Don't be stupid (no offense). Let us even assume for a second that the F-35 was not hit by the S-200 but by the bird's collision narrative as being propagated in the Zionist media.

Doesn't your brain tell you that if a $400Billion flying rust-bucket can be rendered unserviceable by a bird collision, then it surely means that the best way to defeating the F-35 flying brick is neither the Russian S-300s nor S-400s - but by a flock of vicious homing pigeons or flamingos.

Hahahahahaaa!

Again, a news blackout in the western MSM like CNN & BBC indicates that the axis of evil have indeed taken a huge kick in their scrotum.

Where is Missy89, CSTR1000, Mazeltovscotty & that Jewish boy - ValerianSteel?

The silence of the people you mentioned is deafening. cool

And as usual, if you want to get the truth about any major event that scratched the hegemonic beard of the western bloc, watch the western media coves. Once you notice a blackout, know the story is true. grin

it is their normal way of telling the "truth".. .. .. Hahaha hahaha grin

Lolz u probably don't knw u need the golan height to invade israel, so its very important for israel existent.

You don't need the Golan Heights to invade Israel what happened to the sky and sea, lol? And besides did Syria tell you they want to invade Israel? What for?

The Golan Heights became a major territorial bone of contention between Israel and Syria due to the availability of oil/mineral deposits in it.

Sorry to disappoint u. The plane was hit big time. What else can stop the f35 from being serviceable. Don't tell me you believe the bird fallacy? I would be disappointed.. grin

Have you forgotten so soon the wound Hezbolla inflicted on Israel in 2006? Go get your facts before u argue. That Israel are God's chosen people doesn't mean they can't lose a war. Get that right.

ZandhaZaraZ:
So American "technical superiority" is a propaganda based on overhyped toys, designed only for pomp and ceremony. Holy Mary.

Are you doubting it? cheesy

everything about uncle SAM has been a circus show, especially when they're faced with tougher opponents.

Let me refresh your memory a bit. cheesy

1. In 1999, Serbia shot down an American stealth fighter-the f-117 using a 1966 Soviet made SAM. This was followed by the downing of the overhyped B-2 spirit of Missouri, which as usual, they denied, but facts on the ground confirmed it.

2. In 2007, a Chinese song class submarine destroyed the myth that a US fleet carrier cannot be "reach" by enemy subs or ship without being noticed. But that fateful day, the US navy and one of their fleet carrier battle group were conducting a live fire training exercise during which every sensor and computer systems were switched on. The Chinese sub then passed the other ships unnoticed and surfaced right behind the fleet carrier. When the Americans saw it, they were totally disappointed and angry. cheesy

What does it mean? If it were to be in a real war scenario, the Chinese submarine (which was modeled after the Russian kilo Klass sub) would easily have destroyed the entire thing without be noticed. That was how that overhyped and overrated floating Bathroom unreachable myth was solely and effectively dissipated. grin

3. In 2015, the US fleet carrier battle ship, Theodore Roosevelt, was chased by Russian submarines from the black sea after venturing too close to Russian territorial waters. The ship ran away from the Russia subs which were using the alleged Maghreb technology, and anchored by the sea shore of HAMPSHIRE to the surprise of the town people who wake up to see the giant ship gasping for breath right in their backyard. Of course, the unashamed liars said they stopped there because there was no port for them in the town to belt. The question is, why would such a ship with state-of-the-art technology and communications anchor by the sea shore of a town that has no port for it, when there are better ports of call in Manchester and London? grin

A liar is always a liar.

4. In that same year, Iran shot down an Israeli stealth fighter drone-the one that flew over Iran's nuclear site. They also commandeered and captured alive a US stealth drone, which happens to be the most sophisticated in US military arsenals. Even the Chinese came and did a copy of their own from the feast through reversed ENGINEERING. grin

And now, the f35.. .. They keep giving while trying desperately to lie their way out of it. I don't even need to mentioned the useless Patriot missiles that could not even shoot down a single Russian made drone that enters Israeli territory last year. cheesy

So gentlemen, while the US is good in weaponry, their success rates and selling points are based overwhelmingly on propaganda rather than actual test reality.

