So... shoot it down soonerIf you start looking at it economically what is the price of a t62/t-72 tank and what is the cost of a javelin missile.
What is the cost of a balloon with "Weather radars" or a few nice cameras and what is the cost of 24/7 signal jammers two escort fighter jets and a 200k air to air missile. Add the retrieval of the cargo in the ocean.
Are we draining Russia dry or are they draining the tank of the USA dry.

I did quote t62 t72 tanks not newer tanks like t 90'sLearn About the Javelin Tank Killers Heading To Ukraine
More precisely known as the FGM-148 Javelin or Advanced Anti-Tank Weapon System-Medium (AAWS-M), Javelin missiles are part of the multi-billion-dollar military aid package being sent to Ukraine.sofrep.com
"Manufactured in the US by Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, the Javelin costs $178,000, including the launch system and missile, according to the Pentagon’s 2021 budget. Each replacement missile costs around $78,000. With Russian tanks costing up to $4 million each, you literally get a lot of bang for the buck destroyed."
Cost of older tanks already bought and paid for (and Javelin missles already bought and paid for) is really not relevant. You have to figure replacement costs. Current cost of a new T-72 is $1-2 million. T-62 and T-64 are no longer in production.I did quote t62 t72 tanks not newer tanks like t 90's
Cost I was told of the t62 was 200k. Cost of javelin I was told was 250k. So 78 k a shot is much less than I expected even allows for a few missed shots to break even. The reason they are keeping the t90's in Russia and using the older mothballed t62's.
Same old story.Thanks, Act. That video made me smile.
At this point it would have been cheaper for Russia to take over Ukraine and we just buy Ukraine stuff off of them. Ya that benifits Russia and communism but how is that different than China? Still feel sorry for regular Ukraine people stuck in the middle of 2 corrupt governments.The Internal Security Service of Ukraine (SZBU) calls out the national police(with the focus being the head department in Kiev) and most of the police chiefs for running prostitution rings...from their police stations. A few were arrested.
Exemplary EU candidate Ukraine: Police chiefs running a prostitute ring?
Recently, a series of scandals have also reached the top management of law enforcement: It was revealed that the Kiev central police station was running a prostitute ring. The Internal Security Service of Ukraine (SZBU) revealedfreewestmedia.com
In case of war, the Russian bomber fleet, and their missile armed cruiser fleet. was to strike out at our carriers with an unholy vengeance and take out as many as they could.. it was never going to be carrier on carrier fights.Same old story.
Soviet Era.. there used to be a bunch of them, now there is only one... and its a basketcase.
I think the Chinese finally got the second one of these running.
That said, Soviet/Russian doctrine wasn't that heavy on carriers.

This is why Reagan reactivated the four Iowas.. they were extra targets. (Hard ones at that) that were to make the Soviets waste missiles trying to find our carriers. As old as they were, the Soviets were worried about the Iowas.. And those battle-wagons could have soaked up a LOT of missiles.
If any of you have time. Look up some of the simulations if the Cold War had gone hot in the 80s, and not immediately gone nuclear. It makes WW2 look like a small brushfire war.
