BearsBearsBears posted:Would love to see any documentation of on the comparative costs of using each type (instead of just acquiring the system). I can't find any myself. I'm reasonably sure there's one in Brassley's Land Systems' volume on Guns, Mortars and Rockets. Solid fuel rockets and their launchers were cheaper than guns and shells. They could both be made from sheet metal, for example. Some systems immediately post-war were the poor man's field artillery, similar to large calibre mortars, and were widely used by China and the USSR But that's night and day compared to what rocket artillery means, and how much it costs, today.

Arguably one element is going to be accuracy unless you start getting into more precise munitions and the cost is going to go up by quite a bit.

FirstnameLastname posted:an assembly line for towed artillery will always be smaller and less resource intensive compared to a line for sp artillery so when scaled up the towed artillery is always going to have the highest potential volume of fire per cost to manufacture It was supposed to be a syq but I do appreciate the rebuttal regardless

I understand one of the big takeaways from this war was that towed guns are much easier to hide from drones. Probably better servicablity than these modern truck mounted systems too, for starters if the towing vehicle is damaged you can just get another one, it's not particularly specialized. poisonpill posted:got a good source? https://static.rusi.org/403-SR-Russian-Tactics-web-final.pdf RUSI report from around May last year.

isn’t chip production going to explode sometime in the next five to ten years as all the China efforts come online? I know there were lots of Western stories about how China will only ever be able to make simple whatever size chips (due to their feeble communist ingenuity) but they keep blowing past estimates and it’s clearly a strategic priority they are investing in. I have wondered if some basic assumptions of the electronics and computer industries may change when China is flooding out product. There has been supply manipulation to maintain or increase prices that the Chinese seem unlikely to bother with. They’ll just keep amping up production. That would impact many things

Yeah we are going to see a few things hapening in the next few years (even without a new war). The continued effort of shrinking semiconductors is near its physical limit. So the progress of making faster and faster top end GPU SOC will slow down; the current unified global semiconductor R&D will be split, this decouple process will also slow down future R&D. And China will flood the market with low tier and mid tier semiconductor products which no doubt will push TSMC and Samsung out of the low end, and squeeze them slowly out of mid tier and stay to high end market. Kind of a repeat of the phone market pie, just replace Apple/Galaxy phones with TSMC/Samsung fabs. And I think the situation of more expensive high end silicon will encourage the electronic market design more peripheral gadgets to replace some of the functions in the phone. Also a lot of new cheap gadgets because China is going to look for ways to make more gadgets.

Imagine if they built some boats? I would say it's in part that Albion was happy to leave Australia in the hands of ranch and mine owners who weren't particularly interested in things like "a state" or "state spending" or "industry", right? Though that ties into self sufficiency, as you said. It suited British industrialists just fine that an Australian ruling class invested in resource extraction resisted industrialization. Sort of like the relationship British industrialists had with Argentine ranchers? DJJIB-DJDCT has issued a correction as of 18:03 on Apr 1, 2024 |

Delta-Wye posted:imagine learning all the wrong lessons from the battle of kursk from the losers and the haters, distilling it for two generations, and then loving it up all over again a few miles down the road 80 years later What confuses me is that the Americans broke up each one of the ferocious German armoured counter attacks thrown at them: El Guettar, Gela, Salerno, Anzio and Arracourt. So, even if the scale of the armoured attacks in Russia was larger, the Americans therefore defeated the 10th Panzer Division, 21st Panzer Division, 1st Fallschirm-Panzer Division Hermann Göring, and 11th Panzer Division, which were each as good or better than most of the units the US would subsequently idolize for fighting in Russia. In the Battle of the Bulge, the Americans defeated practically all of the famous Waffen SS formations: LSSAH, 12th SS, Das Reich, 9th SS Panzer plus Panzer Lehr. Who are the mythical German formations worth idolizing the Americans didn't defeat by war's end? Großdeutschland?

China’s exports to the Global South doubled during the past three years and China now exports more to the South than to developed markets. China’s unprecedented exporting success, in turn, stems from the rapid automation of Chinese industry, which now installs more industrial robots per year than the rest of the world combined.
