It's not even about the money being spent actually. The war is just a distraction for Russia. NATO will continue to sponsor it, bogging down Russia is their aim. The Su75 checkmate ought to make its maiden flight this year but it has been postponed till next year analysts believe the postponement came as a result of the sanctions on Russia cause Russia could not access the components needed for the stealth aircraft.

The only enemy NATO believes it has in Europe now is Russia they believe Russia's defeat will be a great achievement for them and something that would bring a lasting peace that would allow them to sleep with their two eyes closed so they believe sponsoring Ukraine is worth it. That's why the war will drag on I don't know if Ukraine will run out of personnel in the future and get tired let's watch how everything unfolds.


Hastings Ismay was the first Secretary General of NATO. When asked why NATO was founded, he famously said: NATO was founded to “keep the Soviet Union out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.”

The bold part is Hastings Ismay exact words. You can find it on NATO’s website over here: https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/declassified_137930.htm

NATO’s mission was to destroy the USSR. When the USSR was dissolved by Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia – the three main countries that formed it – NATO switched to destroying Russia, which is considered the successor of the USSR.

To understand Ismay Hastings statement, you have to go back to the late 1800s when Germany was about to overtake the UK and France (the then world powers), to become the dominant world power. The UK didn’t want that and created an alliance of the top 3 countries in the world. This was the UK-France-Russian alliance.

The US, which was also interested in overtaking the UK to become the world power, then instigated all sides to go to war. The result was WW1. The US became stronger and everyone else became weaker.

Germany attempted a comeback in WW2 and was defeated yet again. And yet again, everyone got weaker while the US got stronger.

The powerful US overtook the weakened UK to become a superpower. But the USSR was still powerful, so it remained a superpower and the only country capable of standing up to the US.

The countries that will later form NATO drew up war plans to invade the USSR in 1945 --- right after WW2 ended. They didn’t go on with the plan because their statistics indicated the USSR was impossible to defeat. So they decided to engage in proxy wars with the USSR instead. That’s what we saw throughout the Cold War and now in Ukraine.

That was the point of Ismay Hastings statement.

The point of NATO’s proxy wars is to politically weaken the USSR (and later Russia) and not to militarily weaken them. It is important that you understand this. So your statement on “bogging down Russia” as their aim isn’t applicable. NATO can’t bog down Russia.

The whole agenda behind NATO is to force countries to turn away from the USSR and Russia. For European nations with land routes to Russia, they will drag them into an alliance. And for everyone else, they will threaten, sponsor wars and coups, or sanction them when they get too close to the Russia.

That said, the Su-75 is a new jet and is unlike anything Russia or anyone else, has ever created. Weapons like this take decades to develop, and this jet looks like something Russia only started working on. They announced the project’s existence in 2020/2021 (I can’t remember which), but didn’t announce when exactly they started working on it.

Also, when you say “analysts believe the postponement came as a result of” --- What do you expect NATO analysts to say? Besides “believe” indicates it is an opinion and not a fact. And you guys should stop talking of Russia being unable to access western components in its military equipment.

Russia will never use western components in its military equipment. It doesn’t make sense for it to.

If it did, you think the US will refuse to sell? Selling those components to Russia is the easiest way to sabotage the jet, weaken the Russian air force, and make money off Russia – all in one stroke.

If the jet has a US-made microchip for instance, all the US needs to do in the case of a war is to press a few buttons from their end, and they will instruct the microchip to shut down the jet.

Or they could instruct it to send them an alert of the jet’s location.
Or they even instruct it to turn left when the pilot wants it to turn right.
Or maybe, they will instruct it to go straight down and slam into the ground.

So does it make sense that Russia will use an enemy component in its equipment? NO.

He withdrew from Kiev because his blitzkrieg failed and he couldn't supply his troops there

Foolish kids of nowadays that don't know history

Clowns forgot that Stalin invaded Poland from the East 6 days after Hitler invaded from the West in a deal that Stalin and Hitler made to partition the country. It was only 2 years later that Hitler attacked Stalin that Stalin left Poland. Hundreds of thousands of Poles had already been killed and deported to Siberia by then. That was then followed by decades of suffering, internments and mass deportations under Soviet system.

Na who wear shoe know where e dey pinch am. The Poles have been warning the EU of Putin's 1930s style of disregard for national sovereignty for decades, while Angela Merkel was cozying up to Russia and feeding the beast.

Russia uses foreign components on its civilian and military jets. Please do your research. Forensic analyst even saw western components like chips in Russian military jets downed over Ukraine. That doesn't make Russia a lesser technology power even US uses foreign chips too.

