What a great time to be a defense contractor and double dip by owning stock.

Surprise, surprise, even WSJ falls for BS regarding a "Ninja Bomb", more than likely based not on rational and vetted facts but instead on rumors that originated with "video game warriors.". The actual weapon is a very small TBX warhead placed inside a mostly empty, AGM-114 ("hellfire") type air-frame. The missile was modified specifically to lower the cost of the original AGM-114 (which was meant to be used against tanks and heavily armored targets) while also significantly reducing "collateral damage", when used for "targeted individual personnel" (i.e. targeted assassination). due to the much lighter warhead, the missile's center of gravity as well as center of dynamic stability changed, requiring an aerodynamic stabilization solution, in the form of the six expandable knife-like wings protruding from the missile body frontal section. The "Ninja Myth" is nothing but stupid conjecture information proliferated on the Internet by substandard "drone journalists"...

Completely different fish with different and wide roles, so for initial US price i'd say it's more than reasonable, if they do the claimed jobs. Note that planned wartime economies and centrally enforced MIC in autocracies like China, Iran, Russia, N. Korea etc. are bond to be an order of magnitude cheaper per unit (while still wasting billions on corrupted and failed propaganda projects though). Ukraine is an unique case, where free market and MIC is stretched to maximum and does not exactly follow the western profit rules, with mixed costs (materials and imported parts are not as cheap as their adversaries, while wages are now lower, which was other way round before the full-scale war). Ukrainian designed or adapted single-purpose weapons are better value in given circumstances, but you're comparing apples to orangutans here.

Technology has changed significantly since WW2. WW2 was about mass production, but not very high tech. This translated to a similar situation on the battlefield - large masses of soldiers, lots of deaths. Nowadays, especially in the West, the strategy has shifted towards fewer - much fewer - weapons systems, but highly specialized and extremely advanced technologically. This shapes the battlefields similarly - far fewer deaths. In WW2, you were sometimes sending out two dozen bombers to drop literally tens of tons of shells over a rather large area to destroy one single factory, and still not damage the target significantly. Nowadays, you send out a single missile, and in 99 cases out of 100 you completely obliterate the target. Overall, although individual weapons are orders of magnitude more expensive nowadays than they were in WW2, war overall is cheaper, especially in terms of human deaths.

The Triton should have a camera at the tip of the sail in addition to the weatehr data sensors. That extra height can significantly increase its line of sight, especially if you have large waves. I think it would be helpful to have a thermite device to destroy sensitive equipment is captured. It wouldn't hurt if the thermite also burns through the deck of the the capturing vessel. lol The M-10 Booker does not need anywhere near as much protection as the M-1 Abrams. Because the Booker is an infantry fire support vehicle, it really should be behind an infantry screen and never infront of the infantry, in theory. In contrast, the M-1 is intended to exploit breakthroughs, and therefore potentially expoied from all directions. To a large extent, some of its defense lies in its speed. While the ICBM silos are spread out over 4 states, silos are also purposely clustered locally. The individual silos are spaced sufficiently apart that a single incoming warhead can not destroy two silos. However, they are close enough that the detonation of an incoming warhead may destroy (or at the very least, knock off course) other incoming warheads targeting the other silos. The silos are in teh ground and hardened. The incoming warheads are in teh air and unprotected. It should be noted that the Arleigh-Burkes are not solely dependent on the AN/SPY-1. They can also take targetting data from other assets, such as ground radar, AWAC, or even a F-35. This may give the Arleigh-Burke more reaction time, especially against terrain following cruise missiles. While Russia was using five times the artillery shells than Ukraine, better artillery spotting, combined with much more accurate artillery, has allowed Ukraine to almost approach artillery parity with Russia.

A periscope or snorkel trail is very easily recognized from the air, it was exploited as far back as WWII. Nowadays with the quantity of sensors in the air, much more, especially with the sail deployed. Objects on the sea are more easily detected and tracked than on the ground, as the sea is very uniform in contrast to the different geographical accidents that land offers for concealment.

