Abbott v Putin

[Robbo]

Well done Tony, that'll learn him.

[Swoop]

I take it that that's that before they can empty their entire inventory onto designated Australian cities.

To whom are you referring?
The F-18's bombing Australian cities?
The Vodkalander's bombing Australian cities?

None of the above.
MisterD mentioned that F/A-18's would make mincemeat out of the ships. I am inclined to agree. Was just wondering if the Russians could empty one of the arms bearing ships before they were turned to mincemeat.

[tri boy]

Abbot would have the reach, and probably fitter.
But if Putin got inside, Tonys ribs would be hammered.
Bring it on ladies

[husaberg]

As an aside, because I was curious,rather than worried about anything other the chest puffing occurring, it seems the FA 18's Harpoons outrange the Russian air to air missiles........
still rather have first roll of the dice with Putins girlfriend rather than Abbots wife..........

[FJRider]

i vote jesus.

God will decide ... and God was NOT born in the U.S.A. ...

God will decide ... and God was NOT born in the U.S.A. ...

Is he an American citizen though, or is that just the question John Key will not answer.
Odd that he would answer the are you a shape shifting alien one, though........
I wonder if he would rather be a shape shifting alien than be a US citzen

But would John Key invite him (or her) around to his place .. ??

True! ... I was born in Palmerston North.

The State Department acknowledged that the crew of the destroyer USS Donald Cook has been gravely demoralized ever since their vessel was flown over in the Black Sea by a Russian Sukhoi-24 (Su-24) fighter jet which carried neither bombs nor missiles but only an electronic warfare device.

The USS Donald Cook (DDG-75) is a 4th generation guided missile destroyer whose key weapons are Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of up to 2,500 kilometers, and capable of carrying nuclear explosives. This ship carries 56 Tomahawk missiles in standard mode, and 96 missiles in attack mode.

The US destroyer is equipped with the most recent Aegis Combat System. It is an integrated naval weapons systems which can link together the missile defense systems of all vessels embedded within the same network, so as to ensure the detection, tracking and destruction of hundreds of targets at the same time. In addition, the USS Donald Cook is equipped with 4 large radars, whose power is comparable to that of several stations. For protection, it carries more than fifty anti-aircraft missiles of various types.

Meanwhile, the Russian Su-24 that buzzed the USS Donald Cook carried neither bombs nor missiles but only a basket mounted under the fuselage, which, according to the Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta [2], contained a Russian electronic warfare device called Khibiny.

As the Russian jet approached the US vessel, the electronic device disabled all radars, control circuits, systems, information transmission, etc. on board the US destroyer. In other words, the all-powerful Aegis system, now hooked up - or about to be - with the defense systems installed on NATO’s most modern ships was shut down, as turning off the TV set with the remote control.

The Russian Su-24 then simulated a missile attack against the USS Donald Cook, which was left literally deaf and blind. As if carrying out a training exercise, the Russian aircraft - unarmed - repeated the same maneuver 12 times before flying away.

After that, the 4th generation destroyer immediately set sail towards a port in Romania.

Since that incident, which the Atlanticist media have carefully covered up despite the widespread reactions sparked among defense industry experts, no US ship has ever approached Russian territorial waters again.

According to some specialized media, 27 sailors from the USS Donald Cook requested to be relieved from active service.

Vladimir Balybine - director of the research center on electronic warfare and the evaluation of so-called "visibility reduction" techniques attached to the Russian Air Force Academy - made the following comment:


"The more a radio-electronic system is complex, the easier it is to disable it through the use of electronic warfare."

reminds me of the analolgy with the nasa pen, millions of dollars to develop to work at any angle in zero gravity... Russians laughed unimpressed and suggest why not use a pencil like we do.
Plus the mirth that was poured on the mig25 hydraulics until it was figured out it would still operate after an emf attack

[oldrider]

Makes one wonder why the USA is still so determined to start a war with Russia then!

BRICS banking is probably the real threat! (Brazil Russia India China South Africa) :http://in.rbth.com/world/2014/11/14/...mit_39743.html

The Russian claim that they have sent their ships so far south as an exercise in anticipation of future climate change research in Antarctica cracked me up in light of Tony Abbott's climate change stance. I thought the Ruskies had no sense of humour.
