"48 nm (90 km)
65 nm (120 km) in 3M80E
some sources claim 250 km"

Well, the official sources claim the first. And I was wrong about the platforms carrying it.

5-6 times? You seem to have problems with mathematics.

Once again:
3M80 - 90km
3M80E- 120km
For Sunburn launched from an aircraft range extends to 250km.

Speaking as a guy who works with Electronic Warfare Techs.....

I'll agree it's a deadly missile the EWs (Anti-missile types) call it the "Oh-sh*t" missile.

Although it can be stopped.

Anything can be stopped if lucky enough...even a Doom Star.

I think you mean Deathstar.

Ha lazy? I thought they were followed by Bushido

No less a person such as Kruschev said that "SPAM" saved the army units he was with, a true sign of the effect of lend-lease if any.

Look, I have very little if any respect for Khrushev, so I don't care much what this bullsh!ter said. Perhaps he told the truth this time, I don't know. I do not deny LL saved many Russian lives, I deny it was a main source of Soviet war material as you claimed earlier.

Soviet Soldier(shelled by artillary): "Quick! We have tomove forward or back until we stop getting shelled"

American: "F--k this, Kawaski? call in an airstrike ( P-51 zooms in and destroys battery)

And who told you that in war Allies vs. USSR you would have air superiority?

For a minnesotoan....cold is life. Polar Bear club is life. MInnesota is 9 months winter and 3 months poor sledding weather. All ph34r MInnesota!

And many such guys do you have? We have more than 100 millions, I'm not counting those fragile, pity Moscovians and alike.

Yes, the world grew to fear the pistol accuracy of the Russian officer, who never missed a retreating Russian soldier!

Soviets took this trick from Germans, BTW. They started first to shot their retreating troops, when their asses were kicked in Moscow's counter-offence. Soviets came to this idea only year or so later then Germans.

Buddy, you dropped the hammer on inexperienced, ill-equipped (what with our total control of the sealanes) soldiers with the Rompin' Stompin' Russian Red Ass. The Confederate Army, circa 1863 could have beat those yolkels.

I think you guys would be in a much worse situation fighting the western Allies with no outside help then you would have been fighting Germany (and sitting out the mai phase of combat againest Japan) with our help.

And who told you that in war Allies vs. USSR you would have air superiority?

No one. But it is a safe assumption to make.

Well, then we throw in Canada, the Dakotas, peeps in the Sierra Nevada, Maine, etc....we could probaly scrape togather 100 million civilians who live in those areas. More to the point, we could scraped togather several ten thousand Pershing MBTs which, if not exactly the T-34, were more than a match for late model German panzers.
