And after that you called yourself free, yeah. US just not worth to be the part of civilized world, and you teach your children SUCH history, wow, great. Ok, I know that your educational system is crap, and produce only idiots, but now.., wow, lie about ww2, lie about history of other countries, oh, what now? Maybe US invented gunpowder, guns, wheel, and Roman Empire was actually american? Can your children count integral, differential or doesn't know what is it? Do you know what is Teory of Systems, Theory of Relativity? Yeah, I forget that your goverment only wants idiots, who can be easily controlled. And after that you pretend to be the best? New alliances are forming, new superpowers are creating, you are just not worth to exsist. Country, who prefer write lie for their history, country, who can't give proper education to it's children, country, who thinks that others are nothing must be annihilated. I don't want to argue with such idiot, which "knowledge" based on lie.

Communism is an economic system more than anything. This is like asking how could America be capitalist when it's also a democratic republic.
Best according to who?
Comunism is where the people control the government, in russia stalin controlled the people = dictatorship.
America country controlled by companies= capatilism.
To the world even the US agree its the best, the fact is that it does a better job than ANY missile in the world.
The us tried to aquire it but failed, the russians wouldnt sell them it.

In pure communism, people live for the community. I'm not sure if that's quite the same as a government by the people.
Either way, that's PURE communism. It's the final phase of communism. A dictatorship is how they go about trying to get it.
America isn't controlled by companies. It's controlled by a democratic repubic.
Does a better job? Against who? Untested equipment isn't impressive.
America trying to buy a missile doesn't make it the best. It's hardly an acknowledgement as such. It's useful to know what your enemies can do.
I know Russia, the KGB, the Communist party, and the increadable freedoms and truth within the Russian boarders have historically been of a superior nature compared to the rest of the world....NOT.
You seem to still have a more than few textbooks lying around your schools from the Soviet Union days, and seriously, they were filled with lies. Either that or you are Russian intelligence of some sort trying to disinform yourselves,,,again... And kidding yourselves is all you can do here.
Grow up and get a brain.

22/06/1944 The Russian summer offensive, operation 'Bagration' begins against Army Group Centre in Byelorussia with assaults by the Soviet 1st Baltic, 3rd Belorussian 2nd and 1st Belorussian Fronts against Army Group Centre on a 450 mile front between Polotsk and Bobruysk. Soviet forces amount to 124 divisions, 1,200,000 men, 5,200 tanks, 30,000 guns and 6,000 aircraft. Against this, the German can field just 63 divisions, including 900 tanks and 10,000 guns. The Luftwaffe launches a surprise night raid (60 aircraft) on the US 8th Air Force's shuttle base at Poltava in the Ukraine, destroying 44 B-17s and 500,000 gallons of fuel.
19/06/1944 A violent storm in the English Channel wrecks the U.S. Mulberry Harbour at St. Laurent (Omaha Beach). 20 allied divisions now oppose 16 German in Normandy.
Now, although you don't know russian or consider our information as lie, you can try to get some facts from Brittanica(well, our interests crossed sometimes and some numbers are different), Wikipedia, or other respectable source, about OnWar site, in XIX russian army do not exceed 900,000, and are not concentrated in one place, in asian wars took part from 100,000 to 200,000 soldiers(vary from war to war), not 1,400,000. About situation in Europe in XIX century you can read here(just shows you what was world in that years and what powers exists):
And now, you claim that eastern/western front=50/50, well, here link:
Korean war statistics published on ats somewhere, declassified sources said that there are 6,000 russian were in conflict area(military advisors, pilots, civilian services, medics), only 16 died(3 from diseases), you've talked about hundreds of killed russian pilots - provide your sources to ensure that they are reliable, maybe I wrong, but I don't think so.
Tallying a final death toll in the clandestine Soviet-American air war is difficult. The Russian public was told that deaths were due to �strange diseases.� Concealment was paramount, as burial in a remote Port Arthur cemetery attests to.
In Alien Wars, authors Gen. Oleg Sarin and Col. Lev Dvoretsky cite 110 planes lost and 319 pilots killed. Other sources say 345 aircraft were downed with 200 pilots dead. Still other accounts claim total Soviet casualties of 299, including non-pilots (AAA gunners were killed in raids). B-29 gunners claim credit for 16 MiG-15s shot down while F-86s destroyed 792 MiGs. How many had Soviet pilots in the cockpit is anyone�s guess.
On the American side, the count is even more controversial. During the Korean War, the U.S. Air Force sustained 1,198 deaths in combat. Of these, 968, or 80%, were fighter pilots. Some 112 of them were F-86 pilots, the most likely to engage the Soviets in MiG Alley. Sixteen B-29 bombers were downed by enemy fighters and four by anti-aircraft fire.
Historian Jon Halliday, who has conducted extensive research into this matter, asserts that virtually all the American airmen perished as a result of Soviet action.
Whatever the case, no one can any longer deny the identity of the adversary. Lt. Gen. Otto P. Weyland, head of FEAF after June 1951, boasted that he was the only U.S. Air Force commander who ever fought the Russians.
Indeed, President Harry Truman wrote in an April 1954 memo: �In Korea, we whipped the Russian air force.�
In this war, America emerged with the upper hand. Lt. Gen. Georgi A. Lobov, commander of the Soviet 64th Air Defense Corps, conceded defeat. �We could not overcome the Americans in the air,� he said. �We had only fighters and AAA.�
A postscript to this hidden conflict further confirms the deadly aerial duels in MiG Alley. In September 1998, the U.S.-Russia Joint Commission on POW/MIA Affairs brought together five American pilots and six Russian representatives to help locate the remains of 45 Soviet pilots lost over North Korea.
Meeting in Virginia, one of the U.S. pilots, former F-86 Sabre jet wingman 2nd Lt. William E. Brown Jr., of the 4th FIG, remarked: �I found it eerie. I spent 34 years in the Air Force preparing to fight these people. Then I found myself sitting across the table from them.�
Now about weapons, we are both have outstanding toys, just sometimes we are both underestimate them, well, on this forum russian weapons are understimated more, and american ones are overestimated - well it's ok - still this is english-speaking forum.
Leading Solomon opposition politician Alfred Sasako described the AusAid remarks as "insensitive and deeply insulting".
"How can you be so sure when you are flying at an altitude of between 500 feet (150 metres) and 1,000 feet?" he said referring to the height of the Australian surveillance aircraft.

