Comment on M230 Chain Gun – Apache Attack Weapon by solder boy

#11 Meeh said “Great stuff. Muslims make Nazis and Communists look like Barney the Dinosaur by comparison.” All muslims including Kareem Abdul Jabar, Amad Rashad, and millions of other freedom loving American Muslims including those serving in our armed forces?

Alas boys, I’m afraid you all need to grow up a bit. This adoration of the tools of war is more than a bit misplaced. True patriots are willing to fight and die for their country however reluctantly in knowing the enormous costs in death and destruction war inevitably brings.

We may hate war but the tools used to conduct wars will be forever glorified. The Apache gunship is a damned impressive machine both for how it looks and what it can do. Let’s not forget though that its sole purpose is to destroy.

To see in this video the Apache instead vaporize a tree our a rusted out car or something inanimate would most likely leave the above commentators with little or nothing to say. Which would probably be a good thing.

Comment on V22 Osprey – Hybrid Helicopter Aircraft of the Future by Dallas

Dallas — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 03:47:58 +0000

This is another new weapon system that I don’t trust. Supposedly it’s done well in Afghanistan, but I’ve seen too many clips of some horrific wrecks with this thing. How will it hold up under real battle conditions, with 20 mm or heavier? I know you can say the same with regards to helos, but they have proven themselves. Also intensive use could be a problem. I can see the wings cracking like a paper clip that has been bent too much–yes, even composites will break down under too much real world stress. One might also ask–is the speed advantage worth the greater price? I have my doubts. I think better alternatives could have been found.

Comment on Military Hovercraft – LCAC by Dallas

Dallas — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 03:41:26 +0000

This craft is supposed to ride on a cushion of air contained in the rubber skirt. What will happen if the enemy shoots big holes in the rubber? Have these things ever actually been tested in real combat conditions? I know there are advantages to LCAC technology, but in the end, with shells and bullets flying, will they prove too vulnerable?

Russia is not the threat. China is and Russia would be quite willing to supply this aircraft to the Chinese.

The Chinese have the money to mass produce this. We’ve given them the money.

If cluster bombs are so effective then why spend money on more expensive air to ground nati tank missiles .

Comment on Eurofighter Typhoon Fighter-Bomber by Kurt

Kurt — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 15:46:26 +0000

Planes come at a price. For 1 F22 Raptor you can buy at least 1.5 Eurofighter Typhoon. So how do 3 Typhoon compare in aerial combat to 2 Raptors? That boils down to stealth, the expensive part of the Raptor. However there’s a problem with stealth, you can also see blind spots on a radar. Watching for natural radiation from space, the biggest passive radar device, you can spot things that are opaque and don’t appear on radar. Hey presto, you’ve found the F 22. This stealth concept is in my opinion a bit misleading because it’s hyperbole of the real low observeability aspect. The airspace on earth is a large place to cover and as long as you don’t know where to look you have a hard time locating targets. The problem is even greater for smart munitions that can be fooled much easier the lower the observeability of the target is for them. Last, but not least stealth to radar is just one expensive option for achieving non-radr observation. Others are well known like the Israelis do with UAVs targeting radar emission sources for destruction. So like Israel showed, you can fight enemy radar into silence and thus also achieve stealth because none illuminates the radar reflecting aircrafts with a radar beam. So to fully assess the problem, we have to analyze the threat environment and the multiple solutions possible for a given task. So the F22 can for example stumble across opponents with both sides relying on external reconnaissance via space based assets for example.
However, I would agree that the Typhoon has to improve for being a direct competitor to the F22, at least considering new engines with thrust vectoring and lowered IR signature and it seems they’re doing it.

Why is every website so behind the times? The project to refit Challenger 2 with the smoothbore gun was cancelled by the new Coalition government in the UK over a year ago. Instead, new three part Tungston ammunition is being developed to mach the performance of the German and US smoothbore rounds.

To d Americans, U may stand for peace today, but oneday u’ll be tempted to go opposite………..but as for me, the u. s military will begin world war III (probably, against iran, russia and china) so prepare u may loose this time……..it’s TICKING and u can hear it too. Fair warning, keep ur technology secret and safe ur ego. I love america……from Nigeria

Detected when launch? Lol, the one who bluff is the US. Moreover when the US got these weapons, there’s no problem although it start unending wars but when iran have it, its a whole drama they do! I pity your intellectual standards.

Comment on If Looks Could Kill – The Sukhoi SU-47 Berkut by Ethan

Ethan — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 06:57:26 +0000

For him to be firing at your six, he would either have to pass into visual range or go along the outside of visual range. Both of these are undesirable as passing into visual range means the Russians can get up close and personal; skirting around means it take more fuel to get into position and the Su-47 could turn into your direction which yields the same result. Also I believe someone has said this before: the Su-47 lacks much or any propoganda to it’s name where as the F-22′s is plentiful. While this doesn’t change physics, it does mean that the American military can portray it as being far deadlier than actually is

Forward swept wings were abandon due to instability at transonic and above speeds. Great manueverabilty at less than 500knts, but stability is a BIG issue the faster you go. Wings have to be extremely rigid, any flexing along undesired lines tears them off. Any notion of stealth for these craft are pure propoganda. Reduced radar signatures, fine, but any useful degree of stealth, uhm, no. As far as missiles go, F22 is going to fire from your six, detecting the missile will not save you, as out manouvering a missile requires getting it on your 9 o’clock for a high speed in-turning pass. That ain’t happening from your six, where a mach3 missle hits you in seconds, sorry. As far as dogfighting, we’re only discussing daytime here, as any night WILL belong to raptors, period. Going up after dark would be suicidal. If an F22 pilot allows himself to get caught in a close-in dogfight, he hasn’t done his job, not the technique intended, however- even if he does, if he gets out of visual even once, he’ll kill you. Russians have one thing going for them, and it’s a biggie- it’s the off-bore tracking and infra-red missile system. Tried and tested on the fulcrums, this is the most lethal system for dogfighting currently in existance. Wish the US had a system that advanced. Even that advantage may be short-lived, current low-power laser systems capable of blinding any infra-red missile are already in development.

Absolute nonsense! I’ve flown my share of R/C micro-helicopters and they can only be flown inside, or at times outside if there is NO breeze. Something this small would be blown away from from something as small as a bird fart! What a freaking waste of tax payers money.

@Bobert

You cannot GARANTEE that either the Su-37/47 will never see production. Ever heard of Secrets, moron? Obviously not, because otherwise you wouldn’t make such rash decisions about aircraft production. Russia has one of the LARGEST industrial outputs on the planet. You think that in the event of war, Russia won’t just sling it into production anyway, just because they’re not producing it now, doesn’t mean they’ll never put it into production. F22 costs approximately $150,000,000 per AIRCRAFT. Su-37/47 wouldn’t cost anywhere near that. As Stalin said “quantity has a quality of it’s own”

OK, here we go. For those fan boys of the SU-47 and SU-37 what is the single main difference between these two and the F-22 Raptor? Answer, The F-22 actually saw a production run where as BOTH the SU-47 and SU-37 where BOTH SCRAPPED. Neither the Su-47 nor the 37 will EVER see a production run. MAybe you people just like to wank to the dreams of what could of been rather then face the dim reality of what you have.

hey guy who calls himself me like a smartypants! I am 13 and I can hit a small MOVING target at about 30 yards with a 20-gauge. I shoot skeet. Personally i would rather use my trusty 20-gauge than an assault rifle. Though, now that I think about it, I’ve never shot a rifle or a pistol, so I can’t say I wouldn’t.
