Sadly- The Russians have very good rocket folks who've designed previous motors for rockets, that exceeded even the best US designs for GENERATIONS.We can't build a proper AK rifle in this country, yet, the Russians and former Soviet block have been building them since WW2.
The USA is behind on that research in most areas- but exceed the russians in testing and perfecting motor tests. In the past- Russians would build the entire rocket to test and they would self destruct, Just like they are now- from the videos posted. In the US- we test the rocket motors MANY more times before they ever get a full assembly test. THat's why we were able to get to the moon first, and likely why our catch-up on the current motor tech will be a shorter curve than what is proposed.
Literally when missiles are blowing up on the launch pads-, the Kremlin usually scraps them when enough destruct- the US just figures out what the fuck went wrong and then do a redesign or figure it out.
Work the problem people.- NASA mentality.
We cannot let them get perfected technology ahead of the US in this area. Originally Posted by eyecu2

On the other hand, I play with Night Vision, and I have used Soviet designs, and compared to modern US tech, they are decades behind us in that technology.
You don't understand "We control the night" until you experience the tech differences between us and them.
As for Nukes, they were never REALLY off the table, just not talked about.
