and a black man from Nigeria sitting in his hut believed that what New York Times published for the whole world to read is the true nature of US military weapon status?


I won't say much.


You African and Middle East Muslims will cheer Russia to doom out of hatred for US tacit support for Israel. Funny enough, Russia you Muslims are busy cheering is another strong ally of Israel, and Russia also have a sizeable number of Jews as citizens, so the joke is on you Muslim terrorists.



You Muslims should reduce the time you spend plotting terror and hitting your foreheads on the floor and head to research centers and devote more time to science and technology researches so your Muslim countries can grow scientifically and technologically and not rely on just mineral resources Western world (Christians) help you guys to discover, explore and still purchase.

Japan thought this way until Hiroshima and Nagasaki got hit with atomic bombs. Of all the countries of the world, the United States is the only country that does not announce its military testings weapons and achievements and for a good reason.

Putin recently accused the United States of being in control of biological weapons.

Everything Russia prides itself in today, the United States achieved a decade ago.

"Who told you the Americans don't announce the testing of their weapons? you think the invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya etc isn't an avenue to do the testing of weapons just as Russia is doing same with Ukraine by putting to use her Hypersonic Missile...

Remember, America was furious when Russia tested her biological weapon in Syria...Truth is, America knows how advanced the Russians are when it comes to military hardware, reason they are threading with caution... period

Don't forget the Russians have the largest stockpile of Nuclear weapons in the world with America coming second...same Nuclear weapon used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki". Village People Spokesperson.

The US is not afraid of Russia and their nuke threat. Why would they when they have their own Nukes? They are more focused on averting a bigger spill out to the rest of the world. It's not particularly about the US but about the other allies who would get involved. If you ever felt the US was afraid of Russia then your weed source is legit

You are the one who needs to educate yourself. Educate yourself with the below. The United States is always a step ahead.

The American Ground-Based Midcourse Defense System (GMD), formerly known as National Missile Defense (NMD), was first tested in 1997 and had its first successful intercept test in 1999. Instead of using an explosive charge, it launches a hit-to-kill kinetic projectile to intercept an ICBM.

The current GMD system is intended to shield the United States mainland against a limited nuclear attack by a rogue state such as North Korea. GMD does not have the ability to protect against an all-out nuclear attack from Russia, as there are 44 ground-based interceptors deployed in 2019 against any crossing projectiles headed toward the homeland.

(This interceptor count does not include the THAAD, or Aegis, or Patriot defenses against directly incoming projectiles.)
The Aegis ballistic missile defense-equipped SM-3 Block II-A missile demonstrated it can shoot down an ICBM target on 16 Nov 2020.


In November 2020, the US launched a surrogate ICBM from Kwajalein Atoll toward Hawaii in the general direction of the continental US, which triggered a satellite warning to a Colorado Air Force base. In response, USS John Finn launched a missile which destroyed the surrogate ICBM, while still outside the atmosphere.

There is a reason why USA tries to always be close to the borders of the countries they view as threats and that is to make for an easy ICBM interception while it is still outside the atmosphere. They have the tools and they are very effective
did you even read what you posted? Current ICBM carry at least 10 warheads with multiple decoys. If read and comprehend what you copied and pasted here you'd see that they even admitted that they can't defend against a conventional ICBM not to of one with multiple decoys that would be used in an all out attack

Your very funny.
USA and NATO are doing their best in order not to allow escalation of the invasion. they would rather let Ukraine burn down than instigating wwwIII which might cost 100 million plus life. you think if wwIII Starts you and I will survive? only the masses will surfer it while those in power will do their best to survive.. so the west knows what they are doing and have done it. USA doesn't even want to send their major sophisticated weapons because they are likely to fall into the wrong hand, which would be stolen by Russia, analyzed, and reproduced. so stop commenting on what you have zero clue on for good.

There is nothing i do not know about that. First, It will be difficult to beat Carrier Group layers of defence, US are very good in making their best defence line classified.
As for russia, I do not buy their self hype, they are not straightforward and always coverup their flaws instead to improve on it.
Yes, it's extremely difficult to beat the several layers of protection for an aircraft carrier, but that's where an incredibly fast projectile is needed; to score a direct hit or a close-enough hit on the carrier. The missile doesn't need to engage the other vessels in the group. A hypersonic missile can be designed to carry several warheads. If you hit the missile at a distance, several warheads will also get to you.

