Does the us finaly have project thor?
>>65513321We did back in the dayhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PGM-17_Thor
>>65513321Wake me up when we get a SOL 740 orbital laser
>>65513321The 'space combat' terms being used lately are nearly meaningless. As pointed out by the overrated hack retard writer Harry Turtledove it would take WW2 Earth about a month or two of cooperation to screw a proximity fuse and half a ton of BBs onto a V2 before they were taking pot shots at low orbit satellitesFor reference Starlinks are 370-550km high, Nork missiles were reaching 4500km high almost a decade ago and can currently do 7500km+
>>65513349Wake me up when we have a 50 foot long conical depleted uranium God rod strapped to a rocket we can slingshot around the moon and land precisely on pickaxe mountain at mach 26 with so much force it cracks the whole mountain like that bottom brick in bloodsport
>>65514175We can call it operation Wil-E-Coyote
>>65513349Zapper anon could talk your ear off about that thing.
>>65514194Well, friend...I would if I didn't have to leave for work. I am actually listening to a book about the Russian nuclear weapons program, and goddamn my man Zeldovich really was a fucking genius.
>>65514448>book about the Russian nuclear weapons programReeee stop listening to russian propaganda reeee -t. nu/k/
>>65514462I wish I could find a book specifically about Zeldovich, but you can't. The author was listing off his scientific achievements, and this one stood out in particular enough that I looked it up. Sounds awfully familiar, like something I might have read 22 years ago.
Whatever it is it already has the chinks seething.
>>65514462it's not russian propaganda, it's soviet, which is significantly easier to stomach because at least the soviets made progress actually worth bragging about, even if it was often done purely for bragging rights to insist their economic system was not a piece of shit.
>>65514684"i am le concern" is the classic response every country makes when another country does something that are also doing but that they don't want others doing.
>>65514462pidors lie with every time they open their shit smelling mouth. This includes writing. So yes, never believe vatnikstan in anything
Didn't the little space plane take out that orc spy satellite that was larping as an orbital mars observer orbiting earth? I know it """officially""" just burned up on its own but it was highly highly likely that space bro took it out.
>>65514740I mean look at this guy >>65514486All he wanted to do is smile and correct wavefront distortions with real time holography, but the Russian government was too broke and retarded to engineer it.
The Russians/Soviets took one look at our Space Shuttle and started testing autocannons in space, all because the Space Shuttle had a robotic arm and cargo bay. Everything the US does in space scares them because they know US space stuff works and does what its supposed to, so anything that vaguely could be a weapon may as well be a highly effective weapon system in space to them.
>>65514693Xi had a stroke/is dying and China is in no position to take Taiwan in the next year or so without obvious buildup, so China has to pivot back to 2000s era pseudo neutrality with America.
>>65513321Well obviously it's not secret if they know about it. Stupid Russians!
>>65517249>Xi had a stroke/is dyingCitation required.
>>65517247>Everything the US does in space scares them because they know US space stuff works and does what its supposed to, so anything that vaguely could be a weapon may as well be a highly effective weapon system in space to them.In one sense they are right.>t. 0358 time to make the satellites ...again.
>>65517249I'm dying for an Asian stroke. Might hit up the massage parlor today in honor of Xi.
>>65517271His headset stopped working and jeets on Xitter are saying it was a stroke.
