  1. The fact that Ukrainian forces are attacking on such a wide scale shows that Ukraine is still very much in this fight

  2. Considering the havoc that HIMARS has wrecked on the logistic, it no surprise that Russian forces are low or have expended their ammo stores

  3.  @Beliserius1  Red flag is about training at your best and at your worst. The exercise puts aircraft in both favorable to extremely situations to help pilots better hone their skills with coordination,planning, and execution. Recognize what situations they need to fight and those they need to run from. There is no point in training if the conditions are always going to be favorable DACT (Dissimilar air combat training) plays a huge role in red flag as pilots learn the capabilities of other planes. Kill ratios are good but the point of training is coordination, DACT, planning, and execution

  4. At the least ,it proves Ukraine is very much still in this fight

  5. The missile use what's called inertial navigation system (INS) INS uses a combination of various factor to get the missile to target GPS refines the targeting data so the missile is much more accurate Thanks to advances in technology, INS is far far more accurate Again also thanks to GPS-jammers, the US developed newer sensors to counter jamming Example Circular error probable (CEP) , basically how weapons accuracy is measured with out GPS is 200-300 meters GPS can reduces CEP to about 10 meters or less In case GPS is jammed, the newer sensors developed can achieve a CEP of 30-50 meters Lastly, to use HIMARS missiles against a moving target, it would have to be a very high value target or asset Its called predicted none line of sight Basically , a forward observer provides the target course and speed They take the target speed and combine with the missile speed which depends on how far the missile has to travel and come up with point of impact Based on target speed of 40 mph , it will reach this point in 1 min 12 second They designed that point and fire The M30/31 have 200lbs warhead so it does not have to be direct hit They don't use this method unless its absolutely necessary

  6. The simple answer is that Ukraine is exactly the type of warfare that the Avenger was designed for What they should do is replace the 50 cal with cannon able to use airburst rounds That would make it very effective against drones

  7. The best marriage of the railgun is to nuclear reactor. non-nuclear ships have to deal with considerable strain as the current railguns have high power requirements.Although Zumwalt destroyers produce78 megawatts , a max power shot at 25 megawatts drains 32 percent of the ships power. Railguns best application is anti ballistic defense as the Navy is going for 10 rounds per minute. Unless some comes up a new and compact power source, railguns wont on tanks

  8. You are forgetting that JDAM has an optional laser guidance as well as home on jam seekers But most importantly, the JDAM can be carry a wide variety of aircraft whereas the Su-34 is the only launch platform

  9. its decent missile but it needs longer range and bigger warhead The LRASM is far more expensive but its 1000lbs warhead is lethal to all targets including carriers The RBS-15 is good for cruisers ,destroyers and other smaller targets but not bigger ones

  10. Its basically cheap and simple spray and pray system Why Ukrainian forces love that HIMARS because its precise and does with 1 missiles what the BM-21 needs several to do

  11. Other than the crap for stealth, lack of gun and piss poor engine