Don't also forget that back in 2015, there was a NATO TRAINING Section between top NATO ally countries, and during that exercise, the French navy, using a 30-year old submarine, sunk an American fleet carrier, and took some accompying ships with it. cheesy

The bad a*s French navy even published the result on their website but removed it after two days to please the US embarrassment.

Now you can see that the same pattern is being played over and over again. When the reality happens, they always look for a way to cover it up, and the gullible are quick to believe it. But logical minds like us don't cause we know how America works. Thriving on propaganda has always been the main theme all along.

Pathetic.

that's if it was really hit... a war with israel its no joke they can do anything to win becos they must ask Egypt, iraq, yemen,lebanon and many of them. EGYPT fought israel for the sinai and today they can't even keep terrorist out from it my point is syria should not use the golan height as a reason to hate israel becos they hated them from the start...

The Golan Height is an issue but the real reason behind Israel's incursion into Syria is fear of Hezbolla getting stronger. They also want Assad out to pave the way for the pipeline passage. And that's is the primary reason why Russia has intervened.

The plane was hit, period. Even a blind man knew the IDF is trying hard to cover something. cheesy

I am sure that those still perceiving Amerika as the world's most powerful military force on Earth must be shitting out their intestines by now - out of fear, failure & disappointments.

In the event of any war with Russia, this is how all the Amerikan & NATO flying scraps will be knocked off from the skies by unbeatable sophisticated missile defenses from Russia while CNN & BBC will keep doing their hatchet jobs of covering it up.

The Ediots keep showing off their folly for the world to see. If traditional allies and NATO member states like Satan Arabia, Turkey and Greece (who operates the S-300) are gunning for Russian S-400, it is enough for the suicide mission-bound nations who have ordered the f-35 flying coffins to realize that they are simply throwing away their money. If an outdated SAM like the S-200 can spot and score a hit against the f35, one wonder what the S-300 and S-400 would do. No wonder Israel was fiercely and practically begging Russia not to give Syria the S-300. grin

I have lost count of how many times Benjamin Netanyahoo has traveled the Moscow route trying to pressure Putin from giving Syria the S-300. Now, we have seen the result and the reasons behind all those trips. grin

What a pathetic bunch.

If the serbians could shoot down an F-117 stealthy jet & a B2-Spirit - another stealth with a Russian S-125 back in 1999, Y then do you think that a brand new state-of-the-art “overrated” fighter jet would be able to cope with a 50year old (1966) Russian SAM (S-200) ?

Gentlemen, I have said it times without number that - Russia wins all the time.

Just think & imagine what the Russian S-500 has in-stock for all these overrated flying coffins - including the F-22 Raptors.

I command you to withdraw that insult... grin

the S-500? When they can't even get past the S-300 and S-400 yet? Why do you think Israel was begging Russia not to give the S-300 to Syria since the brouhaha started? That thing would have got the entire territory of Israel covered and in closed range. Ask yourself, why would a NATO member state like Turkey be gunning for the S-400? Because their military planners knew about its capabilities and how it has been "painting" all US planes flying in Syria sky, and we know the F22 raptor has been flying over there also. cheesy

Even the US DoD attested to this fact in one of their complaints about Russia's capabilities in Syria.

So bringing the S-500 to this charade is an insult to the weapon and the alienic brain behind it. cheesy

are you not aware that the S-500 can take out satellites in space? The raptor and the f35 fighters are already dead on arrival. Do you know that the F22 raptor flies 7hours in the sky and spend the next 72hours on the ground doing its manicure? grin

The US so-called advanced 5th generation fighters are bunch of jokes that would fit in well in Mr Bean comedy shows. The F16, f18 etc,. are way better. cheesy

I only pity Countries such as Australia who have bought or ordered (100 units), Denmark (27 units), Italy (60 units), Japan (5 + 37 additional units), Netherlands 8 + 27 units), Turkey (120 units), South Korea (40 units) & Amerika (1, 763 units planned) of the F-35 coffins & the unfortunate pilots who will fly them. Hahahahahahahahaaa

Here in Moskow, we don't play!

They have already signed contracts and it's regrettably lugubrous that some human beings will be burying themselves as dead pilots in flying coffins...

