I'm still amazed by the tomahawk's range given the payload. Combine that with auto guiding, nap of the earth flying and it's still such an impressive weapon all these years later.

>>32782350
actually the US has done so with the SM2 which is very short range but much faster than any current russian SAM
that said yes the US can and should step up its game in missile technology

It's already well ahead of Russia and China.

This should be mandatory reading for every single one of these threads.
>>32782473
Naturally, but that applies for the Tomahawk to, difference is that it can increase the speed during final approach
>>32782468
Only the AshM has a subsonic sprint. Maybe a land attack version too.
Both have significantly reduced range.
Keep in mind the US has developed sea skimming mach 4 capable missiles.
It's a question of want, not ability.

they beat us on every technological stage. they've been dedicating their research to extended range, payload, and aeuronautics while we've been just spamming decades old missiles with upgrades.
>>32782649
Physics don't change. Super/hypersonic missiles have to make huge tradeoffs for their speed. It's not that the US is incapable of making them, just not particularly interested.
>>32782095

The problem is not having shitty missiles but the american political system,various projects have been abandoned by stupid politicians that do not know a thing or two about technology and its effects,the US is better than Russia in any category regarding military.
>>32782679
the difference between the missiles you referenced is that the brahmos actually exists as a deployed missile system while the x-51 has had so many test failures it has been scrapped
>>32782763

What the hell even exists to fire said missiles at? Why waste money on expensive high performance AShMs when we have strike fighters out the ass?
>>32783196
$800,000 per back when they were developed.
>>32783427
I say again, will you call yourself a bottom bitch dirty fuccboi if you are wrong?
>>32783484
super/hypersonic mrbms can knock out a carrier or hangar before it can launch it's strike fighters for instance. the first stage of a modern war would be the attack and counter attack of cruise missiles. therefore whoever can develop faster, larger, longer range missiles in quantity probably will be victorious
>>32783574

This image is literally some supposed hypersonic missile in development at the pentagon.

And you can't handle that fact without being a sperg retyping "wrong" and posting links to hypothetical future weapons.
>>32785878
Don't be silly, the main spaceshuttle Solid boosters used pressurized nitrogen.
>>32785913

Not only is that not the ahw, the AHW actually hit a target unlike Chinese junk.
>>32783346
Are you retarded? Or just completely ignoring the Minuteman System.
>>32785859
that doesn't sound realistic at all. Cold gas thrusters have absolutely absymal specific impulses. No one uses that to propel significant masses to higher speeds.
>>32785910
i doubt it. We switched from nasty stuff like N2O4, IRFNA (and hydrazine, UDMH) to solid propellants for a reason. Stuff like that is a bitch to handle. Even the russians don't want to use it anymore.
>>32785916
for what? Definetly not as fuel, the Space shuttle SRBs used APCP, ammonium perchlorate, aluminium powder and PBAN as binder.
>>32786004
Used it to keep the fuel system chooching.
It might actually be some kind of nitrous fuel. The glider needs a fuckton of speed fast.
>>32785479
800,000 USD in 1983's money is equivalent to 1.9 million USD today.
So in real terms it's gotten cheaper, using 1983 as a basis.
>>32786047
Cool
Wish it was cheaper still.
>>32786031
I'm really certain that no new military US missile system uses N2O4, IRFNA or any other nitrogen based substance as monopropellant or oxidizer. At least not as fuel to bring something heavy to speed. This stuff is just a bitch to deal with, solid fuels can be stored easier, safer and longer and are cheaper.
>>32786075

Screw that, that's way to exclusive. nitric acid and ammonia salts are obviously used in solid propellants. I mean all the liquid/gaseous nitrogen oxides and nitric acid.

