CeeJee posted:After getting a few seconds of radar data the computer can predict perfectly where a ballistic missile will go and calculate an interception. You still need a lot of very advanced tech to do the interception successfully where every microsecond counts but no humans are needed for this. No one could manually do this anyway. Well maybe you couldn't. I would simply turn off my targeting computer and use the Force.

They CAN crack down on this because of all the other things that are happening. No judge or government official who wants to enjoy not being jailed is going to block or intervene on investigators that hunt down Russian collaborators and people who otherwise actively sabotage the government.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:I have a suspicion that if the rubber meets the road, China's army will also be exposed as a fairly big joke. By all accounts their soldiers are extremely poorly trained, a lot of their equipment is of dubious quality and the grift is wide-spread and massively ambitious. Of course they could still be the second most powerful military in the world, because large parts of the world have scaled back their militaries massively these past decades.

Deki posted:They're beefing up their navy but who fuckin knows what the quality of vessel/sailors are. They have, yeah, but one thing that people who seem to know more about modern naval combat than me are suspicious of are their blue water navy's actual combat capabilities, because they have very little to no institutional knowledge. Like they have a carrier (of sorts), yes. But they have very little to no experience in how carrier operations actually go in wartime. Does that mean their carrier is a complete non-factor? Probably not, but apparently the learning curve is very steep, and you can't really shortcut it. The common refrain I keep hearing is that China's military is mostly designed to bulk up their national spirit, suppress internal threats and dissidents, and to bully neighbours who are so far behind that them that even incredibly poorly trained conscripts using weapons with dubious quality control and fighting with questionable tactics are enough to make a point. But of course I'm also very much not eager to find out. War loving sucks, and the less we have of it, the better.

The world has seen how massive corruption can rot a country out with russia now. Ukraine is right to push anti corruption and more importantly, actually do it, if they want to have security after this war ends.

Have a look at grimreapers on YouTube, they do a bunch of naval warfare setups in DCS which, while not real, gives a decent idea of what it's like.

Once again we in the US can only wag our finger while doing awful poo poo. Good on Ukraine though for becoming a better government/ country for it's people, you know what government is actually supposed to do?

TulliusCicero posted:Ukraine fighting corruption to join NATO/ EU is a loving farce when the loving head of NATO is one of the most deeply corrupt governments on the planet with a Supreme Court bought and paid for. Well, yeah, there's probably no Government that isn't in some way corrupt. Like outside of straight up bribes and gangster behaviour there's Boys Clubs and nepotism and corporate interests. But there's "corruption" and then there's corruption as far as Western governments are concerned. EDIT: I'm not trying to engage in Whataboutism here or apologise for the failings of Western Governments, just saying that we're not talking about the same kinds or level of corruption here.

Raytheon management enjoys enormous salaries and bonuses from big deals and spend their money on summer houses in US while post-soviet military development is seven layers of washing budgets through shady contractors and rushing to cash out with skimmed money and buy a villa in Italy

NATO probably don't give a gently caress as long as you spend your 2% of GDP on military poo poo. The economic integration that comes with EU membership is far more likely to require serious efforts to reduce corruption, although looking at some EU members you have to wonder if they care that much about it.

So we keep posting r/NCD posts here. I thought I'd start sharing some curated posts so that people can get the better stuff in without having to sift through their junk memes and Rule 34 posts. Will link videos to spare peoples' ears and whatnot. Posting with titles if they're relevant. If people hate it or mods don't like it, I won't do it anymore. Current Events video: "This has aged like fine wine" (minor  for language): https://www.reddit.com/r/NonCredibleDefense/comments/13iatbv/this_has_aged_like_fine_wine/ (video by David Firth)"The only reason why we know about Prigozhin offer is that the deal is already done"     Military Posting: "Romania pulled its last Mig-21 Lancers out of service today"  "Okay hear me out. What if we modernized the Bob Semple"  From the comments: quote:Here's what ChatGPT came up with: Coquito Ergo Sum fucked around with this message at 12:17 on May 16, 2023 |

CannonFodder posted:There is nothing that symbolizes the US Military Complex This is dumb. You seem to be implying that making an effective missile defense even better is "MIC Capitalism", which I assume means lazy and lovely? TulliusCicero posted:Ukraine fighting corruption to join NATO/ EU is a loving farce when the loving head of NATO is one of the most deeply corrupt governments on the planet with a Supreme Court bought and paid for. Everyone is in some form corrupt, but what people say when they talk about Ukraine's corruption reforms is that Ukraine was insanely corrupt on a whole 'nother level. Also NATO doesn't impose corruption reform, that's the EU.

Supposedly the largest terror bombing attack on Kyiv to date and Ukraine claims that not a single bomb got through. That's pretty impressive results. Guess that takes another huge piece of leverage that Russia had away. We can ship a lot more Patriot missiles and Gepard ammo than they can poo poo out Iranian drones and cruise missiles.

Some copelords are saying one possibly empty launcher was hit but there's no evidence for that so far other than some flashes in the night city. Could be anything. In any case I'm sure Raytheon would be more than happy to make a few more of those.
