The United States does not believe that Russian military aircraft are dangerous.

The American edition of "The National Interest" published an article in which the five most formidable and deadly types of Russian weapons are named. Among them are the Iskander missile systems, the Triumph C-400 anti-aircraft missile systems, the Smerch MLRS, and the T-72B and T-90 tanks. In fact, the United States stressed that neither the Dagger complexes, the Avangard complexes, nor any of the Russian combat aircraft pose a danger to the United States, which caused a lot of confusion.

In fact, we are talking about weapons, the development of which was started back in the days of the Soviet Union, in particular, the same Iskander missile system began to be designed back in 1988, the Smerch MLRS was put into service back in 1987, the T- 72 and T-90 also belong to the same period. The only exception was the newest S-400 Triumph anti-aircraft missile systems. Nevertheless, experts are puzzled by the question of why the United States does not consider Russian combat aircraft as a threat, which, in their essence, may well withstand the American F-35 and F-22 fighters, not to mention the older F-15, F- 16 and F-18.

“It is a great surprise that the USA considers Smerch complexes to be a threat, but they forget about the capabilities of the same Su-30, Su-35, MiG-31 and Su-57 fighters. These combat aircraft are many times superior to the fighters that are in service with the United States and its allies. Moreover, the article “The National Interest” generally bypasses the Russian hypersonic armament, although one X-47М2 rocket is enough to destroy a warship from 1,5 thousands of kilometers away. What is the reason, so far remains unknown ", - stressed the analyst Avia.pro.
