I can't read Russian. The documents look like they could have been copied from anywhere on the web. The premise of my post was, why would the Ukraine need an ICBM launch submarine? I should have been more specific on just that part of the Russian hacking
I don't know about the rest of Russia's claims, but the part about the plans for the Columbia class nuclear submarine has to be Russian trolling.
I can't see why the Ukraine would have the documents for the US Columbia class nuclear submarine class. These are the newest boomers, ICBM launchers. So new that they haven't been completely built yet. The first one is being built now.
Yep perfect timing on this.
We the media took a turd, put it in a box, wrapped it with fancy wrapping paper and a bow, included a box of chocolates, and presented to the American people ----- 'The Obama's.
Now we told you how wonderful he was, and he was gay. You see what happens when you elect a gay President?
Odds are very high that Big Mike will be running.
All the armed services keep all of their frontline planes up to date on their avionics packages.
Avionics being radar, infra red, electronics warfare and the missile system itself. This type of mission is all about avionics.
An F16, probably two in this case, protecting AF1 would have the latest avionics package. Over the last 30 or 40 years these F16 have probably had 5 to 10 upgrades on the avionics.
As of this year the F16s have had another major upgrade package.
**The latest and most advanced variant of the F-16 to date, the Block 70/72, completed its maiden flight earlier this year at Lockheed Martin’s Greenville facility in South Carolina. **

F-16 built 30 years ago probably has the same avionics capability as the most advanced F-22 and F-35.
If there was a shoot down of that missile by an F-16 IMHO it would be by EW (electronics warfare). Disabling the missile rather than shooting it down. This is what the Russians are doing to some of the Ukrainian missiles right now.
Excellent, basically... lose the craziness and deal with it.
