The End of the Russian Arms industry

Not everyone think so.
MtG for example said something like this "We f*cked-up less in Afghanistan and with less casualties, then Soviets f*cked-up in Afghanistan." Which means that he think that American f*ck-up in Afghanistan is already over.

I think you're reading just a bit more into that than MtG intended.

BAM.
What post exactly?
This thread was crap from the beggining. The thread's name is "the end of Russian arms industry" and this is the quote from first article of this thread:
"According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Russia was 2002's most prolific exporter of armaments - surpassing even the US - with 36 percent of all global deliveries. "

If it means the end of our arms industry, then I have a bridge to sell.

Most of the posts you make in any thread with Russia in the title are pure unadulterated crap.

If I have to pick a typical example of the crap you've been spewing it would be this one:

Of course I don't. I just read a book recently about those things. The author claims that just before the fall of SU, Soviets had prototypes of absolutely new kinds of weapons. A weapons that use new physical principles.

M. Klashnikov "America vs. Russia" a book from "Great struggles" series. Find it and read it then we'll talk.

See this is the type of crap I'm talking about. Why should I read a book you can't even adequately describe and provide real information about?

[Serb]

If I'll start to describe this book, it will consume a lot of time (which I don't have right now) and it will require a lot of quotes from this book (which I no longer have, because it wasn't my book and I returned it to owner after I finished it).

See you tommorow, BAM.

Translation: I can't. I'm just making crap up and trying to save myself from the shame of admiting that outright.

I said see you tommorow.
Look I really have to go now. My workday is over.
Do you angry...BAM?

Just for you DD. I made a quick search and found this book:

I don't subscribe to that point of view, Mad Monk

I hope Russians love their children, too

Well, well, well, there could be only two opportunities:
1) It's not true.
2) You're revealing some info that you shouldn't reveal. Or perhaps it's ok for US navy serviceman to reveal information which he obtain during his work?

Well, I've learned a few things since I went out into the fleet.

(1) The Russian military is more active than I thought it was.

(2) It's still much, much, less active than you seem to think Serb.

Lemme tell you though, something like a Yard Fire is very hard to cover up to other countries intelligence agencies. Even in the '60s, the Russians knew when any delays in American shipbuilding was the result of a yard fire. All you have to do is look for an order for lotsa electronic equipment that should already be on board.

If someone should see that (and I've seen it in Janes amoung other places so it isn't really that big of a secret) there are orders for bulk amounts of electronics for a ship that's in port/in the yard...and the electronics have already been ordered once, it means one of three things:

(1) The equipment had been installed once, but a fire destroyed it and everything else in the space and nearby compartments.

(2)Someone did something stupid like drop the thing into the water by the pier when loading it on to the ship...

(3)it got stolen.

If a ship stays in the yards much longer when it's still ordering repeats of bulk electronics...as Janes pointed out, there was probably a yard casulty.
