IT isn't 3,000ft long. It's under 300 feet long. It's a laser platform. It is propelled by electricity generated by one of two ways available to it. These things require almost 500 gigawatts of electricity between their propulsion systems and lasers.

I personally witnessed one shoot down 82 airborne targets at ranges from 3 to 400 miles in under 4 seconds.

It has hypersonic capability and can reach orbit at will.

I read that article about the Sky Dreadnought last night and decided it was satire, not sure what that cigar shaped thing was but I doubt that article is anywhere near the truth. Although it would not supprise me in the least if it was some kind of drone.

Agreed. That whole "Sky Dreadnought" thing was clearly BS, but I think the chances are that the US is probably using some form of high tech (maybe secret) surveillance over Ukraine.

Hello dear GLP-fellows!

I have been following this thread since page no. 1... We truly experience difficult, interesting and dangerous times. I'm very much afraid this could turn into WW III, I pray and hope that war still can be avoided- but to tell the truth- what can we do?

I have not only followed this thread, but I also gathered a lot of info from other media sources- and this is the reason I'm writing this post- I also have my own sources and wanted to share some facts.

I was born in Poland, speak Polish and Russian fluently, I have several good friends who are Russians and we have mutual Ukrainian friends. Ukraine was on my radar long before mass media coverage began. Unfortunately there is a lot of disinfo circulating by now. I want to share what I know first hand.

This all is about freedom! Now, imagine there are two kinds of it: freedom to do something and freedom FROM something. We have here both! The people of Ukraine want to be free in the meaning of freedom of speech, freedom to chose your political partners and they also want to be free from Russia! There was no need for western funded influence, believe me! Ukrainians have been suddenly shocked by the attempt of Janukovich to join the tax union with Russia and the fact that he refused to sign the treaty with EU.
The Ukrainians know what the main difference is. They have realistic hopes, many of them work in EU countries, have family members there who support them. They mostly know that money has to be earned, they are hard working people who wish for themselves a "normal" life, nothing more and nothing less. There are certainly a lot of things one could criticize about USA or EU - the amount of freedom, gun rights, family laws etc- I agree with you if you say that we are still far from being the societies we normally should be. But try to see it in comparison! Believe me, you have know idea what's about to live in a country like Russia or Ukraine.... unless you have plenty of $$$$.
Financial situation has been the trigger, sure, but not in the way some believe. There were no agents giving them money to protest! The people just have had enough. One example: the rent for a simple flat (ca. 50 m2) costs about 1000€ in a normal city ! I'm not talking about luxury apartments in Moskva... So suddenly you have hole families, 4 or 5 adults who work to pay the rent and live with their children in 2 rooms. People marry, but still live with their parents and grandparents because they can not afford own apartments... And now in comparison: for 1000€ you could rent a whole house with 300m2 in Germany... Imagine that! Who gets all the money?
When you think they (Majdan protesters) risked their life because somebody was giving them 40€ the day, you do not understand the situation. They saw / see no other way, they support each other with food, they stand together as a nation for such a long time... Doctors working without payment, people taking care of strangers, imagine this in the US !
What I can confirm: there are problems with extreme nationalistic people in Ukraine and have always been... These nazi try to get their share now, they are fascist and yes they are a risk for the other, but they didn't start the protests, their reasons are not the reasons of normal Ukrainians and they will stand no chance in the next elections. In a situation like this, many kinds of idiots get heard who normally are ignored. Think of the situation in the USA- protests against the second term of GW Bush - if a criminal, a bogus person join in the protests, does it make the protest itself wrong?
And now my present for you: insider info- Janukovich is a drug addict! He has been abusing cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin for the last couple of years! He was living in a bubble, got selected info from his boys and lost contact with reality... That's why he did not succeed. This was never stated in the media... I just happen to know somebody who used to work in the inner circle... Does it make sense for you? At the same time, this piece of information is my greatest sorrow- what about his master? Is he delusional as well?

Stay save and pray for peace, it's not the time for the usual doom jokes...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51098129

You are a liar. You betray yourself when you try to convince us that you are from the region and know Ukrainians and Russians and speak Russian. Then you try to convince us that protesters were not paid to be violent. Then you try to convince us that Yanukovich is a drug addict. Now you try to tell us that he is crazy. Just like CNN has been telling us Putin is crazy. Just like they told us Kaddaffi and Saddam and Kim Jong Il were crazy. Nobody is believing your propaganda. Don't you realize that your methods of propaganda do not work anymore? You keep following the same script. Try something new.

AN AMERICAN WORLD ORDER

You’ve heard of the “United States of America?” Get ready for the United States of Earth. There will be a “new world order” and it will be American.

The presently existing nations of the world have proved themselves uneducated, petty and barbaric; they have lost the right to be sovereign independent states. As will be displayed shortly in Crimea, once Russia misbehaves too much and is utterly humiliated when battle begins, the “one-world-government” that’s been in the works in the UN will suddenly turn out to be American; because the rest of the world will have no choice.

Five days ago, when this web site ran a story announcing the deployment of a U.S. aircraft carrier strike group toward the Black Sea over the Ukrainian situation, many were critical, claiming it to be a hoax. Yet days later, that carrier strike group appeared off the coast of Greece. The final paragraph in that story stated in-part: “. . . the U.S. is also deploying another weapons system, which has been successfully tested, which can knock the S-400 out of action. TRN is not revealing the nature of that system for obvious reasons.” The new “Sky Dreadnought” is that weapon system.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

IT isn't 3,000ft long. It's under 300 feet long. It's a laser platform. It is propelled by electricity generated by one of two ways available to it. These things require almost 500 gigawatts of electricity between their propulsion systems and lasers.

