Washington/Wall Street elites are now deep into nuclear war
paranoia. A few studies at
least hint at the obvious; glaring US strategic weakness.
Consider some of the basics:
- Russian ICBMs armed with MIRVs travel at about 18 Mach; that is
way faster than anything in the US arsenal. And basically they
are unbeatable.
- The S-400 and S-500 double trouble; Moscow has agreed to sell
the S-400 surface-to-air missile system to China; the bottom line
is this will make Beijing impermeable to US air power, ICBMs and
cruise missiles. Russia, for its part, is already focusing on the
state of the art S-500 – which essentially makes the Patriot
anti-missile system look like a V-2 from WWII.
- The Russian Iskander missile travels at Mach 7 – with a range
of 400km, carrying a 700kg warhead of several varieties, and with
a circular error probability of around five meters. Translation:
an ultimate lethal weapon against airfields or logistic
infrastructure. The Iskander can reach targets deep inside
Europe.
- And then there’s the Sukhoi T-50 PAK FA.
