PAC III works fine, once again, our interest in Soviet military hardware is
to
study how to defeat it, not copy it. When's the last time you saw the
Soviets
or Russians produce something and then a very similar copy comes out in the
west? Never. I can't even count the western copied hardware in the Russian
military. Boy that Blackjack sure looks like a B-1B doesn't it?


See how "happy" Americans were bad mouthing Tu-160 Blackjack until the
poster in message 58 made a good comparison between them, few messages
later, the "happy" americans gave up. I do not want to repeat the same
conversation, see the results he

"That's the TU-160 Blackjack. It looks almost identical to the Western
B1A bomber. However, the blackjack is over 25% bigger than the B1A,
and can acheive the same speed, and a higher payload, you have to give
credit for that. The largest of everything is usually Russian"

Happy ?

The problem with speaking in absolutes as you have is it only takes one example
ot prove you wrong.

Biggest piston driven bomber = B-36

Biggest suspension bridge = in Japan

Biggest aircraft carrier = U.S. Navy

Geeze, make your point already.
