You had a reasoned answer?
The US Defense Department openly admitted that it would not be possible to lanch military satellites without Russian missile engines. With replacing them with others, the US military risks losing in the carrying capacity of missiles and money.
The US authorities for the first time officially recognized that without deliveries of Russian missile engines the country can not launch military satellites in the interests of national security. This statement was made against the backdrop of ongoing disputes over the need to purchase RD-180 engines, which are used in the first stage of the Atlas V.
WHY do "the chosen people" by engines in Russia???
WHY does NASA use Russian spacecrafts to deliver American astronauts to the International Space Station?
WHY did the missile technology in America started to develop ONLY AFTER the WWII when the leading German specialists on jet propulsion were forcefully relocated to America?
WHY WERE Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombed by the GERMAN WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION?
WHY did the Americans allow the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor?
WHY did the US special services not arrest Muslim terrorists before the attack on the twin towers?
WHY did the Americans fail in Vietnam, and now are failing in Afghanistan?
WHY are more than 40 million Americans living in poverty?
WHY did 18 percent of American adults last year experience hunger due to a lack of money for food?
WHY are there so many political adventurers and clowns in America ???
