  21. Exactly, even Russias own patent admits it(source below), as it's engine have to shut off(scram jets cant work at low altitude), can lose stability do to no engine power and even self destruct do to pressure coming back down to it's target in it's terminal phase. This is why every nation still uses subsonic cruise missiles, they can preform full S maneuvers. "Russian patent number 2579409 relates to the field of rocket technology, and more specifically to hypersonic cruise missiles equipped with a hypersonic ramjet engine. The invention describes a method of application and device hypersonic cruise missile (CRPD), allowing to solve the problem of performing a combat mission to destroy ground and surface targets of such a missile. The described invention is designed to maximize the combat potential of the CMP with the scramjet. The design mode for the scramjet are high-altitude cruise conditions while maintaining the estimated cruise speed, and the need to reduce the altitude and flight speed creates difficult technical problems due to the fact that: an engine designed to perform a hypersonic mid-flight at high altitude is not able to continue to work at low-altitude trajectory sections associated with a decrease in the flight number M, hence, the rocket must approach the ground or surface target with an inactive engine; characteristics of sustainability and controllability of CRPD with inactive scramjet significantly deteriorate, loss of stability becomes possible; there is also a danger of destruction of the scramjet design due to the increase in pressure in the flow part of the engine while reducing the CMP from the march height before hitting the target."

  75. "virtually undetectable" Jesus, guys at least get someone who knows what they are talking about when writing a script. Hypersonic missiles are covered in plasma, any IRST let alone AESA radar can track it. Shooting it down is where it is harder. Tracking it is easier then a subsonic sea skimming, under the radar horizon missile. You literally stated hypersonic missiles fly below the radar horizon like a god damn sub sonic cruise missile which is hilarious. The radar horizon has to do with Earths curvature and not space... Hypersonic missiles are flying high not low... LOL. Hypersonic missiles are also not maneuverable in their terminal phase. They literally have to shut their engines off, can lose stability because they have no engine power, and even self destruct from the thicker air density all according to the Russians own patent. You literally got someone who had no idea what they are talking about to make stuff up. That's amazing to me. Say they could maneuver, using the mach 10 speed stated here that's 3.4km/s rounding down for ease say you wanted to move a single degree for 5 seconds at 3km/s you would be off course 15km. Math is math, patents are patents. Bad video. "Russian patent number 2579409 relates to the field of rocket technology, and more specifically to hypersonic cruise missiles equipped with a hypersonic ramjet engine.

  105. The FBI has, source and a few key points below. They found a lot on the Bidens and refuse to do anything. Government source not my opinion. Will take over a day to read the whole thing. Replace the two (DOT) do to youtube censorship. hsgac.senate(DOT)gov/imo/media/doc/HSGAC_Finance_Report_FINAL(DOT)pdf 1)"And, as will be discussed in later sections, Hunter Biden was not the only Biden who cashed in on Joe Biden’s vice presidency." 2)"[T]he bottom line was, I said I believe that this creates the perception of a potential conflict of interest, given Vice President Biden’s role and his very strong advocacy for anticorruption action, and that I thought that someone needed to talk to Hunter Biden, and he should [step] down from the board of Burisma." 3)"The awkwardness for Obama administration officials continued well past his presidency. Former Secretary of State John Kerry had knowledge of Hunter Biden’s role" 4)"Hunter Biden’s association with Burisma continued to be an “awkward” conflict of interest State Department officials had to manage." 5)"Because the vice president’s son had a direct link to a corrupt company and its owner, State Department officials were required to maintain situational awareness of Hunter Biden’s association with Burisma. Unfortunately, U.S. officials had no other choice but to endure the “awkward[ness]” of continuing to push an anticorruption agenda in Ukraine while the vice president’s son sat on the board of a Ukrainian company with a corrupt owner, earning tens of thousands of dollars a month." 6)Archer received $142,300 from Kenges Rakishev of Kazakhstan, purportedly for a car, the same day Vice President Joe Biden appeared with Ukrainian Prime Minister Arsemy Yasenyuk and addressed Ukrainian legislators in Kyiv regarding Russia’s actions in Crimea. Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow. 7)"Burisma made direct payments to Joe Biden in the amount of $900,000"

  112. Paratroopers in the US have a great song. It's called Blood Upon the Risers(Gory Gory What A Hell Of A Way To Die), posted below, im sure the UK has some good ones too. [Verse 1] He was just a rookie trooper and he surely shook with fright, He checked off his equipment and made sure his pack was tight; He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar, You ain't gonna jump no more [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more [Verse 2] "Is everybody happy?" cried the Sergeant looking up, Our hero feebly answered, "yes" and then they stood him up; He jumped into the icy blast, his static line unhooked, And he ain't gonna jump no more [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more [Verse 3] He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock, He felt the wind, he felt the cold, he felt the awful drop, The silk from his reserves spilled out, and wrapped around his legs, And he ain't gonna jump no more [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more [Verse 4] The risers swung around his neck, connectors cracked his dome, Suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones; The canopy became his shroud; he hurtled to the ground. And he ain't gonna jump no more [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more [Verse 5] The days he'd lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind, He thought about the girl back home, the one he'd left behind; He thought about the medic corps, and wondered what they'd find, And he ain't gonna jump no more [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more [Verse 6] The ambulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild, The medics jumped and screamed with glee, they rolled their sleeves and smiled, For it had been a week or more since last a 'chute had failed, And he ain't gonna jump no more [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more [Verse 7] He hit the ground, the sound was "SPLAT", his blood went spurting high; His comrades, they were heard to say "a hell of a way to die!" He lay there, rolling 'round in the welter of his gore, And he ain't gonna jump no more [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more [Verse 8] There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the chute, Intestines were a-dangling from his paratroopers suit, He was a mess, they picked him up, and poured him from his boots, And he ain't gonna jump no more [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, He ain't gonna jump no more

  124. Because there is no such thing as an " Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile." It's all propaganda. Using math, lets use a slower missiles the Zircon, it's max speed is mach 9, converting to KM/S that's about 3km/s. Say you want to move only a single degree for 5 seconds at 3km/s you are now off target 15km... Now imagine trying to do it at mach 10-15... It's not going to happen. Here is another thing most people don't know, the Russias patent for scram and ramjet engines even state the missiles can not maneuver... Ballistic missiles are used on stationary targets, not moving ships. The Chinse DF is all propaganda, unless someone can use math and prove me wrong. "Russian patent number 2579409 relates to the field of rocket technology, and more specifically to hypersonic cruise missiles equipped with a hypersonic ramjet engine. The invention describes a method of application and device hypersonic cruise missile (CRPD), allowing to solve the problem of performing a combat mission to destroy ground and surface targets of such a missile. The described invention is designed to maximize the combat potential of the CMP with the scramjet. The design mode for the scramjet are high-altitude cruise conditions while maintaining the estimated cruise speed, and the need to reduce the altitude and flight speed creates difficult technical problems due to the fact that: an engine designed to perform a hypersonic mid-flight at high altitude is not able to continue to work at low-altitude trajectory sections associated with a decrease in the flight number M, hence, the rocket must approach the ground or surface target with an inactive engine; characteristics of sustainability and controllability of CRPD with inactive scramjet significantly deteriorate, loss of stability becomes possible; there is also a danger of destruction of the scramjet design due to the increase in pressure in the flow part of the engine while reducing the CMP from the march height before hitting the target."

  136. And Norway blames Iran for the first incident... "(Reuters) - Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) are “highly likely” to have facilitated attacks last Sunday on four tankers including two Saudi ships off Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates, according to a Norwegian insurers’ report seen by Reuters" Not to mention They should have been bombed the first time they broke the UN resolution and US deal. "But, the United Nations Security Council resolution (Paragraph 3 of Annex B of resolution 2231, 2015) is clear. The resolution “calls upon Iran not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology." Also: The second UN Security Council resolution 1929 indicates “Iran shall not undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using ballistic missile technology, and that States shall take all necessary measures to prevent the transfer of technology or technical assistance to Iran related to such activities”. Lets not forget: "In addition, the Joint Plan of Action Agreement (JCPOA) of the nuclear agreement between P5+1 and Iran is crystal clear in stating that Iran should not undertake any ballistic missiles activity “until the date eight years after the JCPOA Adoption Day or until the date on which the IAEA submits a report confirming the Broader Conclusion, whichever is earlier.”

  143. ​ @philipcoffman4372  The S300 sucks, it sucks so bad they had to rename it the S400, as the S400 was literally called the S300 originally. It's been beaten many times sources below "The S-400 Triumf NATO reporting name: SA-21 Growler), previously known as the S-300 PMU-3" "Against S400 ? It has 600km radar , i dont think it can do anything agaist that" It's radar can track large objects(10+ square meters), and objects up to 4 square meter up to around 400km. "The anti-Stealth targeting range for the 91N6E panoramic radar has been declared to be 150 km. Maximum detection ranges (as determined by the radar's characteristics) are: 230 kilometers for ballistic targets 390 km for a target with an RCS of 4 square meters 570 km for a target of strategic bomber size" The EA18 growler RCS is classified but the F/A18 has a 1m2 RCS so it's less then that. "Remember donald cook and su24 with jamming system "khibini" turned donald cook off with aegis and every screen got black .....as soon as they came to romani an port several of sailors didnt want to serve anymore and signed the discharge papers." Please troll someone else i block blatant trolls. The Su24 doesn't have khibiny... You can't just disable an entire ship they run off different systems... To openly attack a ship at sea would star a war. Lay off the Russian propaganda. I mean even the manufacture came out and said it was fake lol. "According to no less than the manufacturer of the Russian EW system, known as the Concern of Radio-Electronic Technology, which is part of state enterprise Rostech, the system is only installed on Su-30, Su-34 and Su-35 aircraft." S400 failing sources: Youtube "Tomahawk Missile Remains, at Syrian Air Base - Close Up and Personal" to see Russias own ANNA news show off a tomahawk defeating the S300/400 and them showing off the damage. Can't link do to youtube censorship. "Modern methods of warfare are different from those of the 90s. Unmanned aircraft is an important factor in our combat capability, especially in such fortified areas…. Both Turkish Israeli drones helped us a lot. We have destroyed at least 6 S-300 air defense systems using them,” Aliyev said during an interview with the General Director of the Interfax-Azerbaijan agency Anar Azizov." "Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) commander Brigadier General Farzad Ismaili, who had been in office since 2010, has been fired by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after he kept secret that Israeli Air Force (IAF) F-35 stealth fighters had violated Iran’s airspace, the Kuwaiti daily Al Jarida reported on Saturday." "Russia’s advanced air defense systems, the S-300s and S-400s, were ineffectual in detecting Israeli F-35 stealth fighters flying over Syrian capital Damascus, Israeli media reported. Israeli media published the flight route of its planes, reportedly F-35 Adir jets, that showed the jets entering Syrian airspace and crossing over its capital city, evading hundreds of kilometres of area shielded by Russian-made air defense systems."

