2 Russian Bombers Land in Venezuela

[Cobra Jet 429]

To put it in very plain terms, a cold war is pretty much a huge pissing match...
"My rockets are bigger!"
"Well I've got subs that can deploy a nuke!"
"Yeah well we have XXX amount of fighter jets"
"Fine then, we've got XX,XXX amount of warheads!"
"We have sonar detection"
"That's fine, we have lidar"
and so on.
It's a war of manuevering and huffing and puffing.
While the danger of an attack seems elevated,
nothing usually happens. And children are told hiding
under thier desks is the safest plan of action...

We have PALIN!! Everything will be okay when she takes over.

this has nothing to do with us jackass

 

[drex]

Oh noeess were all going to dieee very soon, shucks.

Yep. Exactly the reason we don't need a Presidential candidate that can't even pick the correct VP running mate in the WH.

We will need to watch this very closely.

Russia is no biggie, we need to spend more time and military resources around middle east, bomb and rebuild a country or two, who cares about the weaksauce Russia, have you seen Iraq badassery latelly?:lol:

Sort of, but for different reasons. Putin is ex-KGB. He was the head of the KGB. He will do anything to get the Soviet Union back, and the one appeal that never fails to bring them together is the threat of war. The russians are the most sentimental people on Earth. Make them think they are under attack, and they willingly follow bad orders from inept officers and politicians to protect their homeland. So Putin can make us look like the bad guys, safe in the knowledge we probably won't ever invade Russia, and he brings the country back together.

I was surprised the Soviet Union did not reform after those terrorists killed all thpose kids in their school. The Russians will do anything to protect their kids.

It almost seems like we're in the beginning stages of a new cold war.... isn't this how our first one began?

TU-160s are sweet!

there are of similar design to the B-1B...only the TU-160 is about 30% larger. It a huge bitch!

and they would be an incredibly easy target for a F-22 Raptor to intercept and shoot down..

 

[jsd512]

LOL @ Riddla and Common - right on cue. Where has my logic failed O Great Ones? :??:

 

[Graves]

I'm surprised half their ships made it this far without catching fire or breaking down.

 

[svtcobrar2004]

getting closer toRED DAWN

excellent movie.

sorry but you need to detect it first. if the blackjack is anything like the b-1....the radar signature would be like the size of a bird. Elevation is classified and so is the speed.

b-1 is outfitted with some sick ElectronicCounterMeasures too. also classified.

good luck on bringing that bad boy down

the TU160 has a large RCS so detection shouldn't be an issue

I would much rather have Palin take over than the current Democratic VP choice. :thumbsup:

How can Obama say he's about change when he picks a lifelong career politician and Washington insider for a running mate! Talk about hypocritical! That's the topper of all toppers right there! :lol::lol::lol:

And when given the chance to vote for something .,., obama votes "present" instead of "yay" or "nay".,., hope he doesn't think that is an option if he wins in Nov :shrug: try that in a time of war oke:
