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

Do you have no faith in the UK? Educate yourself on what we are doing.

Yes Bob, I do have faith in the UK, to keep buying most of whats needed from the US, good point though.

The SR-71 first flew in 1961 or 62, as I recall - more than half a century ago.

Mig 25 was built to intercept the SR 71 and he is still flying.

No, the Mig 25 was built to intercept the B-70 - The Mig 25 is considerably slower than the SR-71

SR-71 is a reconnaissance aircraft, which flew rarely. Mig 25 is the fastest fighter - interceptor until now. West could not make it a copy.

Vitaly, F-15 could easily destroy the MIG-25.....

MiG 25 could go mach 3 if they were prepared to melt the engines. The SR-71 could cruise all day at mach 3.

Gilbert. Of course, F 15 is not subject to gravity. We are talking about stupid Russian who have stolen technology. And not about any the plane will fall first.

Sr-71 was not rocket/jet hybrid, it was more like a high altitude jet. Impressive but not the same thing.

USA is not Australia, nothing to be proud of

Typical arrogance from an American. All that tech and you still can't win a war.

American? look again.

Remember the su 27, mig 29 etc. They have the engineering talent.

I see from your post that there are people who want weak leadership. They must be Democrats.

dunno they have played tha asymetric response card pretty cleverly for the last 50 years in the matters of nuclear war. Whatever you say about putin you can't say he is not quick and understands complex problems.

To be fair, it did fly into orbit. Once. Without passengers. Autopilot mode only. And that was it.

American astronauts to fly in space than now?

Of course I remember ! Tupolev Tu-144 flew for 2 months before the Concorde. He had more than the Concorde speed, altitude and number of passengers. But Tu 144 was noisy, gluttonous and expensive.

And the VC-10 copy called the Il-62.

@dai2000. Despite the similarity of the layout and aerodynamic schemes, these planes are different. Unlicensed copying B 29 Superfortress (Tu 4) has shown that doing reverse copy expensive and not effective. Various technological and production standards.

Ah, another silly utopian socialist! If you want to see a REAL waste of money, imagine taking all the world's military budgets and spending them on "the poor" - within a generation or two, the number of "poor" will have multiplied until there isn't enough money in the world to feed them all.

It IS made in Russia, stevie !
