us and russia

[naprasa]

yes i agree with russians, russians build planes in a atmosphere where they can survive in wars, so modern migs, and sukhoi, and antanovs are better than american f-16,15,22,hornet etc, there is no alternative in space technology after russia, if russian scientists are provided with sufficient funds they will show what they r in air race, kicking all nations except freindly nations.this is the air dominance of russia.

yes i agree with russians, migs and sukhois are superior than american planes,american planes are just show peices,they are not tough ones,but where as russians are practical ones.

ok why did u all stop replying and sh*t. heres the new question. who are the top 5 most powerful nations in the world. heres the official list (my list) USA, Russia, China, Israel, Britian.

ok as much as i love my country i dont agree with the above statement.

usa i would agree with even though i dont want to but they just are and not relizing it is just foolish. russia as much as i would love to see it as number one or even 5 i dont think in our current status we can keep up with the top countries.. isaral no not at all the ONLY reason there anything at all is because of consitant us intervention 1. all the money america gives to them 2. all the tech they give to them 3. and all the heat they put on palistain. and china no the only reason they seem powerfull is because of the population unless you can give me a better response to why. i mean come on if you want to base things like that then north korea is the 5 stongest...kidding but n. korea has the 5th largest military in the world. and britian is right next to america because americans would never let britian fall

So, what kind of funky mushrooms lead you to that conclusion? Do you major in "fantasy fiction"? Mig and Sukhoi aircraft are pretty fine, but did you notice that during the past 20 years or so the American "showpieces" have dominated global airspace in areas of conflict?

Gee, I wonder what planes they came up aqgainst diring those years? Have another bong hit.

To export, old, poorly maintained, piloted by I don't know whom, versions of russian planes.
BTW Almost always in minority.

Even pound for pound, the US is superior militarily. Our soldiers are the best trained fighting force in the world because we spend millions researching the best training methods and review them systematically.

Untrue- US soldiers are NOT the best trained. All training is practically similar for all nations except maybe for specops. US is better simply because the nation has money (well, if put up against China, US would probably loose a conventional war). If I follow your logic about training, in the SU troops were on above US conventional military troops because service was mandatory and you learned how to shoot an AK in middle school. I'll bet you $100 my mom would beat many regular US troops in sharp-shooting competitions because she recieved arms training back in school (she shoots better than my dad or I- but we go shooting rarely). But the fact of the matter is, little does it matter how "well trained" your conventional army is, it only matters how much money you have- isn't it always interesting to find that rich nations do better than any others in sports, military, space, etc. The SU was rich once and benefitted, and the US is rich and benefits. Have money, everything else will fall into place.

Agree with Kalinin.
And Voyager, russians invented the light bulb.
