Dear amerikans,
YOU members of the self-described “christian nation.
YOU HAVE FALLEN WAY BEHIND in technology!
RUSSIA AND THEIR FRIENDS ARE “YOUR DADDY” NOW!
You still have to drop this “thing” from the wing of a B-52 to “ignite” the “scram-jet” rocket engine???????????????????????????????
HOW PRIMITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here, take a peak at this! ALL HAVE RAM-JET ROCKET ENGINES AND FLY MACH 2.2 OR MUCH BETTER! Been on the weapons market for over 10 years!
MOSKIT – the best anti-ship missile in the world

With a range of 240 or so kilometers, it’s into the side of that aircraft carrier in a little more than 4 seconds once fired! THE PURE KINETIC FORCE EXERTED AT IMPACT BY THIS WEAPON’S RAM-JET ROCKET ENGINE WITH NO EXPLOSIVE CHARGE CAN SINK AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER WHEN STRUCK AMID SHIP!
AND, YOU amerikans HAVE NOTHING IN YOUR VAST AMORY TO COUNTER THIS.
PERIOD!
S-400 Triumf (Russian: C-400 «Триумф») is a new generation anti-aircraft

BUT, WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO CHECK OUT IS THE S-400 PLATFORM!
WILL ENGAGE OVER 100 OF YOUR AIRCRAFT AT ONCE!
GO ALL THE WAY TO 90 MILES HIGH TO PURSUE AND DESTROY MISSILES AND AIRCRAFT!
all of the back of 1 (ONE) flat-bed truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and, they have made thousands OF THESE VERY EASILY PORTABLE (AND HIDE-ABLE) UNITS!!
sold THE S-300 series for $200 million per truck!
TO ALL COMERS
VENEZUELA, BRAZIL, IRAN, CHINA, INDIA, SOUTH AFRICA, TAIWAN, TO NAME A FEW COUNTRIES THAT BOUGHT THE S-300 PLATFORM WEAPON SYSTEM FROM RUSSIA.
THIS WAS WHILE YOU BIG, BRAVE, TOUGH amerikans WERE ATTACKING 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES WHO COULD NOT DEFEND THEMSELVES!
KNOW THAT THE S-300 PLATFORM HAS BEEN SOLD AND DISTRIBUTED WORLD WIDE!
SO, BOTTOM LINE IS, ARROGANT stupid amerikans, YOU ARE SURROUNDED, LITERALLY, AND MOST OF YOU ARE NOT EVEN REMOTELY AWARE OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAVE A NICE DAY, (while you still can)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
