Do not trust your history education on Hollywood.

Actually originated from Henry Kaiser in 1942 as US shipping losses in Atlantic started to mount. It was military project from the star, motivation was fear that U-boats in Atlantic would become even bigger threat to US shipping. So they concluded that worlds biggest aircraft would be a solution. Since Kaiser operated in construction and shipbuilding, they got Hughes involved.

To say something about Kaiser, he is the guy behind mass construction of Liberty and Victory ships. Those are maritime commission designs, but he is the guy streamlined their construction even further. He was proponent of US intervention to WWII even before the war started. He was basically son German immigrants that started a small construction company in California in his mid 20's and couple decades later operated one of biggest companies in business couple decades later. Before WWII he started to build shipyards for himself with his own financing. Once US got involved in war he was pretty well positioned for massive government contracts.

Fear of U-boat situation turning even worse was never realized so funding to H-4 was cut later on. Not to mention that the biggest aircraft in the world isn't exactly cake walk in terms of engineering. After the war Hughes was blamed for war profiteering for two military aircraft contracts that never ended in serial production, H-4 and XF-11 recon plane. Hughes aircraft was tiny aircraft manufacturer, main businesses of Hughes were tooling, TWA and real estate. When war started Hughes Aircraft had four employees, it was basically basically single hangar business that made high tech racing aircraft. Company mostly built designs of other manufactures during war and grew to 80000 employees. H-4 became Howard's obsession because he needed to redeem his reputation.

Domestic launch sites were covered with silos, we did a better-than-everyone-else job at keeping our foreign fixed launch sites a secret, and between airdropped nuclear weapons and SLBM's we had our mobile platforms covered.

Basically, we wouldn't be fighting a nuclear war where the enemy had conventional means over the continental US plus any "global" USSR vs NATO conflict that went hot we could either deal with from the safety of CONUS or we were permafucked within the first 20 minutes and having mobile launchers overseas didn't matter. So there wasn't any need.

Why haven't calibers larger than .50 taken off for infantry use?
As lightly armoured vehicles become more armoured, and more resistant to mines, IED's and HEAT warheads, why does there not exist a modern equivalent of an anti-tank rifle for disabling vehicles like MRAPs, armoured transports and disabling equipment?
Tanks will never be at a WWII level of armour again, but lightly armoured vehicles (which have become extremely numerous in the inventory of every motorized military since WWII) are quite often inferior in kinetic protection to most early WWII tanks. It would make logical sense to me that a cheaper solution should exist to deal with the lightly armoured threats that comprise a majority of land vehicles in pretty much every military.

Are missiles really that cheap that they can be employed en-masse or is the support from combined arms enough to keep lightly-armoured threats at bay from infantry? Does .50 do enough for anti-material roles?

>>31858675
Now THAT is stealth.

>>31858680

>>31859312
Because by the time you get a vehicle armored enough to resist even small IED's not even 20x139mm AP rounds penetrate it and you're into full-turret-mount autocannon territory. Which we have.

>>31859312
>lightly armored vehicle
>resistant to IED's and HEAT warheads
Pick one.
>why does there not exist a modern equivalent of an anti-tank rifle for disabling vehicles like MRAPs
Because the small handful of calibers large enough to reliably penetrate even small MRAPs are way too big and high-recoiling to be used in a shoulder-fired weapon. The current-gen Cougars and Buffalos are proofed against 20x139mm autocannon fire from all sides and 30mm autocannon fire from the front, the Maxxpro (the smallest MRAP) is proofed for 20x139 from the front and underside and 14.5mm HMG AP fire from the sides. And those still have less armor than something like a Stryker, which also enjoys the ability to mount reactive and slat armor.
>are missiles really that cheap that they can be employed en-masse
Yes
>or is the support from combined arms enough
also yes
>does .50 do enough for anti-materiel roles?
Considering it will reliably penetrate the sides and back of a BMP-3 from less than 500m with ball ammo (or 1200m with SLAP) and can turn any model of BTR or BRDM (or the BMP-1) into swiss cheese from any range the gunner can hit it at with ball ammo, and those are really the only truly armored vehicles that aren't MBT's any first-world military is likely to face for the next 70+ years, I'd say so.

