Yesterday, the Russians announced five successful test launches of their new “Zircon” missile. Said to be able to travel at 1.7 miles a second, the “Zircon” has been pronounced to be hypersonic and all but unstoppable by current missile defense systems. Here
Today, China has announced that they have successfully tested the new Russian made S-400 Triumf missile defense system. Chinese rocket force declared that their new system was able to down a target moving at 1.9 mile per second. More
oh yeah? … well, Elon Musk can blow up ‘prototypes’ faster than you can say ‘taxpayer-funded’ … so there!
these guys are hilarious … I’m sure Little Kim is concocting a ‘massive’ response this very moment
reminds me of the time that US Engineers manufactured what was considered the tiniest drill bit in the world & sent it to Switzerland … they sent it back…. w/ a hole drilled in the shank
“Triumf” is that Russian for Trump??
And the sad truth is Obama has us way out of this race.
Triumf the insult air defence system.

These missiles are easily taken down by zircon encrusted tweezers while riding a pygmy pony….
Yawn.
@willysgoatgruff – But only in Montana, and soon.
@ al and Willie, it has to be over by the dental floss.
I had on Joe’s garage earlier.
I wanted to add, you need the next level of computer clocking speeds to calculate an intercept. We’ve been giving our latest technology to China for free. Or they steal it. We need to clamp down on ALL of our technology. Because no matter how harmless or innocuous it might seems it can bite you in the ass.
Back during the cold war Russia couldn’t hit shit with their ICBM’s. The reason, they couldn’t grind a round ball bearing. TRW got the OK from the state department to sell them some trick ball bearing grinding machines and the rest is history.
@ Rick….be careful raising dental floss in Joe’s Garage because a weasel might rip your flesh…
Brad, don’t forget to ad that so much of this transfer of technology is on the Democrats and in particular the clintons!
With Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez heading the defense subcommittee, I’m sure she’ll whip this problem in like, 20 minutes…. 30 tops.
That’s quite a pissing match.
Russia: Hey China, I triple dog dare you to shoot it down…you’ll shoot your eye out!
Pfft! Saudi Arabia will just send out a Muslim with a laser pointer.

It’s called “capitalism”. And it’s A Very Good Thing™.

No. That’s the *future*. History would be selling something old fashioned. Like rope. For nooses.
I really don’t want to rip this guy a new one tonight. I’m currently doing neked yoga. I can’t say the neighbors are digging it, but I’m trying to get them to join in. Specially the wives. Anyway, someone help this brain damaged individual.
Ahh … I remember when I finished building that rocket – fast? Faster than an Arkansas coon dog! Faster than a nigrah chasing a watermelon truck!
Anyway, I transferred the technology to the Chinese, as a “good-faith” measure.
Both the Russians and the Chinese were satisfied until I let it slip that I intended all my vast knowledge to be shared by all man (and woman) kind.
