>If one considers that the stated purpose of the Navy today is to build ships and win wars, the Constellation program is a disaster in the making. If, however, one considers that the actual purpose of the Navy is to project an image of credibility, then non-finalized, concurrent, ever-shifting designs that never get done and always seem to be just around the corner, just waiting for the inclusion of some “game changer” bit of technology, is actually rational and reasonable. The constant, obsessive fixation with various illusory “game changers” was never in much evidence in America in the 1930s and ’40s, when it enjoyed true industrial supremacy. Now, it is endemic to every branch of the U.S. military, and it makes complete sense given the institutional and ideological pressures that military leadership faces. For its part, given the impossibility of the military math it is faced with, Navy leadership is increasingly standing under the leafless tree and waiting for Godot. Sacrificing the ability to actually build ships on time is not such a great loss, after all, because no ships that can be built today have the power to upend a basic 200:1 ratio in favor of the enemy. Maintaining a narrative that the next American ship (whenever it appears) will have some sort of radical capability that will transform the basic calculus of war actually carries with it demonstrable benefits and a low amount of drawbacks, compared to all the other alternatives. Especially if the careers and self-image of people in Navy leadership are to be considered, it represents the safest and most reliable choice.

But that's a lie though. A well-captained nuclear sub can absolutely destroy 200 lesser ships. Like say, the Chinese fishing fleet.

>The amount of fraud and deception that goes into maintaining this ideological, implicit institutional purpose of the American military is difficult to overstate. Nor is it even a real secret: as far back as 2015, the Army War College published a report on this very issue, in which the authors laid out their findings of widespread juking of stats and lying about requirements, personnel levels, and so on.7 This widespread epidemic of lying—already serious enough back in 2015—was not due to individual moral failings, nor “bugs in the system”; more ominously, most of the lying actually formed a sort of institutional grease that was increasingly becoming required just to keep the wheels turning. The more recent New York Times article on military suicides gives a particularly macabre example of how this works in practice: here, a unit commander compels a soldier with acute suicidal ideation to deploy overseas just so he can include that soldier in the readiness statistics. Once he arrives, he is then immediately sent back stateside again, as he cannot actually legally participate in the exercise or even be trusted in the presence of any loaded firearms.

>Most coverage of that event focused on the political issues surrounding the pier, and the general geopolitical context of the Gaza crisis that the U.S. military was recklessly being thrust into. What fewer people picked up on, however, was that the mission was doomed to fail from the start, purely due to technical reasons: the Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore (jlots) system being put in place was simply not rated to handle the regular sea states in the area. The almost immediate scuttling of the Gaza pier due to damage from rough seas was not a freak accident, or attributable to some sequence of bad luck: it was a completely foreseeable and indeed inevitable outcome. The relevant point that needs to be made regarding the Gaza pier has nothing to do with the Gaza crisis itself; rather, it is that the military was made to expend real logistical assets (assets which are in increasingly short supply) on a mission that could not work even on paper. No one with relevant experience inside the military would have been ignorant of something so basic as looking up a sea state chart; yet at no point was the practical impossibility of the mission allowed to prevent it from going forward. To put it bluntly, the military was given a deeply ideological mission, one that would assuredly result both in failure and damage to or destruction of limited logistical assets. Military leadership, knowing which side their bread was actually buttered on, complied: the mission duly failed, and the limited equipment was damaged and destroyed.
ouch...

>Yet again, from a warfighting perspective, this behavior shouldn’t actually be happening. But it is happening, because within the institutional setting of the military—which is heavily shaped by the expectations set by a deeply ideological civilian and uniformed leadership—this sort of behavior not only makes sense, it is often required. To buttress this point with a non-Army example, a major theme covered in the reporting of the 2010s USS Fitzgerald and USS McCain collisions (which together led to the loss of seventeen sailors and constitute two of the most serious disasters the Navy has ever suffered in peacetime) was that ship captains were expected to sail even if their personnel situation or maintenance backlogs should not have allowed it; captains lied to their admirals who in turn lied to their political superiors. Rather than grapple with how lying had become an institutional requirement inside the Seventh Fleet, the Navy instead chose to blame these accidents on the ship captains themselves, even though the captains had repeatedly issued warnings to their superiors about the risk of serious accidents.

If the Czech Republic had chosen not to comply, lump-sum fines and daily penalties could have been leveraged against it. If the Czech Republic chose not to pay the fines, it could cut them off from EU programs.

>>64679368
if a case was brought against them
and as I've explained already it would be very unlikely for one to be brought against them by a citizen. that would have been handled by the ECJ and ruled against the Czech Republic. this due to the a) damages being criminal in nature
b)commercial damages being the result not of implementation but remaining non harmonized elements of countries criminal codes in relation to gun control
the commission could have brought a case against them, but the commission needs them to go after Hungary.
As such the Czech republic could have managed to get an opt out into the directive via an amendment or just de facto

>>64679384
Right, and the case could be brought against them if they didn't comply with the directive. The country obviously felt that it was very likely hence why they changed their laws despite it being unpopular.

Portugal. Semi-automatic rifles which shared a design with full auto military rifles were in the prohibited category. If you wanted a "black rifle" you had to drop 2,300€ on a Benelli MR1 or something. There was even an attempt to ban the H&K SL8 for being too close to the G36 but nothing came of it.
The EU's directive basically opened the sports shooter category to semi-auto "military style" rifles because that's what everyone else uses in competition.

You don't need stealth for the low part of a Hi/Lo-mix. You just need a cheap bomb truck. Maybe read OP to get a sense what the thread you're posting in is about.

You remove the pilot, for one.

>>64680700
We're talking about manned aircraft here jackass, pilots are expensive as shit and loosing them is politically expensive as well.

>>64679955
>How would you engineer combat aircraft for absolute minimum cost per flight hour while keeping performance acceptable enough for the task of exploiting air supremacy?
You start by removing the pilot, which allows you to ditch innumerable life support and safety features as incidental losses are now just the cost of doing business.
>Would something in the size category of an F-16 be best or something larger? From googling around apparently a B-52 costs roughly 3-4 times an F-16 per flight hour and has far more than that in multiples of its payload.
F-16 is a bit too small. America gets by via having a massive network of bases, but the Chinese are demonstrating why that model has some issues once stealth enters the equation, as stealth drop tanks are hilariously expensive and internal fuel load becomes a lot more important. Relying on tankers runs into the same problem.
>Are there any considerations that would make a 'clean sheet B-52' not the best fulfillment of these parameters?
Large bombers do almost nothing better than smaller jets these days. You don't need huge volumes of ordnance for most missions.

Basically you'd want no stealth, a body design that's easy to manufacture, single engine, jet powered but with a focus on fuel economy for maximizing range. Some kind of fire control sensor package but no gigantic expensive radar for air to air stuff, if you want to use them in that capacity to truck missiles, slave them to a manned aircraft's radar. Oh, and don't bother designing them to accommodate a gun. Saves a bit of engineering in terms of shock hardening and wasted internal space for a useless capacity.

>>64679955
I kind of disagree with the concept as a whole, because there are missions beyond CAP and Interceptions where having a stealth capable 'low' aircraft is ideal as it further reduces the risk of those missions. If you were to ask me a fleet of nothing but F-22 and F35 would be the most ideal, but that ships already kind of sailed because of the Obama admin.

>Would something in the size category of an F-16 be best or something larger?
Something larger like either the F-18E/F or F-15E/EX, with more of a preference to the bug as the Eagle 2 is more expensive despite mogging both the other options. The main issue with the F16 being its anemic combat range and limited hardpoints.