When there is a new model order, I would hope allowance is made for in line first order improvements should such occur prior to completion of a first order. Seems to me, if significant, any feasible improvements should be added to the first model if caught in time; rather than simply waiting until the first order is finished as ordered. Seems wasteful to complete any order without known improvements being incorporated, just for the sake of preserving the completeness of the first, or any order. Rather, when a significant improvement can be added to the original order, simply negotiate the cost adjustment, add the improvement to the remain see of the first order, calling it a 10A. After that, pray tell, include those improvements and any subsequent others into a second model grouping for future orders.

No it’s not! Are you a troll or an adversary? Talk like that is insane. Maybe US 🇺🇸 should disband the Military? Borders are open and inflation is growing. Guess we need not attempt defense else Contractors are blamed for promoting War? PATHETIC!

Upgraded Bradleys supporting Bookers, supported by Abrams. That is one hellova force to be reckoned with.

I think there is a bit of confusion about the Russian tanks reactive armor (pictured) and the shells used by the auto loader, which is internal to the tanks. Fun video that is also informative, thanks!

You can always make sure the command to use weapons has to be givin while everything else is autonomous. Maybe the drone relays target information and then a person in another aircraft or on the ground issues the command. So the drone relays the information and then a human picks the play or strategy to attack the target. Make it so the drone can't enable armed and ready to fire mode without a human. Doesn't have to be optional. Even with man in a cockpit a drone can do many autonomous functions. Tracking, targeting. All before allowed to fire by a physical switch. Or a man does some task while the Ai does others. The neat thing is. With larger drones that they normally remote control anyway. A supercomputer burried in a mountain near a nations borders can remote control the drones through the same satellite link by taking over the remote control when we hand the controls over and read all sensor data from all aircraft such as drones and whatever and come up with better strategies including how to jam or avoid jamming. So a supercomputer can bring anything we have just one frame of information about from any sensor a man may have missed to the attention of a man who can make a decision. Good thing Nvidia with the new Blackwell technology made a new chip that with just one rack on a server or datacenter is more powerful than the current most powerful supercomputer and it's Ai at 1.4 escale for one rack and supercomputers usually have many racks. So within a few years tops we will be beyond exoscale to the next scale There is no way to know if a man is piloting something inside or remotely or autonomously. And no way to verify any of this without spilling other military secrets about any aircraft. Because you would need insoections of hardware and possibly software to verify. Then add in with SSD's you can hot swap datasets / instruction sets. For example a drone learns from humans and from flying and doing missions. Then you can swap out the SSD and review everything at a base. Then you can decide if the algorithms the drone learned are good enough to go to a whole fleet or if you want to tweak. Then anytime a mission needs something else entirely. Swap the SSD's out and new ones in and ready to go wants weapons or other equipment is loaded. And that would spherehead any attempt at knowing if an adversary is using ai because they could swap in a dumber system software set within minutes. I figured at minimum supercomputers will help man and optionally take over the remote control a man normally uses. Just the processing of all image data and mapping faster and more efficiently than humans is a major bonus. And this doesn't have to be outside of any internal ai the drone as for when there is no communication. For example. During jamming the drone can complete the task and fly home because of terrain mapping it does while flying and also having maps preloaded from satellites including the live maps when not jammed from satellites. There is nothing stopping us from doing any of this. The hardest part is finding a good setup where we don't always allow the drones to have control but is only optional when needed. For example. We are in a bad war. Maybe it even went nuclear. Well we can use autonomous drones for when we need a direct hit but we couldn't survive the mushroom cloud. A man could fly it all the way to target optionally unless it gets jammed at the last minute. Sure we won't let AI be in control of nukes but if a war is bad enough. We may need to hit a hardened target precisely. For this a drone could get low and dive to the target with controlled flight. Either release a weapon or be the weapon. Works even better if it's stealth.

