@lidsky link me some info on the S-400F I can't find much on it. I am more interested in it's ship based fire control radar.

funding for the U.S. Navy railgun project was pulled earlier this year. As well as the Navy free electron laser project. Don't look for them coming back till another president and secdef are in place.

The most recent software upgrade PDB-6 gives PAC-3 the ability to hit low flying targets such as cruise missiles.

Get caught with a bible in Iran and you will face police questioning and confiscation of the bible. Get caught with 2 bibles or more and you will face prison time. As well as intense physical interrogation trying to get you to give the names of people in your church. And any organizations that...

And yet they are currently doing just that. and it isn't just the US but Canada as well which has huge oil finds.

actually I had not heard of it which is why I asked. In fact there is hardly no information avialable for it. But you are dead wrong still in saying the S400 has no equal. The SM-6 which is replacing the SM-2 is it's equal. And if the F version is using a similar targeting radar as it's cousin...

Well let's see, your main argument seems to be that the US had no missile programs before the end of WWII. And then used German scientists to advance our rocket program. You also tried to say that many of those scientists ran slave labor camps ("Many of them were running concentration camps...

your obsessed with Nazis both Russian and Americans used German scientists after the war. And do you think Iran employs just Iranian scientists? no, one problem Russia has had in thier high tech industry is losing thier star talent to other countries where they make a lot more money. Iran being...

"S-400 is designed to be highly mobile and modular capable of being deployed in minutes any where on land and sea." Please show me this sea version of the S400 :lol: "SM-3/6 are bulky, low grade defense system basically used at sea with almost no to limited capability against non-ballistic...

Lol, why do you have your underwear all in a bundle? It's a proven fact the U.S. was experimenting with rockets before any captured Nazi scientists were on the scene. And after the war the U.S. did take advantage of German expertise. The Russians did the same thing and that is a historical fact...

Let me put it to you this way. Iran says it's neighbors have nothing to fear from it. yet some here would want a leader that is like Cyrus. who's main job in life was to constantly expand his empire by invading his neighbors. He lived by the sword and died by the sword. His main acomplishemnt in...

So Iran would like an empire the = of Cyrus? sounds like Saddam who fancied himself the next Nebuchadnezzar and Saladin. Cyrus was a conquer is that really what Iran aspires to. Conquering it's neighbors with its islamic revolution?

thats not true! only one scientist Arthur L. Rudolph is known to have been involved with the decision to use slave labor camps. the vast majority of the rocket scientists though were not harcore Nazis.

Actually the U.S. had a Ballistic missile program prior to the end of WWII. The WAC Corporal missile entered service in 1944. It just was never used in the war. the corporal missile line would later become the first missiles designed to carry a nuke warhead. as far as acomplishments after the...

More to the Germans, German scientists were part of the nazi party mainly becuase it was required of them. not becuase they believed in it's ideology.

Give credit to where it's due. Iran owes thier ballistic missile technology to the Chinese and North Koreans.

Thats becuase the DDG-1000 is meant to be more offensive in nature.

France I believe wants to build something similar but all they have is a concept. The first DDG-1000 is already under consruction and due to leave the yard in 2 years.

they don't say but since the propulsion is electric. I would assume they are comparing it to diesel/electric sub.

what I find interesting is they are quieter then a sub.
