This is great to see honestly. I hope we stop selling to Europe so they are forced to innovate, which they can and will. The result is a deadlier war with deadlier and more cost effective weaponry, a win for all mankind. I wish we had more startups for missiles and drones. Nothing should be made artificially more expensive by administrative bloat.

I actually agree. Overglobalization has been a mistake, causing vital industries like weapons development and production to stagnate and atrophy. Over-reliance on the sectors of others isn't partnership, it's borderline feudalism.
Though i do think lessened sales will negatively impact the US MIC since it means lower quantities produced (due to lower demand) and thus worse economies of scale on that level, as well as lessened profits (since international sales are obviously at a mark-up compared to production costs).
>>
>>65233224
>$500,000 each
That's definitely not true for cruise missile of that spec
>>
>>65233421
They're bargain bin specials built using old second hand jet engines from the cold war jet trainers, basic ali-express guidance systems, and carrying old Soviet dumb bombs as warheads.
They're fucking enormous, like 3x the size of a Tomahawk, not built to be small and air-launchable. They're not stealth, and they don't have advanced features like terrain-following low-elevation flight capability, nor the ability to datalink with aircraft or other cruise missiles.
Half a mil each is not an unreasonable price for these things.
>>
>>65233428
>old second hand jet engines from the cold war jet trainers, basic ali- express guidance systems, and carrying old Soviet dumb bombs as warheads.
Exactly the flaw here. When I first heard about it they were making it out of scrap engines but that won't be avaliable for long and you need to remanufacture it which will shoot up the price. Also I don't like the missiles design like engine intake or size. It's a giant whale with large rf and ir signature. Not ideal unlike current pivot to low cost mini cruise missiles. When the Germans would try manufacture it they would increase the price even higher including guidance need since it doesn't justify for a weapon of that size.

Steel is $1100 per ton. There's a reason automakers are pushing you into a SUV you're dumb enough to pay $80,000 for rather than a $50,000 car. They're only paying $1000 more to build the SUV and making $29,000 more profit off it.

The V-1 cost ~$30,000 each. There's no reason this thing should cost even $60,000, never mind $500,000.

the only way Russia has been hitting anything so far back are
massive saturation attacks with Geran-2, which are both kinda expensive and unreliable (both in terms of accuracy and because they're easy to intercept)
or by using REALLY expensive missiles like Oreshnik (~25mil) of which they only have a couple (if any left at all)
or using expensive but interceptable missiles with limited range like Iskander

and remember Ukraine has partial and somewhat working air defense

Jet engines can be made cheaply. While ultra-high performance engines are absurdly expensive, a cruise missile doesn't need them.

I'm wildly disappointed that we didn't do more to contribute to TZD but ultimately we did our job: we kept the Soviet niggers at bay, then we stuck around long enough until it's aborted fetus of a federation finally died as well.

Alternatively dubsanon: US MIC learns to make stuff more efficiently and cheaper, resulting in more quantity from the US Military and being more competitive on international markets, and US Administrations will feel more pressure to care about international markets. Both of which are good things.

Like, I think OP is good too, but note that they aren't choosing them out of some politics but simply because the US MIC has failed in its ability to deliver here. If the US MIC made more and got more competitive and USG felt less able to fuck around with allies it'd be healthy long term. For the US too, we have giant budgets but they're not infinite and we've got a really really serious debt problem as well. It'd be good if we could get more for less as well.

To actually address this without getting sidetracked with a bunch of other bullshit.
No America did not bankroll European militaries, they had their own giant military post cold war which has spent most of its resources and efforts blowing up the middle east on a regular basis for 35 years, which was made easier and cheaper by using bases in Europe as a stepping stone. Meanwhile Europe wound down its military spending because the USSR was gone and nobody was going to win votes on increasing military spending because the only action European militaries were getting was tagging along with America to blow up brown people rather of actually defending Europe against any credible enemies. It wasn't because people expected America to come and fight our enemies for it, but because people legitimately couldn't see any enemies other than the ones we created by helping America kill third worlders.