  164. ​ @lewisallan9963  Always that one person trying to argue on a comment praising the UK. The QE class can go on mission for 45 days, the Nimitz can go on missions for 90 days. " Both HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales will keep 45 days' worth of food in its stores." "The ships normally carries enough food and supplies to operate for 90 days. Four distilling units enable NIMITZ-class engineers to make over 400,000 gallons of fresh water from seawater a day, for use by the propulsion plants, catapults and crew. The ship carries approximately 3 million gallons of fuel for her aircraft and escorts, and enough weapons and stores for extended operations without replenishment." "And with some country's not allowing nuclear powered ships" 99 percent of the world allows nuclear powered ships. Australia allows them. "tourism Minister, Mark McGowan today welcomed more than 5,000 senior officers and crew aboard USS NIMITZ (CVN-68) to Western Australia." Italy? They allow them... "For years a dozen Italian seaports have been decrying the risks they run as bases for nuclear powered or nuclear armed U.S. warships (submarines, aircraft carriers): Augusta, Brindisi, Cagliari, Castellammare di Stabia, Gaeta, La Maddalena, La Spezia, Livorno, Napoli, Taranto, Trieste, Venezia." Germany? The UK? France? "Nimitz conducted her second abnormally dangerous navigational detail of the deployment as she transited the English Channel (with its high volume of shipping) en route from Wilhelmshaven, West Germany, to Brest, France." Japan? "Ronald Reagan made five deployments to the Pacific and Middle East between 2006 and 2011 while based at Naval Air Station North Island. In October 2015, Ronald Reagan replaced USS George Washington as the flagship of Carrier Strike Group Five, the only forward-based carrier strike group home-ported at Yokosuka, Japan, as part of the United States Seventh Fleet" South Korea? "U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Michael D. White, the commander of Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 11 and Rear Adm. William McQuilkin, the commander of U.S. Naval Forces Korea, pose with local dignitaries aboard the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) in Busan, " India? "The carrier departed North Island for its thirteenth deployment on 2 April 2007 to the Arabian Sea, relieving USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in support of OIF. It anchored off Chennai, India on 2 July 2007 as part of efforts to expand bilateral defense cooperation between India and the United States." 25-29 May 1991: Nimitz anchored at Dubai 11-12 Mar 1993: Nimitz sailed through the Strait of Malacca 18 Jun 1993: Nimitz sailed outbound through the Strait of Hormuz into the Arabian Sea 13-14 Feb 1998: Nimitz anchored off Port Suez, Egypt, and passed through the Suez Canal 21-23 Apr 1985: Nimitz anchored in Augusta Bay, Sicily, to turn over to Dwight D. Eisenhower. 31 Dec 1988-6 Jan 1989: Nimitz anchored at Singapore , affording her crew their first port of call after 71 punishing days at sea.

  206. Rolling Thunder Please troll elsewhere. Russias best SAM the S400(until the S500 is released ) has a 600km range... THAAD the US equivalent has a 3000km range.... The US is light years ahead. Patriots and Tomahawks are cheap thats exactly the point, shoot off cheap missiles to overload the SAMS the main threat because as stated each S400 only has 4 silos which take an hour to reload. Russia does not have the stock pile of missiles or time to keep up loading SAMs. Meanwhile the 19 air craft carriers the US has would be in port launching planes as the Russians have only 1 aircraft carrier and almost no Navy compared to the US. The way to beat any missile defense system is to sit back and overload it. If the US dropped 200+ bombs at once no Air defense system could withstand that and that is doable with cheaper missile like the Patriot and Tomahawk. "(Russian ASMs worth millions taking down American aircraft carriers worth tens of billions of dollars)." I truly also wanted to laugh at this and how I know you are trolling. You really think a air craft carrier surrounded by destroyers, planes, cruisers, other aircraft carriers are going to be shot down by nothing short of an all out attack, with missiles, planes, submarines,etc is a flat out troll. No side will fight or could fight and win with just missiles. Larger army, vehicles, stock piles, time, technology, etc all play a factor. And just to keep going the new RT-28 Sarmat, Russian new ICBM only has a range of 11,000KM compared to the Titan II (SM-68B, LGM-25C)which has a 16,000km range or the LGM-30 Minuteman III with a 13,000km range. You can believe all you want Russians are ahead in missile technology, but the facts say otherwise. By all means Russia has the best air defense system in the world, but the US does have the best military/technology in the world, they spend more then Russia and China combined, it should be expected.

  208. ​ @dragonstormdipro1013  LOL and the trolls come in. Where did I say anything about the Patriot or S400? The Patriot while not great on its own accord is more battle tested then the S400 and has worked more . Russia said the S400 could see stealth planes anywhere in its airspace and that was proven wrong with Israel, among others flew in Iran and Syria, and they couldn't shoot down slow moving Tomawhawks Russia claimed to have downed 71 of the 103. Then when video you can see right here on youtube of the missile striking and not being shot down came out, Russia changed their story and said the S400 was there and only monitored... They were caught in their own lie... (albeit thats how you defeat any SAM system, over-saturate it) The S400 can not see the F22 until 21km out and the F35 until 34km out, Israel already tested it in Iran hence the huge IRGC firing...(why do you think Russia/China is investing in stealth?) Russia said they downed 71 of the 103 missiles... "Russia claims Syria air defences shot down 71 of 103 missiles He said Russian air defences in Syria – including state of the art S-400 coastal missile batteries located at the Russian naval base at Tartus and elsewhere – monitored the strike but did not engage any of the missiles." "Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) commander Brigadier General Farzad Ismaili, who had been in office since 2010, has been fired by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after he kept secret that Israeli Air Force (IAF) F-35 stealth fighters had violated Iran’s airspace, the Kuwaiti daily Al Jarida reported on Saturday."

  217.  @lewisallan9963  "The carriers are operationaly limited by aviation fuel anyway, and by food, ext." Nuclear carriers can go on missions twice as long. Nuclear carriers also keep enough fuel and food to resupply the entire CSG... " Both HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales will keep 45 days' worth of food in its stores." "The ships normally carries enough food and supplies to operate for 90 days. Four distilling units enable NIMITZ-class engineers to make over 400,000 gallons of fresh water from seawater a day, for use by the propulsion plants, catapults and crew. The ship carries approximately 3 million gallons of fuel for her aircraft and escorts, and enough weapons and stores for extended operations without replenishment." "And the often overlooked benefit of them being non nuclear is that they can enter port in countries with regulations against nuclear powered ships which helps them with there secondary responsibility of building relations." Like where? Off the top of my head, the only ally we have that doesn't allow nuclear, is New Zealand... Even our adversaries, 99 percent of the world allows nuclear carriers. Australia allows them. "tourism Minister, Mark McGowan today welcomed more than 5,000 senior officers and crew aboard USS NIMITZ (CVN-68) to Western Australia." Italy? They allow them...

Japan? "Ronald Reagan made five deployments to the Pacific and Middle East between 2006 and 2011 while based at Naval Air Station North Island. In October 2015, Ronald Reagan replaced USS George Washington as the flagship of Carrier Strike Group Five, the only forward-based carrier strike group home-ported at Yokosuka, Japan, as part of the United States Seventh Fleet" South Korea? "U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Michael D. White, the commander of Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 11 and Rear Adm. William McQuilkin, the commander of U.S. Naval Forces Korea, pose with local dignitaries aboard the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) in Busan, " India? "The carrier departed North Island for its thirteenth deployment on 2 April 2007 to the Arabian Sea, relieving USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in support of OIF. It anchored off Chennai, India on 2 July 2007 as part of efforts to expand bilateral defense cooperation between India and the United States." 25-29 May 1991: Nimitz anchored at Dubai 11-12 Mar 1993: Nimitz sailed through the Strait of Malacca 18 Jun 1993: Nimitz sailed outbound through the Strait of Hormuz into the Arabian Sea 13-14 Feb 1998: Nimitz anchored off Port Suez, Egypt, and passed through the Suez Canal 21-23 Apr 1985: Nimitz anchored in Augusta Bay, Sicily, to turn over to Dwight D. Eisenhower. 31 Dec 1988-6 Jan 1989: Nimitz anchored at Singapore , affording her crew their first port of call after 71 punishing days at sea." PS why try to argue on a comment praising the UK?

  285. ​ @vadrak6197  "First of all the GMD missiles are way too few to intercept any massive Russian ICBM," You can say this for any nation as missile saturation is how you beat any SAM system. But having the best anti-ballistic missile system in the world will give you the best chance. You should also learn your ballistic phases of flight. You have boost, midcourse, and terminal. In it's own name it's meant to shoot ICBMs in the midcourse phase before it's MIRVs separate. But I guess the name was too hard for you to understand. " it needs 3 or even 4 GMDs to give a 97% chance" No SAM system sends a single missile to defend a target due to jamming, if the missile is sub or super sonic is can maneuver. And you call me ignorant to not know such a simple fact. "have been made specifically to avoid such interceptors as GMD by constantly change trajectory. " Hypersonic missiles can not maneuver. You literally have no idea what you are talking about. Lets use a slower hypersonic missile using math then the Russians own patent on scram/ram jet engines on how they have to turn their engines off(like when a ballistic missiles warhead leaves it's engines), has no power to maneuver, can lose stability, and can even self destruct coming back down to it's target do to the thicker atmosphere. So for math, please explain it to me mathematically how missiles moving at hypersonic speeds like im going to do to you. Using the Zircon missile for example it's top speed is mach 9, converting to KM/S that is about 3km/s, say you wanted to move a single degree for 5 seconds at 3km/s you would be off target 15km. Keep in mind ballistic missiles and hypersonic missiles ditch their engines/turn them off and can not maneuver in their terminal stage, and are moving much faster, so how do they maneuver going mach 20+? Why do you think ballistic missiles have such large CEPs, they can't maneuver. It just shows you are here to troll since you don't know the basics. "A ballistic missile follows a ballistic trajectory to deliver one or more warheads on a predetermined target. These weapons are guided only during relatively brief periods—most of the flight is unpowered." "Russian patent number 2579409 relates to the field of rocket technology, and more specifically to hypersonic cruise missiles equipped with a hypersonic ramjet engine. The invention describes a method of application and device hypersonic cruise missile (CRPD), allowing to solve the problem of performing a combat mission to destroy ground and surface targets of such a missile. The described invention is designed to maximize the combat potential of the CMP with the scramjet. The design mode for the scramjet are high-altitude cruise conditions while maintaining the estimated cruise speed, and the need to reduce the altitude and flight speed creates difficult technical problems due to the fact that: an engine designed to perform a hypersonic mid-flight at high altitude is not able to continue to work at low-altitude trajectory sections associated with a decrease in the flight number M, hence, the rocket must approach the ground or surface target with an inactive engine; characteristics of sustainability and controllability of CRPD with inactive scramjet significantly deteriorate, loss of stability becomes possible; there is also a danger of destruction of the scramjet design due to the increase in pressure in the flow part of the engine while reducing the CMP from the march height before hitting the target." "Even the SM-3 and THAAD to intercept anything they would have to catch the ballistic missile in the terminal phase" The SM-3 has shot down ICBMs in it's midcourse phase, the hardest part of the missiles flight path while it's in space. There are videos on youtube. "As for nuclear subs, you forgot to count that Russia has many dozen diesel subs also, which you dont have to underestimated," Diesel-electric subs are not comparable to nuclear at all to which the entire US submarine fleet is nuclear. To even try to compare the two is sad. The Tomahawk is nuclear capable and since Russia broke the INF and the US pulled out the SSGN subs all carry nuclear capable Tomahawks. "BGM-109G Ground Launched Cruise Missile – with a W84 nuclear warhead; withdrawn from service in 1991 to comply with the INF Treaty" As proven above Russia would lose much more as they do not have a Ground based midcourse defense type system. They are trying to with the A-235. Please troll someone else now or ill just block you, you literally have proven in your own words to not even know basic things like SSGNs carry nuclear capable tomahawks, you think ballistic missiles moving at mach 20+ can maneuver and will no way be able to prove it using math, you think countries use single missiles to try to defend their territory(I guess the F16 that dodged 6 SAMs was fake since nations only use a single missile) your ignorance just astounds me.

