Don't know why they make it sound like the weapons are superior and my lack of knowledge is affecting my judgement about them.( They actually just mentioned it as I was typing this) I guess the bottom line is if Putin can see that he's going to lose does he believe the only way out is nuclear. I just wish they would quit talking about how improved those weapons are giving me potentially false impressions about how I think the outcome could be.
It depends on what you consider making them superior.
Take this video for example
At 0:05, you can see the SU-25 struck by an older Russian made Igla MANPAD (based in forward fuselage strike rather than rear quarter). Had this been a current version Stinger or Verba the plane would have been downed. Both the current MANPADS from both sides are very effective and are smart enough to avoid losing primary target to flares/decoy.
For man portable ATGM, the Javelin is very difficult to beat, especially since the Russians are rolling around in the exact tanks (late mod T72s and T80s) the missile was designed to kill.
Based on what you've been writing here, I can say the same thing about you.
go away troll
