BritishNaija:
They are working, Russia Su jets now avoid to fly in, many was knocked out past weeks.

You mind pasting the new link where Russian keys are down using the Ukrainian air defense systems ?
The old ones they have are stationed in Kyiv and obviously not S-300s.
They are waiting for Slovekia to send s300 US promised.

BritishNaija:
They have S-200 and 300 stationed on trucks, No one is talking about stingers here. Why do you think russia now avoid to fly in their jets Into Ukraine like before? They got knocked out from the sky,Reason they now prefer to use ballastic missiles instead.

Like I said, they are either destroyed or not working.
1. Russia is still operating its drones
2. Russia isn’t used the Iskander ballistic yet … infact every military analyst was waiting to see its capability but they haven’t used it instead it’s been using cruise missiles and recently the hypersonic missile that’s air launched.

S200 and 300 should be able to down those cruise missiles, even ballistic ones, and the jet that’s launching that hypersonic missile.

Like is said, it’s either been destroyed or they are not working against the Russians.

All downed Russian helicopters and aircrafts are credited to stingers and other heat seeking shoulder launched missiles. No be me talk am, it’s in both Western and Ukrainian news. Nobody ever talked about Ukrainian air defense downing any jets or missiles.

BritishNaija:
They have Air defence, But obviously need more.

Obviously they are not working or destroyed. So far, they’ve been only able to stop the Russian air advances using the stingers the US and Allie’s provided.

BritishNaija:
If Russia have not decleared War in ukraine, what are they doing then in ukraine?

It does not matter if TU-160 is faster than f-16 or not, it can never outrun Anti Aircraft missiles, It will be shotdown if they try to fly it over Ukraine which still have Air Defence system.

Also the Ukraine military doesn’t have a formidable air defense systems, either non existent or destroyed … that’s why the US is trying to get them an S300 defense system to use which I doubt would work against the Russian jets but I’m interested to learn.

baralatie:
All this war mongers on this thread sef

No lies, the way they are happy to post about people getting killed is so annoying.

BritishNaija:

It does not matter if TU-160 is faster than f-16 or not, it can never outrun Anti Aircraft missiles, It will be shotdown if they try to fly it over Ukraine which still have Air Defence system.

A TU is a long range bomber, hence it flies at high altitudes that the stinger and other light heat seeking, shoulder launched missiles can reach.

Those are made to down low flying aircrafts. It will require a proper air defense system to reach the altitude of a long range bomber and that’s why Ukraine is begging for a no fly zone.

seunny4lif:
Russia has not declare war on Ukraine.
Go and check
TU-160 faster than F16, if you don’t know.

Baba you’re wrong. TU and F jets are different types of aircraft. One is a long range bomber, the other is a fighters jet.

Can we please stop shouting TU bomber here? It’s so unnecessary.

I’m low key praying that Ukraine leader and Russians seal a deal quick and end this war, it’s tiring to read news about dead people everyday sheesh

Kelvin3476:
SO RUSSIAN LAND TROOPS HAF FINISHED ? SO THEY ARE NOW USING NUKES ... HAHAHA

That’s still a conventional weapon not nuke.

ken6488:
It is directly connected USA doing a proxy war

Not directly connected. No US military installments were invaded or bombs by the Russians. US don’t even need to help Ukraine, but it choose to.

That money they sending to suppose Ukraine could be used to build shelters for homeless across the country, can be used to fix the social security that’s projected to be broken, can used to give tax credit and reduce its burden on its citizen but instead it choose to help Ukraine. Yet some people are expecting the US to help declare no fly zone or put soldiers on the ground ? Smh

Kingofdsouth:
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

I stop minding these kids, they think everything is gra gra

danngnews:
Something that caused many problems like sinking both merchant, navy ships and submarines, cannot be classified as weapon?

You refuse to provide your YouTube link, you refuse to simply Google your “u-bolt”

There’s no such thing as U-bolt, you’ve not even agreed to that.

And a submarine is not a weapon system, it is an infrastructural system to project capability and can carry weapons.

Im tired of you displaying your ignorance here while being stubborn to learn again.

Techguy96:
US through billionaire's like Elon musk is planning to send man to Mars but u think Russia is superior, are u high.

