The Russian military is 1000 times better than 25 years ago. Could they take over the United States?

Supplies by air. Supplies by ships. If Russia were to fight U.S. in Alaska, Russia would fly supplies in from Provideniya, Russia and other Russian cities. No need to hike across Bering with a backpack full of supplies.

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"

"Forget it, he's rolling."

This would never have happened under my daddy Trump.

How ignorant can you possibly be? People crossing our border looking for work only help the U.S. to fill jobs others won't do. They aren't overthrowing our government, destroying our freedoms, and killing our people.

It’s the ejection ports that will finally do them in. It started with the T-62. Auto loaders and automatic ejection of the shell casings.

the BMP’s have them too although it’s a smaller caliber round. Problem is sometimes the ejection port doesn’t open after they fire a round off. The casing has nowhere to go and has been known to fly around inside the turret, decapitating the crew. Our tanks, older tanks but they have a single round, loaded up by a loader, the round dies come out but is controlled by the loader.

if we can insure that the ejection ports on all the Russian tanks fail to open after a round is fired, the Russians won’t last long.

I can't believe letsrun is big enough to attract attention from Russian shills but here we are

No. Modern ICBM defenses should not be trusted against a first strike. Their effectiveness isn't clear against a single missile, let alone 500 or 2000.

What makes you think the guy digging through your dumpster wouldn't want to mow your lawn or pick your food for ten times as much money?

Maybe you figure he's a dope addict, well guess how the dope gets here.

They are still using WW2 technology.

Our F-15’s have a history of knocking out migs before they even sense them. We have never had our modern tank taken out in battle.

It’s not even close.

It's very reliable - their old "Satan 1" ICBMs could match up with the U.S.'s "Peacekeeper" & "Minuteman" ICBMs. The Satan is a multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) carrying 10-14 warheads yielding 550kt-700kt.

But Russia has the new & advanced "Satan 2" ICBM. This one is a whopper:

Russia has unveiled its largest nuclear missile, which is supposed to be powerful enough to destroy an area the size of a state with a single blast. The missile is able to travel distances up to 10,000 kilometers (6,214 miles...

The Aegis ballistic missile defense system is the best in the World. It's effective against multiple targets as well as ICBMs carrying multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle systems (MIRV).

The weapon I'd be worried about is the hypersonic Tsirkon missile. This can hit 20x the speed of sound and can carry up to a 200kt warhead. These can be launched from Russian subs. It's my understanding that we don't have a defense system for this yet (unless it's classified).

Russia's new hypersonic Tsirkon missile was fired from Norwegian sector of Barents Sea

President Putin has praised the weapon as part of Russia’s new unrivaled missile systems but this is the first time ever such launch has taken place in waters between mainland Norway and Svalbard.

I guarantee you right now our LA & Virginia class attack subs are monitoring every move the Russian subs are making.

Do you think those supply ships and air transports would be able to fly into Alaska uncontested? In order to fly or ship in enough supplies to support a land invasion of CONUS, even if you just start with Alaska, they would have to achieve air superiority first. The odds of that are slim to none.

It looks to me that Putin's plan was to sacrifice his conscripts in the first few days. Russia has reportedly had about 5,000 casualties. I suspect most of these were the ones that were oblivious to why they were even there and thought they were just going to the border for training. I worry that he will not use his more skilled and properly trained soldiers for urban combat now that reinforcements appear to be ready for the capitol.