someone fucked up. 3 pounds of pressurized nitrogen wouldn't get that thing 50ft in the air. The nitrogen is probably for cold gas attitude control thrusters.
>>32786232
That doesn't make any sense, US micro electronics was less advanced 30 years ago, that doesn't mean EW didn't exist.
So if the USSR had missiles with jammers and threat computers in the 1970s (P-500, Kh-22), it doesn't count as EW because...
>>32786261
That's exactly what I'm implying, actually. That the US is far ahead of Russia and has been for the longest time.
>>32786280
Spoken as someone who truly doesn't know what they're talking about.
Lovely Vatnik troll thread, see you on page 10
>>32786241
Wouldn't Kh-55 and RK-55 be a Tomahawk analogue from the early 1980s.
>>32786280
EW changed. Just jamming one narrow frequency band is something you can do with tube electronics. Trying to jam something that jumps through different frequencys and changes encryption patterns or whatever like a cat on speed is harder. Nowadays just knowing what frequency the systems you're trying to jam use isn't enough anymore, you need real time analysis of how the target system is communicating to direct your limited jamming capabilities to the place where it will hurt most.
>>32786284
Then you are wrong, since it is only now that Americans are attempting to implement features present on 70s Soviet ASCMs. And even then, real time satellite guidance is still space magic to you.
>>32786311
>Spoken as someone who truly doesn't know what they're talking about.
If you do, explain it,
>>32786314
I'm pretty sure "finally making" refers to Kalibr. But yeah, I already mentioned Kh-55 that appeared before Tomahawk.
>>32786317
That's why Americans shit their pants over the possibility of Russians jamming GPS signals?
>>32786317
>EW changed
So did Russian missiles. Oniks, Uran, Kh-555, ect.
Look at the original post jackasses.
It was comparing a Russian Tomohawk equivalent to the LRASM for some reason, as if it was some sort of game changer because it was stealth (like recent Russian equivalents) and EW (like the ancient Russian equivalents).
>>32786338
Kh-55 isn't really an analogue given it is air launch only.
>>32786323
>Real time satellite guidance
Sounds a lot like a datalink. Which the US has had on aircraft since the 50s and on missiles since the 70s.
>Only now that Americans are attempting to implement features present on 70s Soviet ASCMs
Like? The Naval Strike Missile and LRASM are both subsonic, sea-skimming, stealthy missiles with datalinks and internal guidance. They are not supersonic, they are not intended to take a nuclear warhead, and they are by no means unsophisticated technologically.
Do you just actually believe the US can't make a fast missile?
>>32786358
It is not, since it is Tomahawk that is an analogue. They tried to make Tomahawk air-launched. Didn't work.
>>32786356
i don't want to join the circlejerk, just throwing in some info of how modern microelectronics change EW.
>>32786366
Real time satellite guidance sounds like real time satellite guidance. Good luck catching up on that.

A Burke carries 96 SM-2s plus Sea Sparrows and CIWS.
A Tico carries 120 some SM-2s plus, again, Sea Sparrows and CIWS.

Nice air defence "escort". Russians don't even have to worry about it, since there is virtually nothing such a composition can do against its forces stomping on Americans in Ramstein. No, they do not carry "96 SM-2 and 120 some SM-2". They usually don't even carry full missile load. And too bad neither of these you mentioned can intercept a salvo of manoeuvring supersonic data-linked missiles anyway.

>>32788885
Having Burke's around you does mean surrounded. That and it would have to avoid the SSNs and ASW patrols. Also a Burke have between 90 and 96 VLS cells depending on the flight. That and the Russians only have one modern SSGN. I don't know which subs you are talking about, but most of Russia's subs have been outdated for at least ten years.
>>32782095
Because the US has extensively tested supersonic missiles using their own supersonic Target drones and have determined that they're shit.
They're so loud and hot and kick up so much steaming hot exhaust that any advantage you gain against the enemy's defences by minimising their reaction time is lost by virtue of being easier to see.
This is why the Us chose to develop a stealthy ASHM instead of a fast ASHM.
>>32789010
>>32789022
> No, they do not carry "96 SM-2 and 120 some SM-2". They usually don't even carry full missile load.
Yeah, you're wrong. While they may not dedicate all of their VLS cells to carrying SM-2s, they'll still be carrying a shit ton of them

I suspect that the same vatnik is behind these posts.
I have a feeling that half the time the only people who post this type of damage control aren't even american, but some asshurt eastern europeans who can't deal with Russia being better than them.
It's a well known fact that Russian missile tech is the best in the world, and as far as ASM goes (don't know why OP is comparing tomahawks to ASM, prolly for ez-bait) they're at least 2 decades ahead of America.
>>32789104