Space X just made a reusable rocket that returns to it's launch pad after takeoff. I don't think Russia will be able to build such rocket 20 yrs from now.

Watch the video below and see US rocket, show me any Russia rocket that can return to it's launch pad after takeoff.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX1Y2JMK6g8

Russia/USSR has always been the master of space tech, rockets that’s a fact. This is partially because the US is not looking to invest money in developing those rockets from scratch and it’s not going to be cheaper than the Russian space rockets.
Private businesses in the US have started to build their own thing and the government can use their services instead of investing in the development.

If Elon’s full stack of his rocket works as intended then that will be the end of Russian rockets superiority.
So far it has had successful launches and looking to test with the full stack soon, NASA is banking on it for the Aramis program to Mars.

danngnews:
U - Bolt was not a weapon? Bro go watch documentaries on YouTube.

Stop disgracing yourself jor.
There’s no such thing as U-bolt … there’s Uboat which was the small submarines the German developed (officially called the U-40 submarines) that caused many problems for their enemies in the sea.
Read your history bro, or post the YouTube history here.

Igbofam:
There are basically 3 stages to an ICBM velocity. It is vulnerable from stage 1 to 2 which is when it basically shoots off outside the Earth's atmosphere before now locking on to it's target for stage 3.

Between stage 1 and 2 it can be shot down and the below demonstrates that.

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

You probably didn’t read the article you pasted or you don’t understand it.

The topic is about hypersonic missiles but your article is talking about ICBMs. The difference is like day and night.

danngnews:
Good point, Hitler too though he has ubolt and we know how he ended.

Uboat was not a weapon, it’s a mini submarine. Your best example was the Hitlers rockets, cos the Germans were the first to build one then.

Aboks:
With out nukes russia cant challenge nigeria

That’s a conversational weapon not nuclear. I go like to know your supplier though

joyandfaith:
Russia influence makes Ukraine to be poor.
West or china or Israel will rebuild Ukraine. Russia wouldn't rebuild Ukraine because it has to struggle to rebuild sanctioned economy .
Economic sanctions destroyed USSR. All the former SU Republic are still poor economically thanks to overbearing influence of Russia.

How’s Russia keeping them poor ?

Nukilia:
Zelensky must be caught alive and flogged in the streets to serve as deterrent to others who would love to invite unfriendly nations to the territory of Russia

He ruined his country out of ego. He knew he cannot withstand the Russians, and should have know that NATO won’t directly get involved. He should have been smart like Finland, Sweden and Switzerland. They don’t align, they make peace with everybody.

Vicotex2:
Russia is using its gas and oil to squeeze the balls of Europe.
If that isn't an economic advantage, then I no know where you for graduate

True that, plus their science and technology is top notch. No doubt!

hayzed19:
Russia is no longer a world power ke.Are you kidding right now.
Ukraine is the second-largest country in Europe in terms of land area and has one of the largest militaries in the continent. So Russia can't easily override them.
The casualties aren't that high since the conflict is between the Slavs and inside Europe
I'm sure that won't be the case if the war is fought against a country in Africa or the Middle East.

It’s actually the largest country in Europe.

alcuin:
Yes, Russian military is weak.

But let NATO declare a no-fly zone.

We want to check something

Una go see wonder.

NATO won’t cos they know the Russians are not weak. Don’t mind these kids.

The moment NATO sees an opening, an opportunity to expose Russians weakness that will be the day they’d take over its nuke.
That being said; there’s only one true super power in our current world which is the US of A.

China is growing to be one, Russia is growing back to be one and fit back in the shoes of the USSR.

Hanks0000:
Russia has never been a superpower.
USSr was but not Russia..

What kind of a superpower has no economic influence, advance science and technology, etc.

Well technically you’re right, USSR was the super power but then Russia inherited that status from the USSR hence why NATO keep expanding to contain it.

Yes they do have economic influence Atleast in Europe. If Russia sneeze Europe will go dark, also… advanced science and technology? Russia scientist are among the best on the world.

Vicotex2:
Why is the so called NATO scared of engaging Russia?
An alliance of 30 nations band together to look formidable in front of a single nation Russia.
Isn't that a sign of NATO being scared?