Hughes aircraft as defense contractor known for it's own designs is a Cold War thing and due to massive competition in everything else they decided to focus on emerging new field in military and civil aviation, helicopters. Basically only serially produced Hughes Aircraft designs are three helicopter models. Helicopter business was sold to McDonnell-Douglas that later on merged with Boeing.

Hughes model 269, renamed later on 300, military designation TH-55. Tiny two seat utility helicopter used by military as basic trainer. Now manufactured by Schweizer Aircraft.

Hughes model 369, later renamed model 500 for marketing reasons. Military designation OH-6 Cayuse with fuckload of derivatives for civilian, military and black project use. Now manufactured by MD Helicopters for civilian markets and Boeing for defense market.

AH-64 Apache.

Pic very related. A thing that really rustles jimmies of tin foil hat crowd. Hughes 500P aka the Quiet One. It still is possibly the most quiet helicopter ever built. Couple of those were built during Vietnam War for CIA to wiretap communications lines in North Vietnam.

The Soviets had the licence and manufactured it themselfes, under the name Li-2, with some basic modifications. Different engines, cost saving methods, etc. By the way, after they ran out of bombs, they started to drop railway track pieces on the germans at night. I know because we had theese here in Hungary as well. As far as i know, they bought 2 original DC-3s from the US and bought the licence to manufacture it. Only a small number of them had any self defense weaponry (pic related is one of the few, with a DP-28 on top). But yup, until the IL-2 came around, these were the most useful bombers the USSR had (along with the PO-2, lel)

>But yup, until the IL-2 came around, these were the most useful bombers the USSR had (along with the PO-2, lel)

What the fuck? PO-2 and Li-2 was used mostly for night time annoyance bombing. Il-2 was attack aircraft, completely different role to both actual bombers and ad-hoc bombers you mentioned.

Soviets had plenty of actual bombers in their inventory.

Soviets had around 6000 slightly obsolete Tupolev SB's that were destroyed by thousands on ground in first days and weeks of war, most of remaining being lost at bit slower base in first 6 months of the war, due to insanely incompetent tactics being utilized. Un-escorted daylight raids by small formations or even single planes in worst case. Incompetence being main reason for insane losses, even when plane was bad design by all means.

Then there were 1500 Ilyushin DB-3's, that was reasonably up to date medium bomber when Germans invaded. It's improved variant Il-4 entered production in 1942 once production facilities were relocated and about 5000 of those were produced.

Next stop is Pe-2. It was one of the best light bombers the war with A-26 Invader, Mosquito and Ju-87. It had entered service just prior to war, but during war around 11500 were produced.

Followed by Tu-2 medium bomber. Production started in September 41 and it entered operational service in 1942 around same time as bomber version of Li-2 started after relocation of plant to Tashkent. Around 2200 were produced in total with production ending in 1948. The only reason why Il-4's were produced in much higher numbers is the fact that much better Tu-2 shared engine with plenty of higher priority aircraft like La-5/7/9 fighters and Pe-2, there simply wasn't enough engines around, so worse plane remained in production.

Then we can talk about Lend Lease B-25 Mitchell's and A-20 Havocs.

Also according to one of those military or history channel documentaries I must have watched a decade or so ago, tacit blue was just a proof of concept aircraft to see if radar absorption and deflection could be achieved in the opposite manner as have blue and later the F117, with smooth edges rather than rounded ones, so you're not far off.
Tom Clancy's book Red Storm Rising has the F-19 Ghostrider or "frisbee" which is described as not having any angles, so there's that at least. I've always wondered how the techno thriller novelist community could have known that the US had programs for stealth aircraft underway at the time, does anyone know?

The F-117 was flying as early as '83, though it wasn't revealed to the public until '88, two years after Red Storm Rising came out. It was apparently something of an open secret in the aviation tech sector that stealth was a thing being worked on, though.

Cost, hippies and end of cold war.

LGM-118 Peacekeeper was supposed to be based on mixture of re-used Titan II silos and railways. Original plan for railway was build up few bunkers for each launcher and move missiles between those or any point in US railroad network, so Soviets would have to spend a few times more warheads to get rid of a single missile. It was expensive and hippies got pissed off because it would have involved tearing down forests and shit for railroads and tunnels that lead to nowhere.

There was also MGM-134 Midgetman small ICBM that would have been vehicle based, but it got axed due to end of cold war.

