Unpopular opinion on this board:

(From a relative close distance)

Ive tried one of those arrows here and it cutted straight through an European wooden door (meaning, heavier, massive, not made of cardboard). It got stuck because of the back part of the arrow

Lets say from close distance:
A single arrow of this kind is deathlier than a single bullet from the same distance honnestly. This blade cutts enough veins and its impact is horrific. If it hits an artery its done soon but even the veins, tissue, other shit it damages is quite sick if you ask me. It's dark here now otherwise I could show you the door with literally a vertical hole of that arrow through it.

I think a bullet will be my choice if I have to choose between being hit by a single bullet or a single arrow of this kind

hollowpoint 5.56 is one of the preferred rounds for US SOF, both for use as a general purpose round and its actual designated role for long range marksmanship.
>>
>>64636318
If you shoot an arrow that is too lightweight then you do lose energy in the projectile. We're not talking about energy stored in the bow, we're talking about energy transferred to the projectile. This is basic archery stuff. It's called ggp (grains per pound). There's a sweet spot. Too light you lose energy, then there's the sweet spot, then you start to lose velocity.

But that's a popular opinion
>>
>>64636439
You mean SMK? Those hollow points don't really work the same way, they're hollow for balance
>>64636328
No, it's just that hollow points become less impactfull in smaller calibers, and 5.56's terminal performance is based on fragmentation from velocity anyway

No I mean... it's interpretive in a way just not the meme way. You can take a picture of your yard and ask for a utrient flow map and it will do a reasonable job you can plan your garden and shit with. It can't design a pistol off a prompt very well. AI is going to be a "part" in your car door that senses closing and window position with temps and shit like that, like an accessory management chip.

Neural networks have the strength of being able to learn through reinforcement
A heuristic software would likely miss the aforementioned black pixels and dark splotch if the programmer himself didn't know there was any significance to it.
Deep learning models can find patterns that are defacto invisible to humans, which is their main strength.
Really the method should be chosen to fit the problem. Currently everyone is riding on the AI hypetrain even where simpler solutions would work better, but I think image analysis like this is an example of a domain where it really shines

The only time they showed the 150km distance was once. And you could only see some buildings at max zoom…

Actual identification of surface targets is ~30km max with that sensor unless it is a large target (ie. ships or planes).

I also think the FA-XX will be very heavy by Navy standards, but I'm certain that the F-47 is targeting increased range and payload rather than increased energy-maneuverability. There may have been questions about the relative value of aerodynamic performance vs stealth in the 90s, but by now it's clear that stealth is the absolute measure of an aircraft's combat performance, dogfights now are lucky to last long enough for the loser to realize he's not alone.

As far as strategic bombing goes, I'm not even sure how it differs from tactical bombing in an era of precision munitions. What's the difference between dropping a JDAM on a radar and dropping a MOP on an underground enrichment facility? Just the range and the payload? But if even air superiority fighters are prioritizing range and payload these days, that would seem to push attack and strike aircraft into bomber territory.

We're at a junction here where all aircraft want the same things: stealth, range, payload, and powerful radar/EW. Unlike any point before this in history, none of those things are mutually exclusive. There's no longer any compromises to be made, no longer any roles. How good of an aircraft you have for (X) is purely a matter of how much it costs.
>>
>>64636690
It’s definitely targeting longer range, payload is a bit more of an open question since they’re very invested in the idea of CCAs as spear carriers that they offload AMRAAMs to while the F-47 operates as something of a mini AWACS. F-22 gets a 590nmi combat radius on 18k pounds of fuel, but if the 30% increase in range GE was claiming from adaptive engines can be taken as a constant then F-47 would only need ~23k pounds of fuel to hit that 1000nmi range, not accounting for any aerodynamic differences. Though I’d assume a tailless design would have less drag, possibly lowering that number. So I don't think it will actually end up terribly larger than an F-22, I’d guess 90k MTOW at the absolute top end. I could of course be wrong, but that’s my best guess.

The difference as far as strategic bombers goes comes down to payload, the ability to carry outsized munitions, and most importantly cost. B-21 is going to be a fair bit lighter, but current bombers in inventory are often flying around north of 300k pounds. This drives cost up massively, with B-21 currently costing over $600 million per airframe if I remember right, so about 2-3x the cost estimates we’ve seen quoted per NGAD airframe. It’s a steep cost to be sure, but you have to pay it if you want to carry large munitions in any real quantity, or outsized munitions like MOP.

There’s definitely a lot of convergence going on, but you still optimize different aircraft for different roles, and you still need combat mass. We don’t have many bases that can accommodate a strategic bomber in the Pacific, iirc we onyl run B-2s out of Guam and Diego Garcia, so they’d mostly base in the US. That means terrible sortie generation compared to a 5th or 6th gen fighter. It doesn’t make sense to only buy B-21s, or only buy F-47s. There’s overlap in role certainly but there’s a reason anyone who can afford to is developing more than a single stealth platform.
