Hungarians and some yugoslavs have a percentage of turkish blood. East slavs (russians) are merely slavic. As of russians being a "mix" of mongols, genetical studies said "no" the amount of mongolic genes in russians was almost non-existant. That was only a myth. Other western ethnicities were...

No. "Russians" are slavs and they have nothing to do with turks or mongols, those latter are known as tatars. Slavs are "purer" europeans than english anglosaxons, for example. There's no ethnicity as "kazakhs" kazakhstan was never a nation. Most living there are russians or other asians.

Are you talking about the N1 rockets, wich the US bought from Russia 2 years ago? Those rocket engines had a thrust-to-weight ratio unmached in the history, and by the time the US bought them they were 50 years old, quite a gap... the US simply had nothing similar in performance. Search Taurus...

The idea is to retire nuclear weapons from Europe and Russia to move most of them beyond the Urals. Neither Europe or Russia are interested in tensions. The US cheated many times and Russia is very strict on that issue. Until the US compromises to withdraw all tactical weapons to inside their...

Russia's position is clear: no talk until the US agrees to retire all tactical nukes from Europe.

The ones in moscow and the Far East already have the missiles. Tests were completed and production started in 2010.

The "big" missiles were on testing, wich was completed and mass production started on autumn last year.

The S-400 was in service 3 years ago.

S-500 System The S-500 has a range of 600km and can engage simoultaneously 10 hypersonic targets at a speed higher than 7kms/s. It is to perform the function of a mobile anti-ICBM system like the deployed in Moscow, wich can move and protect the threated area.

Russia to revamp air-space defenses by 2020 - Air Force chief Russia will create a new generation of air and space defenses to counter any strikes against its territory by 2020 due to a potential foreign threat, the Air Force commander said on Tuesday. "By 2030...foreign countries...

I´m not saying AESA tech is worse, quite the contrary. But you are stating that any AESA radar is better, wich is not. There are many other factors. Many PESAs have better detection ranges and greater peak power, thus having higher mission performance, and the Irbis concretly, by it´s...

You missed my point. AESA technology is better than PESA, and has its advantages, but not all AESA radars are necessary better than PESA ones. The Irbis, being PESA offers higher performance as a radar than most AESAs in service (detection range, power,) and can perform the same functions, such...

Because a radar is AESA does not mean it´s better. The Irbis offers higher performance than the raptor´s AN-77 (range, power) and has the same 120º sterring, and terrain scanning while air to air, thought it is PESA. It´s also cheaper. Of course AESA has it´s advantages but it is not necessary...

Maybe, but the zhuk wad designed for the mig-35 and 29. Earlier ones needed modifications to fit in the sukhoi aircraft. But as a radar, the Irbis has better performance. The zhuk yet has to mature.

Funny how the Afghans have only AKs and control more territory than NATO.

Those 400kms are for bigger targets, fighters are around 200-300kms. The Irbis is a better radar overall (detection range, power) thought the zhuk has AESA advantages, but it is yet to mature. The zhuk is for light fighters anyway (mig) and not designed for others.
