As in, Electromagnetic Launch Rail on wheels that can launch stealth drones.Aka. land-mobile airbases for drones and missiles, giving them a stealthy way to launch stuff without giving them away through infrared signature.FYI China has 50,000km of railway lines.
>>524565466Two stealth drones spotted with the segmented EMALS trailer.
>>5245654942 tons of maximum launch weight, which is enough for a dogfighting or strike drone.The political implications of that is that China can launch stuff from anywhere on their territory, have airbases that can be hidden inside mountain tunnels, and the US would not be able to spot them until it is too late and entire groups of attack drones have already launched.Taiwan and Japan are cooked and Trump better sue for sharing the Pacific with China.
>>524565466Copied from America, we have this since 1973. just let me quickly google some blogpost about some powerpoint spreadsheet headline vaguely hinting at it a year ago as proof.
>>524565494I hope it's a ps5
>>524565466I hope its not as hard to find flat land in real life as it is in a video game otherwise kek
>>524565466The more impressive thing is how they got it to Mars
>>524565567>The political implications of that is that China can launch stuff from anywhere on their territory, have airbases that can be hidden inside mountain tunnels, and the US would not be able to spot them until it is too late and entire groups of attack drones have already launched.This would only be useful in the case of a nuclear strike on all of their existing permanent airbases, in which cases launching short-range drones without being detected would be the least of their worries
>>524567088China has areas that are the closest to Mars. Which is why they used them for training their astronauts.
>>524565466>Land Aircraft CarrierKino idea. Too bad it will be cheap chink shit.
>>524565567Oh no! Not secret military bases in mountains or underwater! Who could've ever came up with such an idea?
>>524565466So the United States of America not only INVENTED the EMALS, they were the first to adopt catapults in warships back in the 50s-60s, they never thought to themselves "hmm, what if we put these on land instead of ships?"Skateboarding was invented by California hippies because they asked themselves "what if we surf on land?" I fail to believe that the Chinese who were riding on donkeys in the 50s-60s were the first to do this. Might also want to look into early tests of drones too.