@@001vern The reason that Russia and Ukraine have been losing a very large amount of equipment to drones is because they lack any defense systems against small UAVs and neither side has air superiority. The U.S. currently has anti UAV weapons at its disposal and is currently producing many of them to use so it would be different circumstances.

Basically, technology like drones, guided glide bombs, and constant surveillance capabilities means armour is useless now. It goes to show how hopeless it is for infantry and armoured personnel in a modern conflict. You are sitting ducks to people in computer rooms far away from the front lines.

Not necessarily equal to the outside, but enough to soften the blow and prevent fatalities. Biggest issue i thought would be to create an airtight area around the neck at least for a short time, indefinetly ofcause could be better, but for the duration of such an attack would at least prevent the worst there then. Gels put under pressure,chemical quick foam for one time use, something like that. The supersonic debris, there a full body armor might be needed indeed, but how far away are we with current moddels that are reinforcing vital areas?

So in Ukraine the drone war is getting scary. The soldiers getting attacked by those drones don't always see them. Sometimes they go about their business and even looked right at the drone above there head and didn't even notice. Then when not having designated targets. They go out on hunts with drones 24x7. Day and night. Then the scary parts is seeing drones do circles soldiers trying to get away from and trying to hit with sticks. But the drone operator is toying with them because he could have already hit the button to kill him. Then goes in for the kill and target eliminated. Or other footage i seen where a guy hides from a drond behind a tree but doesn't see the drone behind him. Other things i seen on different media is how they also use land drones to go bomb them in foxholes or land drones to sometimes recover aircraft drones by hooking up and hauling them back. Ukraine is a lot more experienced with the smaller civilian sized drones for combat than we are. Then add Russia is always on the hunt for drones. You sometimes hear them but can't pinpoint exactly where they are and you hope they don't see you. Other things i seen is that sometimes when Ukraine launches drones into Russia then they get jammed. Keep going and then sometimes unjam after they are outside of jamming range and regain control. And if you see one drone there is usually several around. They fly in buildings with blown out windows or opened doors or blown out ealls and everything else to hit there targets such as men on foot. Oddly the drones have been fairly accurate and most of the time hitting their targets. I see at least one that managed to fly the drone in the tank hatch itself. I seen other footage where another drone swings around. Stops for a second then darts at a Russian tank and the turret blows off. Sometimes they are strapping old RPG style grenades to them for the tanks. Drone Still light enough to carry and blow up a Russian tank. They only need the explosive part of the rpg. When jammed they send more drones out while sitting in a bunker and keep trying. The video feed usually gets jammed first. They use one drone that not dji brand. That has the target tracking and stuff some consumer drones have. Usually they replace optics with better optics. Infrared or whatever. I been watching a lot of the journalist videos that came out recently. Like Darwin's war from scripps news. It's about Ukraine's ace fpv pilot. And several other journalist shows about drones on the front lines in Ukraine that all came out within the last month or 2. I forgot to add. When jammed they keep sending more out until successful. Then maybe the first few came up short but they only need one to make it to the target. So after a few drones or so they got the target despite the jamming.

Ukraine has found the GLSDB does not work when fired from artillery. They have had to modify them to use as air-dropped and in that capacity work real well... but when fired from artillery, they simply don't work.

imagine a stealthed version of the triton, armed with enough explosive to silently attach to an enemy submarine and blow a huge hole in its side. This obviously would explosively decompress the sub and destroy it. Wow! A 3-5 million dollar weapon system like that able to take out an enemy sub that costs a thousand times more to build and operate!

1. Russia is saying they will use nuclear weapons first if NATO countries attacks them directly 2. Putin is scared of NATO conventional superiority 3. Russia focuses more on Nukes Everyone knows - none of the sides wants to use nukes, because that exchange will kill all of us. Conventional weapons are defensive and offensive, while nukes are considered only as repellent (for enemy to think twice of gambling) Russia is showing weakness in conventional war and the West still call them aggressive?
