Conventional Prompt Global Strike. It’s been experimented with. Heck, they were going to put anti-airfield warheads on Pershings...before deciding that really was a bad idea. Still, a few years ago they tested the Advanced Hypersonic Weapon. If the system is only conventional the odds that it triggers a nuclear…

What a load.

“if he can force NATO into a position where it ignores its Article 5 obligations, then he can essentially destroy NATO altogether.”

Lol. They were in and out in a couple months. By 2009 the opportunity for action was long past.

Sweden believes that Article 42(7) Treaty of European Union (Aka Lisbon treaty) provides a mutual defense clause for CDSP members.

“Finally you’re assuming the warheads would travel in the launch vehicles. You’d almost certainly be wrong. They would have their own space with their own security. The missiles will be armed when needed.”

“There is no free lunch. And if you look at the Gulf War and Iraq invasion you will see that the USMC never based the Harrier at austere fields.”

Should the USAF go all in on the F-35B? No. We have the Marines.

It should be amusing given the Chinese desire to regain control in historically Chinese territory.

According to soviet records they had lost 20,500 tanks between June 22 and December 31, 1941. Russian researchers estimate that British supplied tanks represented 30-40% of the heavy and medium tanks defending Moscow in December 1941. The brits had delivered 466 tanks while the Red Army had been reduced to 670 russian…

Lol. Priceless.

“It was simply a 45,000 ton machine that needed 1000’s of hands and minds to operate in unison. Just amazing to see up close.”

Pretty, but no. It's a bunch of ticos and burkes.

Stennis “human interest” story from 2002

You never ended up in overflow berthing...

You know what’s more impressive? This pic:

Awww...I liked the Stennis masquerading as the Akagi or Hiryu. Now we can’t imagine simultaneous port and starboard air ops with CVNs...

Nah, leave it. We can pretend its our version of Hiryu and Akagi. :)

Looks like it was taken during golden hour. It’s hard, even for me, to screw up photos during golden hour if you manage to focus and have even half decent composition.

The 91N6E radar is a 3D phased array acquisition radar but not a OTH radar. The conjecture is that these are data linked to the Nebo (L-band and VHF radars) for better VLO detection but that’s not a OTH system either.
