We all know by now that the American Government has accused Russian companies of sending advanced GPS jamming systems and anti-tank missles to Iraq. There was a press conference in the states, and it was stated
[[but have had “no effect” on military operations, Maj.-Gen. Renuart said. ]]

Down near the bottom, you can find this all over though, including CNN, so my point is, we know the American government, (any govt) is always sneaky on the way they say things, notice they aren't saying, that the systems don't work, just that they aren't stopping the military operation in Iraq. The US was shitting its pants over this, if this stuff was made by knuckle draggers in chili would the states care?

So is the equiptment working? Anyone know?

I havent heard this report myself but I have no doubt they are working. The American goverment would destroy itself before showing any weakness or frailty such as difficulty in combat against a country we are supposedly "superior over"

here is an interesting article from cnn, related to this

America using tricky words

Why don't you just say that America lies?!

Here is a topic for you to think on: Americans found a secret bunker near Basra. They first thought it was full of their favorite weapons of mass destruction but when they opened the crates - they saw it was filled with American and English-made rockets and other weaponry. And do these bastards still continue blaming Russia in selling weapons to Iraq?

Way to go off topic and talk about something else. Those weapons are old that they must of found in the bunker. Lets try to talk about these GPS blockers first, which, no doubt are causing major headaches, supposedly thanks to Russia.

Can't fight without GPS's? Well, oh well...life is a bitch...

I don’t think Kremlin has a lot of control over these private firms… The story was released by Washington to put pressure of Putin so he would stop bitching about the war. I doubt that Russian government was directly asked to look into the matter and the Russians government ignored the request.

Im all for carpet bombing. Die die die. But im just saying that that bunker thing was off topic.

[Mr. Smith]

No they do say the systems don't work. Thats why all the smart bombs except one have landed with pin point accuracy.

no they aren't saying that, they are saying that the systems have no effect on the war effort HUGE DIFFERENCE