Admittedly, Europe should have realized what was up with Russia sooner and gotten serious about meeting NATO spending targets sooner, so some criticism is justified.

>You're forgetting khinzals which mostly do hit what they're aimed at and are difficult to intercept.
oh right, yeah forgot about them
they added terminal maneuverability capabilities in 2024 or 2025
after that Ukraine (physically) intercepted barely any
Patriot was quite good before

but they are also ~10million per unit
still, Russia makes about 20-25 of these per month now (600-800 estimated total ballistic missile across systems per year)

there is some credible evidence that Ukraines Lima EW actually intercepted Khinzals though
well diverted them away from the main target
if true, that is not something Russia can fix easily (historically they heavily rely on GLONASS and not targeting based on offline maps like many western missiles)
but also just a bandaid, because some missiles will still hit

Taurus isn't even produced anymore
they would have to rebuild the entire production line
which would make it far more than 1million per unit unless you'd order hundreds at once

with near identical capabilities

>>
>>65236037
Diehl is interested in building it, it's not the Ukrainians saying it. And FP-5 has more payload and more range than either Taurus or JASSM, plus it's way cheaper and easier to produce. Provided that Russian air defense is utter dogshit, it's a great option for saturation attacks and/or long range strikes. Taurus and JASSM (once it's delivered) can take out high value targets, FP-5 can do the rest.

that is stupid populist reasoning

the likely truth is, that politicians are (to some extend) bound by what voters want and need to get voted for again
going into (near) war time economy to produce massive amounts of weapons (Taurus alone won't win any war) is wildly unpopular in literally all European countries
as this would increase inflation even more and necessitate massive welfare cuts

the current extend of weapons productions would already be straining domestic budgets if it weren't for EU level guarantees (which just take the money less overtly)
>>
>>65236079
good post
additional reason for not delivering Taurus is apparently that it would require Germans providing target info or something which is not trivial. And Germany unlike FR and UK who sent SCALP is not a nuclear power, so Russian threats have to be taken more seriously.
>>
>>65233224
Given the US has demanded Europe cover more of the cost of its defense rather than put the American people in debt for another 60 years of Team America global police stability, is this not giving the current admin exactly what he wanted?

I see this as a good thing strategically and militarily for the US. Ukraine and Germany seperated from Russia and dependent on the US for energy and goods.
It weakens a communist China still reeling from what the US military displayed in Venezuela and Iran against its equipment. An attack on Taiwan would be stupid and they know that.
The EU sees this, so does everyone else.
They also see a future where SpaceX Starship and Falcon Heavy placing 3-5 tsar bombs in space guided by thousands of LEO and GSO Starshield satellites.

Make no mistake, none of this is bad. It will save the US billions and maintain the petrodollar long enough to control all available orbits abd weaponize space.
And whoever does that will control the world in the next 20 years.

Sometime reverse psychology works in military strategy.

>Taurus is apparently that it would require Germans providing target info or something
worse

Taurus has a pretty cool navigation system with 4 independently working and counseling parts (only UK/France, China and the USA have something comparable)
the terrain reference navigation is the special component here
which needs accurate and updated maps, especially 3D maps of the target itself
the software behind is fed by spy satellites or other footage and usually kept very confidential
and because Taurus is old... you need a specific physical terminal to get the data on it
which only a few people in the German military are allowed to operate
so it would need German military in Ukraine to get targeting info on the missile

i think SCALP can get it's data remotely, so that's why it never was a problem

kinda silly
but alongside the very limited supply the main reason why there aren't any Taurus in Ukraine
>>
>>65236079
>going into (near) war time economy to produce massive amounts of weapons
This is just a pathetic excuse. Europe doesn't need to produce massive amounts of weapons. It only needs to outproduce russia, which isn't some industrial behemoth but a corrupt shithole that only invests in things that can be thoroughly embezzled. And judging by the fact that russians have started reporting tens of thousands of downed drones per week, I'd say production is beginning to scale up.
>>
>>65236067
>plus it's way cheaper and easier to produce
Every faggot claiming this thing is so cheap forgot it's made second hand parts and actual production cost is far higher than ukraine claims. If germans try to built it would probably triple the cost.

