Putin threatens to attack EU with new laser weapon if US pulls out of INF treaty
 

GFY's "Nico-t" in Holland is excited for his master Putin to kill his people with lasers!

"What can the Peresvet laser system do? So far, Russia isn’t giving us any specifics. But the country wants to assure America that if the U.S. pulls out of the INF Treaty, as the U.S. State Department threatened to do yesterday, Russia is ready to go so far as to attack European countries if it must."

“If the INF treaty is destroyed, we won’t leave it without a response,” General Staff chief Valery Gerasimov said today in Russia while addressing military leaders. “You as military professionals must understand that the target for Russian retaliation won’t be U.S. territory but the countries where the intermediate-range missiles are deployed.”

Russia Shows Off New Laser Weapon After U.S. Threatens to Pull Out of Missile Treaty

Russian state media published video earlier today of its latest laser weapons system, the Peresvet. The move comes just a day after the U.S. said it would likely pull out of a key arms treaty between the two countries, and the timing of the video’s release doesn’t appear to be a coincidence.

“Peresvet laser systems, based on new physical principles, entered combat service in [a] testing regime with the Russian armed forces,” Russian Defense Ministry’s newspaper said, according to an English translation.

When President Vladimir Putin made his annual address to Russia’s Federal Assembly back in March, he promised to deploy some high-tech weapons in the near future, and the new laser system got what you might call a “soft launch” back in July when the military first unveiled video of the device. But as tensions increase between the U.S. and Russia, it appears that Putin doesn’t want the West to forget that Russia is developing plenty of new weapons should the New Cold War turn hot.

Sputnik, one of the Kremlin’s propaganda media outlets, published video of the new weapon this morning, though it appears to be very similar to the video that was posted back in July.

What can the Peresvet laser system do? So far, Russia isn’t giving us any specifics. But the country wants to assure America that if the U.S. pulls out of the INF Treaty, as the U.S. State Department threatened to do yesterday, Russia is ready to go so far as to attack European countries if it must.

“If the INF treaty is destroyed, we won’t leave it without a response,” General Staff chief Valery Gerasimov said today in Russia while addressing military leaders. “You as military professionals must understand that the target for Russian retaliation won’t be U.S. territory but the countries where the intermediate-range missiles are deployed.”

The INF Treaty bans the deployment of new intermediate-range nuclear weapons with a range between 310 miles and 3,400 miles (500km and 5,500km)—the kind of high-powered missiles that would pose a threat to Russia if placed in nearby European countries like Poland and Romania.

The U.S., reportedly led by Donald Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, claims that Russia is already in violation of the INF Treaty and that Russia has 60 days to become compliant before the U.S. nullifies the landmark 1987 treaty. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made the ultimatum yesterday in a meeting between NATO leaders in Brussels.

But Putin isn’t shying away from what he considers a massive provocation. President Putin called the potential violation of the treaty a “thoughtless step” and said that Russia would “react accordingly.”

“Many other countries—about a dozen of them, probably—produce such weapons [in breach of the INF treaty], and Russia and the United States have limited themselves bilaterally,” President Putin said earlier today, according to the Financial Times.

“Now, apparently, our American partners believe that the situation has changed so much that the United States should have such a weapon. What is the answer from our side? Well it is simple: we will also do it then.”

The New Cold War sure looks a lot like the Old Cold War. But at least we have America’s best and brightest working on the problem. Right? Right?

So now he's a James Bond villain?

US has had laser weapons for a very long time... Russian dont have shit, that works.. They can't even keep their only aircraft carrier from sinking in the dock..

In fact the only reason Russia even has a seat at the military power table is because they have left over nukes from the USSR.. I mean for fucks sake Turkey shot down 2 of their aircraft and Russia dindo nuffins in response...

Yeah I noticed they didn't even show off the laser and have it blow shit up :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh moni from work

Russia is strictly in top 3 military countries in the world.
Together with US and China. And yes, NATO as military bloc is luckily still the strongest one in the world. Both military and economically.
Now, as for Russia - I would never underestimate them... They have:
a) tough people in general - history is the best example for that
b) some clever minds working for IT and military. always good in military equipment since decades. they even have their own navigation system, independent from GPS (glonass)
c) NUKES of course
d) very advanced and smart intelligence agencies. They sometimes fuck the things up, but its not only about actions like with Skripals. Its usually abo0ut propaganda, subversion, misinformation to win the war and weak the enemy sometimes without even shooting one shot. Russia Today and the army of RUS trolls working online everywhere is the best example for that.
e) politically not afraid and NOT undecisive to do quick covert actions, like sending commando here and there and so on.
f) also, its a country with HUGE reserrves of minerals like oil, gas, gold, diamonds and mnay others. also, huge (and cold) country in general. look at history of ww2 for example what does it mean. and if you combine it with a)....
So in my opinion you are totally wrong.

Putin reminds me of a white-washed version of rocket boy...

well if your country is ready to attack for 2 planes shot down and risk the military confilct with other military super powers (Turkey is a part of NATO bloc), than Im seriously afraid for the future of the world...

Bullshit

California's GDP is higher than Russia's, and that's just one American state.

read my post above carefully, try to understand it, and later post. i never called russia as economical power (except for their mineral reserves and smart minds).

MAGNA! make Amercika Great Again! China bad... TPP bad.. Puttty good..

This weapon for attack and aggression of course. Not for defense :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

I read it.

Your English comprehension could not translate my response effectively.

Let me restate a response and more simple way:

Russia's GDP is so low that you cannot maintain the world's 3rd largest military.

You basically have no Air Force

You have no Navy

You have lots of nukes, very very very old nukes most of which are not operational now and defective.

poland have combat horses, one horse

cavalry never attacked directly tanks in 1939. its a myth. they had this deadly and light anti tank weapon