How’s that being scared ? Why cause an unnecessary war that could potentially assure mutual destruction of the planet?

Russia has its own alliance too FYI.
Russia and NATO avoiding to face each other is essentially saving the world from nuclear holocaust. NATO formation is a major deterrent, not formed to go to war over little stuff

joyandfaith:
Germany was in ruin after ww2. Germany of today is more developed than your darling Russia. In monetary term, Russia lost is significantly more than Ukraine. Those villages, towns and cities destroyed by RA will be rebuilt. After 10 years, Ukraine will be fine but relationship with Russia can never be the same.

You’re talking in the rubbish.

Ukraine before this war was among the poorest countries in Europe and too most corrupt country in Europe. Go check headlines about Ukraine from western medias, infact that western media has been talking about Nazis taking over Ukraine for a while.

So where will the money come from ?
The west won’t be able to do much anymore cos it will be under Russian control, hence Russian contractors will help with the rebuilding.

Germany you used as a reference; they had stolen enough from countries they had conquered before the war ended, Germany low key developed itself with their loot, infact if they weren’t conquered eventually maybe it would be greater than it is right now. Germany does not even want any war again on its soil, not from Russia nor from anybody.

Everyday we pray for no war, war is never an option.

posty56:
sad, Ukraine will fall to Russia as much as i hate to admit it. respect yaself why you tiff first to comment from me

The unfortunate reality

SeeThisLoser:
Then Russia must be DUMB DUMBER AND DUMBEST.

You are telling me that Russia is not using their full power and have lost at least 10,000 soldiers since the 'special military operation' commenced ? Which DUMB Army commander or leader will sacrifice thousands of their troops and 1/4 of their equipment to avoid using FULL FORCE ?

You people are just little kids.

So they deployed 10,000 troops so far and lost at least 10,000 already ?

God bless putin God bless mother Russia

True but there’s no justification for that Ukraine invasion.
1. nato won’t accept Ukraine again cos of its break away regions
2. Russia already annexed Crimea, Luhansk and Donesk region… Ukraine can’t do shit anyway, so no reason to invade their country.
3. If they want their president out, there are other ways to take out the president without causing civilian destructions.

I can go on and on, I’m not supporting any side. Just trying to be objective.

reccy:
Is there anything israel has that Iran doesn't have?

To think Iran is not having nuclear weapon yet is not just wrong but a delusion

Iran does not have the capacity at this moment to make a weapon grade nuclear weapon themselves, unless maybe unless they bought from NK or Pakistan.

Yeah, Isreal has support of the West Iran doesn’t.
Isreal has nuclear weapon which is okay and not destabilizing the region but Iran would.

Oh, Saudi already considering having one too.

I’m not try trying to support anybody, I’m ULTIMATELY against NUCLEAR WEAPONS of any form. My point is nobody should have it in the first place, not Isreal not Iran not Saudi. But they allowing one person to have it and making a scape goat out of others is destabilizing on its own. The Middle East is destabilized today mostly cos of that.

orohbiro:
So Russians is just 11 million and Nigerian is over 200million and we scared of Russians na wa o

Unless you’re on drugs, their population is over 100 million

God1000:
General Kenneth Mckenzie, the head of US central command has voiced concerns about Iran's ballistic missiles program, claiming it has shown remarkable growth and efficiency, He went on to claim Tehran has over 3,000 missiles at its disposal, some of which are nuclear warheads capable.
Although General McKenzie doesn't think any of the missiles could reach Europe, he fears many were in the range of Israel, and that the program was the greatest threat to the regional security.

Nobody’s talking about the Isreali nuclear weapons, but they are worried about ballistic missiles reaching Isreal. Oga o

BSsniffer:
Proforce will be the Lockheed Martin of Nigeria, but if i where to meet him I'd advice him to also have a branch in benin republic just in case.

France won’t allow it, that will be a direct competition with French defense companies

Saudi Arabia is currently negotiating with China
Source, ajeezera

Saudi cannot, Saudi is just trying to bargain to get US support with the Houthis. No be same Saudi? They dare not lol

They are on the top 5 of countries with high military budget, the Us trained them, but they still want the US to fight their war for them. They are just looking for war to bring US to negotiation table.
