Video of aircraft below. Wow. That's really not good. REALLY not good. Russia's S.O.P. is to launch their ICBM's when the B-2's take off without prior notification, because once airborne they are undetectable. That's also why we always notify them in advance. In other words, the Russians pretty much consider multiple B-2's taking off the exact same as an American ICBM launch, and ya can't really blame em. Hope they changed that policy..... I wouldn't assume that Russia wasn't notified in advance based on that snarky pentagon announcement about taking phone calls. Plenty of other ways to notify them it that is the practice. I do get a little worried when people post about Russia's nuclear warheads deteriorating because that puts Russia in a "use it or lose it" quandary in an environment where a long term faceoff with the west appears to be brewing. I have no idea how true that is but the last thing you want is for Russia to start making those kinds of calculations. Yeah, it's bullshit anyway, but I do know for certain that Russia, and not only Russia, is notified every time those beautiful things fly. As to your second, about deteriorating ICBM'S, man, its even worse than you know. When the inspectors went in after the CCCP fell, they were astonished to find that the ICBM fleet had not been kept properly. It was a total mess. After a long inspection, it was also quite startling to learn that more than half of Soviet ICBM's wouldn't have launched if they had wanted them to. Perhaps things have changed, but the Russians have always been brilliant in the making of things and terrible at maintaining them. I'm not sure what the hell direction those bad boys'd go if Putin hit the button. |