>In general it was a great display of american incompetence and how utterly useless CIWS is.
>Captain Brindel suspected a possible Exocet attack but did not convey this clearly to the crew. He calmly requested a systems check including whether the Phalanx Close-In-Weapon-System (CIWS) system was "live". The crew reported no issue, he questioned again, however the crew repeated themselves believing he had simply not heard their first reply. Additionally due to miscommunication, the Captain believed the CIWS was "live" which to his mind meant; set to auto-targeting mode, but the crew were just reporting it was reading as operational (The CIWS was likely set to a passive mode waiting on the EMS.) Reassured falsely in the state of the ship, no further orders or evasive action was taken.
>>32789154
>>32789195
Missile defences were turned off. I know the defences work because two American warships were attacked off of yemen and there was not a single hit.
>>32789052
Having a couple escorts doesn't mean surrounded with destroyers. Destroyers that neither ever carry a full SAM load, not full missile load at all.
>That and the Russians only have one modern SSGN
Americans don't operate even a single one by this logic.

>>32789285
What?

>Americans don't operate even a single one by this logic.
The US Navy operates 3 sea wolf class SSNs and 13 Virginia class SSNs.
>Coming from a country that operates fucking Los Angeles and Ohio, lol.
Take a look at the list of active Russian subs, only a handful were made after the fall of Soviet Union. Only 3 new designs, one of which, the lada class, is regarded rather poorly.
The Russian navy is a shadow of what it once was, or rather it essentially is what it once was because they can't afford to retire anything.
>>32789309
Kalibr is supersonic, imbecile. And so is Onyx that fits to UKSK cells.
>>32789328
The fox and the grapes as it is, lol.
>>32789333
You are wrong that, somehow, 80 missiles is not enough to shoot down 24 ASMs. And Ticos can carry a full load of SM-2s.
>>32788910
Neither Russia nor America demonstrated a reactor. The point is that both stories are propaganda pieces, the American story was put out to counter the Russian story.

>>32789405

Meanwhile, Syria was a definite victory for Russians, whichever way you want to spin it.
>>32789428
>this is why we have a couple of carriers ready to go
This is why you can return home and reload missile tubes with more supersonic death. While American taxpayers will overthrow the government after the firs sunk CSG.
>>32789449
Which this whole argument is all about. Why rely on planes when you can hide AShMs under water.
>>32782095
honestly? because the US doesn't NEED missiles which are supersonic.
A.) all of our potential enemies has this habit of storing explosives on the open decks of their ships. so it pretty much just takes a normal hit to do catastrophic damage to them.
B.) all of our potential enemies (barring China) have shit self defense systems. so Tomahawks will do the job.
C.) we do actually have supersonic/hypersonic missiles which can be used against surface targets.
>>32789431
See, you say that they are incapable of shooting those missiles down. But the thing is, I don't believe you. So be a good little RIDF and post proofs.
>>32789428
> couple carriers ready to go
hahahaha
ready to go and do what, bully taliban?
it's common fucking sense that putting that many planes on a fucking floating deathtrap is pretty much the most idiotic thing you can do, when facing a country that actually has submarines and up-to-date missile tech
never mind the fact that currently they're all parked next to each other, ready to get BTFO (not ready to go)
>>32789479
The phrase "Common sense" doesn't work to handwave arguments away. If it's "common sense," why does the USA, UK, France, Russia, China, Brazil, and Italy all do it?
>>32789469
Because planes are much more cost effective and can perform many more roles. Also re-arming and maintaining aircraft is far simpler.
>>32789476
See, you say that they are capable of shooting those missiles down. But the thing is, they never proved to be able to. So either keep shitposing into bumplimit or shut the fuck up and gtfo from this shitposting thread.
> all these asshurt haters
I love the focus on planes, when at least half the loadout on the Kuz was Ka52s n shiet, who fully completed their SAR training and such
>>32789451
i think i see the problem now. dont consider this problem in a vacuum, but try to see how a carrier operates in a hypothetical war. how will your sub or other assets find the carrier? how will you get into a position to fire? if its europe, we dont have the carrier close to shore, we have land-based air. open ocean? good luck. a missile will kill any ship good, but how will it be employed? if a firing platform has already gotten a shot off, something has already gone very wrong
>>32789469
>Why rely on planes when you can hide AShMs under water.
because of the total area you can cover using aircraft. Subs on the other hand? hope the surface is feeding you up to date info or hoping that sonar actually pics something up.
>>32787940
>not stealthy
>>32789510
So we're at an impasse, then. Also
>copying my posts
You're very clever aren't you.
>>32789506
So can the subs. If you have money there is no reason not to hide your long range anti-ship assets under water instead of exposing them for the enemy to attack.
>>32785913
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Pluto
>>32782567
We developed hypersonic missiles 3 decades ago, and shifted away from them because our doctrine doesn't require them.
>>32789522
The thing is, no once gives a fuck about a carrier that stays in the open ocean. Russia is a land power, they don't rely on naval routes even nearly as much as any other relevant country. As for employment and implementation, naval patrols are a thing.
>>32789538
>So can the subs.

