After the incident, the foreign media reported that "Donald Cook" was rushed into a port in Romania. There all the 27 members of the crew filed a letter of resignation. It seems that all 27 people have written that they are not going to risk their lives. This is indirectly confirmed by the Pentagon statement according to which the action demoralized the crew of the American ship. The is pure propaganda BS. Classic Soviet era BS.

the Soviets are doing us a favor if they show us their countermeasures prior to combat. I agree. It would be stupid to show you cards like this. Sounds like propaganda.

One SU-24 with an EW pod did not shut down Aegis. Ridiculous.

One SU-24 with an EW pod did not shut down Aegis. RidiculousThe Su-24 would have to be more EW hardened than the ship (or the avionics might not function). Is that possible?

The only serious point, which isn’t even made here, is that the US Navy would have a very hard time conducting war time operations in the Black Sea.
The USN is centered on carrier strike groups and they aren’t going in there. US DDGs are not battle cruisers and they would be very exposed to massed missile attacks, without a long enough reach to do anything but play defense.

How about “the Russians have now admitted to committing an act of war against the US” ?

Plus enlisted members of the crew can not resign. Junior officers (less then 6 years of service) can not resign either.

The Cold War ENDED almost 25 years ago and WE WON!!!
No need for further military R&D. Now let’s move on and show that we can bomb Botswana into submission.

True. Use of EW measures preemptively against a US warship could certainly be considered a hostile act.

Looks like Soviet Pravda and Izvestia are back in business.In the past Pravda and Izvestia were models of leftist propaganda and disinformation. Now, they take lessons from the New York Times! /S
To: Renfield
The truth can be verified by the DOD and told to the public.
However, since the election of the “Communist in Chief”, NOTHING CAN BE BELIEVED from the government...PERIOD!
Now we find ourselves in a real fix since all statements from the government (on all levels from local to national) are first, assumed to be a lie unless proven otherwise.
This is just how far down the sh.t hole we have come.

Is boolshiite.
Part is not boolshiite which is that any USN units operating in Black Sea are toasted blini in the event of hostility. Don't call it "BLACK SEA," Call it "Lake Russki."
SU-24? Is Russki A-10 equivalent, only faster. In fact, look like the losing Lockheed entry in the A-10 competition of yesteryear.

You really need to study what EMP is and not listen to the press hype.
To: PLMerite
Obviously this is a typo and they meant to say
287, also that the crew asked to join the Russian
navy for protection...
