I saw the news article where they said it had never been done before... never been done by the U.S.A maybe, China did this succesfully some months ago.

Incorrect. Both the Russians and the USA have conducted successful ASAT tests in the 1980's. Way before China. Actually, this would be a much greater technological capability demonstrated by the USA due to the fact that it is being conducted from a deployed tactical sea-based mobile platform. The USA already did what China did a couple of decades ago. More than once even. |
Well, then the news article is probably a CNN piece ^^ who else would make things up and say they are news ^^ If this is also the case, why are people specualting as to its results??? after all, as you say, its already a done deal.

While I can't speak for actual depths, I don't see Russia's new subs outdiving their American counterparts. The days of the Titanium hulled subs are over for Russia. While I'll never know the actual depth, 250m sounds a little shallow for an American nuke. |
Both of these statistics are from newly launched or freshly commisioned Submarines. If the americans can go greater than 250M and the Russians cant go down to 450m, then someone is lying. which one is it? I'm only re-iterating the documentaries... can you supply more information please?