As for Russia playing by the rules, no surprise here. Russian weapons are made to work., and work they do. Give it up for the sons of Russia, the alien descendants of Kal El.. .. . cool

A plane that passed the bird certification test with alleged breathtaking results suddenly became unserviceable after an alleged bird collision which allegedly happened two weeks ago but was being reported now after a Syrian S-200 SAM launched at Israeli fighter planes. grin

Uncle Sam has a long history of overeating while Russia has a history of "under reporting" the capacity of its hardware. Keeping the enemy curious has always been a pattern in Soviet history. Curiosity cloaks the actual capability, and that's the modus operandi in the traditional military life of Russia. So it wasn't surprising we are seeing the same pattern here. While one side does the showmanship and hype, the other simply let the reality speak for itself.

I repeat, Donald Trump should pull the plug on lockheed Martin and some heads should row. That plane is the scam of the 21st century.

Now, before you mendacious folks doing life in western prison of mendacity start hallucinating with shouts of lies, take time to read through and digest the whole piece. This is where logic comes to play. And the logic is that if a "bird" can cause a serious collision with the f35 two weeks ago, to the extent that it becomes "unoperational" for the time being, why does it still have anything to do with the Syrian battery hit?

2. Israel said the allege bird collision happened two weeks ago prior to the October 16th incident with the Syrian anti Air strikes and counter battery attack: why then was it reported now? No such incident was reported two weeks ago. Get the logic? cool

The logic is very clear. The IDF is trying to hide something but unfortunately, logical reasoning gave them out. The facts doesn't just add up, they were complete lies. That useless flying coffin was hit and the only way they could cover it was claim that a fiticous incidents that happened two weeks back (which never did happened) was responsible for the damaged f35 fighter. Ediots! grin

They wanted to show off to Shoigu that Israel is very active in the scheme of things, but it didn't quite worked out as planned. A Soviet Era SAM, which have an unenviable track record of diagracing overhyped US stealth fighters, have confirmed our worst fear all along. An outdated S-200 damaging the almighty boondoggle f35 is enough justification to hang every single head in Lockheed Martins. Just like the useless patriot missile, the 1996 Serbia downing of the US stealth fighter, the alleged B-2 downing, etc., the f35 is just another addition to the long list of facts that the US is been scammed and possibly sabotaged by the Greedy bastards in the MIC.

I would like to see how my Langley colleagues would explain this. grin

Missy89, Valeriansteel and Co, was Israel trying to hide a fact or not? cool

ISRAEL IS HIDING THAT ITS STATE-OF-ART F-35 WARPLANE WAS HIT BY SYRIAN S-200 MISSILE – REPORTS
17.8K 6291 55 Share2294 95 27.3K Donate

Illustrative image: Israeli Air Force F-35 warplanes
It looks that the Israeli “demonstration of power” during the recent visit of Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has turned into a total failure.

On October 16, Shoigu arrived Israel for meetings with Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The sides were reportedly set to discuss the situation in the region, including Syria, the fight against terrorism as well as military and technical cooperation.

At the same day, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claimed that its warplanes targeted an anti-aircraft battery of the Syrian Air Defense Forces that had launched a missile at Israeli aircraft flying over Lebanon.

The IDF added that the Syrian missile didn’t hit any Israeli aircraft.

“The army targeted the battery with four bombs and, according to the IDF, the battery was damaged to the extent it was no longer operational. The army said the battery targeted was the same that fired at Israeli jets last March, prompting Israel make use of its Arrow anti-missile system for the first time,” the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on the issue.

The Syrian military confirmed the Israeli strikes and said that they caused “material damage.”

It’s interesting to note that, according to the Syrian Defense Ministry statement, Israeli warplanes violated Syria’s airspace on the border with Lebanon in Baalbek area. The incident took place at 8:51 am local time.

Could the Israeli Air Force intentionally provoke the reaction from the Syrian military in order to justify the strike on the Syrian air defense battery?

Furthermore, some pro-Israeli experts and media activists clearly linked the incident with the visit of the Russian defense minister to Tel Aviv saying that it was a nice demonstration of power to the Russian-Iranian-Syrian alliance.

However, something went wrong.

