Were the Russians ever to decide to attack us it would be a saturation attack with their latest, long-range cruise missiles launched well outside Canadian airspace.<br /><br />And if Canada is left with a maximum ready force of about 40 F-35s (probably 20 would be a push), saturating our defences would be child's play.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-39636242414925236022013-06-10T21:46:01.069-07:002013-06-10T21:46:01.069-07:00The author just proved him self to have absolutely...The author just proved him self to have absolutely no understanding of how interdiction and recon missions are structured.<br /><br />The-95s are probing for electronic information, radio traffic and estimations of reaction time etc. While the air frame may be old the electronics equipment is very up to date.<br /><br />They also do no operate alone by any stretch. <br /><br />Also the Tu-95 is roughly the same age as the U2 and not much older then the SR-71. <br /><br />Also please show me what other Russian Recon Aircraft has the range to conduct operations inside Canadian air space. <br /><br />It isn't like the Russians have made claims about the Tu-160 penetrating US and Canadian airspace recently.. oh wait..<br /><br />Stunning ignoranceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-28822247944041562432010-07-31T12:24:08.252-07:002010-07-31T12:24:08.252-07:00I could see the Americans wanting to oust Russia f...I could see the Americans wanting to oust Russia from Canadian territory but I'm not sure that would amount to "defending" us.

Do you really think we have hope in hell to rebuff Russia?<br /><br />However, I don't see any reason for them to invade us. Yes there could be dispute over resources in the Northern waters but I don't see any war coming. Harpo and company are just hyping it up to divert attention from other problems that Canada faces. I am more afraid of Cons than Russia.LeDarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526776746689708239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-38401890986029627952010-07-31T11:34:31.329-07:002010-07-31T11:34:31.329-07:00If Russia were to try and invade us we would have ...If Russia were to try and invade us we would have to rely on the US for protection.....now that is funny.Anyonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765384812104835792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-80921582310350100712010-07-31T06:57:19.247-07:002010-07-31T06:57:19.247-07:00Well, the vintage of the Bear bomber does date bac...Well, the vintage of the Bear bomber does date back to McCarthy's heyday.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-3570621455717910372010-07-31T06:39:12.650-07:002010-07-31T06:39:12.650-07:00McCarthy never left the building!McCarthy never left the building!LeDarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526776746689708239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-26106763204981587542010-07-31T04:20:53.734-07:002010-07-31T04:20:53.734-07:00And folks said McCarthyism wasn't making a com...And folks said McCarthyism wasn't making a come backckhttp://sistersagesmusings.canoreply@blogger.com
