What do you guys think of DARPA's LongShot? Essentially a cruise missile truck that carries and launches AIM-120 sized missiles from extended range independently after being fired from an aircraft.
>>65594503Modern warfare is fucking gay.
>>65594503How many missiles does it fire each? Just 1?
>>65594507Stop projecting
>>65594511Notorious homosexual here. Modern warfare is extremely gay.
>>65594508About tree-fiddy
>>65594503A missle missle? I want a missle missle.missle!
>>65594503if you can't be iran, gotta join them
>>65594503How many of these could a B-21 carry?
>>65594503>macross>spess F14's with missiles within missiles >real life >just missiles within missiles Fuck this gay earth.
>>65594503>What do you guys think of DARPA's LongShot? Essentially a cruise missile truck that carries and launches AIM-120 sized missiles from extended range independently after being fired from an aircraft.Wouldnt it be easier and more practical to just build a bigger air 2 air missile with much longer range?
>>65594654Which is why we have to make space F-14s
>>6559458521, obv.
>>65594503Overpriced crap that will only be build in small number then discontinued.
>>65594685That is being done also. This is DARPA attempting to create the absolute minimum viable CCA
>>65594507Fpbp
>>65594503
>>65594685Bigger missiles tend to be less manoeuvrable. I think they want to have something that can snipe fighters, even if they see it coming and try to evade.
>>65594503What does the thing do after it's dumped it's load?
>>65594503Presumably the AIM-sized missile will then launch 70mm rocket which in turn will launch a 40mm grenade.
Seems like a waste of money when you can destroy a modern city with cheap RC planes
>>65596119You can't, certainly not against an enemy with any level of competency, but feel free to keep broadcasting your lack of intelligence.
>>65594847We build tons of aim-120 thoughbeit
>>65594503So, a drone that can be fired from a mothership which carries that mothership's payload in its stead.
>>65594503Hegseth made this concept art with USMC issued paraffin based MRE-like products didn't he?
>>65596119>>65596998how is the RC plane going to hit a target across the globe?
>>65597020>how is the RC plane going to hit a target across the globe?
>>65597056>>65597020Check mate, athiests
>>65597063What atheists? Everyone believes in Godzilla.>>65594692Screw the manned fighters. We need to go straight to the Ghost V9/MG... with no restrictions.
We need anti missile missile missiles to shoot down the missile missiles.
>>65598248But then the other guy is just going to make anti missile missile missile missiles and you're going to need anti missile missile missile missile missiles. We need something better, a new approach.
Yo, dawg I heard you liked missilesso I made you a missile you launch that launches missiles
>>65594507This, holy shit
>>65596119>Seems like a waste of money when you can destroy a modern city with cheap RC planesKyiv seems to have tanked them pretty well for some years now.What time-frame are you considering your destruction to occur in?
>>65597011>Hegseth made this concept art with USMC issued paraffin based MRE-like products didn't he?The weird tail configuration that's different between different instances and the absolute random missile spam, makes me 98% certain this is absolute beginners Grok slop.
>>65594507>>65595085>>65598440Curious why you guys consider it "gay".
>>65595919Crash eventually and wash up on some beach in the tropics for our enemies to reverse engineer.
>>65598255>We need something better, a new approach.No. These missile missile missile missiles must surely be large, slow, and release short-range terminal missiles with limited energy to maneuver. We need to retvrn to tail gunners.
>>65598661Because most people are conditioned into thinking 'real war' looks like Saving Private Ryan, so the fact that reality continues to be systems upon systems at increasingly more and more distant stand-off ranges upsets them.
I think that it is about the coolest real life sci fi bullshit I have ever seen and I want them to be made available on the civilian market within the decade.
