Living in the romantic past from 50 years ago still? Let me refresh:Hahaha, so true. It's always been Russia and it's amazing SAM technology that was helping underdogs like Vietnam go up against the world's greatest superpower as well as the family of SA-2/3/6 etc. in all the Arab/Israeli wars. The war of attrition in particular, followed by the Yom Kippur war and how the SA-3s, SA-6 and SA-2s altered the shape of the battlefield in a historical sense. Since then there has also been the families of BUK/TOR & Pantsir etc.
The Soviet Union along with Russia ushering in the next stage of SAMs in the S-300/400 variants and beyond have influenced the shape of battlefields unlike any other entity.
The Patriot PAC 3 never really set its foot or made a good enough impression to even compete against Russian SAMs. Now it seems like the Germans have set their foot in and have started inching their way into sharing the limelight with you fellas with their IRIS-T-SL system.
1. Serbia 2x in the 90s
2. Iraq 1991
3. Syria current day
All networked by Russian / Soviet AA missiles. For 1 and 2, SAMs were worthless and provided little opposition to US and other aircraft.
And Syria, current day, Israel flies over Syria and attacks selective targets when it feels like. There have been a dozen air strikes in the last 18 months, how many times have you seen Israeli wreckage.
I am not an Israel supporter or proud of what they do, but burying your head in the sand is stupidity.
Democracy lesson 1-1 since now sure which rock you live under:Europeans have had enough of this ridiculous war and the Clown of Kiev who has taken everyone for a ride, earning Billions killing to the last Ukrainian.
1. Protester is a common attribute of democracy.
2. Policy does not change because a few 100 people demonstrate.
3. When it really changes , it does when the make up of parliament and elected Government changes and they change policy.
When that happens , yes war and support will stop. Thats possible in a year, by then, Russia will be more economically backward , its rouble devalued another 30%, and oil export curtailed by Black Sea being cut off.
Till then, if you want to feel optimistic and good about yourself, stick to amateur name calling and following Russian only Twitter feeds
