Russia succesfully tested new misile R-500, the capacity of which allows to destroy any defense system including most recent perspective ballistic missile defense systems. Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov said that R-500 was a high-accuracy missile, capable of destroying ballistic and air defense systems. Ivanov said the missile was a new version of the Topol-M, first commissioned in 1997 and known as the SS-27 in the West, but one that can carry multiple independent warheads. Existing Topol-M missiles are capable of hitting targets more than 6.000 miles away...

Isn’t that what they said in the 80’s and 90’s?

[Mr. K]

we have a hard time hitting a missile with a missile, but they are going to hit the missile that is chasing the missil with a missile?

I’ll believe it when I see it.

[Mr. Mojo]

Ok, so if that's the case the Russians shouldn't be at all concerned about our ABM systems stationed in Europe.

Right Vlad?

[Gay State Conservative]

Yup...Putin’s a friend of The West all right.

[EndWelfareToday]

Interesting how progressive bullies are isn’t it? They just can’t handle it when people defend themselves can they?

[RightWhale]

Russia is getting to be a smaller, more compact target. Perhaps they are right to be apprehensive. The USA wouldn’t do that to a potential commercial market but some other parties might.

It is actually a container for missiles. That’s how they try to ‘beat’ our defenses.

[Mr. Mojo]

Isn’t that what they said in the 80’s and 90’s?

The Russians, like the Arabs, have always talked a much bigger game than they possess.

[boomop1]

Blah, the commie is sooooo funny.

[RightWhale]

Perhaps slightly overstated, but definitely capable.

“Yup...Putin’s a friend of The West all right.”

Time for him to head for Crawford, TX for some brisket and spare ribs, again. Didn’t Bush look Putin in the eyes and discovered that the man had a soul and was trustworthy?

[bikerman]

Oh ya! Well my missile can beat you missile,and your mother wears combat boots so there.

[EGPWS]

Chruchev would be proud in knowing that his promotion of deception of strength he used tactically in the ‘60’s is still a viable option for the weaker entity in Moscow years after his death.

Didn’t Bush look Putin in the eyes and discovered that the man had a soul and was trustworthy?

Yup.But ya gotta admit that Putin *does* look Mexican.

[RightWhale]

She does! And very well.

[fish hawk]

They never lied to us before, why would they start now?

[Dumpster Baby]

They can't and won't use them. These guys will kill them if they do:
