Remember that the Russians can do alot of weapons development for a lot less than we can do it here.

Remember what Russian weapons turned out being in 99 out of a 100 times. Junk.

Junk... Hmmmm, then why does Russia have new fighters and a plasma stealth system?

<> If we used our technology only and ignored all these hippie liberals, we would be soooo much further along in weapons research than we are. Can we use unemployed libs for nuclear testing? They'll at least earn their welfare checks.

I disagree. As but one example, their SU-30MK is an awesome fighter, and the only thing we have comparable is the F-22, which beats the Russian plane because of its stealth and our AWACS. The Russian plane is at least a generation ahead in thrust vectoring.