I've wondered this, looking at footage from Iraq and Syria an infantry weapon capable of engaging lightly armored and un-armored vehicles more effectively then single shot 50cal rifles but less bulky and limited in range then rpgs seems like something worthwhile. Especially for the sporadic/skirmish type fighting so common there, something that can punch a few decent holes in your enemy's support vehicles and then let you cruise off back to your own lines. so far it looks like Iran has made a unique 20mm anti helicopter rifle, it'll be interesting to see if it can perform well against light armor as well.

It actually flew but was far too impractical to be of any use.

>>31864701

No, at least not exactly. BGM-109 and every other ground based cruise missile got canned due to Intermediate Forces Treaty along with all MRBM's and IRBM's. Part of end of cold war. BGM-109's were converted to conventional warhead Tomahawks.

Peacekeeper deployment was limited to 50 missiles due to program delays, total production run was around 120 missiles. I'm too lazy to check how many was used in testing, but there was another 50 made for railway garrison that were never deployed. During entire development the railway basing system they reduced bunkers per missile due to cost cuts. Refurbished Peacekeeper missiles are now being used as part of Minotaur IV and V orbital launch systems.

Midgetman was cancelled due to end of cold war. After couple test launches, it was supposed to replace Minuteman and was really close to becoming deployable, it was supposed to same mk 21 re-entry vehicle as Peacekeeper.

It's kinda ironic that US is still using Minuteman III after Peacekeeper was retired due to upcoming START II that would have banned MIRV's in ground based missiles. It never went into effect, given that it was already being discussed in 90's, Midgetman would have been perfect missile for that treaty.

>>31864701

This one was killed by a treaty forbidding the use of nuclear capable land cruise missiles and another over IRBM with the range exceeding 500Km killed the Pershing II.

Quoting from Wikipedia's article on the B-1B:
>During the 1980 presidential campaign, Ronald Reagan campaigned heavily on the platform that Carter was weak on defense, citing the cancellation of the B-1 program as an example, a theme he continued using into the 1980s. During this time Carter's defense secretary, Harold Brown, announced the stealth bomber project, apparently implying that this was the reason for the B-1 cancellation.

MMEV, a LAV-III with a modular turret meant to act in a support role. Program was cancelled because it made too much sense. It was made to use multiple weapon systems at the same time, or be loaded out to a specific mission.

>>31866207

>>31866360
TOW-2 missiles are cheaper than Hellfire's, plus still in use with M113-TUA vehicles. ADATS have been retired and are no longer being manufactured, better to have alternatives for tank busting no matter how redundant.

As an anti-armor guy I think thats actually a pretty ingenious solution to a military on a budget.
The USA can afford to toss jav's and TOW's around like candy, but to a place like iran they would probably need to reserve missiles for high value targets, and probably dont want to waste them on stuff like himvees and MRAPs.

You get a dozen or two of these supported by mortar and machinegun teams running around in hills and wadis it would REALLY make any mechanized movement through rough terrain difficult.

Could harass convoys and make atleast rotary air support a lot more risky, and its not too expensive either.

I mean its not incredible, still better to be able to spam ATGMs and MANPADS everywhere, but as a low budget solution its pretty smart.

End of the Cold War and the fact is mobile nuclear systems is a security nightmare. You will need dispersal sites.... which need to be secured and dispersal sites need to be within line of sight of satellites and certain radio antennas plus tropospheric scatter backup.

You will need to secure the convoys against all the threats so basically you will pretty much have to shut down the Interstates every time these fuckers hit the onramps. And you have to vet a lot more personnel b/c anything w/ the words nuclear is expensive not just in the delivery systems and the special weapons themselves but the crew, maintenance monkeys and security forces that have to watch the thing waiting for WW3.

It was generally believed by the public that some sort of stealth fighter was in development or low-rate production by the mid-80s.

However, just about everybody was completely fooled about the name and performance; the F-19 was believed to be more like Clancy's version, sleek and fast, and armed with at least Sidewinders.

The F-117 reveal turned all expectations on their head; whether or not there was any disinfo effort in the whole F-19 craze, it effectively shielded the real stealth "fighter" from discovery.