  292.  @donquixote812  Blocked, what do you get out of being a moronic troll? “Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer's life if necessary.” Plummer v. State, 136 Ind. 306. This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad Elk v. U.S.,177 U.S. 529. The Court stated: “Where the officer is killed in the course of the disorder which naturally accompanies an attempted arrest that is resisted, the law looks with very different eyes upon the transaction, when the officer had the right to make the arrest, from what it does if the officer had no right. What may be murder in the first case might be nothing more than manslaughter in the other, or the facts might show that no offense had been committed.” Ray Rosas a hispanic man shot 3 of them, legally. "CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A Nueces County jury that acquitted a man who shot Corpus Christi police officers executing a raid on his home said a “botched” operation and contradicting testimony led to their decision." Henry Magee killed one as well. "DALLAS — A Central Texas man who shot and killed a sheriff's deputy entering his home will not be charged with capital murder, attorneys said Thursday. A local grand jury declined Wednesday to indict Henry Goedrich Magee for the Dec. 19 death of Burleson County Sgt. Adam Sowders, who was part of a group of investigators executing a search warrant for Magee's rural home." Unnamed man shoots two cops. "Two Maryland police officers were shot while serving a drug-related search warrant at the wrong apartment late Wednesday, according to law enforcement officials. The resident shot the officers as soon as they opened the door, thinking they were home invaders, authorities said. No criminal charges will be filed against the man, Prince George's County Police Chief Hank Stawinski said Thursday." Ray Shetler Jr legally shoots cop who shot at him first. "In February, Ray Shetler Jr. was found not guilty on charges of first- and third-degree murder, terroristic threats and simple assault in the death of Officer Lloyd Reed. During the trial, witnesses testified that Officer Reed ordered Shetler to drop a rifle and the officer opened fire when Shetler did not comply. Shetler returned fire, striking Reed outside the officer’s bulletproof vest."

  328. ​ @ramatgan1  "Russia has the best air defence systems in the world" That would be the US with THAAD with it's almost 5000km radar range which Russia and China accused South Korea of using theirs to spy on them and the Ground based missile defense, that fastest missile in the world capable of mach 33. ""The AN/TPY-2 Surveillance Transportable Radar, also called the Forward Based X-Band Transportable (FBX-T) is a long-range, very high-altitude active digital antenna array X band surveillance radar designed to add a tier to existing missile and air defence systems. It has a range of 2,900 mi (2,500 nmi; 4,700 km)"" "The GBI consists of a 3-stage solid rocket boost vehicle which can place it's payload of an Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle outside the earth's atmosphere. In order to do this the missile must reach an escape velocity of more than 6.9 miles per second. This hypersonic speed is several times what a 7.62mm bullet travels leaving the muzzle of a gun. To put it another way, it reaches a speed of approximately Mach 33." "only country with genuine hypersonic capability." As proven above the US has the fastest hypersonic missile, they have had hypersonic missiles since the 1970s. The AIM-54 flew on the F-14s. "What's the use of a aircraft carrier when you have a hypersonic missile?!. It's becomes a sitting target!" Hypersonic missiles wont be used against ships do to their lack of maneuverability, Russia patent below stating they can't maneuver, need to shut their engines off, can lose stability and even self destruct coming back down to it's target. But first lets do some math. Zircons top speed is mach 9 right? Converting to km/s that is about 3km/s. Say you wanted to move a single degree for 5 seconds at 3km/s you would be off course 15km... Almost as much as the Chinese test missed by. "Russian patent number 2579409 relates to the field of rocket technology, and more specifically to hypersonic cruise missiles equipped with a hypersonic ramjet engine.

"Where is the Himars, patriot, leopard or challenger tanks that there were game changes?! They proved to be complete failures and the world has seen this and taken note." You have to be a Putin bot. HIMARs has pushed Russian troops back to the point Putin had to lie and say they were all destroyed to boost moral.

The decision — issued Wednesday — ends the prosecution of John DeRossett, 60, on the attempted premeditated first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer while discharging a firearm. DeRossett spent nearly five years at the Brevard County Jail Complex in Sharpes as he awaited a trial. He was allowed to leave on bond in March. The appellate decision is better than a jury acquittal. An acquittal only means ‘not guilty.’ This order means that John is innocent, that his actions were justified, and that he never should have been arrested in the first place. It’s a total vindication," said DeRossett’s Orlando-based attorney, Michael Panella."

  414.  @mikefarinas4885  With all the emojis I assume you are young and/or are trolling. Hypersonic missiles wont be used on ships do to their lack of maneuverability, Russia patent below stating they can't maneuver, need to shut their engines off, can lose stability and even self destruct coming back down to it's target. But first lets do some math. Zircons top speed is mach 9 right? Converting to km/s that is about 3km/s. Say you wanted to move a single degree for 5 seconds at 3km/s you would be off course 15km... Almost as much as the Chinese test missed by. "Russian patent number 2579409 relates to the field of rocket technology, and more specifically to hypersonic cruise missiles equipped with a hypersonic ramjet engine. The invention describes a method of application and device hypersonic cruise missile, allowing to solve the problem of performing a combat mission to destroy ground and surface targets of such a missile. The described invention is designed to maximize the combat potential of the combat module with the scramjet. The design mode for the scramjet are high-altitude cruise conditions while maintaining the estimated cruise speed, and the need to reduce the altitude and flight speed creates difficult technical problems due to the fact that: an engine designed to perform a hypersonic mid-flight at high altitude is not able to continue to work at low-altitude trajectory sections associated with a decrease in the flight number M, hence, the rocket must approach the ground or surface target with an inactive engine; characteristics of sustainability and controllability of the combat module with inactive scramjet significantly deteriorate, loss of stability becomes possible; there is also a danger of destruction of the scramjet design due to the increase in pressure in the flow part of the engine while reducing the Combat module from the march height before hitting the target." EDIT: The SM6 can take out hypersonic missiles among others.

  419. Ground based midcourse defense which is the fastest hypersonic missile in the world capable of mach 33 built by the US or the SM3 which is a midcourse phase ICBM interceptor. This video has a lot wrong though. Hypersonic missiles are covered in plasma, any IRST let alone AESA radar can track it. Shooting it down is where it is harder. Tracking it is easier then a subsonic sea skimming, under the radar horizon missile. They literally stated hypersonic missiles fly below the radar horizon like a god damn sub sonic cruise missile which is hilarious. The radar horizon has to do with Earths curvature and not space, where these missiles fly... LOL. Hypersonic missiles are also not maneuverable in their terminal phase. They literally have to shut their engines off, can lose stability because they have no engine power, and even self destruct from the thicker air density all according to the Russians own patent. They literally got someone who had no idea what they are talking about to make stuff up. That's amazing to me. Say they could maneuver, using the mach 10 speed stated here that's 3.4km/s rounding down for ease say you wanted to move a single degree for 5 seconds at 3km/s you would be off course 15km. Math is math, patents are patents. Bad video. "Russian patent number 2579409 relates to the field of rocket technology, and more specifically to hypersonic cruise missiles equipped with a hypersonic ramjet engine.

  420. Hypersonic weapons have been made since the 70's the US had the Aim54 which flew on the F14s. Despite what this video says,it's honestly like 80 percent wrong, hypersonic missiles can not maneuver do to their speed, Russias own patent admitting so, they can even self destruct. Making them only good for first strike weapons. "Russian patent number 2579409 relates to the field of rocket technology, and more specifically to hypersonic cruise missiles equipped with a hypersonic ramjet engine.

  421. What isn't good against it lol. It's just a renamed s300, like how Russia renamed the T72 to T90 since it did so bad. It's been beaten many times. "The S-400 Triumf NATO reporting name: SA-21 Growler, previously known as the S-300 PMU-3" Some sources of it failing: I can't link the first one youtube keeps deleting my comment with a link, so look up on youtube "Tomahawk Missile Remains, at Syrian Air Base - Close Up and Personal" to see Tomahawks beat the s300/400 and Russias own news talk about it. "Modern methods of warfare are different from those of the 90s. Unmanned aircraft is an important factor in our combat capability, especially in such fortified areas…. Both Turkish Israeli drones helped us a lot. We have destroyed at least 6 S-300 air defense systems using them,” Aliyev said during an interview with the General Director of the Interfax-Azerbaijan agency Anar Azizov." "Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) commander Brigadier General Farzad Ismaili, who had been in office since 2010, has been fired by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after he kept secret that Israeli Air Force (IAF) F-35 stealth fighters had violated Iran’s airspace, the Kuwaiti daily Al Jarida reported on Saturday." "Russia’s advanced air defense systems, the S-300s and S-400s, were ineffectual in detecting Israeli F-35 stealth fighters flying over Syrian capital Damascus, Israeli media reported. Israeli media published the flight route of its planes, reportedly F-35 Adir jets, that showed the jets entering Syrian airspace and crossing over its capital city, evading hundreds of kilometres of area shielded by Russian-made air defense systems."

  422. ​ @Andrew-is7rs  The US classifies the French as a blue water navy... From before the QE class entered service...: "There’s no doubt that the United States Navy counts as a “blue water” force. The French Navy also enjoys the distinction, although the Royal Navy may not; its lack of aircraft carriers in the wake of the retirement of the last of the Invincible class has resulted in a gap until HMS Queen Elizabeth enters service." Im not sure you know anything about naval terminology, hence you resorting to insults. Nuclear carriers need less restocking do to them not needing fuel allowing them to carry more food and aircraft fuel and literally can refuel the CSG... They can go on longer mission times, for example the QE class vs the Nimitiz as I don't read French, so sources are a bit harder to find. " Both HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales will keep 45 days' worth of food in its stores." "The ships normally carries enough food and supplies to operate for 90 days. Four distilling units enable NIMITZ-class engineers to make over 400,000 gallons of fresh water from seawater a day, for use by the propulsion plants, catapults and crew. The ship carries approximately 3 million gallons of fuel for her aircraft and escorts, and enough weapons and stores for extended operations without replenishment." "USS Carl Vinson sets milestone, delivers over 1M gallons of fuel since January. The aircraft carrier has conducted 15 separate fuel at sea evolutions this year." "They do not have the capability that the UK has, the bases, the experience, the signals. " The French and English navies are both some of the oldest navies in the world... What are you talking about? "CDG, when in dock, leaves France without any at sea airwing." Using that logic you can say the same with the QE class since one is down do to damage, while multiple type 45s are down not allowing for full CSGs. Nuclear carriers are at dock less as they need less maintenance do to not having conventional engines. but do have longer down times when needing to be refueled. Nothing is perfect, each has their pros and cons. "Add that with lack of os bases and a smaller FA you are left with a regional power, not a global one." They have overseas bases.... As stated in Africa, Antarctica, Germany, the middle east, and south pacific... "Sorry to burst your bubble" "Just a fact i’m afraid" You come off as a troll, or someone very young. Instead of having a discussion you resort to insults and trying to talk down on people.