According to the available information, the Syrian Defense Forces used a S-200 missile against the Israeli warplane. This Soviet-made missile is the most advanced long range anti-aircraft system opearated by the Syrian military. Even in this case, it’s old-fashioned in terms of the modern warfare.

Despite this, the Syrian Defense Ministry said in its statement that government forces responded to the violation of the airspace and “directly hit one of the jets, forcing [Israeli aircraft] to retreat.” This statement contradicts to the Israeli claim that “no hit” was confirmed.

Few hours after the missile incident with Syria, the Israeli media reported that the Israeli Air Force’s F-35 stealth multirole fighter went unserviceable as a result of an alleged bird collision during a training flight.

The incident allegedly took place “two weeks ago” but was publicly reported only on October 16. However, Israeli sources were not able to show a photo of the F-35 warplane after the “bird collision”.

Furthermore, it is not clear if the F-35 can become operational again because its stealth coating was damaged. Thus, according to the Israeli version, the warplane reportedly became no longer operational after the bird collision despite the fact that the F-35 earlier passed the bird strike certification with great results (official info here). The F-35 is the world’s most expensive warplane. The price of developing the F-35 is now about $406.5 billion.

Israel is actively buying the world’s self-proclaimed most advanced fighter paying about $100 million for each plane.

So what did really hit the F-35?

By the way did y'all seen the reports about an Israeli F-35 that was allegedly hit by a Syrian S-200 missile battery? What a flying coffin that scrap of metal is turning out to be.

Dear comrade, if there is one thing I have known Russian for, it is the simplicity and reliability of their weapon systems. The ediots were trying to hide the fact that the overrated flying coffin was hit in Syria. They keep denying it even when some feelers from Israel were saying the same thing.

The US has gone beyond manufacturing, though Trump wants to bring it back by reducing taxes and bringing back US companies looking for cheap labour in china back home.
Anybody can manufacture. It is not difficult especially with cheap labour. The difficult thing is creating the intellectual property which is a product of innovation.
If the US and china were to go to the war, the US government would immediately enforce the patriot act compelling all US manufacturers like Apple, HP, TESLA, DELL, e.tc. in china to come back home immediately.
And that would severely cripple china as the world's manufacturing giant to a very very large extent.

And you think the Chinese don't know that already? There would even be no need to activate e the patriot clause cause it won't work. China would simply take over those companies or prevent them from leaving. It's as simple as that.

America is a Paper Tiger! It can no longer fight or win wars in any meaningful way. Do you know that unlike the fearless, strong-willed, battle-hardened Russians, Chinese and North Koreans, the Americans are just weak-ass, cowardly, bugger-eating, psychologically feeble loudmouths? Americans FEAR death. America can't stand CASAULTIES. America is AFRAID of casaulties---which makes all its "technical superiority" pointless and easy to nullify in a battle against [color=darkgreen]people with souls[/color]. Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam have demonstrated this fact quite clearly. Or can it be said that any meaningful victory was achieved in Iraq? It is even said that America BRIBED Saddam Hussein's key soldiers to save her bugger-eating cowards from the heavy casaulties that they would have otherwise experienced. What a joke!

The Americans are empty, dumb, cretinous and crass---their enemies are spiritually and ideologically unbreakable. America's ember is dying, and its hegemony is being ECLIPSED on the world stage. The Zombie can only stagger on for a little longer. America should make no pointless moves that would embarass it any longer. The propaganda it lives and survives on is the only thing that now keeps it going.

Americans are weak people. Remember what 9/11 did to their psyche? You can be sure that had Hitler invaded America instead of the INDEFATIGABLE Soviet Union, he would have won World War II.

God died, and Nietzsche was the one who "called it". America has died, just that no one has "called it" yet. The GHOST is distracting people from seeing the CORPSE.

Thank you sire. This is my problem with all these Amerikan-fan boys who only see things from the prism of the zionist mainstream media.

They have refused to accept tha everything we have seen so far indicates that Amerika is not rational or reasonable when it comes to accepting that her days as the “almighty” dictator of the world are over.

And instead of working to keep that “hell-hole” internal contradictions from tearing apart, her leaders are absolutely obsessed with holding on to their power and “punishing” Russia, Iran & NK for imaginary, or manufactured, transgressions - Pathetic!