>>65236110
No because Trump thought he'd still have the same leverage over the EU, but that's going down the shitter. He really thought he could just bully the EU into forcing Ukraine to sign "peace".

What you're essentially missing from your post is that now the EU will favour its own interests far more, where before it was in large part an extension of US decision making. It's a step in the direction Russia's schizo multipolar world and a step away from a unified West.

Don't get me wrong, I don't blame the USA for wanting to focus on themselves, but you can't be surprised that Europeans will do the same.
>>
>>65236172
>Europe doesn't need to produce massive amounts of weapons
they do
if you want to win quickly

>It only needs to outproduce russia
which will lead to a slow win
exactly the issue >>65236063 had

and in some areas the EU+Ukraine already outproduces Russia
shell consumption at the front reached parity, so has FPV drone usages
long range drone either has recently or will reach parity in the coming months
air defense production is multiple time above Russia's

winning quickly would mean developing new weapons, like ballistic missiles for Ukraine and mass producing them in gigantic quantities
or starting to produce dozens of tanks per months
you'd need to engage in the same stupid attritional warfare that Russia does
which would likely mean double, triple or more of the current spending
that is not feasible

Is it the nicest way to do things?

you are again confusing possible with desirable.
for the EU priority number 1 remains internal consensus. pushing to hard would piss off the Medmisers, not doing enough the Eastern TZD fanclub.
so middle of the road it is.
besides the only big benefit a speedy conclusion to the war could bring to the EU would be buying cheap russian energy again. they have however already said they won't do that. so bleeding the russians as much as you can at the cost of Ukranian blood and soil isn't a bad prospect for the EU at all.

>>65233224
I've been complaining for years that Europeans should be producing cheap drones in large numbers so that they can stay on top of the new 'meta'. This allows them to not only effectively support Ukraine, it also allows a serious feedback loop where it's not just Ukraine getting solid knowledge on fighting this type of war.

Im Vergleich zu den Irakern, Syrern, Nafris etc. aus den letzten ca. 20 Jahren sind die Türken ein Teil unserer Gesellschaft.
Ich habe lieber ne Dönerbude und nen türkischen Friseur wo jeder hingeht als reihenweise Shisha-bars und Spielhallen randvoll mit Untermenschen.

Absolutely. You will note that I qualified my statement

And in fact those who vote for Dönerhitler can fuck off back to Türkiye anytime.
However:
I stand by my statement. I'd rather keep Turks and children or grandchildren of Turks who came here in the 70s and 80s than the Syrian, Iraqis, nafris etc. from the last 20 years.

It is a few things they don't like:
1. Russia fears EU countries focusing more on long-range strike capabilities. A world where EU countries, big and small, have low-commitment conventional solutions that can land serious tonnage into Saint Petersburg + Moscow is a threat to their strategic posturing towards eastern Europe.
2. Fire Point itself is an issue. They've made it clear they're expanding into SRBM solutions, with likely MRBMs on the roadmap. The best BMD offerings Russia fields have been proven incapable of reliably stopping 1980's era ATACMS. Ukraine having some ballistic missile stockpile is bad enough, but for it to potentially expand into the wider EU is an existential crisis in the making for RU MoD planners.

gee, I wonder

>>65237199
what weight was there to pull?
>>
>>65237199
germany had a fleet of over 1000 american warplanes during the cold war. germany also bank rolled desert storm for the americans. learn some history mate.
>>
>>65237208
>>65237199
germany also still subsidizes the american bases in germany. its one of the reasons why the americans havent left for poland yet. it would cost them a lot more.
>>
>>65237213
They also have 80 years of infrastructure built in those bases.

>>65237245
again what weight didn't they pull?
they where always stronger than the russians, they took part in the only time art.5 got invoked (and it's debatable that terrorism buy an non-state actor constitutes an attack under the NATO treaty, just look at all the terrorism all over Europe during the cold war that didn't constitutean attack).
I agree that they cut back heavily on defense spending, but so did the US and the russians.
>>
>>65237245
800 star fighters wouldnt be much help right now and that global war on terror stuff also is useless garbage now. what we would have needed is a secret service that investigates russian glowies and schröder should have been charged with high treason.