  424. @UCgZs1XK0FInWp15P64pRTqg The aster 30 is not meant for BMs, but as a last resort. "The Type 45 does not have a formal theatre ballistic missile defence (TBMD) capability but its potential for such a role is being assessed" "At the Defence Select Committee, it was highlighted that the Type 45’s lack of versatility had left Britain without a maritime ballistic missile defence capability - something the U.S. and Japan in particular were investing heavily in for their own AEGIS ships. Dr Sidharth Kaushal, a research Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, noted to this effect: “The Navy, however, will need to look at two key questions: first, the absence of a capability to counter anti-ship ballistic missiles on the Type 45 destroyer. That was discussed in the 2015 strategic defence and security review, as part of a wider ballistic missile defence capability for the vessel, but it was absent in this review, which I thought was noteworthy.” Rear Admiral Alex Burton, who also attended the meeting, concurred stating: “I would just reinforce Dr Sidharth’s view on the anti-ballistic missile defence, which I think was a wrong absence within the review… one of the gaping holes within the defence review is an anti-ballistic missile defence mechanism, both at sea and ashore.” When further questioned, the admiral reiterated: “There is a gaping hole in our ability to defend a carrier against a ballistic missile without the support of our allies, so there is mitigation there, but it is mitigation that is reliant on our allies… The Navy has been clear that there has been a national capability gap, for the last 10 years, at least, in an anti-ballistic missile defence capability. That can be mitigated by working alongside our allies, just like the Americans use our capabilities to mitigate their capability gaps. Firstly, this is known, and, secondly, it can be mitigated.”

"and is made of plain steel lacking the composites that modern helicopters field making it vulnerable to enemy gunfire." It uses composite parts. "Cockrell is proud of the lab's achievements. Its repair procedures are the first approved repair for primary composite structure on Army aircraft." " It's an old design and thus an inefficient one," This is your opinion when most would say the opposite. "frankly there isn't much room in its interior" " the utility version of the BLACK HAWK helicopter transports 12 fully equipped, seated troops into the heat of battle." "Many UH60Ms still lack fly-by-wire" What? It's had it since 2008. "UH-60M Upgrade Black Hawk: UH-60M with fly-by-wire system and Common Avionics Architecture System (CAAS) cockpit suite. Flight testing began in August 2008." " lack MAWS, RWR, LWR, EOIR/FLIR gimble mount, and other luxuries present in other helicopters." What? "Northrop Grumman’s integrated missile warning system, Common Infrared Countermeasure (CIRCM), has been declared ready for full-rate production and operations by the Army, the company announced. " "The CIRCM system will be used on rotary-wing, tilt-rotor, and small fixed-wing aircraft like the UH-60 Black Hawk, CH-47 Chinook, and the AH-64 Apache, Gough said. “CIRCM protects these platforms so they can conduct air assaults, air movements, armed escort, reconnaissance, and security operations,” Gough said. “In addition, CIRCM allows rotary-wing aircraft to land and take off from just about anywhere which is essential to the role of medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) teams.” The CIRCM system works autonomously and can protect against man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS), Gough said. " "As seen in the photo at the top of this article, the HH-60M is equipped with the Degraded Visual Environment Pilotage System, or DVEPS, which is the uppermost, forward-facing sensor on the nose of the aircraft. A black gimbal below that houses a MEDEVAC Mission Sensor, which is a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensor turret." It's the best aircraft listed here for the job.

  447. Agreed. It's not the worlds first, by any stretch. The US removes the fuel, the assemblies, and any other component with radiation, then seals up the reactor core It's like saying the UK is the worlds first ship recycler using only 10mm wrenches and working on Tuesdays(obvious sarcasm), or changing one process, when you need to add technicalities you aren't first. The US also removes many parts of the reactor but uses the compartments to use a high pressure keep the nuclear molecules at bay. Worlds first would be discovering how to not have any contamination when recycling. "It’s a meticulous process. First, the defunct sub is towed to a secure de-fueling dock where its reactor compartment is drained of all liquids to expose its spent nuclear fuel assemblies. Each assembly is then removed and placed in spent nuclear fuel casks and put on secure trains for disposal at a long-term waste storage and reprocessing plant. In the US, this is the Naval Reactor Facility at the sprawling Idaho National Laboratory, and in Russia the Mayak plutonium production and reprocessing plant in Siberia is the final destination." "Although the reactor machinery – steam generators, pumps, valves and piping – now contains no enriched uranium, the metals in it are rendered radioactive by decades of neutron bombardment shredding their atoms. So after fuel removal, the sub is towed into dry dock where cutting tools and blowtorches are used to sever the reactor compartment, plus an emptied compartment either side of it, from the submarine's hull. Then thick steel seals are welded to either end. So the canisters are not merely receptacles: they are giant high-pressure steel segments of the nuclear submarine itself – all that remains of it, in fact, as all nonradioactive submarine sections are then recycled."

  474. ​ @a1marine105  It's a terminal stage interceptor, it's not meant to hit ICBM targets in the midcourse phase like the ground based midcourse defense is, as only it and the Sm-3 are capable of doing so. The radars range allows THAAD to track the missile from where it was launched in its boost phase, track the trajectory in it's midcourse phase, and shoot it down in it's terminal phase or pass it off to the GBI or SM-3. So from start to finish it knows what's happening and not just picking up the missile in it's late midcourse or terminal phase and tracking it. China/Russia hates this radar so much they sanctioned South Korea almost to extinction over it, to which SK said they would deploy no more THAADs. "the deployment of THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defence), which China insists can be used to spy on its own missile programmes." "First is China’s fear that THAAD could be used to intercept Chinese missiles and spy on its territory. Both the U.S. and South Korea have denied this by stating that THAAD will only be used against North Korea. " "Russia has also denounced the deployment of THAAD in South Korea. As with China, it fears an increasingly U.S.-dependent South Korea and a stronger U.S. presence in the region that could undermine its security interests. Following the initial deployment of THAAD in May, Chinese and Russian foreign ministers Wang Yi and Sergey Lavrov met and agreed on their opposition both to THAAD deployment in South Korea, as well North Korea’s nuclear program."

  524. ​ @jamiegray6931  "Abrams is great and has received lots of upgrades that keep it relevant enough for modern war, same with Bradley. But they will be replaced down the line by new kit." I agree everything you said here but also everything will be replaced down the line. But as of right now it would have been better for the UK to ditch the Ajax and use the Bradley or other option. They could have even used British optics, missiles, etc to have it to their standards. "Britain has the option of buying new kit that will be leaps ahead of what we have currently, or buy something at the same level as what we have currently." That's the issue, the Ajax isn't leaps ahead since it keeps having issues, and while cost overruns happen, the fact it is damaging crew members is something that can't be overlooked. "We should have bought CV90 as well as Ajax, simply as they do very different roles, IFV, compared to a CVR(T). But unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I'm not in charge." The CV90 is an IFV, hence why I mentioned it yet it is also aged designed in the 80s, it is good and even has the 40mm the UK wants. "The CV90 platform design has continuously evolved in steps from Mk0 to current MkIV with advances in technology and in response to changing battlefield requirements. The Swedish version of the main infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) is fitted with a turret from Bofors that is equipped with a 40 mm Bofors autocannon" "Another good comparison is the F-35B replacing the Harrier in the Carrier Strike role and the Tornado in the SEAD/DEAD role. We could have bought new build Harriers from America years ago for our carriers, but instead we opted for F-35B simply because the design is better and is future proofed, while Harrier is an old design pushed to its limit." It's not the design if pushed to it's limit, ie the F15ex for example, it's the airframes are old and tired and limited by flight hours. If my memory is correct it never even got an AESA radar upgrade which could have been done. If wanted, the US/UK could have created a newer version with newer frames with more modern systems like the US did with the F15ex. Newer radar, engines, etc. "Same with the HARM missile, we could have bought them and used them, but we've gone in for a new design concept for SEAD/DEAD with the new SPEAR 3." They didn't buy them since they don't have the EA-18s, which are dedicated EW aircraft. Could the UK have put them on Typhoons or F35s(while compromising stealth) sure, but the Spear 3 is also an anti-ship missile taking two roles up with one missile. This is where the UK and US standards differ, not about age of the missile this is also why the UK retired the ALARM missile. Why also not use the AGM-88? It's destroying Russian SAM radars right now. That's why age means very little. I mean the AB class destroyers are even getting lasers and look how long they have been around. I would like to say though, despite our differences of opinions, i'm glad to see someone who can have a conversation on here without freaking out and name calling, you don't see that often, thank you.

  547. ​@@phillipbanes5484 "The F35 is better in numerous ways as the F22 is better in numerous ways. " As I stated above with it's DAS allowing for better ground targeting and tracking ballistic missiles. "The F35 is the more agile. Agile means how quickly something can change directions. Smaller aircraft are almost always more agile. For example, the F16 is far more agile than the F22. People get agile and maneuverable mixed up. The F22 is more of the latter. " Agile and maneuverable are synonyms. Neither the F16 nor the F-35 are more maneuverable, hence why the F-22 was the US first supermaneuverable aircraft. While the F-35 is also supermaneuverable, it's worse then the F-22. The F-22 has a thrust to weight ratio of 1.25 while the F-35 has a 1.19 thrust to weight ratio. The F-16 has a thrust to weight ratio of about 1.1. The only fighter aircraft the US currently has that has a better thrust to weight ratio then the F-22 is the F15 but it lacks thrust vectoring, hence why it's not supermaneuverable. The F-35 also lacks thrust vectoring, other then the B model which only uses it for take off using it's lift fan. "The radar on both are actually probably very similar in performance. The F35 has the newest type AESA radar, so it may even be more sophisticated." The AN/APG-77 has a 400km range, it's much greater then the F-35 AN/APG-81 as the 81 is smaller and less powerful as it's in a small aircraft. Bigger radar+more power= more range. "The APG-77v1 was installed on F-22 Raptors from Lot 5 and on with new modules and significantly longer detection range to 400 km against target with 1 m2 RCS." " The F35 has much better range, since it carries slightly more fuel than the F22 in a much smaller and lighter aircraft." Both the F-22 and F-35 have about the same range. The F-22 is larger allowing it to carry more fuel. I don't know why you think a smaller aircraft could carry more fuel, especially since the F-22 produces more thrust allowing it to carry more weight. "With an operational ceiling of 50,000 feet and a range of almost 1,900 miles (with two external fuel tanks that would limit its stealth capabilities), the F-22 can fly at speeds above Mach 2." "Another critical factor of the F-35 is its remarkable range. The jet can travel up to 1,900 miles when refueled in the air, with a total fuel capacity of 18,250 lbs." " The F35 is also much easier to maintain its stealth, and no doubt in most every other way." This I can agree with you on, the F-35 uses baked in ram coating which last longer, but the down side is, you have to replace panels when you need to replace the coating, so while it lasts longer, the down time is also longer.

