C.M. Kruger posted:He didn't actually do all that much on the F-16 design as I recall anyways. IIRC he's actually got a background in statistics and was a MacNamara "Whiz Kid" rather than a aeronautical engineer, and now apparently makes his living claiming to have created the F-16 and A-10 while collecting royalties from a Kanye West song that sampled some of his jazz music. I've always liked F-18s, but at the same time I always thought 'why do we have them when we have awesome F-14s?'

^Once it got off the deck it was vastly superior to the legacy hornet, and only slightly less superior to the SH. It's all the time and money in between, though.  Omi-Polari posted:I went on her sister ship, complimented some officers on how clean it was (and yes, it was very clean) and they seemed very pleased about that. Jesus, that sits even higher than I thought. Godholio fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Apr 25, 2015 |

So is sniping going to be like firing an ATGM in the future? Like you just keep your aim on the target and fire and the munition takes care of the rest? Sorry if this sounds stupid, I'm a civilian.

Only if the cost is driven down enough for it to be feasible to any country but the United States, because we literally hurl money at poo poo like that.

From what I've read so far the DARPA one is supposed to be fire and forget while a competing design is laser-guided.

So now terrorists are going to be wandering the desert in loving thermal coats. Or, better yet, it's a camera-object designation. I'm guessing that it's not independently propelled so it course corrects with like fins and poo poo. I'm the misidentified scarecrow riding a camel at 200m

I just took the navy test. There was this logic puzzle about lighthouses and I know I got the answer wrong, but if there's a boat crash I'm raising the alarm.

 A soldier, left, accompanies Lami Musa, 27-years old, after she was released from captivity from Boko Haram.The first group of nearly 300 Nigerian girls and women released from captivity by Boko Haram were brought by the military to the safety of a refugee camp in the country's northeast Saturday evening. (AP Photo/Sunday Alamba) I like the contrast of the soldier in the back in a uniform with new stuff, and the guy in front wearing a t-shirt and an AK covered in string.