I really think that this ship has sailed.
Wether anyone in Europe will purchase Flamingo or not, Diehl clearly wants in on the production, they do bring some know-how and cash to scale things up.
And they know that once the existing engines are used up another solution will have to be found.

And they seem to see further potentia with better sensors etc.
This thing is a big-ass missile with IRBM-like range. Give it some terrain folowing capability and it turns into the nightmare you described for Russia.
Or, if we think a little further, for China.

>>65237231
Ja, sehr gut.

>>65237245

marshall plan by burgers stopped the red cancer from consuming it all into its biomass in the post ww2 destruction.

After which there was all the time in the world to contain and dismantle german turbo imperialism

European Coal and Steel union, which was the seed that led to the EU, was entirely an european effort and undertaking. Monumental no less given the continents history

the way i understood it, the US has an economy based around the petrodollar, for which it needs a foothold in the middle east and a sizeable, globally acting military. the US spends like crazy on its military but in exchange it also gets to run the money printer and make the rest of the world pick up the tab whenever they have to buy dollars to get oil. the whole idea that they're paying for EU's defense is just a half truth, since the EU also pays for the US's inflation and gives them physical goods in exchange for fiat funny money that they printed. i personally think the US has gotten a better deal than EU, in terms of "fairness" but it's all pretty immaterial

the EU didn't have much to gain from a large military after the cold war, but i guess they did vastly underestimate the insane levels of resentment that russians have for everyone else. afaik europe and the US funneled money into russia in the 90s to keep it from going full mad max and prevent warlords from getting nukes, but russian nationalists seem to remember that as the west trying to rape, conquer or humiliate russia. perhaps it's just because that's what their motives would've been, had the tables been turned

>meduza is quite literally ukranian dogshit media
You w0t m8? Stop drinking semen at least for a moment.
Meduza is the "good russians" media, the ones which are smart enough to not expose their (still present) subhumanity every 5 seconds and can at least somewhat pretend that they are not imperialist (they still are).
They are the people who for 15 years were the Lenta.ru media outlet (main russian online news website), presenting themselves as independent (from the regime overall) before it got fully squished under the thumb of the regime in the post-2014 crackdown when the new owners cleaned house and all of the fired staff whipped up Meduza as their new home.

You do realize that you can strip down almost anything to a set of parts? Ikea isn't unique in this regard. Go look up SKD and CKD in automotive manufacturing for example. It's like that with everything else. Factories are just a big set of machinery.
How do you think USSR moved the industry to the Urals during WW2? They've literally disassembled machinery, put it on trains and moved thousands of miles east and reassembled it there.
How do you think USSR got their Lada car maker? They've literally bought a Fiat factory from Italians lmao, Italians made everything in Italy, then put in on ships and shipped it to USSR to assemble and install everything locally.

Inferiority complex.
America saved the treacherous, cowardly, and self-satisfied cunts from the consequences of their own ineptitude - twice - and they’ve never forgiven burgers for it.
This explains the constant backstabbing and undermining of American interests abroad by these so-called “allies” - who give aid and comfort to America’s enemies while failing to display even a modest capacity for defense production or combat.
Why else are the French bending over backwards to save Hezbollah from the extermination they are due despite the fact that Shias killed French soldiers? Spiritually cucked civilization, and the sooner burgers stop subsidizing NATO the better - fuck euros.

Votkinsk Machine Building Plant, which was a 1600-1700km distance FP-5 strike depending on Ukrainian launch point.
>if it had 3000km range geran's factory would have being toast by now
That, or Russia actually has sufficient AA positioned to hit a flying school bus (and said school bus doesn't fly nearly as low an altitude as it should) before it reaches their most strategically important drone factory.

It is simpler to assume the Russians aren't incompetent, as opposed to assuming there is a range discrepancy you know.

It cut its defense budget because it was lobbied to buy American while US corporations stripped it of any military ideas via buyouts, and they coukd afford it due to the higher budget paid for by Europe.