  571. I remember in 2018 in the Battle of Khasham that Putler tried to hide, 40 US soldiers took out 200-300 Russians... Audio is on youtube... Source below as well. Then to hear Russia say any missile strike on them they would consider nuclear since they were scared little school girls. "MOSCOW — Russia will perceive any ballistic missile launched at its territory as a nuclear attack that warrants a nuclear retaliation, the military warned in an article published Friday. The harsh warning in the official military newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda (Red Star) is directed at the United States, which has worked to develop long-range non-nuclear weapons." "According to the U.S. military's official statement, around 10 p.m. local time on the night of 7 February 2018, a force of 500 pro-government fighters consisting of local militiamen, government soldiers, Iranian-trained Afghan Shia fighters, and reportedly Russian contractors launched an assault on a Syrian Democratic Forces headquarters near the town of Khasham, located on the Euphrates River in Syria. Supported by T-72 and T-55 tanks, the pro-government troops first shelled the SDF base with artillery, mortars, and rockets in what U.S. military officials described as a "coordinated attack." Around 20–30 shells landed within 500 meters of the headquarters. According to the U.S. military, the presence of U.S. special operations personnel in the targeted base elicited a response by U.S.-led coalition aircraft, including AC-130 gunships, F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets, unmanned aerial vehicles (MQ-9), AH-64 Apache attack helicopters, B-52s, and F-22s"

  588.  @samuel10125  Every single of our allies other then New Zealand allows nuclear carriers. 99 percent of nations in the world allow nuclear carriers. Australia allows them. "tourism Minister, Mark McGowan today welcomed more than 5,000 senior officers and crew aboard USS NIMITZ (CVN-68) to Western Australia." Italy? They allow them... "For years a dozen Italian seaports have been decrying the risks they run as bases for nuclear powered or nuclear armed U.S. warships (submarines, aircraft carriers): Augusta, Brindisi, Cagliari, Castellammare di Stabia, Gaeta, La Maddalena, La Spezia, Livorno, Napoli, Taranto, Trieste, Venezia." Germany? The UK? France? "Nimitz conducted her second abnormally dangerous navigational detail of the deployment as she transited the English Channel (with its high volume of shipping) en route from Wilhelmshaven, West Germany, to Brest, France." Japan? "Ronald Reagan made five deployments to the Pacific and Middle East between 2006 and 2011 while based at Naval Air Station North Island. In October 2015, Ronald Reagan replaced USS George Washington as the flagship of Carrier Strike Group Five, the only forward-based carrier strike group home-ported at Yokosuka, Japan, as part of the United States Seventh Fleet" South Korea? "U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Michael D. White, the commander of Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 11 and Rear Adm. William McQuilkin, the commander of U.S. Naval Forces Korea, pose with local dignitaries aboard the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) in Busan, " India? "The carrier departed North Island for its thirteenth deployment on 2 April 2007 to the Arabian Sea, relieving USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in support of OIF. It anchored off Chennai, India on 2 July 2007 as part of efforts to expand bilateral defense cooperation between India and the United States." 25-29 May 1991: Nimitz anchored at Dubai 11-12 Mar 1993: Nimitz sailed through the Strait of Malacca 18 Jun 1993: Nimitz sailed outbound through the Strait of Hormuz into the Arabian Sea 13-14 Feb 1998: Nimitz anchored off Port Suez, Egypt, and passed through the Suez Canal 21-23 Apr 1985: Nimitz anchored in Augusta Bay, Sicily, to turn over to Dwight D. Eisenhower. 31 Dec 1988-6 Jan 1989: Nimitz anchored at Singapore , affording her crew their first port of call after 71 punishing days at sea.

  597.  @tsubadaikhan6332  You can bury them in the ocean.... This is why sinking nuclear submarines isn't an issue as the cooling effect of water keeping the reactor from reaching high temperatures and melting down. Since the ocean is so vast, the water will not heat up. Now that doesn't mean there will be no radiation, just minimal. For example USS Thresher, USS Scorpion, K-27, K-8, K-219, K-141, K-159 and so on, all nuclear submarines that have been sunk. Russia did this on purpose, and even tested low levels with multiple reactors. Source IAEA: "There is concern about radioactive contamination from nuclear waste the former Soviet Union dumped in the sea and the effect this will have on the marine environment. According to an official "White Paper" report compiled and released by the Russian government in March 1993, the Soviet Union dumped six nuclear submarine reactors and ten nuclear reactors into the Kara Sea between 1965–1988. Solid high- and low-level wastes unloaded from Northern Fleet nuclear submarines during reactor refuelings were dumped in the Kara Sea, mainly in the shallow fjords of Novaya Zemlya, where the depths of the dumping sites range from 12 to 135 meters, and in the Novaya Zemlya Trough at depths of up to 380 meters. Liquid low-level wastes were released in the open Barents and Kara Seas. A subsequent appraisal by the International Atomic Energy Agency showed that releases are low and localized from the 16 naval reactors (reported by the IAEA as having come from seven submarines and the icebreaker Lenin) which were dumped at five sites in the Kara Sea. Most of the dumped reactors had suffered an accident"

  598.  @GOGS-zg7rd  It's not the world first, the US among many nations have been doing this for years. It's like saying the UK is the worlds first ship recycler using only 10mm wrenches and working on Tuesdays(obvious sarcasm), or changing one process, when you need to add technicalities you aren't first. The US also removes many parts of the reactor but uses the compartments to use a high pressure keep the nuclear molecules at bay. Worlds first would be discovering how to not have any contamination when recycling. "It’s a meticulous process. First, the defunct sub is towed to a secure de-fueling dock where its reactor compartment is drained of all liquids to expose its spent nuclear fuel assemblies. Each assembly is then removed and placed in spent nuclear fuel casks and put on secure trains for disposal at a long-term waste storage and reprocessing plant. In the US, this is the Naval Reactor Facility at the sprawling Idaho National Laboratory, and in Russia the Mayak plutonium production and reprocessing plant in Siberia is the final destination." "Although the reactor machinery – steam generators, pumps, valves and piping – now contains no enriched uranium, the metals in it are rendered radioactive by decades of neutron bombardment shredding their atoms. So after fuel removal, the sub is towed into dry dock where cutting tools and blowtorches are used to sever the reactor compartment, plus an emptied compartment either side of it, from the submarine's hull. Then thick steel seals are welded to either end. So the canisters are not merely receptacles: they are giant high-pressure steel segments of the nuclear submarine itself – all that remains of it, in fact, as all nonradioactive submarine sections are then recycled."

  600.  Ro Herms  "1) They are getting some weapons free, SOME. " They are getting everything for free... Ukraine has no way of paying back billions of dollars. Hell the US is trying to give them 40 billion free... "You have it backwards. The Tomahawk was designed for and by the navy, and then adopted by the USAF. The army, not wanting to loose out on funding came up with the BGM-109G Ground launcher to base missiles on their installations and capture funding. As to BGM-109G's, show me where they are sitting in storage... Cause they are not. They were all destroyed in 1992. " And now you are just making things up. The BGM-109 came out in 1983, like all other original tomahawk variants and was literally one of the main variants up until the INF. "3) So again, the only Tomahawks in the inventory are naval, and require a mk41 launcher. While the navy has tested a ground based mk41, it has not been fielded, and it would require the full suite of controls, not something the DOD will want to just hand over to Ukraine, let alone Tomahawks of block III or later, which is what we have in inventory..." Proven wrong above already. "So again, No, Ukraine is not going to get Tomahawks. As to Harpoons, they have REQUESTED them, but have not been authorized them, or been sent them. Only the UK was considering giving some of their Harpoon supply to Ukraine, but the US has not approved the transferer. Again, even if they did, you still need the accompanying equipment for target accusation and the training required for the system. Ukraine has the ability to produce more Neptune's, if they can get secure manufacture facilities. " You sound like a Russian bot at this point and im already to the point of blocking and muting you. UK has already sent them Harpoons. Please stop posting on my comment, you have no idea what you are talking about, thank you. "According to information accessed by Republic TV, Britain's shipment of new weapons support is aimed to bog down the Russian Black Sea fleet blockading Ukraine's coasts. The announcement of the Harpoon missile systems to Ukraine comes after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson met with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy in embattled Kyiv on Saturday (April 9). "Today I met my friend President @ZelenskyyUa in Kyiv as a show of our unwavering support for the people of Ukraine. We're setting out a new package of financial & military aid which is a testament of our commitment to his country's struggle against Russia’s barbaric campaign."

  601.  @jimbob100-d3l  And the troll is now claiming to be someone "who does the job." LOL. I at least seriously hope you are trolling and aren't this dumb. Please do not post again or I will just block you. You have no idea what you are talking about. Straight from the US military website: " On Dec.11, 2020, Capt. Aaron “Brutus” Tindall, 390th Electronic Combat Squadron EA-18G Growler weapons officer, became the first Airman to graduate from the Navy Airborne Electronic Attack weapons school, making him a subject matter expert in Airborne Electronic Attack and the EA-18G. According to Lt. Col. David Davidson, 390th Electronic Combat Squadron commander, Tindall’s success will have a positive impact on the U.S. Air Force. “The Air Force and Navy are dependent on each other in a modern fight,” Tindall said. “Through the 390th ECS, the Air Force gains great insight into how parts of naval aviation execute on a day-to-day basis. Our goal is to take that knowledge and expertise back to the Air Force to jointly execute with more lethality today, and plan more efficiently for tomorrow.” The EA-18G weapons school ‘HAVOC’ is the Navy’s version of an Air Force weapons school for a specific platform. It is the highest level of training for pilots and electronic warfare officers in the EA-18G. Until now, only naval aircrew had attended the course." And the fact you can't read English and just glanced over this in the original source shows you are either trolling or have an IQ of 2. Heck it could be both since you love to like your own comments. "Due to this fact, in 1995, the Office of the Secretary of Defense arranged an agreement with the Navy embedding USAF electronic warfare airmen in Navy EA-6B and now EA-18G squadrons. Currently, The 390th provides logistical expertise and personnel to operate the EA-18G Growler in support of the Joint Airborne Electronic Attack Program."

If a 3000km range is useless, compared to the S400s 600km range im going to laugh you into my block list for trolling. Of course the chinese where protesting THAAD is right in their back door. South Koreans want THAAD LOL " Greater than 2,900 km. In 2008, Major General Patrick O’Reilly (then the Deputy Director of the MDA) stated that the TPY-2 had a range “greater than 1,800 miles” (1,800 miles = 2,900 km). 3,000 km. This range is shown in a figure published in the South Korean newspaper, based on a calculation by George Lewis and Theodore Postol." If you respond to me again with stupid troll shit and not names of missiles, radars, ranges, etc you will be blocked, i dont deal with trolls. I literally have posted facts with names of missiles, radars,launchers, etc, please troll elsewhere. Thanks. EDIT: I also laugh how you think its a good idea to shoot down a plane over civilians, acting like it wont hurt anyone after being shot down.... Also you do know the S500 is Russias THAAD equivalent... THAAD is a ICBM and surface to air interceptor... The S400 is only a surface to air interceptor. S500 will be both like THAAD. "Russias C-500 Прометей, Prometheus), also known as 55R6M "Triumfator-M",is a Russian surface-to-air missile/anti-ballistic missile system intended to replace the A-135 missile system currently in use, and supplement the S-400. The S-500 is under development by the Almaz-Antey Air Defense Concern, and planned to be deployed by 2020. With its characteristics it will be very similar to the US Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system."