It blasted the islands with winds estimated to have reached 350 kilometres per hour (220 mph).
Obeying her new orders with alacrity, the USS Abraham Lincoln slipped her mooring in Gage Roads off Fremantle on 28th December, and headed ponderously out to sea. When well clear of the local shipping lanes, she changed course and headed directly towards the Persian Gulf. And while CVN72 sailed steadily north through the Indian Ocean on her deadly mission for Zion, Cyclone Zoe started to go completely berserk in the Pacific, increasing spin velocity to impossible figures, and changing course for the small Solomon island of Tikopia.
US Navy web site��In June 1998, Abraham Lincoln commenced her fourth deployment, spending three months in the Arabian Gulf during the hottest summer on record.
���The crew then began a nine-month Interdeployment Training Cycle (IDTC) before participating in RIMPAC 2000, a multinational exercise conducted off the Hawaiian Islands. RIMPAC completed the IDTC and prepared the ship for deployment to the Arabian Gulf. During deployment, the ship spent more than 100 days on station supporting Operation Southern Watch and maritime interception operations.
In April 2001, the ship moved to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for a scheduled Planned Incremental Availability period. Completing PIA in October, Abraham Lincoln began workups for its next operational cycle. In July 2002, the ship and air wing deployed to support Operations Enduring Freedom and Southern Watch. On the way, Abe visited Sasebo, Japan; Hong Kong, China; Singapore, and Bahrain.
���The deployment turned out to be anything but routine, as the normal six month rotation became a record-setting, extended 10 months. After providing support to OEF and OSW, the Abraham Lincoln paid a much deserved port visit to Perth, Australia. It was then that the determination was made to return to the northern stretches of the Arabian Gulf where the entire carrier battle group and airwing helped deliver the opening salvos and air strikes in Operation Iraqi Freedom. A total of 16,500 sorties were flown during that 10 months, and 1.6 million pounds of ordnance were used during OIF, on top of 265.118 pounds expended during support of OSW and OEF.
���Upon arrival in Pearl Harbor, the ship had logged 102,816 nautical miles. Before steaming into San Diego, the deployment was culminated by a visit by the Commander-in-Chief, President George W. Bush, who welcomed the crew home for a job well done.
On May 28, 1991, Abraham Lincoln made its maiden deployment nearly four months ahead of schedule in response to Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm
