He is. You don’t think that crap really works do you? Look at that big screen. Why you could charge kids a dollar to jump up on it in a Velcro suit. Now selling Typhoon Class subs to China...that’s as stupid a move as any I’ve ever seen. Those SSN’s have Moscow hard wired into the targeting system.
Personally, I have fair amount of respect for Russian hardware. Usually, problems with it had more to do with the crews, than with the equipment.
I’d like to hear from someone who actually trains to fight against this stuff, rather than some blather about it being a piece of junk. We lost a bunch of aircraft in Vietnam to obsolete Russian junk (MiG-17s) and not-so-obsolete SAMs, so our air forces have trained like maniacs ever since to prevent it from recurring. I bet they take this stuff seriously.
Any F-15E jockeys out there who know the real score (and are you allowed to tell us?)?