  675.  @rbkkpooi3244  Once again i will requote myself. " Missiles moving at hypersonic speeds aren't maneuverable. This is why ballistic missiles have such large CEPs. Even Russias own patent for hypersonic missiles admits they can't maneuver. Ballistic/hypersonic missiles literally detach from their engines and in the terminal phase are unpowered. Lets do some math then I'll show you my sources. Lets using the Zircon missile for example as it's a slower moving ballistic missile. It's top speed is mach 9 converting to KM/S that's about 3km/s. Now say you wanted to move a single degree for 5 seconds at 3km/s you would be off target 15km and keep in mind if somehow the ballistic/hypersonic missile still has it's engine in the terminal phase and could power itself, it would move more then a single degree sending it way off course as it's moving to fast, this is why every nation still uses sub-sonic missile, they can maneuver. "A ballistic missile follows a ballistic trajectory to deliver one or more warheads on a predetermined target. These weapons are guided only during relatively brief periods—most of the flight is unpowered" "Russian patent number 2579409 relates to the field of rocket technology, and more specifically to hypersonic cruise missiles equipped with a hypersonic ramjet engine. The invention describes a method of application and device hypersonic cruise missile (CRPD), allowing to solve the problem of performing a combat mission to destroy ground and surface targets of such a missile. The described invention is designed to maximize the combat potential of the CMP with the scramjet. The design mode for the scramjet are high-altitude cruise conditions while maintaining the estimated cruise speed, and the need to reduce the altitude and flight speed creates difficult technical problems due to the fact that: an engine designed to perform a hypersonic mid-flight at high altitude is not able to continue to work at low-altitude trajectory sections associated with a decrease in the flight number M, hence, the rocket must approach the ground or surface target with an inactive engine; characteristics of sustainability and controllability of CRPD with inactive scramjet significantly deteriorate, loss of stability becomes possible; there is also a danger of destruction of the scramjet design due to the increase in pressure in the flow part of the engine while reducing the CMP from the march height before hitting the target."

Equipped with offensive and defensive electronic warfare options for the pilot and aircraft, the suite provides fully integrated radar warning, targeting support, and self-protection, to detect and defeat surface and airborne threats. The system provides the pilot with maximum situational awareness, helping to identify, monitor, analyze, and respond to potential threats. Advanced avionics and sensors provide a real-time, 360-degree view of the battlespace, helping to maximize detection ranges and provide the pilot with options to evade, engage, counter or jam threats." ASEA is also a dedicated jammer....it can send viruses...almost like a computer virus... "Advanced electronic warfare capabilities enable the F-35 to locate and track enemy forces, jam radio frequencies and disrupt attacks with unparalleled precision. All three variants of the F-35 carry active, electronically scanned array (AESA) radars with sophisticated electronic attack capabilities, including false targets, network attack, advanced jamming and algorithm-packed data streams. This system allows the F-35 to reach well-defended targets and suppress enemy radars that threaten the F-35. In addition, the ASQ-239 system provides fully integrated radar warning, targeting support, and self-protection, to detect and defeat surface and airborne threats."

  718. Sucks the kid wasnt armed he could have legally killed the terrorist. “Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer's life if necessary.” Plummer v. State, 136 Ind. 306. This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad Elk v. U.S., 177 U.S. 529. The Court stated: “Where the officer is killed in the course of the disorder which naturally accompanies an attempted arrest that is resisted, the law looks with very different eyes upon the transaction, when the officer had the right to make the arrest, from what it does if the officer had no right. What may be murder in the first case might be nothing more than manslaughter in the other, or the facts might show that no offense had been committed.” “An arrest made with a defective warrant, or one issued without affidavit, or one that fails to allege a crime is within jurisdiction, and one who is being arrested, may resist arrest and break away. lf the arresting officer is killed by one who is so resisting, the killing will be no more than an involuntary manslaughter.” Housh v. People, 75 111. 491; reaffirmed and quoted in State v. Leach, 7 Conn. 452; State v. Gleason, 32 Kan. 245; Ballard v. State, 43 Ohio 349; State v Rousseau, 241 P. 2d 447; State v. Spaulding, 34 Minn. 3621. “When a person, being without fault, is in a place where he has a right to be, is violently assaulted, he may, without retreating, repel by force, and if, in the reasonable exercise of his right of self defense, his assailant is killed, he is justified.” Runyan v. State, 57 Ind. 80; Miller v. State, 74 Ind. 1. “These principles apply as well to an officer attempting to make an arrest, who abuses his authority and transcends the bounds thereof by the use of unnecessary force and violence, as they do to a private individual who unlawfully uses such force and violence.” Jones v. State, 26 Tex. App. I; Beaverts v. State, 4 Tex. App. 1 75; Skidmore v. State, 43 Tex. 93, 903. “An illegal arrest is an assault and battery. The person so attempted to be restrained of his liberty has the same right to use force in defending himself as he would in repelling any other assault and battery.” (State v. Robinson, 145 ME. 77, 72 ATL. 260). “Each person has the right to resist an unlawful arrest. In such a case, the person attempting the arrest stands in the position of a wrongdoer and may be resisted by the use of force, as in self- defense.” (State v. Mobley, 240 N.C. 476, 83 S.E. 2d 100). “One may come to the aid of another being unlawfully arrested, just as he may where one is being assaulted, molested, raped or kidnapped. Thus it is not an offense to liberate one from the unlawful custody of an officer, even though he may have submitted to such custody, without resistance.” (Adams v. State, 121 Ga. 16, 48 S.E. 910). “Story affirmed the right of self-defense by persons held illegally. In his own writings, he had admitted that ‘a situation could arise in which the checks-and-balances principle ceased to work and the various branches of government concurred in a gross usurpation.’ There would be no usual remedy by changing the law or passing an amendment to the Constitution, should the oppressed party be a minority. Story concluded, ‘If there be any remedy at all ... it is a remedy never provided for by human institutions.’ That was the ‘ultimate right of all human beings in extreme cases to resist oppression, and to apply force against ruinous injustice.’” (From Mutiny on the Amistad by Howard Jones, Oxford University Press, 1987, an account of the reading of the decision in the case by Justice Joseph Story of the Supreme Court. As for grounds for arrest: “The carrying of arms in a quiet, peaceable, and orderly manner, concealed on or about the person, is not a breach of the peace. Nor does such an act of itself, lead to a breach of the peace.” (Wharton’s Criminal and Civil Procedure, 12th Ed., Vol.2: Judy v. Lashley, 5 W. Va. 628, 41 S.E. 197).

"CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A Nueces County jury that acquitted a man who shot Corpus Christi police officers executing a raid on his home said a “botched” operation and contradicting testimony led to their decision." Henry Magee killed one as well. "DALLAS — A Central Texas man who shot and killed a sheriff's deputy entering his home will not be charged with capital murder, attorneys said Thursday. A local grand jury declined Wednesday to indict Henry Goedrich Magee for the Dec. 19 death of Burleson County Sgt. Adam Sowders, who was part of a group of investigators executing a search warrant for Magee's rural home." Unnamed man shoots two cops. "Two Maryland police officers were shot while serving a drug-related search warrant at the wrong apartment late Wednesday, according to law enforcement officials. The resident shot the officers as soon as they opened the door, thinking they were home invaders, authorities said. No criminal charges will be filed against the man, Prince George's County Police Chief Hank Stawinski said Thursday."

  923. ​ @LockeOG  All the T72/90 variants are bad. The T90m while still based on the T72 could actually be considered a different tank. One of the best T72 variants the rare Lion of Babylon versions Iraq made with ERA at the time. Went up against M1s, even stuck ones, and stood no chance as Tom Clancy wrote in his non-fiction book as well as the GAO report for the army/marines. "Well, in his 1994 non-fiction book, Armored Cav, Tom Clancy recounted a tale of how an M1A1 Abrams got stuck in the mud during the ground war of Desert Storm. It was then set upon by three tanks, Iraqi T-72s specifically. A round fired from roughly a thousand yards away bounced off, and the Abrams responded by blowing the T-72 that fired it to bits. A second round fired from 700 yards, bounced off, and the offending T-72 was blasted. The third T-72, at a range of roughly 400 yards, fired a round, which left a groove in the armor of the Abrams. It, too, was destroyed by a shot fired through a sand berm. These were, supposedly, Russia’s state-of-the-art tanks. Then, when help arrived, and the tank couldn’t be freed from the mud, a platoon of Abrams tanks tried to destroy it. After several rounds, they detonated the onboard ammo, but the blow-out panels functioned as designed. Then, when the tank was retrieved from the mud, they discovered that it was still functional. The only issue? A sight was out of alignment." "Abrams also survived well on the battlefield. For example, according to officials from the Center for Army Lessons Learned, several MlAl crews reported receiving direct frontal hits from Iraqi T-72s with minimal damage. In fact, the enemy destroyed no Abrams tanks during the Persian Gulf war, according to the Army. Crews said Abrams tanks were fast and maneuvered well in the sand. "

  941. ​ @jamiegray6931  Sorry I missed the second comment. The reason the US went for the F15ex is for a missile truck, as it will work along side the F-35 as the F-35 tells where targets are using it's DAS the F15 will then attack as you stated here "So they have the F-15EX which is an F-15E with better avionics and and software so it can communicate with 5th Gen platforms with only a slightly larger weapons load." "Problem is the basic design of the F-15 is 40 years old and is now in an era where Typhoon and Rafale exist, which are probably better A2A aircraft due to their more modern designs, whilst also carrying a similar payload for A2G missions." Red flag tells a different story and is the reason no F-15 has ever been shot down in A2A combat in real scenarios. "F-15EX is still a fantastic aircraft, but its success will be held back by its basic design. The US could have bought Typhoon or Rafale in the role the F-15EX will play, but they won't because its not American made and doesn't benefit their economy. Which is why the UK buys stuff the UK is involved in building, like F-35 and Ajax because they're benefiting our economy." The F15ex is faster then both aircraft listed above, has a better range, and better avionics is the reason they didn't buy the listed aircraft as they are also around the same price and as you stated US made. Could the US have used them, yes but it would have required training on those aircraft unlike the pilots who already know how to fly the F-15s. My main issue with the Ajax is it is literally hurting crew members just driving it around.

  982. ​ @bigenglishmonkey  "yeah no" I literally proved above the UK shared Chobham armor and the US uses it on the Abrams... " dorchester Armour" Is the same thing as Chobham, just with ERA. Abrams used ERA and spaced armor. "Chobham usually refers specifically to the Non-Explosive Reactive Armour & ceramic composites, while Dorchester is usually in reference to additional armour packages, primarily composed of Explosive Reactive Armour and spaced armour, although, these are often conflated when in colloquial usage." "The M1 was armed with the license-built M68A1 version of the 105 mm Royal Ordnance L7 gun. The tank featured the first of its kind Chobham armor. The M1 Abrams was the first to use this advanced armor. It consisted of an arrangement of metal plates, ceramic blocks and open space." "yet any advancements the US makes it doesn't share in return." Like nuclear submarines? Like the F-35 and it's stealth technology? and so on. It's called the US–UK Mutual Defence Agreement which started in 1958. They both share. "Under the treaty, the US supplied the UK with not only nuclear submarine propulsion technology but also a complete S5W pressurised water reactor of the kind used to power the US Skipjack-class submarines. That was used in the Royal Navy's first nuclear-powered submarine, HMS Dreadnought, which was launched in 1960 and commissioned in 1963. " "its a British scientist that cracked the formula for the atom bomb" What.... Robert Oppenheimer is American... Born in New York... "Oppenheimer was the wartime head of the Los Alamos Laboratory and is often credited as the "father of the atomic bomb" for his role in the Manhattan Project—the World War II undertaking that developed the first nuclear weapons."