Libya and the fate of Gaddafi stand as a stark reminder of what the “United Snakes of Amerika” would like to do to her self-created enemies.

Syria was scheduled to undergo the same treatment but the NATO/Zionist fist was stopped in mid-swing by the latest “Sheriff-in-Town” a.k.a Mother Russia in 2015 and Amerika has been frothing at the mouth ever since.

While China continues to dominate the world “Economically” ; the unbeatable “Military Arc of Covenant” of the world rests on Mother Russia!

Y else do you think most Countries - including NATO member states - are fighting to purchase Russian Military gears? Hahaahahahahahaaa!

Saudi Arabia now queueing up for S-400. Erdogan and his military must have leaked the secret how the system was effectively "painting" all US planes including the F-22 raptor in Syria and across the incirlik airbase in Turkey. The US DOD open complain further lend credence to this fact, and that's why Turkey didn't waste anytime in pushing for the purchase. Now, other traditional allies of the US are following suit.

What a game changing moment brought about by the Russian intervention.

Mazeltovscotty:
you are contradicting yourself.
US spend more than 80% of its military budget on hardwares and military researches. (F-35 comes to mind). You can take a ride to DARPA website and confirm.
Have you ever seen a month that Pentagon doesn't award contract the likes of Lockheed, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics e.t.c for one hardware or the other.

Secondly, there is need to project power all over the world giving US first-strike edge in any part of the world. This needs to be matched with fat budget.

Lies. The majority of US military spending goes into personel maintenance such as tissues, toothpaste, food, etc., and infrastructural maintenance like the over 800 military bases they have worldwide. Only a few of that translate into capabilities.

Stop the overhype, Pentagon doesn't award contracts on monthly basis. Most contracts are given out for maintenance and upgrade, only few goes for new systems.
Now the F-35 you mentioned is one of the reasons the US military is gradually becoming a waste basket. Spending billions on a project that simply doesn't work is unwise and wasteful for the prestige of the military. The B-2 is just another example, dropping just only five bombs in its entire career, yet it was hailed as the best plane ever built. Despite the hype, it has been relegated to the background with the US preferring the F-22 (which so far is a success) and now the F-35, the greatest boondoggle of the modern Era.

If it were to be in places like China, some heads would be rolling in the gallows by now. But being the US, the MIC can continue scamming the government and the people. That's the ultimate price when the greedy tentacles of capitalism runs the national ideology.

Well the article is from bloomberg and you can also find it on CNN. America becam a super power thanks to the destruction of western europe during the second world war. Japan has capitalism and has been in depression for decades. Japan economy can hardly grow 1%. They were projected to surpass the US. by early 90's. Communism is really working for the Chinese and we should applaud them.

Many still don't understand the peripheral reality of what so-called Democracy and Cummunism entails to the states that practice them. While some would see and interpret the right of a people to sleep with animals or marry same-sex partners as Democratic, while states that frowns at such practices and seek to manage resources for the common good are tagged "undemocratic" and backward, so much has been forgotten about the Purchasing power of the average man on the street. And that's exactly what this article is trying to point.

THAT WHAT YOU CALL YOUR GOVERNMENT DOESN'T MATTER BUT THE SYSTEM AND PEOPLE THAT DRIVES IT.

If Democrasy and capitalism should be taking at face value the way its been portray, you wouldn't have had a United States with the world's most billionians yet one of the world's worst Healthcare system that ranked below Slovenia and Morroco. Not to mention a failing and dilapidated infrastructural system.

The fact remains that capitalism-the power of one man above a million-have done much harm than good to the society. We see the extremely rich sentenced to death in China, a communist society, but that will never happen in the capitalist greedy West like in the US.

Yeah, communism is working good for China and is only midgets with warp beliefs and myopic sentiment that doesn't know China has pulled ahead of the US in this area.
As I have always stated over time, the numbers of warships or you have won't win you a war. It is the inate will of the people and productive capacity of a state, together with the ultimate decision of the cosmic powers that determine the outcome of a war.

I think Putin is planning to go undercover given the relationship with Zhirinovsky I can deduce he's making the move every great leader takes; creating a strong protege.

