You could drop off Drivel mid-way through Siberia, please. Don't bother telling the driver to slow down.

Doesn't prevent cruise ships from being wildly successful, that is, when they're not being sunk by incompetent Italian captains.

I have never come across an airship with a swimming pool and disco.

[Doctor Drivel]

How romantic.

[Doctor Drivel]

Which Gulag do you personally recommend? Food OK?

[Terry Fields]

The air-defence missiles of Machine-Building Design Bureau Fakel ("Torch")(also known as the Design Bureau in the name of P D Grushin) have shot down over 2500 aircraft.

The S-300 (NATO: SA-10 Grumble) is still reckoned to be the best AD missile.

Terry Fields

[Doctor Drivel]

Correct. Dates from the late 1970s.

[Terry Fields]

Then there's the RPG-7....first produced over 50 years ago...

The Russians do some good helicopter Wankel engines, that were used in cars and trucks at one time, made by Vaz and Lada. They are to export a rotary engine small civilian chopper:

Wasn't the AK-47 Czechoslovakian?

In the 67 Arab/Israeli war the Syrian Migs were decimated by the Israelis Us fighters.

The performance of MIGs was generally talked up by the US military to justify there spending on bigger and better themselves.

And have you ever seen a Russian Stealth bomber - no of course you haven't.

[Terry Fields]

Nope:

In the 67 Arab/Israeli war the Syrian Migs were decimated by the >Israelis Us fighters.

And all but sunk the USS Liberty.

All sides do that.

You didn't see the American ones either, until they chose to show them.

2,500 aircraft better off?

[djc]

Very stealthy :-)

[dennis]

We only saw the American stealth once the Russians could track it.

[Steve Firth]

Total bullcrap, again.

[Steve Firth]

It just goes to show that Russia makes the best stealth bombers.

[dennis]

What makes you think they can't track it? Its easy enough, it slices through electromagnetic fields and disrupts them. All you need is a few stationary transmitters around the coasts and a few receivers and you can detect stuff flying through them even if they absorb the signals. Its just as easy to track a hole as a reflection. You could just use mobile radio cells as the transmitters.

[Doctor Drivel]

No.

Type of plane and training plays a part.
