Eagl beat me to the punch... Did russian news not mention those facts in eagl's post Boroda, or do you just conveniently omit them from your posts?

Once again, Boroda proves that what he reads in Pravda isnt quite the truth.  Poor Baghdad Boroda  :)

btw, that shot was setup so that the warhead was pretty much deadstick at the top of its trajectory, waiting for the sat to ram it.
So yeah, almost as good flying as yours Furball :D

In Soviet Russia, you don't blow up satellite. Satellite blow up you!

Kinda makes you wonder if the Sat was actually a threat or if we just wanted to make a point here?

                          A USN DD shoots down a satellite with a SM-3 wasnt it? Kinda sounds like a statement to me.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

I am not so sure - it was in low earth orbit.  Other nations have already proved they can take them out at ranges far greater.

It is kinda akin to making a statement by buzzing aircraft carriers in your propellor driven bombers when the opposition has B-2s, you may think you are great, but everyone else thinks it is pointless and amusing.
