Question

does usa have plans of creating a new missile better than rs-24?.
answers with arguments

"As of today, Russia has new tactical and strategic complexes that are capable of overcoming any existing or future missile defense systems," Ivanov said, according to the ITAR-Tass news agency. "So in terms of defense and security, Russians can look calmly to the country's future."

Answer 1

The rs-24 is not a weapon of concern to the US defense people. It considered a 'handled matter'. Why would you ask such a vapid question? There is nothing that the Chinese, Koreans, Russians, Indians or anyone else's weapons development that we are not aware of. There are organizations and billions of dollars to keep us informed on such things, and whether you like the idea or not, they work fantastically well. It is extremely rare for anyone to test a military project as a surprise event to our intelligence services. Just because there has not been a front page NY Times headline on something doesn't mean the folks that need to know don't know!

Answer 2

Remember the Russians have been behind the United States since before the fall of the Soviet Union in terms of any kind of military technology. The US can detect anything bigger then a softball in the air virtually via radar and satelite. There's a reason the there wasn't a lot of uproar in the US about this new missle, because it is how that one woman put it, it's a handled matter.

The Russians can do what they want and they have weapons that can threaten our forces, woohoo, its old news. Russia is just blowing smoke and trying to get people to listen to them. The US already has 4th generation missles in development that will travel faster then MACH-2 and will be virtually undetectable. Besides who cares about if the Russians build something new, it doesn't matter, like the chinese put it, its all about the numbers, if the US builds a missle defence system they will build enough missles to overcome it (china currently has less then 100 warheads).

Answer 3

Hmm for Russia to say their missile can overcome our defense system along with all future systems is kind of immature unless they can tell the future or have fired one at us to see what happens. don't worry though the U.S. military has the technology to destroy that and then there is the technology people outside the military don't know about. i think Russia is just making those claims because were putting our missile defense system near them. remember Russia said they had created the 1st nuclear powered airplane but then that turned out to be a lie

Answer 4

Russia will always have differences with the US, right up to the time they join NATO. It's down the road yet but Radical Islam is helping unite strange bedfellows. It will be a long and painful process, but well worth the effort.

Does anyone in America really hate Russia? Want conflict with them. They are suffering their own painful change still. Time and Diplomacy will cure the remaining ills of the Cold War.

Answer 5

RS-24 is just a hybrid of missles that Russia already has. Our missile defense and the stock piles of missiles that we have are far more advanced than anyone else has that is a threat to us. We have nothing to worry about as far as that missile evading our technology. Our defense people are paid to be two steps ahead of everyone else and I trust that they are.

Answer 6

The greatest thing about being the best military and only super power on the face of the Earth is being able to say hit us with a nuke if you want. Then will choose to kick you around the parking lot even if we don't retaliate with nukes.

conventional or not we could wipe them out especially with the type of backing we would get from them hitting us 1st with a nuke.

Brings me to the important point. This stupid Preemptive War policy of the current administration. It doesn't work unless it is something like Pearl Harbor say we knew they were on their way with orders to attack. That is good preemption the act of sending forces to attack is good enough.

But I think they have weapons of mass destruction and they might use them is not good enough it makes us the aggressor and the bad guy.

thanks for asking

Answer 7

US missile technology has been far ahead of the Russians for a very long time. As for the RS-24.. we don't know what it can do, but US missiles can hit with a few feet of any target in the world. I'm thinking that's good enough with a nuclear payload.

Answer 8

Those missiles are pretty much obsolete. We can hit anywhere on earth with a Cruise missile launched from any number of ships or subs with pinpoint accuracy. How big a nuclear bomb do you really need? Mutual Assured Destruction is still in effect of course. But that would not seem to stop people intent on suicidal attacks.

Answer 9

yes we do.are missle capabilites are far greater than russia's,china's,and any one else's.
I have full confidence in our missle defence systems,u cant find any better in the world

Answer 10

nobody knows, thats the point of "classification"

my guess is we could blow the face of the earth off if we had to
