ATACM for long range strike into Russian territory?
Don't Zircons have far longer range than ATACM? Russia is coming out versions of Zircon to be fired from mobile land platform.
Yes, 10 years shelf-life sounds about right; I believe U.S. had stopped using corrosive explosives a long ago if she had ever had. Corrosive explosives have indefinite shelf-life, or at least 100 years, provided they are stored in proper, humidity controlled, and non-high heat climate, and more reliable ignition in cold weather.
Non-corrosives have at least,10 years shelf-life, provided it's stored properly, but less reliable ignition in cold weather.
Italians had already come up with the battle plan to counter the deep battle in North Africa: Defense in Depth into a corridor, a false weak point. They used it successfully, especially against the R.A. They only quit when they had run out of ammo, and they accomplished it when the R.A. had the virtual air supremacy no less.
Joint Missile program based on synergy? Sounds like F-35, with A, B, and C. It didn't work, either; 'B' should not have even been born; F you, James Mathis.
Yes, low maintenance is a very important factor in gaining, and maintaining air superiority, especially in a total war, unlike initial SEAD. Why F-35 is a failure, especially 'B'.
As for pilot bottleneck problem, in Kalkin Gol, IJA AF fought very well against the Red AF, very high kill ratio, especially initially, but the Soviet simply had more planes, even if inferior, with inferior pilots overall. They simply did, 'Ground and Pound', wearing IJA AF down, especially due to pilot fatigue, forcing the IJA AF to withdraw, with the air cover as well.
This could/should be addressed with the introduction of A.I. Pilot robots in the future.
Trump was right to withdraw the treaty whether Putin decided to violate the treaty or not.
INS by itself, without the satellite correction, is for short range only. Why defending the Space and dominating it should be the highest priority: U.S. needs to re-introduce X-15 in more advanced form: Forget NGAD for now.
Can ATACM attack the enemy SPGs successfully if they employ, 'Shoot and scoot'? For far shorter than 5 minutes, the enemy SPGs can scoot far more than 25 meters.
I think the ability to navigate and home in on the moving target is far more important than just mere maximum speed, when even at max speed, ATACM is very unlikely to take the SPGs employing, 'Shoot and Scoot'.
