never went into service.
Sindoc,
You'll find that the Tupolev144 was & probably still is in service albeit not in supersonic mode.

Indy,

I think the last time the 144 flew was about 1976, 36 years ago. Yes it did have about 100 plus domestic (face saving) flights but never entered service as an international competitor to the Concord which is what it was built for.

Not the point though really. I just used that as an example of the long and varied history of thieving the data and intellectual properties of others.

If we somehow think that it is not done by every government we have rocks in our heads.

There exists a global infrastructure of direct, aligned and private data thieves. They steal government, military, commercial, social, research, political, financial and personal data. It is getting bigger, more sophisticated, more profitable and more intrusive by the hour.

There is also an entire on-line industry making money out of it by constructing and posting CT’s on the internet.

So for the likes of Arjay, who can’t accept that this is a huge global industry that spawns profiteering, even from those gullible enough to froth at the mouth over CT’s, there is only one question, what does one get out of it?

Arjay,
Rawmustard is almost certainly correct in that real defense data
is not connected to the internet.
Why could they not communicate without the internet ?
The internet is not all there is, it is just one network. the largest
but not the only network. There could be dozens of worldwide networks.

Rawmustard,if the establishment were going to use military hacking as a way of internet censorship,this story would be all over our corporate media.The Pentagon is obiviously embarrassed by it as witnessed by it's silence on the matter.

The US and Israel have now again turned their attention to Syria and Iran.They seem to be doing deals with Russia over Syria the Chechyn terrorist false flag in Boston.Russia may well betray Syria.

These Oligarchs be they Russian,Western or Chinese, are all consumed with power lust that is taking us to the brink of extinction.Our criminal Banking,Military,Industrial Complex is by far the worse.
