Assuming we didn't manage to destroy them all, is it feasible to park a CAP over a nation like the DPRK to shoot down their ICBMs in the boost phase with AAMs?
>>64726284That was essentially the YAL-1, where once you’ve raped enemy AD and air assets you have a couple of jumbo jets with turbolaser as a nose cone. But iirc the chemical laser in that thing was just too inefficient back in the 2000’s, I’m sure locksneed will cook up something again in the next decade or so.
>>64726284No need. That's what the US/Jap/Korean AEGIS destroyers are literally for.
>>64727300SM-3 can't hit ICBMs in the boost phase or at apogee, they're for theater defense. In other words, an Aegis cruiser around Korea couldn't protect the continental US from a nork ICBM, but one off the west coast or in the north Atlantic could protect most of the country. GBI is probably fast enough for boost phase interception of most ICBMs, but it's too long to fit in the Navy's Trident-derived hypersonic payload tubes.
>>64726284The old multi-stage liquid fuel ICBMs lifted off the pad extremely slowly and built speed slowly. Height was best use of fuel not early velocity because the designs were max Q (dynamic air pressure) limited. Wobbling jelly tower of fuel was best design compromise. Solids aren't the same they're strongly built to hold chamber pressure and don't throttle down at Q. Its obvious from how fast solid satellite launchers boost. Compare Vega C to a liquid fueled its totally different tempo.

Could plastic garbage from the ocean be used for 3D printers for printing guns like FGC-9?
>>64632856>2 landmasses against an archipelagobruh. chinks and jeets can afford to bury their plastics (or send them to flips); flips have nowhere else but to dump it to the oceans around it. Also they should've been focus-dumping all that junk to that goddamn body of water everyone is going nuts about.

Ok but how did the SEAD work?How do you know where the EAD is to S them?Is Dan Caine so autistic as to get the CIA to locate every single EAD and beyond? Every manpad and radar?Doesn't sound realistic. You telling me this is the same military that lost helis to Somalian pirates? Lost billions worth of equipment in a rout against the Taliban?What the fuck is going on?Is it actually because AirForceGODS are good at our job while the navy and army suck?Discuss.

>>64727111He doesn't know...
>>64727111Satellites, drones, teams on the ground, cyberwarfare units commandeering CCTV cameras from parking lots, banks and gas stations. Every system you use, every phone, every computer, every ATM machine is built with an infrastructure that's known and easily exploitable through bruteforce, pishing, backdoors, RAM exploits, etc, etc. because it was if not built on the west, copied from western designs with the same inherent structural weakness. Even Chinese software designers and computer engineers have to learn English because that's the language the code they use is written on.

What is known about them?
>>64727359He's right. It would be suspended, i.e. constantly thrusting (unless we've invented antigrav). It could be correctly said to be in a suborbital trajectory.What you're thinking of is bit like saying a weather balloon is in orbit because it's really high.
>>64727428I swear to fuck anon, I expected better from you.Geosynchronous satellites are still fucking satellites.
>>64727436>but keeping a satellite in one spot that isn't in a geosynchronous longitude would be prohibitively expensive with current publicly known technology.They are explicitly not talking about geosynchronous satellites. Please read.
>>64709699A few of them lived in my neighborhood when I was stationed at campbell. One dude was a retired crew chief, loved to mow his lawn in perfect zig zags all day and had an insane pool in his back yard where he'd host holiday parties for the neighborhood during the summer. For 4th of July he'd set off a firework show that looked and sounded like the first push into fucking Baghdad, it was awesome.
In the case of Dueling with pistols.How did one increase the chances of not getting shoot.Like i understand shooting first but also what else went into it?
>>64726775Actual, non bullshit answer?>Practice and positioning. There were schools, and forms that reduced one's chances of getting hit. The classic pistol form of "one arm, standing sideways" is one holdover from pistol dueling, in that it reduces one's hittable area, and maximizes potential survival if hit.
>>64726783Limp wristing was like a fine art
Only a man with the tenacity to endure being hit and fire a fatal shot can become president.
>>64727214>The classic pistol form of "one arm, standing sideways" is one holdover from pistol duelingTrue.>it reduces one's hittable area, True. You are making yourself a slightly smaller target.>and maximizes potential survival if hit.Absolutely false. If you are facing your target and take a lung shot, for example, it only gets one lung, and there is a small chance for survival; if you're standing sideways, the shot might take both lungs at once (there's a reason hunters prefer hitting their game from the side rather than from the front), and it increases the risk of hitting other vitals. The risk of making yourself a smaller target will also line up your vitals for the guy shooting at you.
I'd go prone. Smallest frontal target and most stable shooting position and no one would ever forget it.
So is the consensus that these drone-swarming, rail-gun toting blueberries would completely sweep the galaxy in all directions if not for lore contrivances?

