Monitoring opportunities?
http://news.mobile.msn.com/en-us/art...1&aid=29691183 (via SmokeyKat, MilCom list) That photo sure brings back memories. I remember those boys buzzing us from time to time just above the deck and a few hundred feet away. We'd wave at each other! Later, I remember monitoring them as they transited along the east coast USA, sending position reports in Russian Morse. At the time there was an article in either PopCom or Monitoring Times giving details on how to decode those posit reports. dxAce Michigan USA |

I guess boredom set in after hundreds of hours flying and they got to do something exciting. That had to be quite a sight with a bomber that close. How fast do you think they were traveling when they flew by you? -- Telamon Ventura, California |

How fast do you think they were traveling when they flew by you? Not terribly fast, at least at the time. I'd guess 150 to 200 MPH. There were several of them in most cases. Quite the site.

An interesting aircraft: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-95 I just noticed this, in the above article: During the height of the Cold War, the long range of the Tu-95 was demonstrated weekly as a pair of Tu-95s would fly from the Kola peninsula to Cuba along the east coast of the United States, escorted continuously along the way.[7] This is obviously what some of us were listening to, back in the day. dxAce Michigan USA |

We are putting missiles on Russia's doorstep. This is their response. "If the members of the Obama administration would bother to take a stroll down memory lane, they might recall that once upon a time there was a document called the anti-ballistic missile treaty, signed in 1972 between the United States and the former Soviet Union, which recognized that anti-missile defense shields were inherently destabilizing, and as such should not be deployed. The ABM treaty represented the foundational agreement for a series of strategic arms limitation and arms reduction agreements that followed. President Obama was 10 years old when that treaty was signed. He was 40 years old when President George W. Bush withdrew from it, in December 2001, and set in motion a series of events that saw arms control between the U.S. and Russia completely unravel. The proposed U.S. missile defense shield, to be deployed in Poland and the Czech Republic, had the Russians talking about scrapping the INF treaty (which eliminated two classes of nuclear-armed ballistic missiles that threatened Europe) and deploying highly accurate SS-21 “Iskander” missiles within striking range of the proposed Polish interceptor site. Russia did not create the missile defense system crisis. The United States did, and, as such, cannot expect to suddenly receive diplomatic credit when it puts this controversial program on the foreign policy gaming table as if it were a legitimate chip to be bargained away. Russia has always, correctly, claimed that any missile defense system deployed in Eastern Europe can only be directed at Russia. While both the Bush and Obama administrations denied that was the case, Poland has all but admitted its concerns are not about missiles coming from Tehran, but rather missiles coming from Moscow. The American “sweetener” for a potential Polish loss of a missile shield is to offer Poland advanced Patriot surface-to-air missiles, whose intended target is clearly not a Persian missile which cannot reach Polish soil, but rather Russian missiles and aircraft which can. There are three basic facts that the Obama administration needs to address, but as of yet has not: First, missile defense systems are inherently destabilizing and only contribute to the acquisition of offensive counters designed to defeat those defenses. Second, the rapid expansion of NATO in the past decade has in fact threatened Russia. And third, the Iranian missile “threat” to Europe has always been illusory." http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/...a_meet_team_b/ |

Missile defense systems are defensive. The idea that a defensive system is destabilizing is completely ludicrous. Bombers are by their very nature offensive. An Russian offensive weapon deployed to the western hemisphere is by its very nature destabilizing. See the difference? |

I agree, war is insane, but it is sometimes necessary. One could very logically make the argument that Russia's belligerence the past few years well justifies any defensive system we may wish to deploy. |