  993. "The Bayraktar Akıncı drone is under development and will be able to operate from carriers without cats & traps." Which is a VTOL drone like I stated... "Sadly they can't since they have no way to launch them unless the UK creates vertical lift drones" "Analysts at BlueMelange, an independent research group in Ankara, pointed out that Turkey cannot procure any of these fighters. “There is no fixed-wing fighter jet option for the Anadolu after the rejection of the F-35B by the U.S. and non-availability of second-hand procurement of non-feasible, non-affordable, and diminished old Harrier fighters from the West,” the analysts said. Given the Anadolu’s design, Turkey would likely require STOVL or VTOL (vertical take-off and landing)-capable drones." "The Valkyrie drone will be launchable with just a simple wheeled catapult." And the QE class has no catapult... Like the Valkyrie needs... "The “runway-independent” — that is, catapult-launched — Valkyrie “behaved as expected and completed 76 minutes of flight time” on its first sortie, AFRL stated. “The time to first flight took a little over 2.5 years from contract award. The XQ-58A has a total of five planned test flights in two phases with objectives that include evaluating system functionality, aerodynamic performance and launch and recovery systems.”" "Bell is developing a hybrid tiltrotor/jet drone that will come in three different sizes." This is another VTOL aircraft as stated above. "Lastly the UK government is considering fitting cats & traps to the QE and PoW purely to launch drones. The specifications of these cats and traps though would actually allow the carriers to operate Rafale Ms." No they aren't. They gave up when building the QE class.

  1022.  @rogerdepretto440  Im guessing you are young with your use of emokis. Hypersonic missiles wont be used on ships do to their lack of maneuverability, Russia patent below stating they can't maneuver, need to shut their engines off, can lose stability and even self destruct coming back down to it's target. But first lets do some math. Zircons top speed is mach 9 right? Converting to km/s that is about 3km/s. Say you wanted to move a single degree for 5 seconds at 3km/s you would be off course 15km... Almost as much as the Chinese test missed by. "Russian patent number 2579409 relates to the field of rocket technology, and more specifically to hypersonic cruise missiles equipped with a hypersonic ramjet engine. The invention describes a method of application and device hypersonic cruise missile, allowing to solve the problem of performing a combat mission to destroy ground and surface targets of such a missile. The described invention is designed to maximize the combat potential of the combat module with the scramjet. The design mode for the scramjet are high-altitude cruise conditions while maintaining the estimated cruise speed, and the need to reduce the altitude and flight speed creates difficult technical problems due to the fact that: an engine designed to perform a hypersonic mid-flight at high altitude is not able to continue to work at low-altitude trajectory sections associated with a decrease in the flight number M, hence, the rocket must approach the ground or surface target with an inactive engine; characteristics of sustainability and controllability of the combat module with inactive scramjet significantly deteriorate, loss of stability becomes possible; there is also a danger of destruction of the scramjet design due to the increase in pressure in the flow part of the engine while reducing the Combat module from the march height before hitting the target."

Off the top of my head only New Zealand doesn't allow them, the majority of the world allows them. Otherwise why not also make conventional submarines? Nuclear is better. "having to have supply ships for the rest of the carrier group anyway so fuel isn't a huge additional concern, " Nuclear carriers are the resupply ship in the CSG, so during war time, you need less ships to defend resupply ships if the carrier is doing it. "USS Carl Vinson sets milestone, delivers over 1M gallons of fuel since January The aircraft carrier has conducted 15 separate fuel at sea evolutions this year." "astronomically more expensive for little gain." It's not much more expensive for much more gain. All the fuel for a conventional carriers adds up while also needing to build more resupply ships and fuel those as well cuts the cost very close to each other as nuclear carriers need to be refuel once every 20-25 years. With nuclear propulsion you can have CATOBAR or EMALS, power future laser weapons, you have more fuel for your airwing, have a larger airwing, have better sortie rates, can refuel the CSG, can go on longer mission times(double) as you can hold more fuel, food and water and so on. " Both HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales will keep 45 days' worth of food in its stores." "The ships normally carries enough food and supplies to operate for 90 days. Four distilling units enable NIMITZ-class engineers to make over 400,000 gallons of fresh water from seawater a day, for use by the propulsion plants, catapults and crew. The ship carries approximately 3 million gallons of fuel for her aircraft and escorts, and enough weapons and stores for extended operations without replenishment."

  1072. Can only hope. This is exactly how we found out how the US beat Russia in 2018 in the battle of Khasham killing 200-300 Russians. So few know about this battle as Putler tried to hide it until the wives/mothers spoke out since they never got their husbands/sons bodies back. F22's were even used, this is why after Putler said any missile attack on Russia would be considered nuclear since Putler was scared. Source, I can try to post the videos of the wives speaking out and the audio of the battle from the Russian side claiming their losses: "According to the U.S. military's official statement, around 10 p.m. local time on the night of 7 February 2018, a force of 500 pro-government fighters consisting of local militiamen, government soldiers, Iranian-trained Afghan Shia fighters, and reportedly Russian contractors launched an assault on a Syrian Democratic Forces headquarters near the town of Khasham, located on the Euphrates River in Syria. Supported by T-72 and T-55 tanks, the pro-government troops first shelled the SDF base with artillery, mortars, and rockets in what U.S. military officials described as a "coordinated attack." Around 20–30 shells landed within 500 meters of the headquarters. According to the U.S. military, the presence of U.S. special operations personnel in the targeted base elicited a response by coalition aircraft, including AC-130 gunships, F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets, unmanned aerial vehicles (MQ-9), AH-64 Apache attack helicopters, B-52s, and F-22s"

  1073.  @Andrew-is7rs  "Nicely copied and pasted from Boot camp and military fitness chief." Facts hurt feelings I see. As proven they have a blue water navy. Heck I don't think there are many if any sources stating otherwise. "RN, have fewer global bases, has less tonnage, nowhere near the experience, logistics, intelligence or signals. Have one, old, medium carrier that is often in port leaving them without any at sea air force and are regional. Most if their bases are located in Africa." You really love to repeat yourself even with others state facts then ignore all the faults with the QE, type 45, etc. "The UK have allies and bases across the globe" I guess the French don't have allies or bases either. "CDG leaks radiation again its back in dock and end of exercise." It's amazing how you act like the QE hasn't almost flooded and sunk, or has had a faults of its own and one is now in dry dock and will be for some time do to the damaged occurred. Nor acting like the Type 45s weren't all hung up for repairs. You just seem to hate the French. But otherwise I do seem to now think you are a troll who just doesn't like the French and this conversation will go nowhere. So this will be my last reply as you will just keep trolling and trying to insult me even though you literally have no idea what you are talking about and if I post facts/sources I will just get another trollish response of "Nicely copied and pasted" like posting facts and sources is bad. Enjoy the last word, we know you troll love it.

  1076. ​ @1IbramGaunt  "the US Navy themselves have admitted that in terms of anti-air and anti-missile capabilities the Type 45 is in fact by far and away the superior ship, look up the Aster missile and Samson radar platforms sometime" The Sampson radar has a 400km range, the AN/Spy-1, the basic version from the 70's without any modern upgrades has a 310km range. Let alone bringing up the modern AN/Spy-6. The AB class can literally shoot down ICBMs in their midcourse phase, the hardest phase to shoot a missile down in. The type 45 can't even dream of doing this. Their are only two midcourse phase ICBM interceptors in the world, the SM3 and GBMD. Since it can track midcourse phase ICBMs in space, it's radar has a range of over 2000km. The aster is literally a modified anti-air missile used to shoot down terminal phase ICBMs in a pinch, the type 45 has no BM defense otherwise and is working on it. The AB is also much cheaper, the UK did a study, showing they could have gotten 12 ABs instead of 6 type 45s. So if the type 45 being worse at air defense is better to you, getting less ships is better, you live in a backwards world. Sources: "The Type 45 does not have a formal theatre ballistic missile defence (TBMD) capability but its potential for such a role is being assessed" "The SAMPSON multi function radar can detect all types of targets out to a distance of 400 km, and is capable of tracking hundreds of targets at any one time." "The SPY-1 can maintain continuous radar surveillance while automatically tracking more than 100 targets at one time. Public numerical figures on the SPY-1 detection range claim that it can detect a golf ball-sized target at ranges in excess of 165 km. When applied to a ballistic missile-sized target, the SPY-1 radar is estimated to have a range of 310 km." "Aegis BMD continues to demonstrate a capability to intercept non-separating, simple separating, and complex-separating ballistic missiles in the midcourse phase of flight with SM-3 missiles." "SM-3 Midcourse Interceptor The SM-3 is designed to intercept ballistic missiles above the atmosphere (i.e., exo-atmospheric intercept), in the midcourse phase of an enemy ballistic missile’s flight. It is equipped with a “hit to-kill” warhead, called a kinetic vehicle, that is designed to destroy a ballistic missile’s warhead by colliding with it. The current versions of the SM-3 missile include the SM-3 Block IA, the SM-3 Block IB, and the SM-3 Block IIA" "Aegis BMD will be able to engage increasingly longer range, more sophisticated ballistic missiles with the deployment of the next Aegis BMD Weapon System upgrade and the SM-3 Block IB. In addition, Aegis BMD continues to improve its ability to fire or engage a threat using remotely supplied track information. As an example, in Flight Test Mission 15 (FTM-15), an AN/TPY-2 (Forward-Based Mode) radar located at Wake Island will detect the intermediate range ballistic missile target and transmit tracking data to an Aegis BMD ship over 2,000 km away. Based on TPY-2 radar data a firing solution will be calculated and an SM-3 missile will be launched. As the target continues its trajectory, the ship's SPY-1 radar will acquire the target and provide guidance commands to the missile to intercept the target. Such engagement coordination expands battlespace and depth of fire." "The cost of the Destroyers is also indicative of another structural problem, the fact that the defence budget is also used as part of an industrial strategy. The destroyers like most of the UK’s equipment, are produced domestically and expensively in order to support the UK arms industry. Had the UK bought the equivalent American destroyers, the Arleigh Burke class, it could have done so at half the price getting twice the capability, 12, at the same cost."

  1077. ​ @1IbramGaunt  "so's the Daring-class in it's own separate way" How so other then range? It has a great range, but otherwise, the AB class is a better ship. "I'm pretty sure making our own ships is generally considered a cheaper option than buying someone else's lol" Type 45 cost 1,050,000,000 pounds/1443435078 USD with the new upgrade which cost 500 million pounds/668 million USD bring it over 2 billion USD. The AB class cost 1.85 billion USD, making it cheaper, also as it's produced in larger lots, the price goes way down, but to keep it fair, one vs one on production, the AB class is still cheaper. As of right now if you buy them in lots, they are under 1 billion USD each. "In 2018, Ingalls was awarded a $5.1 billion fixed-price incentive, multiyear contract for construction of six Arleigh Burke-class Flight III destroyers for the U.S. Navy." You could have 12 AB class destroyers for the cost of 6 type 45s. Your own nation admitted it. "The cost of the Destroyers is also indicative of another structural problem, the fact that the defence budget is also used as part of an industrial strategy. The destroyers like most of the UK’s equipment, are produced domestically and expensively in order to support the UK arms industry. Had the UK bought the equivalent American destroyers, the Arleigh Burke class, it could have done so at half the price getting twice the capability, 12, at the same cost." ", and the AB is simply not sufficiently superior to warrant the extra expense" The AB class literally is better at everything other then range, while being cheaper. "extra expense, or the re-training or re-tooling or re-supplying for it." It's welding, riveting, and steel working... You already do it. It's not like the AB class uses DU armor or something crazy like tanks use and they swapped the technology over. It's just steel working. You have ship yards large enough.