>subs are poor at collecting SigInt
>subs are reliant on surface ships for anything more than a limited surface picture
>subs are shit at littoral combat
what the fuck are you on about?
>>32789538
Its more expensive, less mobile, incredibly vulnerable after firing (subsequent launches make it even more likely of being found), refit/refuel periods take a greater percentage of units out of active service, and the whole putting your eggs in one basket thing.

Ah, so we're at this point in your backpedaling cycle.
Well Russian doctrine, doesn't need a bunch of floating deathtraps to put planes on, checkmate.
And yes, you're right the USSR decided they weren't gonna counter carriers with carriers (couldn't afford to either) and went for the smarter option of developing missiles.
It paid off.
You're actually lucky Trumpster is taking you off the collision path with Russia.
Then again you're probably not even American, since you didn't get the memo and are still posting 10 year old asshurt.
>>32789596
Exactly! But people still try and build them up to be some deadly naval power that will go out and sink every thing, when in reality its real job is to protect the country's strategic nuclear assets. Even in the Soviet Union it was primarily defensive in its doctrine.
>>32789596
>The thing is, no once gives a fuck about a carrier that stays in the open ocean.
but thats exactly how carriers operate, and what makes them so hard to kill. carriers dont have to go close to shore, they can stay at a distance which complicates tracking and targeting through the use of deception
www.navweaps.com/index_tech/tech-031.htm
a carrier is essentialy an airbase that moves, stays the fuck away from land-based enemy airpower, and shits bombs and missiles at the enemy from a distance. having a huge ocean to hide and maneuver in helps.
>>32789333
Joke's on you, that's not a soldier.
>>32789635
> we had those

This is like when the US used to have lots of artillery and top-attack munitions, doesn't anymore, but you can still damage control because you "used to".
>>32789642
>It paid off
And what country exists today?
Russia decided to throw a whole giant pile of money at their sub program, which turned out to be so subpar that they nearly bankrupted the country retrofitting the Typhoons, which are all now decommissioned.
>>32789597
>subs are reliant on surface ships for anything more than a limited surface picture
About as much as surface ships are reliant on aircraft and satellites.
>subs are shit at littoral combat
Top kek, are you for real.
>>32789649
But they will sink anything, if you get anywhere close to them, and since they're making up 1/7th of this planet (also located in Eurasia, arguably the most important continent), that's a lot of fucking space to get sunk in.
>>32789660
>used to have lots of artillery and top-attack munitions
And the US doesn't now? Post proofs.
>>32789642
Russian doctrine is defensive, thus does not require carriers; before you say anything, Kuznetsov was for keeping NATO ASW aircraft out of the arctic. Its more or less a continuation of Soviet doctrine, ie. keep the Americans away from the nukes under the arctic and the ports in the north.
>>32789663
You're literally running around in circles right now.
We're talking about missiles, buddy.
And as far as Russian subs go, they're building new ones.
But its cute you're still trying to pin the failures of USSR on Russia.
>>32789642
not the guy you're talking to, but let me break the issue down for you.
>Russia cannot afford to field a large navy.
>Russia doesn't field any sort of strong air defense

