Each will cost 100 times more than usual per individual cartridge but comes with some silicon bits from a genuine Nvidia GPU ground up and embedded in the round. Or in the powder. Wherever we can sprinkle them really. Wi-fi enabled bullets. (The bullets need a connection to check back to the company servers that there's a valid subscription to the service when they're fired. If they can't find one, or there's no wireless signal, the propellant cuts out, and the bullet plops to the ground.)

On the other hand, the Iraqi war sent Chinese military and US MIC development to two opposite directions. The Chinese probably didn't hear about the Iraqi generals being brought off until much later.

“It’s pretty clear that Britain’s arms merchants did a great deal to fan periodic outbreaks of hysteria over the “dreadnought gap” – for example, Vickers leaking the absurdly false claim that the Krupp Works had over 100 heavy guns and the turrets for them ready to emplace on new German dreadnoughts. When politicians or journalists suggested that the Royal Navy buy into service the dreadnoughts under construction in British yards for foreign navies, suddenly either the ships became unsuitable for British use, or the urgency became less, or both. The arms makers wanted it both ways – to take in foreign purchase orders, with their padded budgets and inflated profits, yet still receive the massive flow of government orders with their guaranteed financing. And pretty much, they got their way.” Simpler times

Finally, low casualty lopsided technowars of total annihilation. The USSR is gone, the world is at our feet, we have the secret formula to dominate everything, don't fret when little glitches or mistakes in the formula pop up every now and again, we just have to stick to it.

skooma512 posted:I've noticed all the pictures coming from the Red Sea are of F/A-18s launching, no F-35s. Are they just not using them or are they using them and not depicting them in the media? The Navy is slowest to field F-35s, between USAF, USMC, and USN. There is only one active navy F-35 squadron, another currently in transition to F-35. Those have been deploying to the Pacific rather than off the eastern seaboard. So the Eisenhower has F/A-18E/Fs for strike fighters, not any F-35s.

Since the topic of new arctic shipping route came up in this thread, I just thought of something. What if Yemen's harassment to Red Sea shipping doesn't stop in the near future? What if this is not a temporary issue that the US can take care of in the next x months? Is it that big of a deal that the shipping cost via Suez will be doubled from now on? It doesn't concern Asia-US shipping, it only concern Asia-Europe shipping, and you can supplement it with tran-eurasian railway and the new Arctic shipping to Northern Europe. Maybe we can frame this geopolitical event as another milestone of the continental powers taking more control of global trade route away from the oceanic powers? Also those loving 737 Max planes, just turn them into Temu shipping cargo planes. It's safer to everybody.

So this shell the size of like a monster energy drink can contains a seeker head, a computer, and some kind of non-fin control surfaces that aren't in the render and it isn't getting target data from the gun or ship via data link or anything like that, it's all supposed to be onboard So it's got to be like optical/ir imaging and then fairy dust to steer it? I wonder what the unit cost on these is going to be lol

Natoland isn't going to normalize russia-nato train transport of any sort, even once russia wraps up the ukraine war (whenever that happens) russia-rest of asia train transport is getting enormous amounts of investments though.

cat botherer posted:Is there like a gyro in there or something? That's the only thing I can think of. That or some sort of active surface flap that can actuate really fast, given the size it's actually a good question how the hell they're doing it if not just lying. You'd have to operate at a really high frequency to accommodate the spin of the projectile The effect on target must be pathetic though since you're basically chucking a cell phone's worth of poo poo at someone crammed in a tiny package

There's like 5 declassified f35 navy squadrons, and between usmc/navy at least 3 active on carriers. The planes cost a small fortune to repaint, they're not gonna operate them in corrosive environments (salt water) where the "enemy" has no air power and virtually no anti air capability. The F35 is a popular internet hate target, but the amount of power this engine generate (electricity) is insane. The US believes modern air power is about electronics and information, not agility and speed.

How useful is all those EW systems and datalinks if that thing is sitting below decks? The criticisms that the F-35 gets are greatly warranted, and I don't think the reports on their combat readiness are just to lull the enemy either. As for a guided 57mm shell, I guess the target is suppose to be drones and small water craft but even then both are not easy to tag especially if you are doing it with a small warhead. You pretty much need direct hits.
