I thought there was a gif of someone trying to shoot one and it breaks after 4 shots and sends rounds everywhere or something. Can't find it, though.

The new weapon system will consist of four transporter erector launchers (TEL), each installed on a modified M870 40-ton trailer, and command posts. The Army is aiming to get the first long-range hypersonic weapon experimental prototype by the fiscal year 2023. The new land-based, truck-launched system should be armed with hypersonic missiles that can travel well over 3,800 miles per hour.

That is cool as hell, but how do we make sure enemies or even non fighting nations who are adversaries, don’t think it’s a nuclear weapon being launched?

I mean I know we don’t operate any nuclear GLCMs anymore, although we could if we wanted too, but I thought that was something the Bush administration had identified as a problem with prompt global strike proposals?

Clock is running down for the Armenians, And by clock, I mean armor reserves.

Defensionem posted:

Armenia has lost 54 tanks in just over three weeks (out of a total of 139).
Those huge losses include 42 tanks destroyed in combat and 12 tanks captured by the Azeris.

The list of (confirmed) captured tanks is as follow:
T-72A: 4 units (081, 617, 721, 0?4)
T-72AV: 3 units (909, ?, ?)
T-72B: 4 (096, 614, 901, 902)
T-72B1: 1 (094)

Those losses are obviously not sustainable. They are mainly down to Azerbaijan superior ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance) capabilities.

Azerbaijan has also suffered grievous losses. But working out a total is difficult as Baku doesn't communicate on those matters. In any case, the Azeri army started this war with a numerical advantage over the Armenian one: They had 665 tanks in their arsenal before the start of the conflict

Armenia claims to have destroyed 368 Azeri tanks in total. This figure is to take with a pinch of salt: As Yerevan hasn't published any "kill" figures for APCs and IFVs, our assessment is that the 368 total accounts for (estimated) Azeri "armoured vehicles" (tanks+IFVs+APCs) destroyed.

I think the idea is that it flies low enough that the satellite based launch detection doesn't see it and fast enough that if any other radar sees it it's already too late

This is a good question. I wish there was a good answer for it other than "they're just going to have to trust us."

And yes, it was a *big* problem, especially considering one of the original PGS proposals was using conventional/kinetic warheads launched from Trident D5s. The other was hypersonic cruise missiles, but the tech just wasn't quite there. Now we've got the W76-2 which is arguably worse because 'small' nukes just become all the more attractive and feasible an option as conventional munitions keep scaling upward in yield and precision.

They wouldn't need satellite-based launch detection, they'd just need someone within 50-100 miles of the launch site with binoculars and a cell phone.

True. I’m just wondering how far they think they can go, one province or run the table, regardless of their larger goals.

I think if Turkey gets involved the Armenians will have a whole hell of a lot more to worry about than an occupation or a puppet government

Poles find a leftover Tallboy in the middle of a shipping channel (it was dropped during a raid on the German heavy cruiser Lutzow, which sank in shallow water and kept being used as a static battery) and try to defuse it. Or rather, they try to ignite the explosive fill in such a way as to have it deflagrate rather than detonate.

Here's how that went:
