskva were be built. They are fanning out to capture the industrial bases for themselves.
I don't know where you get that, but there are ports in Russia far East, even in Vladivostok that can construct such ship, izumo helicopter careers are already under construction and have more tonnage like 2800tonnes. Also there is a cruiser under repair/modernization Russia whiv is due to commissioning this year, it hasmore tonnage than this.

It was never deployed to Syria, maybe you can give me any source on that

I guess you're talking about Nigeria's Navy, not one of the most advanced Navy in the world, Russia

For your info it's one of the major no fly zone enforcers for Russia over parts of Ukraine. Russia has the second most powerful Navy Iin the world after the US, for your information. That's why everyone is suprised

How can you enforce a no fly zone and don't have a weapons system to protect yourself? It's not naija's military we're talking about oga. If you check my post I said under water, surface and all the way to space protection system. They use a combination of submarines, land and water radar systems and satellite monitoring to detect and deter incoming missiles.

And that's why I said you are full of propaganda. Russia never declear no fly zones on Ukraine, it was only air superiority to suppress Ukraine airpower. And that's why they still call this a special military operation.

You are still being naiv, satellite hardly dectef launch o cruise missiles cos they fly so low above the ground except ibyou belief the tail that satellite can detft your movement in a market.

Do you know why aircraft careers are always follow by convoy of destroyers/frigates? Cos that are easy prey as satellites will never comes to their aid if being shot at.

We are gen discussing cruisers not careers, bring any proof that cruisers do have convoy or sitdown and learn

1) I never said there's a tank that isn't destructible.

2) You're talking about something in 2006 when that system wasn't even created and it's not even install in all the tanks. I mean my first post even mention 2024 for the Leopard tanks

It must hurt real bad to see someone burst your bubble Sha so I understand. cheesy

Your precious T-90 is not indestructible. It actually has a thin armor plating around the turret which is a place the Javelin missile can easily be programed to strike.

A javelin can be launched from directly in front of the tank and approach it head on but right before it strikes it changes trajectory and rises and then points downward to strike at the thin armor plating at the top and thus T-90 is destroyed.

You will heal wink

Moskva is Russia's flagship

I think you don't know the meaning of a flagship. Let me educate you



A flagship is a vessel used by the commanding officer of a group of naval ships, characteristically a flag officer entitled by custom to fly a distinguishing flag. Used more loosely, [b]it is the lead ship in a fleet of vessels
, typically the first, largest, fastest, most heavily armed, or best known.


It was in a fleet (what you wrongly call a convoy) when it was hit and the rest pulled back further from the Ukraininan coast after evacuating the 500 sailors on board

Do you know what you're talking about or you just hate admitting you're wrong?

Many of those newer equipments you mentioned only exists in Russia's propaganda or have not been fully tested. The s-400 is Russia's bragging right. If it fails in Ukraine eh, that will be billions in potential sales down the drain. They wouldn't want to risk it, especially now that US stealth missiles like harpoons are in Ukraine already. Moreover, it will be a good opportunity for US and NATO to develop battle strategies against Russian latest technologies from the distance of their own borders.
Sometimes I feel as if western nations tricked Putin into invading Ukraine and he took the bait.



Those weapons are real, not propanganda, as you would want to believe. Most have been tested in this conflict but has not been used predominantly.

The S-400 for example proved it's capability when the S-400 anti-aircraft missile deployed in Belarus directly shoot down a Ukrainian Su-27 fighter jet over Kyiv at a distance of 150 kilometers and a huge meteor shower appeared over Kyiv. It created a new long-distance record for shooting down enemy aircraft in actual combat by anti-aircraft missiles.

https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/russia-s-s-400-missile-system-gains-first-blood-in-ukraine-su-27-shot-down-150km-away-reports

The Russians can detect stealth, that is the main reason Turkey jettisoned the F-35 and instead opted for the S-400 due to what they saw happened in Syria. So the Harpoons are hardly a threat in that regard.

Why I would have loved to see more of these weapons being used, I also want this war to end quickly before it escalate out of hand. Moreover, there are talks that the US and NATO have sent covert guys over to Ukraine to study Russian war secrets. Who knows? Maybe that's why the Russians are hesitant to use some of their modern weapons predominantly. Whatever, war is bad.

America toppled the Saddam regime is not i' doubt. I never said 10 days.

Also, America could have gone in alone. The use of allied forces was to make it look like a multi-lateral effort but it was largely a US inspired war. The war was wrong in the first place.

The Iraqi army would have still be stronger than that of Ukraine.

Russia has not lived up to their might military machine. It is simply old glory. It is Putin to blame and not Russia.


It seems you are back to your vomit. You clearly mentioned that sadam was topple within 10days maybe you should check up, and I remixed you sadam was topple not by USA but by allied forces which should tell you Aremica are media tiger except you show me any evidence portraying otherwise.

ThankGod you said the war was wrong in the first place, but to show how great America was why didn't they refuse allied help like Russia is doing at least they can call upon CIS no matter how small they are.

You are still making the same mistake IRAQ would never have be Superior militarily to Ukraine in any circumstance. ONE Ukraine has Soviet experience in manufacturing arms/heavy ammunitions which Iraq doesn't, TWO Ukraine is in Europe and can benefit from advance technology ether stolen or legitimately gotten from Russia and Europe cos o the nearness.

Well it's only senseless being that will want Russia to do what US usually do in any of it's war, US killed more than 10000 civilians in the first week of US-IRAQI war, yet within six weeks of Russia operation there are less than 2000 confirmed civilian death. His is enough to be the best military in the world nobusn brutalities to claim victory.

Mind you Russia has the firepower to level the whole Ukraine in the first week without putting any personel- 2000 calibers + 50 iskander is enough to level whole of kyiv and lyviv but chose otherwise cos that's not Putin's goal, his main aim is to liberate dombass and weaken Ukrain militarily and he's on the verge of that.

To compare how powerful US/NATO force is to Russia, first look at the war in Afghanistan, Afghanistan government were maintained when Russia/USSR was present even till about two years after USSR left in the face of open support of the mujahedeen by the US with weapons, compare to the government the whole NATO trained,nurtured,armed,financed, yet succumbed to ragtag Taliban without open support of weapons after 20years of NATO presence horror
SECOND how could you say Russia has no lived to expectation when Ukraine is being financed,armed and even supported with economic/media war against Russia by about 32 NATO countries? It only show how unfair and bias you guys are

The s400 covers Syria and yet isreal constantly bombards both Syrian and Iranian forces there. Dude, s400 in Ukraine is only doing well against the Ukrainian Jersey because they are soviet era tech. It haven't been tested against modern American or even Swedish supersonic jets.