@Zohaariel, u need not be scared about the U.S stealing the technology behind the S-400 should the Russians go ahead and sell to the Saudis because I read somewhere an assertion made by a Russian general that the technology can never be stolen,the reason being that the S-400s for export are not same with the ones used by the Russian military,he said they re entirely different and so there shouldn't be any worries from any quarters about the possibilities of the technology falling into their adversaries' hands,he went ahead to say they know that enemy countries could lay their hands on these priceless hardware and prise them apart.

Finally I think the general is more at home with rip offs of this magnitude than u nd I,so relax while we await how things pan out...

Very sensible. You got the info right ! Besides, no country will spend billions of dollar acquiring a high-tech weapon only to allow a fellow ally to to take it, dismantle it and steal the secrets behind it. It just doesn't make sense.

And like you rightly mentioned, the export variants of the S-400 are different from those operated by the Russian army. Again, this is a great strategic play here, the best of geopolitics which the Russians are known for.

So, if they are selling such a priced weapon, it's because they must have weigh the calculus and envisioned all possible outcomes. At the end, a sale is more favorable and which is not just good for the Russian weapon industry, but strategically hurting American interest while causing a steady but decisive shift in the cross-border politics of the Middle East.

One thing a lot of people are missing in this whole unfolding drama is the monkey dance of NATO and the certification of Russian weapons as "working". While NATO boast of having the best military assets (with more than half of that made up of US overhyped systems,) Russian simply authenticate its by allowing events to unmasked the reality. Turkey is hell bent on buying the S-400 systems because they were aware of all that was happening across the Syrian airspace. When the US DoD bitterly complained that "all" of its planes were being "painted" by Russian Air defense systems, it means the F-22 raptor is just another flying coffin. Erdogan military experts knew all this, hence the rush to acquire the weapon at all cost.

If anybody think it was just to get back at NATO for the failed Visa deal with the EU or some kind of payback to American for refusing to extradite Fetulla Guland, that would have been a myopic excuse as the house of Saud is now poise to buy the same weapon.

So why? To appease Russia? And for what? Nay!

It is simple! It's because they knew that Russian weapons are made to work, and work they do! And this has even become more of a truism following the Russian intervention in Syria. The sale of Russian weapons have since grown remarkably across the globe, to the extent that traditional allies of NATO and the US can't help but grab some for themselves.

Welcome to the reality of REALPOLITICS where the facts speaks for themselves.

So take a seat comrade Zoharariel, Nairaminted etc al. Moscow is on the right track.

.@netanyahu: "Iran is the foremost terrorist state of our time. It hangs gays, jails journalists, subjugates women, & foments terrorism."

Israel's obsession with Iran is understandable, but that description only fit one state--Satan Arabia.

Celebrities › Re: Akpororo Builds A New House. AY Congratulates Him (Photos) by Appleyard(m): 12:13am On Oct 09, 2017

Yoruba comedians are naturally always very dry. Take this akpororo for example, I've paid for his shows several times but I'm always only treated to noise and shouts which are typical of yoruba thugs. This cruelty is far opposite of our beloved sons from Biafra, Bright Okpocha, Bovi and so many more. When it comes to comedy in Nigeria and Africa, we the people of Biafra take the lead.

His mother is yoruba and his father delta. so he has yoruba blood. Don't say what u don't know. Infact he lived all his life in yoruba land.

For your information, Bovi is not from so-called Biafra. He is from Warri and Apkpororo is not from Yoruba, he is from Edo.. So get your facts straights, man.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Russia Slowly But Surely Putting An End To The American Empire? by Appleyard(m): 11:07pm On Sep 07, 2017

Adminisher:
Unfortunately, Russia is a very weak and small country dominated by only one man. Putin is actually the greatest weakness of Russia. India, China, EU and the US are going to be the poles going forward.

Russia Small? Do you know how much bigger is Russia than the US? How is it a small country? Russia is very weak? Even the zombies in Langely will agree that this is a very ignorant and disappointing statement. But you can be forgiven....especially if you don't understand what constitute "weakness" and strength in geopolitics.

The countries that you mentioned--China, India, and even the EU as a bloc depends on Russia in certain areas...I really do hope you understand how strength and weakness are defined in geopolitics....

Goodluck....bro....
