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

The Russian Avangard Missile system cannot be intercepted
It is too fast.

Maybe later in the future, but now, no!

That information is everywhere.

Don't be afraid of what you know, in this instance the hypersonic missile. I can tell you the US military engineers are working to build interceptors for it. All destructive military weapons started this way and eventually interceptors were built.

However, be afraid of military capabilities that you don't know, you haven't seen, which existence had not dropped into your mind. This is the key and I can tell you these countries have the "unknown" in their arsenal. Any country that has the greater "unknowns" win the war. Fear the US, their military budgets can create many undisclosed military "unknowns".


In military doctrine, those 'unknowns' are called EOS (Elements of Surprise). The more EOS one has, the more he is likely to win a war with minimal loss and faster!!!

Besides, Russian soldiers are still selecting targets, they've not gone full scale brutal!

Most U.S. hypersonic weapons are still in the development or testing phase, but at least one system is expected to reach early operational capability this year. U.S. hypersonic weapons are armed with conventional warheads.

Let me reply the bold first. You make me laugh, First of all, The M4 beats Ak47 both in accuracy and close range fighting and also recoil.

You asked Why Ak47 is more used worldwide and not M4; You forget or don't know that US do not allow their weapons to be sold to just any buyer, while anyone can easily purchase Russian weapons, to get American weapon sold to you, it has to pass through approval that is very difficult to pass through.

If you present russian made weapon side by side with american made for a pick , i don't see anyone picking that of russia.

Anything about military tech, russia is far behind US.
Now Let me post side by side comparison between Ak47 and M4 for your satisfaction.

Also mention when AK 47 and M4 was produced. AK 47 was in 1940s, M4 was in 1980s, that’s difference of 40 it’s a shame on US. Please I will like to know what US was using in 40s prior to M4

And the image you sent wasn’t complete, you deliberately cropped the image to suit your narrative.
AK is better in terms of damage, armor penetration and price despite being 40yrs late.
And the nuclear weapon US is boosting off was created by hitler brother, if not he travelled bcuz of the war, us wouldn’t have been able to create nuclear weapon till date. You guys are just hyping US, common hypersonic missile china, ru are flexin us isn’t able to create one and you’re saying Ru is behind us in tech. Russia is no1 in space rocket, has the best air defense system, never underestimate Russia.

The United States of America may be lagging behind nations like Russia and China in fielding hypersonic missiles, but that’s not necessarily the same as being behind in the hypersonic arms race.

While the idea of this modern arms race has been framed in the minds of many as a rush to develop and field hypersonic weapons, the truth is, hurrying to get them into service wouldn’t provide the U.S. with much in the way of real military capability.



Instead, America has taken a different approach to hypersonic missiles, opting to focus on fielding new and advanced capabilities rather than trying to beat the opposition to putting these weapons into service.

In other words, the hypersonic arms race we’re living amid today is more like a race to the starting line of a more important competition, and the U.S. is much more focused on winning the next sprint than this one.
Reminds me how Russia was the first to announce covid vaccine.

Start blabbing, your army that failed to quell an insurgency for years and pure bandits killing your troops,negotiating with terrorists. Go and read what Putin did with Chechen rebels and terrorists. You are comparing a military power with a country that imports virtually all it's military hardware. What can your army do, how much has your government spent on military research, even without nuclear weapons, Russia is not a match with Nigeria. It is like comparing the heavens to the ground. Let me tell you don't know much about these country called Russia, if you know about Russian history, you won't be blabbing they way you are.

Nah, since the coup in 2014, nato have been trying any means possible to let Ukraine join the treaty but Putin been beating them in their game. First he took crimea because Ukraine wanted to join nato, now zelensky since he took power has been voicing out for NATO membership, violating the Minsk agreement, no worries after this special operation, Ukraine would be a landlock country

My brother, NATO is not afraid, Ukraine is not a member of NATO, but they show solidarity with Ukraine, because they see the invasion as agression. If it were single countries invading each other in Europe, NATO would have enforced a no fly zone like what they did against Serbia in Kosovo, but with Russia it is a different ball game, the consequences will be catastrophic, WW3 loading.

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

"Clearly, you love America and would do anything for her but sadly America is helpless here...Since the United States of America has so much Strength and Military capabilities as you mentioned up there...

Why can't they show their military might by attacking Russia for invading Ukraine? Why? Are they so powerless? The Ukrainians have been crying for help but your "Almighty America' can't face Russia in a battle to save the poor Ukrainians...what a pity?

America can't do shit when it comes to Mother Russia". Village People Spokesperson

The image i sent was no problem and i posted What i could for moment.

The bold question hold no water. You asked Reason Why Ak47 is Mostly used worldwide, Which i answered and now you are twisting the narrative.
M4 like i will say Always is a superior weapon to compare with Ak47. Accuracy matters a lot while handling riffles.


Nuclear weapon US is boosting of is created by hitler brother?; You are yet to come out from the riffle blunder and want to divert to Nuclear weapon, hahahahaha.

Did you just say that Russia is the best in space rocket? Man you are displaying a lot of jokes here. Between Russia and US who have Sent man to the moon? Don't bring the story of Russia sending a monkey please,(Just in case that is your next line of defence)

Russia we all know is hyping itself like saying they have this, they have that, at the end of the day, we can see that in ukraine, all was fellacy.

US in the other hand do not hype itself, instead they keep things classified.

Russia built a commercial aircraft and yet could not find foreign buyers, ask youself why.

Remove Nuclear weapon from Russia, i can tell you Turkey can stand to Fight them.

Another OP spewing nonsense here. only a naive being will believe your assertion.

Without USA's rescue in the 2nd world war, Russia will be dead and they will still be suffering from Hitlers invasion to date.

With what's happening in Ukraine, its obvious Russia only have numbers and not military strength.

USA have the most sophisticated modern weapon since inception, that's why no country dares them, not even your over hyped Russia.. If No fly zone is established in Ukraine, it will be only US that will carry out the operation by shooting down any fighter jet in air.. who else have such power?

What Russia can only burst of nukes, ask yourself how many NATO country can they destroy before USA retaliates, they will be buried.. and Russia will be forgotten. Usa are playing so cool and doesn't want an escalation instigation from them..



Only USA budget on F-35 jet alone is *10 of Russia's entire defence system, which is most sophisticated weapon

'Just listen to yourself, If US is so powerful to face Russia then why are they scared of declaring a no fly zone over Ukraine to prevent Russia's constant bombardments? Oh I forget, the US can't do shit to Russia...this is how you know who the boss is...

Lol, u be correct clown if u believe what u wrote.

On the contrary, Russia are the one's with old weapons. US budget 700 billion dollars on military every year while Russia budget 60 billion dollars on military, but for some reason u think US weapons are old compared to Russia, u most be high on cheap weed.

US has not declared a no fly zone in Ukraine because they don't want a world war 3. World war 3 will be MAD for everyone, including you, this is what US is trying to prevent. Russia does not have a superior weapons to US, even Russia Satan 2 cannot destroy the whole of Texas along.
