On a lighter side, the impregnable Moscow was actually breached by a german named Mathias Rust.. in a cessna 172.
BBC News - Mathias Rust: German teenager who flew to Red Square

So perhaps the Americans really did overkill in Pakistan when a cessna was all that is was needed to break into Moscow.

MYTH

Rust crossed the Baltic coastline in Estonia and turned towards Moscow. At 14:29 he appeared on air defense radar and, after failure to reply to an IFF signal, was assigned combat number 8255. Three SAM divisions tracked him for some time, but failed to obtain permission to launch at him. All air defenses were brought to readiness and two interceptors were sent to investigate. At 14:48 near the city of Gdov one of the pilots observed a white sport plane similar to a Yakovlev Yak-12 and asked for permission to engage, but was denied.[

As you can see we could of blown him out of the sky if we want it too.

Could've , would've ,should've.. blame it on bureaucracy or dithering or pacifist idealism..
The man flew into what was considered one of the most impregnable air defense nets. What if that was an actual combat scenario?


P.S the article works against your bravado as it actually states that the Russian ADGE was totally under confusion and displayed total lack of co-ordination... the incident actually ended up undermining the reputation of the Soviet military.

Because Snowden isn't a terrorist?

Hassan Nissar was right.. "Pakistani are highly emotional."


blinded by emotions...


Abbotabad kind of operation can be executed in friendly countries (Paksitan, Yeman, KSA etc), not in enemy or neutral country. If OBL would have been hidden in India , USA wouldn't have done such operation ..


Pakistani emotion is so high that they equate terrorists with freedom fighter... Leave it..


Junk thread..

Multiple factors come into play:

1- US doesn't want to let go of a golden opportunity to cool things down with Moscow--at least on papers.

2- A raid like Abottabad would spark WW3. Abottabad is a nobody in the world map equal to a tier 3 or beyond level town which no one knows. Moscow whereas is known to the entire world and is the national capital of another world power.

Barging in with a helicopter through Russian air defence would be a suicide. While Rust in those good old Soviet days managed to sneak in due to confusion and absence of better technology, everyone in Russian Air Defence Force knows that no Russian flies a black dual-rotor Chinook in civilian configuration.

3- If Washington can offer something worth Snowden's price, there is still chance on the table. Any Rambo attempts would screw any chance and with the current red faced situation for US intelligence around the world, will garner more opposition at home.

A Chinese submarine managed to sneak in the most heavily guarded marine exercise of a USN CBG.

How?

It just happens sometimes.

Besides, Germany was divided in two parts.

Both looked the same and spoke the same language.

The Soviets would have thought that he was East German.

But no one else ever dared to breach their defences after him.