Chips are inspected for potential backdoors before being used on military equipment. It is a must to screen any foreign component before using them for your military so no one can control Russia's jet remotely as you have thought. Russia manufactures its own engines.

Russia isn't mass producing the Su75 now the prototype built was to fly and demostrate this year but it has been postponed till next year even United Arab Emirate that was part of the program has pulled out cause it felt the future of the aircraft isn't certain. If India pulls out too I am afraid to say that could be the end of the Su75 like the Su57/HALFGFA that India pulled out from.

In 1945, a group of Soviet students visited the US ambassador to the Soviet Union and gifted him a wooden seal of the US. The Americans checked the gift to ensure it didn't contain any spy device. They didn't find any and the ambassador hung it in his office.

One day, a British embassy employee saw the Soviets transmitting radio signals to the US ambassador office. He tuned on his radio to a similar frequency and suddenly heard Americans talking. He told the Americans what he discovered and the Americans started their own investigations.

They discovered the sound was coming from the wooden seal the students gave the US ambassador.

The Soviets at the time used a passive transmission device to spy on the ambassador. At the time, everyone used active transmission devices.

Active is when the spy device sends out signals. Passive is when an external device extracts those signals.

If the seal sent out signals, the Americans would have found out immediately. But instead, it only stored the conversations and an external device was used to extract that the recordings, allowing the Soviets to record the ambassador's conversations for 6 years.

What am I drawing out with this?

You can only find what you know.

You can only discover a backdoor if you know what backdoor to look for. If that backdoor happens to be a new technology like the stuff the Soviets put in that seal, you will never find it.

Think about it --- If a spy agency could develop something this sophisticated back in 1945, you can imagine what spy agencies have at their disposal today. So why do you think Russia will risk having western components in its jets?

If Russia wants to use US tech in its top weapon, you think the US will not spend lots of money to develop a new backdoor that Russia cannot detect?

They will. Russia knows this too, so the risk is too much for them.

Also, when you call the Su-57 a failed project, how many Su-57 does Russia even have? I searched online and the estimates vary from 3 to 74 --- all from your so-called Western analysts.

The funny thing is that these Western analysts claimed Russia had 74 as of 2021 but then switched to saying Russia had just 3 when the Ukraine war began in 2022. What does this tell you about the credibility of your Western analysts?

Also, you're being cunning when you say the UAE pulled out of the Su-75 program.

The UAE only began talks of joining the Su-75 program in January 2022 after pulling out of the F-35 deal with the US.

I researched your statement and couldn't find any reference to Russia and the UAE signing a deal. The only reference I found is that both countries started talks in January 2022, but somehow you claim a deal was signed and they then pulled out.

Talking of pulling out, everyone that claims the deal was canceled references an article from this US analyst called Maya Carlin. And this is the line where she mentioned that the deal was cancelled:

Furthermore, it appears that the United Arab Emirates has at least paused its involvement in the project, drying up a critical source of funding and R&grin.
https://www.19fortyfive.com/2023/05/su-75-russias-new-stealth-fighter-may-never-fly-thanks-to-ukraine-war/

In that statement she says, "It appears". Appears? Did it happen or not? Her statement is an opinion. And she didn't even mention how she arrived at the opinion. But you and everyone else started to pass off the opinion as a fact.

Propaganda happens when you mix facts with opinion.

To further prove your bias, you didn't say the UAE pulled out of the F-35 deal because the plane is wack and fat and can't do half of what the US claims it can do. But when the UAE "pulls" out of a "deal" (as you claimed) with Russia, you say it's because the plane is wack. How does that sound to you?

In that statement she says, "It appears". Appears? Did it happen or not? Her statement is an opinion. And she didn't even mention how she arrived at the opinion. But you and everyone else started to pass off the opinion as a fact.

Propaganda happens when you mix facts with opinion.

To further prove your bias, you didn't say the UAE pulled out of the F-35 deal because the plane is wack and fat and can't do half of what the US claims it can do. But when the UAE "pulls" out of a "deal" (as you claimed) with Russia, you say it's because the plane is wack. How does that sound to you?

. Russia has a chip factory it does not use any foreign component in it military manufacturing sector stop dreaming after the west propaganda.
lol so many foølish US zombies believe Russia is dependent on components from US or Europe to make anything in their military sector. Of course some minor components are sourced from elsewhere but thinking only it's only US that produces such components is just delusion and madness. Imagine thinking Russia needs anything from US for their tanks or other arms production. These people don't know Russia has almost whatever material she needs to produce anything grin
