The US is planning a special forces landing to destroy Russian spaceports.

20 180 27

Russian anti-satellite weapons are causing serious concern in the West, Forbes reports. The publication notes that military experts are particularly concerned about the Nudol system, whose effectiveness is acknowledged even by critics.

In a Forbes article, experts openly discuss possible ways to counter Russian systems. In particular, Victoria Samson, director of the Safe World Foundation, proposed a radical scenario: using American special forces to raid Russian spaceports and destroy the systems before launch.



A team of specially trained American special forces will be able to quickly destroy Moscow's nuclear anti-satellite weapon before launch and escape the scene before Kremlin commissars can stop the operation.

– Samson thinks.

It's worth noting that the A-235 Nudol is a multifunctional anti-missile and anti-space defense system. It is capable of engaging not only ballistic aerospace targets but also maneuverable manned and unmanned spacecraft.

As military experts explain, the system utilizes kinetic target interception without the use of specialized warheads: the munition is capable of destroying attacking missiles by colliding with them at extreme speeds.

It should be emphasized that the scenario proposed by Victoria Samson is a clear casus belli. Moreover, its feasibility by American special forces is seriously questionable.

    At least something is causing concern in the West, a couple hundred people. No amount of "Nudol" would be enough to counter the enemy satellite constellation. And no one in the Kremlin would dare do it; they couldn't even shoot themselves. And the feeling of "hopelessness" is growing.

        If he shoots himself, will the problem go away?
        By the way: why do we need American special forces if this job can be easily done by a... Ukrainian drone?
        Will someone in the Kremlin then shoot themselves out of shame?

        Why do you want Ales to "set an example"? Did he give $300 billion of the people's money to the enemy?

          Thanks, Andre, Daniel just wanted to throw in his two cents. It's unclear what kind of answer he was hoping for. And what's there to argue about?

          We now, at the very least, have nothing of the people's kind, it's beyond comprehension how many of these "people's" things these Western protégés have brought out, these 300 billion are a drop in the bucket

            According to presidential adviser Sergei Glazyev, a trillion dollars have been withdrawn from Russia over 30 years.

    What does this have to do with Russian spaceports and Nudol Koi missiles being air defense elements and located, in fact, around Moscow?

      I know a 78-year-old American who recently asked me why Russia so stubbornly clings to communist ideology. I and the others present (all Europeans) were so stunned that we all stared at each other, unsure what to say. You don't hear that from normal people in 2026. When he was told that Russia is a democratic country, like his homeland, he was shocked: does that mean everything I'd been taught my whole life was wrong?

        If my uncle is 78 years old, he should have lived through the collapse of the Soviet Union in his prime. Was he in a coma at that time?

        Although in principle it is clear that the level of political literacy of the average American is defined by everything that is not a carbon copy of their rabid neoliberalism as "LOLOLO COMMUNISM!!"

          As far as I know, Americans mostly live in a kind of coma. It's surprising to us, but normal to them. Another American friend, 40, believes that Russian police shoot whoever they want on the streets, just to intimidate the population.

    Our leaders won't be swayed by any kind of trickery, straight or curved. They certainly know how to respond to such "provocations."

    Now it's clear who is funding mass migration to Russia and why. Millions of migrant "special forces" will clear out the Strategic Missile Forces' positional areas in "living waves." Moreover, these migrant "special forces" are significantly cheaper than the $200 billion CENTCOM requested for Typhon in Europe and the Middle East, a preemptive strike against our strategic nuclear forces.

    Why waste the US's energy? Even if the Kremlin has Nudol, which is unclear, it's afraid to use it even in this case. Since it's constantly listening to Trump, he might be displeased. The Kremlin won't leave until it's driven the country into a dead end on all fronts with its indecisiveness and inaction. It has only one course of action: demagoguery at any opportunity.

      Since he's always looking at Trump's mouth, what if he's not happy?

      Yes, today, once again, they looked the master of the world in the eye. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that he does not expect a negative reaction from Washington to the possible meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

    Why do we need special forces? As long as Putin is at the wheel, they have nothing to worry about. Besides, haven't they heard our motto, "We can, but why bother?"

    Instead of American special forces, the Ukrainians will do a great job. Operation Spider Web was quite successful and went unanswered. The same will happen with the missile defense system, the early warning system, and the mobile complexes of the Strategic Missile Forces. By the way, both DAM and Mashenka Zakharova have already kept quiet about the red lines.

    OBP - "one woman suggested it", and here we have it all over the media.
    It means this:
    I propose seizing Elon Musk's Starbase spaceport and retrieving a Starship prototype for study of enemy technology! I'm particularly interested in their Raptor-3 methane engine.
    I am waiting for publications in the American media regarding our aggressive intentions. laughing

    Some woman blurted something out on social media, and blogger Andrei Elistratov, the author of this article, has already included this nonsense in the plans of the Pentagon and the CIA.

    The US is planning a special forces landing to destroy Russian spaceports.

    It's like Delta is already pushing its way to Plesetsk and Baikonur. The local bloggers love flashy headlines.

    We don't need Nudol, Oreshniks, Poseidons, Burevestniks, or other weapons unless they're used in a situation where your head is on the chopping block and the axe is already raised... A major war will definitely break out in a couple of years (when Europe is armed). Therefore, we need to "teach" the fascists NOW!! And it's not Kyiv and Lviv that should be under attack, but London and Paris with their industries...