I used to believe the US so much until I started reading about other countries, that's when I found out that the US hypes their capabilities much more so they can sell their weapons. Selling weapons is the greatest source of wealth to the US, that's one reason why they start insurrections and wars around the world.
Go and read about how the Russian S400 systems performed in Syria, but look for an independent news, not all these ones that spew western propaganda. The US will always downplay the effectiveness of the Russian systems because if people start buying from the Russians, who will buy from the US? It's actually simple economics.
As much as the US weapons are shiny and fine, the Russian ones are built for ruggedity and to be cost effective. Ever wondered why the AK-47 is the most-used assault rifle worldwide, and not the American M4? That's because even when dirty, dusty, soaked in water...the AK-47 will still fire. Unfortunately, that's also the reason it's the weapon of choice to terrorists worldwide

lolz...funny you. The article you quoted says the system just got a go-ahead to create a prototype, which means the system is still in the design stage. It takes years to go from design to prototype to testing to production, and the crazy thing is that as you're evolving, your enemy is evolving too.
It's one thing to track a missile. Even conventional radar systems might be able to track a hypersonic missile. Stopping it is an entirely different ball game

Current radar systems can only detect it at take off but once it hits beyond the Earth's atmosphere they go blind. This is why the US now shifted to tracking from space.

System has already been tested and is a certified answer to the much acclaimed hypersonic missile

Russia unleashes 'unstoppable' nuclear-capable hypersonic missile 'destroying Ukraine weapons depot'

Video captures the dramatic moment a Russian hypersonic missile destroys an ammunition depot in the west of Ukraine. The 'Kinzhal' - or Dagger weapon is "unstoppable" by current Western weapons. The video reportedly filmed from a military drone shows the moment a large Ukrainian ammunition depot in Ivano-Frankivsk was hit by a deadly Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missile. Russia's defense ministry said: “The Kinzhal aviation missile system with hypersonic aeroballistic missiles destroyed a large underground warehouse containing missiles and aviation ammunition in the village of Deliatyn in the Ivano-Frankivsk region."

All you saying the usa are afraid of Russia, I don’t really understand your problem. First of all, the war is not directly connected to them, and they can even decide not to give aids to Ukraine. But at least they are helping. So you want the US to abandon their normal life and plunge the whole world into a world war. That would be foolish to wish for that because even us in Africa will be gravely abandon. Oga them, make una let me live to achieve my many dreams oo

Oga the US already has an answer to your glorified Hypersonic missiles.

They would track them from space and hand off coordinates to ground forces who would easily intercept them using ICBMs

The technology has already been deployed. Do you think the US are dumb?

These interceptors always sound sweet in theory, but always fail when put to the test.

From the article you linked, note that up to December last year, they only had designs. And were just given the go-ahead to produce prototypes only 3 months ago.

Another ignoramus wandering the virtual space with a bag full of lies and falsehood! The US DEFENSE spending annually is more than that of Russia, China and NATO combined! The humongous allocation is for what? Frivolities and avenue for embezzlement by greedy generals? Like you have in your homeland Nigeria! You blindly excoriate western journalism as either junk or propaganda but readily rely on Sputnik or Russia Today(RT) for credible news? The double standard is not half as nauseating as the objective fact that the Russian society is lacking of strengthened and independent institutions that guarantee the fundamentals of ideal journalism like the freedom and independence of the press, freedom and access to public information, enforcement of rights like freedom of speech, which are all ideals readily obvious and present in Western democracies! I wonder how countries like China and Russia where the press or media is an appendage of the government or an extension of government architecture primarily functioning as a conduit of propaganda has become the bellwether of True Journalism!

The innovation of the US military is unrivaled and unequalled around the world and even superpowers like China still have to rely on intellectual espionage or IP theft of American Technology as a template for their own innovation! Why does Russia and China engage as state actors in acts of cyber warfare constantly against America if they are self sufficient with their technological prowess! Why constantly attempt to steal what you already own? Hypersonic weapons you claim America is still researching when unmanned drones are already being fitted with latest AI technology! Lol, Raytheon, Lockheed Martins and the likes are not just leaders in Military technology on paper! Read more and enlighten your ignorance, learn objectivity and an accommodation of divergent views avoid burying yourself in a debris of falsehood

Spying on your enemies doesn't mean they are stronger than you. It simply means you want to know their strengths so that u can be ahead of them.

Any country like USA who tells you that they are experimenting simply means they already have it in use. US never reveals their full strength to the world which is why Russia and China pay spies heavily for any updated information about the US military might.
