Agreed, but the still frame of the video can do some wild things too. I think I have an ID on the vessel class for you to compare size-wise. Read more

They certainly have warned of it more and more. Read more

The fused rounds that are used by the Millenium gun and others are supposedly pretty awesome for this type of thing. But the issue is, if you have dozens of these things coming at you at once, how fast can you engage etc. That is where a deep salvo of Hellfires guided by millimeter wave radar goes a long way for… Read more

Always! That is what I am here for. Read more

I have to write for a wide audience, a descriptive and TOW with link embedded works well for people who aren’t all up on anti-armor weaponry. Read more

There is a school of thought that says at the deepest darkest part of their ideology they want the US and the west to intervene in a long ugly battle on the ground, that all this is a form of baiting strategy. In reality I think you see them throwing everything they can at anyone who thinks differently. Targets of… Read more

That is showing the missile in flight, basically you are seeing the hot exhaust from the sustainer motor Read more

On the C-802, yes that is correct. Read more

Unmanned or manned swarms of our own is seen as a very effective option as well. Other things, like adapting sensor fused weapons into mortars are also a possibility until laser defenses really spool up in capability. Read more

In this case an active CIWS would have been the only thing that could save them once the missile is in the air. As far as Griffins, it is a possibility, but right now, a Longbow Radar type setup and the AGM-114L Hellfire is a better solution. Read more

A lot of that stuff comes up through the horn of Africa and across the Sinai to end up in Hamas’s hands. Although the idea that Iran would directly supply it is totally impossible. Iran sees IS as massive threat. But that does not mean it could not have changed hands through force or the black market arms trade that… Read more

War gamed many times since the early 2000s, which showed such tactics could sink a Carrier Strike Group. Since then some countermeasures have been put into place, most notably the Bushmaster chain guns on surface combatants and upgrades to the Phalanx and RAM close in weapon systems to engage surface targets. Also,… Read more

No, that pass was not low, as far as if it was off his track laterally I have no clue, but altitude was not an issue. Sneak passes during remote shows can be extremely low. The geography of the show-site probably had a lot to do with this. As far as the video you show, yes that was a pretty crazy stunt. But this was…

That’s what it said. Not many trigger pulls. What like two maybe? Read more

not really, I post stuff contradictory to an editorial narrative quite often. A line F-35 talking about his take on the jet’s systems is news. Read more

Red Flag is a soft version of what we are talking about when it comes to a near peer state foe these days. Hate to break it to people but it is the truth. Investments need to bs made to mirror capabilities that even 2nd rate actors possess these days. A lot of it is going virtual because some tactics just cannot be… Read more

Good points, disagree on the UCAS, post up by end of next week to start down that road Read more

yeah, that video shows 220rd burst from the pod and that's aboot it Read more

awesome! shoot me an email tyler@jalopnilk.com Read more

Sorry you don’t like the title man, we work together on these, some people love them some don’t. We never know till we try. I will take note and pass it along.
