The Russian weapons are rumoured to be based on magnetohydrodynamics, in short wrapping the aircraft within a bubble of plasma that order air to move around, thus acting as an omnidirectional propellor. Hence "Speed, altitude & maneuverability".
- Someone 8y ago“The US agrees” may not be that much of a confirmation. Thing is, the military industrial complex wants to portray enemies as stronger, as it is the way to get larger military budgets. Examples from history are the bomber and missile gaps of the cold war (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomber_gap https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomber_gap, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missile_gap https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missile_gap) and Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction.

We’ll probably only learn what the USA really thinks of this threat decades from now.
