we have a long history of seeing good weapons on paper but crappy production models. lets wait a few years until we decide if its a good weapon.

perfect at not working!

read somewhere that they decided to stop developing fighter aircraft because ground to air missiles where to good... we are still developing aircraft that can still kick any ground to air missiles ass any day.

we are planing on sending our prototypes to fight wars!!!

the joke is lost in translation, it says “eeeeeeexcited to see you”

i like the idea that soldiers/sailors have to pay for there meal. the army/navy/air-force should pay the solder the price of the meal in the mess hall and the soldier should be allowed to decide if he wants to spend the money on a meal, where ever he wants and if he doesn’t want to eat he has more money to spend on…

i think they would rather not kill there soldiers for cool effects...

The question shouldn’t be how he feels when someone burns the flag, the question should be how he acts when someone burns your countries flag. most people that are patriots would hate the people burning your flag but they wont go out of there way to kill the people burning the flag. there are Muslims that think that…

What's nice about a cheap and simple COIN aircraft is that you don't need many when not at war because when you do need them you can make a lot in a short time. All the US needs is to maintain a small production and development line so that they don't lose their technical knowledge and construct the facilities to…

my problem isn't that they want to faze out the A-10 its more that they are trying to sell the F35 as a multitask aircraft that can do anything.
the A-10 is an old aircraft and most of its missions can be accomplished by UAV's and UCAV's. but if you want to stay with an A-10 type aircraft there is no point in starting…

that's why tankers don't let infantry on there tanks, they tend to fall off for the dumbest reasons. just getting on and off the tank is hazardous to them.

so what do they drop? white flags?
i think that the Rafael is one of the prettiest combat jets out there.
Egypt should be buying more ground support aircraft than fighter jets, something like the supertucano witch is cheap to buy cheap to fly and cheap to maintain.

you cant compare the ships now to the ones in the 1920's... you have to compare the size and capability of the US navy compared to navy's it will need to wage war against. and as of now china is building up its navy at a breathtakingly fast pace. the US cant decide to build up its forces when its already out matched…

who is trying to topple secular governments? its easier to deal with dictatorships than democratic powers, i know, look at Turkey for example they used to be a secular pro Israel government now they are a radicalized anti Israel government. so i cant think of any western government that is trying to topple these…

you think that because it looks stable its stable? its a dictatorship the people of Jordan will want to have the power of leadership in their hands. its a matter of time until they do it, and it would be like it is in Syria it will start as a peoples revolution and end as ISIS.

why do you think Jordan needs better weapons? other than to defend them self's from AK-47 slinging rag-heads they have no enemy's. they have a well trained 150K size army that is way bigger and better trained than any jihad organization that would want to overthrow the Jordanian government. if there a need for better…

you have to know the politics behind the fact that Jordan doesn't have many precision guided bombs. they may want to buy them and they may be willing to pay to get them but the US wont sell them to Jordan because Jordan is an unstable government that resides near Americas only real ally in the middle east, Israel.…

it there a reason this is a jet and the C-130 a prop? whats the advantage of a jet other then speed?

it would cost 10,500,000 per metric ton of ordinance to have them in space. the price per kilogram for sending things into space is about 10,000 dollars and even more if you want the weapons to be in high orbit. the weapon system would have to be large to accommodate all of the functions you would need it to do.…

and is made in the US.
israel is trying to find something to replace the saar 5 as its to small for the mission israel needs it for. they were considering making a stretched saar 5 that could accommodate more weapons.