  1095. ​ @mxtt30  "can your M1 hit a target in full motion at vmax in rough terrain? Don’t think so." Pretty sure it can. "A Greek trial found that moving Leopard 2s and Abrams hit a 2.3-meter target nineteen and twenty times out of twenty, respectively, while a Soviet T-80 scored only eleven hits." "Also the M1 uses the 120mm Rheinmetall-Glattrohr Kanone so no bonus points for you." They literally use the same gun just different versions... The l44 and l55... Each has their pros and cons. The L55 should get you longer range shots, but do to being longer has a worse turn radius for shorter turns in congested areas do to the barrel length. "Although the Abrams is more battle tested, the Leo triumphs in speed, fire rate, more advanced electronics and optics and marching range." The Leopard 2 is 1mph/1.6kph faster... That's like me trying to brag the M1A1 was 2mph/3.2kph faster, it's negligible when tanks hardly ever reach their max speed. Faster rate of fire? First off do you even know what the rate of fire is for the Leopard 2 since it's not on any credible source online... It uses an autoloader meaning it would take longer to reload the auto-loader when its out... Same with the Abrams as it's crew manually loads them and would be crew dependent. Which the only sources I can find for it claim 8-9 rounds per minute... So this is moot on either side since neither of us can post a credible source on it. "more advanced electronics" That's would be the Abrams as we have seen in battle. "marching range" The Abrams has better range as even though it uses more fuel, it also carries more fuel. The Abrams carries 504.4 US gallons/1,909L while the Leopard 2 carries 1,200L/317 gallons. The leopard 2 max range is 340km/210mi while the Abrams is 265 mi/426km, which comes straight from Bundeswehr. The Abrams is more quite, has better range, better armor, better optics, and doesn't have an autoloader. Heck I think we all have seen the video of the Leopard exploding like a nuclear bomb when kurds took one out(not to say Abrams can't be destroyed either) If you haven't seen the video look up "Direct ATGM hit: Kurdish female fighters destroy invading Turkish Leopard 2 tank in Afrin region" autoloaders are not a good thing to have. Both are great tanks, but the Abrams is the best in the world right now.

  1122.  @daming-houzhao  "To learn about China's land-based conventional ballistic missiles, whose range covers almost all of Asia," You aren't going to use ballistic missiles against ships... Their CEP is to large for a moving target at their speed unless the slow down to supersonic or subsonic speeds. Cruise missiles is the main weapon against ships. " What is the combat radius of his fighter?" There something called in flight refueling... Like I also stated they aren't going to be going into China, but launching long range missiles like the AGM-158D with a 1200 mile/1900km range forcing Chinese fighters to intercept them. Like Russia is doing to Ukraine. "Not to mention that China's latest shipborne version of YJ-21 has a range of 1500 kilometers and can be installed in 052D and 055!" Hypersonic missiles wont be used against ships do to their lack of maneuverability, Russian patent below stating they can't maneuver, need to shut their engines off, can lose stability and even self destruct coming back down to it's target. But first lets do some math. Zircons top speed is mach 9 right? Converting to km/s that is about 3km/s. Say you wanted to move a single degree for 5 seconds at 3km/s you would be off course 15km... Almost as much as the Chinese test missed by on a stationary target... "Russian patent number 2579409 relates to the field of rocket technology, and more specifically to hypersonic cruise missiles equipped with a hypersonic ramjet engine. The invention describes a method of application and device hypersonic cruise missile, allowing to solve the problem of performing a combat mission to destroy ground and surface targets of such a missile. The described invention is designed to maximize the combat potential of the combat module with the scramjet. The design mode for the scramjet are high-altitude cruise conditions while maintaining the estimated cruise speed, and the need to reduce the altitude and flight speed creates difficult technical problems due to the fact that: an engine designed to perform a hypersonic mid-flight at high altitude is not able to continue to work at low-altitude trajectory sections associated with a decrease in the flight number M, hence, the rocket must approach the ground or surface target with an inactive engine; characteristics of sustainability and controllability of the combat module with inactive scramjet significantly deteriorate, loss of stability becomes possible; there is also a danger of destruction of the scramjet design due to the increase in pressure in the flow part of the engine while reducing the Combat module from the march height before hitting the target."

  1134. ​ @TheDrummingWarrior  The US had the AIM54 in the 70's flying on the F14s. This isn't new tech. Hypersonic missiles can not maneuver and are only good for first strikes/nuclear strikes. Russian patent below as source stating they have to shut their engines off, can lose stability, and even self destruct coming back down to hit it's target. Also all hypersonic missiles are ballistic. Even "cruise" missiles as ram/scramjet engines do not function at low altitude and need thinner atmosphere and a rocket booster as they produce 0 thrust on their own. Without it the Zircon for example only can go a few hundred miles since it's running on it's booster alone if taking a low trajectory, but when it goes ballistic, it then has Russias stated range. This is also why it's average flight times wasn't even reaching hypersonic speeds. Sources: "The missile was launched from the frigate “ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET OF THE SOVIET UNION GORSHKOV in the White Sea and the warhead mock-up successfully hit the target in the Barents Sea at a distance of 450 kilometres. Images released by the Russian MoD show a missile launch from the upper deck at the ship’s bow, with the missile performing a somersault like manoeuvre in the air before heading to the target. The missile was moving at an average speed of 1.6 kilometres per second, or 5.7 thousand KM per hour (at the peak, the speed exceeded 9.5 thousand KM, or M=8). The maximum flight altitude was 28KM to make the flight time just 4.5 minutes." "The missile's range is estimated to be 135 to 270 nautical miles (155 to 311 mi; 250 to 500 km) at low level, and up to 400 nmi (460 mi; 740 km) in a semi-ballistic trajectory" Hypersonic glide weapons also are ballistic. They have an entry phase, a controlled climb, a ballistic skip/jump, then finally reentry as all those stages it goes ballistic. "Boost-glide trajectories are a class of spacecraft guidance and reentry trajectories that extend the range of suborbital spaceplanes and reentry vehicles by employing aerodynamic lift in the high upper atmosphere. In most examples, boost-glide roughly doubles the range over the purely ballistic trajectory. In others, a series of skips allows range to be further extended, and leads to the alternate terms skip-glide and skip reentry."

  1172.  @adamatch9624  It's not the world first, the US among many nations have been doing this for years. It's like saying the UK is the worlds first ship recycler using only 10mm wrenches and working on Tuesdays(obvious sarcasm), or changing one process, when you need to add technicalities you aren't first. The US also removes many parts of the reactor but uses the compartments to use a high pressure keep the nuclear molecules at bay. Worlds first would be discovering how to not have any contamination when recycling. "It’s a meticulous process. First, the defunct sub is towed to a secure de-fueling dock where its reactor compartment is drained of all liquids to expose its spent nuclear fuel assemblies. Each assembly is then removed and placed in spent nuclear fuel casks and put on secure trains for disposal at a long-term waste storage and reprocessing plant. In the US, this is the Naval Reactor Facility at the sprawling Idaho National Laboratory, and in Russia the Mayak plutonium production and reprocessing plant in Siberia is the final destination." "Although the reactor machinery – steam generators, pumps, valves and piping – now contains no enriched uranium, the metals in it are rendered radioactive by decades of neutron bombardment shredding their atoms. So after fuel removal, the sub is towed into dry dock where cutting tools and blowtorches are used to sever the reactor compartment, plus an emptied compartment either side of it, from the submarine's hull. Then thick steel seals are welded to either end. So the canisters are not merely receptacles: they are giant high-pressure steel segments of the nuclear submarine itself – all that remains of it, in fact, as all nonradioactive submarine sections are then recycled."

  1292. 100 percent legal to kill a cop. “Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer's life if necessary.” Plummer v. State, 136 Ind. 306. This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad Elk v. U.S., 177 U.S. 529. The Court stated: “Where the officer is killed in the course of the disorder which naturally accompanies an attempted arrest that is resisted, the law looks with very different eyes upon the transaction, when the officer had the right to make the arrest, from what it does if the officer had no right. What may be murder in the first case might be nothing more than manslaughter in the other, or the facts might show that no offense had been committed.” “An arrest made with a defective warrant, or one issued without affidavit, or one that fails to allege a crime is within jurisdiction, and one who is being arrested, may resist arrest and break away. lf the arresting officer is killed by one who is so resisting, the killing will be no more than an involuntary manslaughter.” Housh v. People, 75 111. 491; reaffirmed and quoted in State v. Leach, 7 Conn. 452; State v. Gleason, 32 Kan. 245; Ballard v. State, 43 Ohio 349; State v Rousseau, 241 P. 2d 447; State v. Spaulding, 34 Minn. 3621. “When a person, being without fault, is in a place where he has a right to be, is violently assaulted, he may, without retreating, repel by force, and if, in the reasonable exercise of his right of self defense, his assailant is killed, he is justified.” Runyan v. State, 57 Ind. 80; Miller v. State, 74 Ind. 1. “These principles apply as well to an officer attempting to make an arrest, who abuses his authority and transcends the bounds thereof by the use of unnecessary force and violence, as they do to a private individual who unlawfully uses such force and violence.” Jones v. State, 26 Tex. App. I; Beaverts v. State, 4 Tex. App. 1 75; Skidmore v. State, 43 Tex. 93, 903. “An illegal arrest is an assault and battery. The person so attempted to be restrained of his liberty has the same right to use force in defending himself as he would in repelling any other assault and battery.” (State v. Robinson, 145 ME. 77, 72 ATL. 260). “Each person has the right to resist an unlawful arrest. In such a case, the person attempting the arrest stands in the position of a wrongdoer and may be resisted by the use of force, as in self- defense.” (State v. Mobley, 240 N.C. 476, 83 S.E. 2d 100). “One may come to the aid of another being unlawfully arrested, just as he may where one is being assaulted, molested, raped or kidnapped. Thus it is not an offense to liberate one from the unlawful custody of an officer, even though he may have submitted to such custody, without resistance.” (Adams v. State, 121 Ga. 16, 48 S.E. 910). “Story affirmed the right of self-defense by persons held illegally. In his own writings, he had admitted that ‘a situation could arise in which the checks-and-balances principle ceased to work and the various branches of government concurred in a gross usurpation.’ There would be no usual remedy by changing the law or passing an amendment to the Constitution, should the oppressed party be a minority. Story concluded, ‘If there be any remedy at all ... it is a remedy never provided for by human institutions.’ That was the ‘ultimate right of all human beings in extreme cases to resist oppression, and to apply force against ruinous injustice.’” (From Mutiny on the Amistad by Howard Jones, Oxford University Press, 1987, an account of the reading of the decision in the case by Justice Joseph Story of the Supreme Court. As for grounds for arrest: “The carrying of arms in a quiet, peaceable, and orderly manner, concealed on or about the person, is not a breach of the peace. Nor does such an act of itself, lead to a breach of the peace.” (Wharton’s Criminal and Civil Procedure, 12th Ed., Vol.2: Judy v. Lashley, 5 W. Va. 628, 41 S.E. 197)."

DeRossett spent nearly five years at the Brevard County Jail Complex in Sharpes as he awaited a trial. He was allowed to leave on bond in March. The appellate decision is better than a jury acquittal. An acquittal only means ‘not guilty.’ This order means that John is innocent, that his actions were justified, and that he never should have been arrested in the first place.
