Russia is seizing hundreds of commercial jets owned by US and European leasing companies, a further sign of the challenges the country’s airline industry faces due to sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine.
They aren’t a superpower. This would imply the ability to project power across the planet. And right now, Russia is struggling at the ends of it’s own rail lines. And how many aircraft carriers do they have? Zero.
They are nuclear armed, but I doubt if they can maintain 1% of their arsenal given the corruption and neglect evident in the rest of their military. They do love blowing money researching old-fashioned “super weapons,” ala Hilter’s last days. But they can’t afford more than the demo model. Or the clean up when they splash isotopes all over their own lands when one blows up in testing. Meanwhile, America, the real superpower, is on to 21st century tech.
Putin’s nuclear powered, nuclear tipped, nuclear flavored wet dream? That’s so pedestrian. We’re living in the future, not a 1950s pulp novel. And again… they can’t even maintain their conventional forces. It’s highly dubious they’ll be able to support more than the demo, or even that, as was the case with the Buran.
There’s room for you, Yogi. Join the rest of us and live in peace. There’s some real issues we all need to deal with. Pull your head out of your ass and deal with the real existential threats we all face.

You’re an ignoramus with an axe to grind. There’s no point trying to correct your nonsense. Go read up on hypersonic weapons though.

It’s so pedestrian that US can’t make them. Here’s some more pedestrian stuff US can’t produce https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status-6_Oceanic_Multipurpose_System

Lol. Can’t or already has complete domination? I love to root for the underdog, but come on, Russia isn’t even in the same league.
meanwhile in the real world https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/20/hypersonic-technology-us-behind-china-russia-523130
Yep, that’s why Russia is getting spanked by a nation the size of Nebraska. It’s good to dream, but don’t quit your day job.
I’d love to visit the alternate universe you inhabit one day.
