Thread: Russian jets simulate attacks on an American destroyer

They were spying , in other words , in the electronic spectrum.

Yep... what Bob said

Maybe they aren't always the bad guys?
Bizarre thought I know but what the heck....

I haven't been there for any of them so not vouching for anyone... I just pointed out after a number of posts saying the US would be the aggressor that there are others playing this game....

I did not notice you asking them the same question Eevo.... Maybe a bias there?

but I shall not be playing your little game on this thread, it's not mine and I have some sheets to prepare on fallen soldiers from my town here in time for Anzac Day.

i didnt say you said that. i was questioning if you were suggesting.

i dont think life is as simple as good guy bad guy. unless your a copper. ahaha.

dont need to ask them the same question, the video showed they did.


i also doubt russia is going to start a war with the US by sinking a destroyer.

All a bit of fun, the American guys on the ship would have enjoyed it nearly as much as the Russian pilots,....they probably waved to each other,....from the bit of video I saw, the American guys on deck were actually laughing.
If the Americans had thought there was any danger, they could've taken those jets out easily.
The comment was also made that the Jets did not appear to be armed.
Have the Yanks done this sort of stuff?....Of course they have!
Pickles.
