Putin reveals hypersonic stealth bomber that can launch nuclear attacks from SPACE and travel anywhere in the world in two hours

Seriously dude. America has piggybacked on everything for the last 100 yes. Computer: British. Jet engine British. Ballistic missile Germans. The list is long. Using someone else's tech and or making it better is the way it is . You, us and everyone.

And you can bet the 'Sabre' engine technology will be got by General Electric or Pratt & Whitney - somehow!

You find the Russian always had good engineers, just that America had better pay and living conditions.

who told you this? American news?

IloveUK, this isn't American propaganda, it's official UN information...

Russians who have escaped russia to live in safety here in spain and are getting their familys out as quickly as they can.

Is the US much different? It spends so much on its military that it cannot afford to treat its citizens when they fall ill. If you're poor in the US - and there are millions - you get sick, you die.

MrBeanBean. So Russia must do to live well? To become a colony of the West?

MrBeanBean - You believe everything the UN say? One thing is for sure in Russia. If you hungry your neighbors will feed you will love and respect.

What's of it? 50 million of Americans live in poverty.

i didn't realise how popular a read the DM is in Russia.

Russiatroll ..even the poorest American is better off than an average Russian. millions of Russians are trying to get to the US !!! 100 million Russians are living in abject poverty with a life expectancy below 55 !!

IloveUK is definitely one of those who believes in every single conspiracy theory there is out there

Gilbert. MAy be it's because Russia still struggle consequences of WW2 that what lead on it's territory? While America benefited much from it?

How many people use food banks in the uk?

US spends 10 times more than Russia and it has 50 million living in poverty. Britain spends just as much as Russia and it has millions living in poverty.

hah last time i was in england i see homeless people sleeping rough on the streets..

@jb believe what you want, everyone gets fed in the UK.

Wow, so many Russian trolls.

@Danxx I would rather see hobos and typhoons, and not council houses and swords.

Don't call someone a troll for just having a different opinion.

until it happens...

Yours also. Don't forget about it

Remember every one that includes Russia China North Korea and any other country with Nuclear weapons that it all comes down to MAD Mutual Assured Destruction. Want to press the button!

There is another huge flaw in the plan... The top image shows what looks to be a swing wing (so 1960s) air frame. If someone thinks that lugging wing linkages and the power to move such wings to altitude then they have miss understood the word "payload". The aircraft in the wind tunnel has a very interesting wing form for what one would assume is supersonic. Still the Russians have political will and with funding you can do anything.

I wouldn't worry too much about this, it is another Russian paper dragon. Their economy is in the tank and they can't even field their new fighter jet the T-50 because of a verity of technical issues including its engines.

Raptor we shall not mention the F35 shall we... you drop kick,.

Tony..we have the ability to kill hugely..have a look for what plans the government has to protect our lives if deterrence fails. We have no civil defence programme at all..There is nowhere to seek safety, no nuclear bunkers for the public..we just die if deterrence fails and it all goes bad.

They seem to have forgotten that countries fight back!

Retractable wings in hypersonic flight = recipe for supercavitating airframe destruction.

Let's nominate him for another Nobel peace prize!

Obama ? Hoe did you manage to link him to this article ?? next time you have constipation you will say the same ?

Jimmy, when it comes to constipation, Obama is the one that's full of ****.

ha ha . ok that made me chuckle John .

Are you forgetting the Russian cruise missiles that landed in Iran?

Only two of the 15 incredible accuracy actually.

Russia fired a dozen cruise missiles from Caspian sea, as it turned out it was a show, the missiles were lost ..lol

Most of Russia's bombing is with unguided area weapons. Cheap and effective, especially if you don't care about collateral damage.

That situation has nothing to do with technology, just gross mismanagement by politicians.

When they can make a better bit of kit than my iPhone, let me know.

They can't even build automobiles that are any good.

Spacex technology is 20 years ahead of anything Russia can offer pal..

Considering how massive US debt is, I wouldn't be surprised.

Yep, Mutually assured destruction.

War = Technological Progress , sad but true . If there was no war we would be in loincloths chasing poultry and game for lunch instead of exchanging message over the internet right now.

Lol, ironically enough compared to virtually all of human history there's hardly any. You live in a paradise of peace compared to other centuries.

War leads to advances in technology, which filters back to us during peacetime.

because you can launch satellites, move quickly to other parts of the globe, seed mines in space, all sorts of reasons

I was about to say, does anyone remember the Tupolev Tu 144? At the Paris air show. Bang!

yeas, any one remember de Havilland Comet.....bang bang bang, bang....you British are not able to produce even trainer aircraft any more.

I guess you don't realise that NASA leases the two last remaining Concordskis (TU-144) as experiential platforms and weather chasing. Yes they had a tragic crash, but moved on from it and kept the remaining planes flying.

Who woke you up

Dennis, The Paris crash was caused by the French government flying a spy plane in what was supposed to be sterile airspace.

It is. It's a British invention which used to be called the Hotol engine but it didn't get government funding under the Labour government.