People really tend to forget about them for some reason. Probably because their apex was the Northern Expedition, which nobody outside China thinks about. It was quite difficult to wage a war in China in the 20s without armored trains--the standard approach to beating them was to rip up the track behind and in front of them, while ranged in with your own train.

Remember this was an era when tanks had an operational radius of something like 25 miles, trucks were hahahahaha, and horses were horses.

Neat little historical artifact. Had the war dragged on in to 1919 pretty much the entire US expeditionary force would have been armed with these little fuckers. They had 65,000 devices, 1.6 million magazines, 65 million cartridges and 101,775 modified Springfield rifles ready before the war ended in late 1918.

Remove the Springfield bolt, insert the device, lock in a magazine, and you're good to go. Freedom to switch from a .30-06 bolt action rifle to a semi-auto rifle chambered in something roughly equivalent to .30 carbine in fifteen seconds for even a moderately trained conscript. Played in to the whole "walking fire" thing the US had going at the time. Every man issued a device would have five 40 round magazines, more than enough to push the Germans out of their holes.

The mid to late war USSR was an industrial juggernaut. They had entire *armies* equipped with the PPSh. Honestly, sticking them inside an IL-2 is probably just an efficient way to secure storage space for something more valuable, like boots.

You haven't seen fucking shit, son. Back in the '70s the CH-47 was very seriously considered as a candidate for an aerial artillery system with a pair of 105mm howitzers.

Introduced in the 1960s, the 120 000 lbs heavy Bkan 1 was one of the heaviest SPGs during its era. Using a system of 7-round "clips", it was capable of firing 15(!) 104 lbs heavy 155mm shells in less than 45 seconds out to a realistic range of 17 miles.

Russia is threatening to use their ICBMs because of increased Nato activity in europe, i'd say the cold war is continuing.

looks badass with the stingers indeed.

>>31855938
There never was and never has been a need for it. The US would know if it was targeted by an ICBM early enough (and with good headspace) to initiate a counterattack from regular silos.

In combination with ICBM launched from sea vessels, a mobile land-based ICBM would just be superfluous.

Propellers are wired to fuzes. They spin upon contact with the open air and arm the bomb, be it an impact fuze, a proximity fuze, a timed fuze, or whatever. Retaining pins are used to hold the propellers in place until they've left the aircraft. Normally a loop of wire is used to free the propeller when the payload is released, allowing the bomb to arm once it enters free-fall.

>can lift an air craft carrier
wat

>>31891577
Yup. The whole thing. And the multiple other CH-53s on deck.

It's the ultimate answer to that "could God create a mountain so big even he couldn't move it" adage.

>>31891162
It was also designed to be nuclear compatible, If made real, it would be 15 nuclear warheads in 45 seconds

>>31891561

Modern boomer subs have basically rendered land based ICBM's useless. Why shoot a missile from Bumblefuck Flyover, USA that has to fly halfway across the planet when you can launch them from the Barents sea and be putting warheads on foreheads in 5 minutes.

Because a silo doesn't need a fucking nuclear reactor, you dork.

This fucker right here. Patria AMOS. Learned about it when I went to do my military service (Finfag).

>When fitted to a vehicle, both GPS- and inertia positioning are used. The electronic fire-control system utilises digital maps. The twin barrelled AMOS is able to keep up rate of fire of 12 rounds per minute. Using its computer-controlled MRSI feature (multiple rounds simultaneous impact) it is possible to set up a burst of up to 16 rounds that hit the target simultaneously. The first rounds are fired at higher angles with more propellant so that the rounds fly in a high arc. The next rounds are shot later with a slightly smaller angle and less propellant so that they fly a lower arc to the same target. This can be done seven times in a row, always adjusting the angle and power. The adjustment between shots is done by a computer. The strike of one AMOS unit roughly equals one strike of an artillery battery.

Saw the effects of it once in action, an absolute beast.
Finnish version is equiped with 8 mortar tubes so it is packing heat.

>>31891845
8 mortars on one vehicle?

>>31891865
Ah looks like I typoed hard when doing other things.
4 vehicles with AMOS (2 tubes each, total 8 tubes) can replace 9 regular heavy mortars from an artillery company. Units can aquire and fire at targets in 30 seconds and since they are vehicles they can begin relocating immediately after firing salvo, "shoot n' scoot" style.
