I read the linked article 3 times and still couldn't get any real information out of it. Does Sputnik News now write for Armyrecognition? So what is this Aerospace Forces because the article doesn't explain what they are. It goes on to mention Russian Strategic Missile Forces, Boomer subs, cooperation with allies and then goes on to describe ICBMs. A shining example of non-speak. So what exactly are Aerospace Forces? -Especially since treaties have existed since the 1960s to ban weaponizing space with nukes. |

Well, their engineers should start cleaning up that orbital debris.
Probe Wars…that doesn't sound right. Need more hot Russian babes to infiltrate the ISS. With new skin-tight space suits. Gyrojets…When do we get Gyrojets!!! They're going to build a Wall! |

It's probably the Russian answer to USSPACECOM. And speaking of skin-tight spacesuits…

Gyrojets…When do we get Gyrojets! We don't want gyrojets. I've had the opportunity to examine & fire gyrojets including both pistol and carbine versions. Aside from kissing $50 USD goodbye with each shot, they are very inaccurate and the mini "jet" motor doesn't arm until 10 yards out the barrel, a safety feature that makes it useless for SD and CQB applications. So it's useless up close and inaccurate at distance. They are really flammable though, which is the opposite of what you want in space. A "neat-o" gun with about as much usefulness as the "tround". |
