I am not sure of the cost of the guided rounds for the railgun but something tells me they are in the hundreds of thousands to millions. I personally am a huge fan of accurate unguided rounds. I think that there could always be a case for those being more cost effective and more psychologically more effective (the…

How so?

The Chinese have invested heavily in area denial capabilities. Even if you were just losing 1 cruiser or carrier per 10 shot down, it would quickly end up very badly

well, if a DF-21 is aimed at the bow of an aircraft carrier 30 miles out, the carrier is moving so slowly that it will hit somewhere midship if it travels a straight line.

“NO, YOUR OTHER LEFT!!!”

For those wondering where the Memorial is relative to everything else

They are moved by tugs at low speed, which could be a major factor in the collision

Oh my God. I feel so aweful for laughing at that.

It’s not near the channel.

Of all things to falsify. That's like getting arrested for hacking to change the holds on your library card.

So he is chilling with the commanders of that one Russian sub, the USS Guardian, and the old commander of the HMS Astute. In the bar of shame.

Never having been to Pearl Harbor, I obliged myself to look at Google earth, and what the hell? Why were they that far over. Seeing as they are about the same size as the USS Missouri (in length) I cannot figure out why they would be so far over

Having just gone through food poisoning not too long ago, I can relate and agree!

Awesome shots! I am so glad we work with Jordan, probably one of the most rational nations in the region

Nice failed deductions Sherlock, you do realize that there are several different regions in the US that speak differently don't you? Not really sure what to say to you but you got that really wrong

You may have forgotten that we made that mess of Al Queda and Bin Laden back a few decades prior. The issue is that the U.S. Has a habit of achieving short sighted victories with total disregard to the long term consequences. They pretty much put the queen in danger to take out a rook.

Could you have been subconsciously thinking this would be a good riot control tank? Because this would dispel a Riot like nothing else!!!!

Pretty darn cool. I see a lot of fires around the world that are allowed to burn because the fire crews can’t get close enough. Combining armor and firefighting seems like a good idea.Also the mobility of a tracked vehicle is good. I used to live in Colorado and when there would be a forest fire, they could only fight…

That's exactly what I was thinking. Idle threats make no sense otherwise. They just delay an airliner and give them Fed a clue to your whereabouts.