I personally witnessed one shoot down 82 airborne targets at ranges from 3 to 400 miles in under 4 seconds.

It has hypersonic capability and can reach orbit at will.

People marry, but still live with their parents and grandparents because they can not afford own apartments... And now in comparison: for 1000€ you could rent a whole house with 300m2 in Germany... Imagine that! Who gets all the money?
When you think they (Majdan protesters) risked their life because somebody was giving them 40€ the day, you do not understand the situation. They saw / see no other way, they support each other with food, they stand together as a nation for such a long time... Doctors working without payment, people taking care of strangers, imagine this in the US !
What I can confirm: there are problems with extreme nationalistic people in Ukraine and have always been... These nazi try to get their share now, they are fascist and yes they are a risk for the other, but they didn't start the protests, their reasons are not the reasons of normal Ukrainians and they will stand no chance in the next elections. In a situation like this, many kinds of idiots get heard who normally are ignored. Think of the situation in the USA- protests against the second term of GW Bush - if a criminal, a bogus person join in the protests, does it make the protest itself wrong?
And now my present for you: insider info- Janukovich is a drug addict! He has been abusing cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin for the last couple of years! He was living in a bubble, got selected info from his boys and lost contact with reality... That's why he did not succeed. This was never stated in the media... I just happen to know somebody who used to work in the inner circle... Does it make sense for you? At the same time, this piece of information is my greatest sorrow- what about his master? Is he delusional as well?

Stay save and pray for peace, it's not the time for the usual doom jokes...

You are a liar. You betray yourself when you try to convince us that you are from the region and know Ukrainians and Russians and speak Russian. Then you try to convince us that protesters were not paid to be violent. Then you try to convince us that Yanukovich is a drug addict. Now you try to tell us that he is crazy. Just like CNN has been telling us Putin is crazy. Just like they told us Kaddaffi and Saddam and Kim Jong Il were crazy. Nobody is believing your propaganda. Don't you realize that your methods of propaganda do not work anymore? You keep following the same script. Try something new.

Yes this Polish/Romanian clown is a definitely a propagandist for the EU.
Ask the Greeks, the Portuguse, the Italians and soon the Spanish how they feel about the EU.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22788475


You know there are a lot of things I hate about the EU, I have some friends from Spain, Italy and Bulgaria! I know what is going on in Bulgaria... I also know how bad the situation is in Spain or Greece- an ex-girlfriend of mine is Greek. But what many people here on GLP do not know is, how life is under Russian shoe... I had the bad-luck to live in a state with Russia as the controlling power.... If I had to chose I would rather decide for living in the EU. But what is more important, I think every society should have the right to make their choice... If you don't believe me- please try to find some Ukrainians and some Russians where you live! I mean try to talk to real people in real life! Ask them what their opinions are.... In the current situation I believe losing the Crimea is maybe the only way to avoid war, but at the same time I'm afraid Putin will move further, take all Ukraine or later on maybe Poland, Baltic States..... I would not waste my time- reading, thinking etc if I lived in Argentina, Chile, Australia or maybe even USA.... There are the Pitcairn Islands... Who knows .... Give me some money and I'm off to Pitcairn and I will watch the show on Sat Tv ....

Stay save!

IT isn't 3,000ft long. It's under 300 feet long. It's a laser platform. It is propelled by electricity generated by one of two ways available to it. These things require almost 500 gigawatts of electricity between their propulsion systems and lasers.

I personally witnessed one shoot down 82 airborne targets at ranges from 3 to 400 miles in under 4 seconds.

It has hypersonic capability and can reach orbit at will.

And what type of laser did it use to shoot down teh 83 airborne targets in 4 seconds?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 49207205


As to weaponry, the Sky Dreadnought does not use any conventional weapons. All of its weapons are a type of pulse-plasma beams which, when seen by the naked eye, appear to be blueish-white, focused bolts of lighting. The weapons were first used on an experimental basis in the second Iraq war, where prototypes were tank-mounted, and were seen melting cars, trucks and buses to the shock and horror of the Iraqi troops who witnessed their use. The weapons operate 360 degrees vertically and 360 degrees horizontally without any blind spots. Nothing can escape the crafts’ weapons and no man-made object on earth can withstand being hit by the beams. Metals turn molten and melt in seconds; concrete is reduced to powder instantly. Human bodies shrivel to burnt/melted hulks the size of infants, in less than one second.

As announced in October, 2012 by the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, using a frozen hydrogen machine gun installed on a DIII-D magnetic fusion plasma platform in San Diego, researchers we re able to fire millimeter-sized pellets of frozen hydrogen into the edge of a 20 million degree fusion plasma stream, dramatically reducing the size of periodic edge disturbances called ELMs, which are similar to solar flares at the surface of the sun. “The rapid-fire frozen-pellet machine gun technology actually triggers many smaller disturbances, effectively short-circuiting the plasma’s natural tendency to have less frequent, but much larger outbursts,” said Dr. Larry Baylor of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where the pellet gun was designed and built. To the frustration of scientists, the public announcement was delayed for years because once the plasma streams could be controlled and focused, their use as a weapon became simple.