>>64728084>there some specific reason GW would have such a mary sue alternative faction in this grimdark setting?Contrast. When everything is grimderp, there's nothing to really serve as a yardstick for how much better things could be. If anything, I think GW should go full hog into making Tau totally enlightened/altruistic in the Star Trek sense just to show how absolutely terrifying and daunting the setting would be for such a faction.
>>64728150So? If the population grows, it will reach carrying capacity eventually. The imperium has entire planets devoted to agriculture alone and their common citizenry is barely above starvation, because there's just so many of them. And if you allow people to procreate at will, they WILL eventually have above replacement fertility rates, that's just due to natural selection for having many children.

Are there any videos/articles that predicted, either horribly or eerily well, how Russia's war in Ukraine would go? Especially concerning the military campaign.This popped up in my feed for some reason and think it made some good predictions but completely missed the drone warfare aspect and overestimated how well the Russians would do, but atleast captured the fact that it wouldn't be over in days/weeks like some did during the time. https://youtu.be/Z9c_HhpvBpg?si=23WNr_6ZRtzhcFqM
>>64726620>>64726651Although I do love me some zigger predictions (my fav is pic rel) I'd prefer someone who, with their best intentions, tried to predict this but either utterly failed or was scarily right.
>>64726768I remember in 2020-2022 on 2ch(ru 4chan) there was a thread called "In search of Ukrainian MIC". Sarcastically, of course, implying that only the great russians have not lost the Soviet sacred knowledge. There was a lot of stuff, some guy posted from inside one of Ukraine's most important factories. Iirc around January 2022(or the first ru military exercise that was a bit earlier) there was a massive argument about how an actual full scale war would turn out. Russians, unsurprisingly, believed that Ukraine would fold extremely quickly. And there was anon that said something like "each of our cities bigger than 10k people will be 100 times worse than Grozny. Thousands and thousands of Grozny's all the way up to Kyiv ". To this day, this is the most precise prediction I've ever seen. He was only off by two zeros-one on the town size, and one on how many times worse than Grozny it's gonna be
>>64727015>and one on how many times worse than Grozny it's gonna beI mean there's been atleast 4-5 urban sieges that have been Grozny level or worse.
>>64726108The novel did portray the shit accuracy of 1980s air to air missiles correctly.
>>64726169I'm tempted to say that was by Gen. Mark Hertling. It's been a while, but I think he posted RU/UKR NCO observations on Twitter around the time of the invasion, followed by ad hoc urban resistance instructions that some Ukrainians translated and reposted when the doom convoy looked like it was on its way to Kyiv and they were handing out AKs in the city. Might be misremembering, was following a lot of retired officers at the time.
So, on January 12, 2024, Lockheed Martin was awarded a contract to integrate the AARGM-ER with all three F-35 variants.But many online sources state:>internal carriage on the F-35B is not possible due to internal space limitations. But wouldn't mounting an ARM missile the exterior pylons negate the advantage of using a stealth fighter to perform SEAD/DEAD objectives?
>>64727969There seems to be a typo in the OP picrel, F-35C(>A*) internal;
>>64727969F-35B makes a lot of compromises for the VTOL/STOL capability. It's fine given the other variants can carry them internally. If the pylon doesn't ruin the RCS too much it's probably also fine, hell you want them to point a FCS radar at you prior to launch so you can nail the FCS radar rather than "just" a search radar.
>>64727977The doc is from the Marines, who have squadrons operating Cs but don’t have any operating As so they aren’t concerned with them. Air Force is developing SiAW, which is a presumably improved derivative of the AARGM-ER sharing the same form factor
>costs 40 million>does nothing when neededwhy?
>>64726787>that would've oppressed everyone they loved for generations, deleted their culture and language, you mean like the ukranny government trying its hardest to ban Russian (the de facto language of Ukraine)?
>>64727635I wishEveryone outside russia with russian populations should be shooting them in the streets desuSorry if you're offended by how moderate I am
>>64727667too bad the russians shot back and the most prosperous regions of ukraine voted to leave and join russia
>>64725057I really like the comparison by country and by missile range, but don’t overlook the importance of identifying your target effective enough to make use of that range. Does any SA country have AWACS to vector in attacks? US pilots are playing a completely different game when they have dedicated AWACS, F-35’s which apparently can play AWACS themselves, and a bunch of EW Growers turbofucking ground based radars. Not to mention any and all of those assets can share targeting info, I would believe a microwave on the Gerald R Ford can provide datalinked heating for a frozen corn dog on the USS Shiloh at this point
