Russia has plenty of ballistic missiles to overwhelm the 10 BMD missiles. It has nothing to fear from it unless its planning to strike. Using (nuclear capable) ballistic missiles to send a msg against BMD...is irrational and overkill. It's like advocating against gun control and to drive your point home go out into the street and start shooting in the air randomly.<BR/><BR/>God those Russians are annoying me.David Vandenberghehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02483702955883940096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991917726704497295.post-50142524822645312952008-09-13T18:23:00.000-04:002008-09-13T18:23:00.000-04:00As for the Bulava test, you'll have to ask the pro...As for the Bulava test, you'll have to ask the proprietor of Russian Strategic Forces. The blockquoted portion of my post is actually his post in its entirety and he says:<BR/><BR/><I>Another launch that we should expect next week is the long-awaited flight test of the Bulava missile. It's about time - the Dmitri Donskoy submarine recently returned from sea trials and presumably is ready for action. Also, I have some information that the test is indeed scheduled for some time next week.<BR/></I>Russian Navy Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119671832425902500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991917726704497295.post-35121341189048243322008-09-13T18:10:00.000-04:002008-09-13T18:10:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.russiannavybloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03780608816517903228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991917726704497295.post-23927282775150900652008-09-13T14:03:00.000-04:002008-09-13T14:03:00.000-04:00Here is a link that provides details of the flight...Here is a link that provides details of the flight path of at least one (if not the only) missile: Sea of Okhotsk to Klyuchi: <A>http://severdv.ru/news/show/?id=14878</A>.<BR/><BR/>Can you provide the link to your source that indicates a Bulava launch will occur next week?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
