Russia doesn't need to waste it's nuclear arsenal on America, they just need to abide their time and wait patiently until the super volcano under Yellowstone Park erupts, which could be anytime soon. Then it's GOODBYE America.Pope Gregory XVII
Even if they manage to make one, their pilot will be drunk on vodka and crash it.Rickard
The arms race bankrupted Russia (same size economy as Italy) in the 1980's, looks like history will repeat itself.Atavist
Putin+co don't know what the rest of Russian people think, and you know what's happened to deaf Westminster here. Russians want the monopoly on their broadband kicked out for example, not ICBMs to bomb the countries they get their income from! There's a big desire for emmigration in Russia now.Simon Love
Well, if the Russians go ahead with this project and loudly broadcast this plane's offensive capabilities, they can't exactly complain if the USA develops effective systems to deter it can they? Only a socialist would have trouble understanding this...Hotshot
The Americans have already flown a hypersonic aircraft, with an engine that was designed in Queensland Australia. So it will be sometime before the Russians or any other nation catch up.Piair
So this plane will be able to cruise at well in excess of 15000mph? This is about ten times the speed of the present day fastest aircraft but it will be necessary to reach anywhere on earth within 2 hours as according to the article. Seems a bit too much of a leap to me.Phillip Kensington
It'll be just like the T-50 PAK-FA; a few dazzling prototypes will be built and flown to show off, expenses will skyrocket, R&D process will stall, and the project will be silently canceled.