>the US can reach out and destroy every sub the Russians have, while they're in port.
>>32789682
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uiFhs5eg1c&t=432s
>>32789678
>anything, if you get anywhere close to them
Seeing as how the majority of ASW roles are performed by aircraft, I doubt this claim.
>>32789695
> russia can't afford to field a large navy
why should they
> russia doesn't field strong air defense
not only is it better than yours, but LMAO anyways

you wouldn't
> we can destroy subs in port
they can destroy carriers in port
checkmate
also post passport, you speak like a fucking ukrainian
>>32789596
>>32789656
in addition to this, we have the F-35, longer ranged than the F-18. bet the Navy is so happy at the increased range. the phrase"hold them at risk at range" is starting to get annoying, but its true
>>32789611
Aircraft requires a carrier and escort that turns out to be more expensive and less mobile due to the sheer amount on logistics involved, is not hidden under water at any point of its deployment and has limited range. SSGN can fire its missiles from under water hundreds kilometres away and follow to the port remaining unseen.

what?

> they did it, but don't anymore
>>32789730
Carriers are damn near necessary if you want to project power across an ocean, if you already have a carrier you can afford to have aircraft to perform AAM, ASW, and most other acronyms. Also stealth is off the table when you perform an under water missile launch which is LOUD, you aren't sneaking anywhere after the first missile
>>32789799
What you're talking about is called an airfield.

>About as much as surface ships are reliant on aircraft and satellites.
>total reliable surface picture of an AB destroyer using only it's own equipment:30-50NM
>total reliable surface picture of a sub using it's own equipment: 12 NM. if the lookout can actually see that far.
additionally surface ships can carry the things they need to expand their range, and can link info with one another to expand it even further. subs cannot.
>Top kek, are you for real.
you ever done sub hunting ops in a littoral zone with an aircraft? you don't even need sonar.
here's the main point. surface vessels have all these advantages and yes, you could theoretically transfer those over to the sub, but the instant you want to be stealthy with a sub, all those advantages go the fuck away.
>>32789793
>They did, but don't anymore
What VLO aircraft did the USSR or Russian Federation ever have?
>>32789656
And it's exactly why carriers won't work even nearly as effective against Russia as they usually are against some barefooted towelheads. You will just find yourself in the same situation as in 1971 in the Indian Ocean.

Except shoot them down, of course. But I forgot that Russian equipment is infallible and always works, and nothing can stop it ever like a child with an everything proof shield.
>>32789799
Why on earth would Russia want to project power across an ocean? It's a land power, it got almost no sea trade to protect. They will be perfectly fine with two, one for both Northern and Pacific fleets.

Good luck with land based air defence and coastal anti-ship and ASW assets. Diesel subs will eat alive anything that comes close enough to their domain.
The quality of this place really has gone down the shitter.
Some faggot actually wrote that airfields are more vulnerable than carriers.
Unbelievable.

>why should they
because they're incapable of any sort of naval superiority with their tiny, decaying fleet.
>not only is it better than yours, but LMAO anyways
oh really? your ground based quad missile trucks which rely on outside warning and are operated by drunk conscripts? or are you talking about your crap CIWS knockoff which only hits a target with an RCS the size of a MiG-15 20% of the time is better than the half dozen different air defense systems the US fields?
>you wouldn't
please, Russia couldn't even maintain air superiority over Georgia and they don't even HAVE an air force to speak of.
>they can destroy carriers in port
only if they make it to the ports. we on the other hand, only have to fly by and drop bombs.
>>32789865
You tell me that carriers are super vulnerable, unlike airfields, I show you that airfields aren't more secure, you get mad. The hell are you on about?

That's Syrian Air Base and Syrian Hinds.
>>32789916
How did you show me that airfields aren't more secure?
By posting a Syrian airfield in the middle of a fucking jihadi warzone?
The equivalent of that would be a carrier surrounded by suicide bombers on zodiacs

>>32789897
>Seriously gonna stretch it to this?
satellites provide non-real time intel to subs, Aircraft cannot be stowed on subs.
oh and lets not forget that subs either need to be on the surface to gather info, or need to be stationary and float a receiver AND have an asset nearby to receive the info from. unless of course they're using HF comms, in which case their surface picture will probably be anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour old. ergo, non real time.
>Good luck with land based air defence and coastal anti-ship and ASW assets
you mean those things that subs don't actually have on them? those things which US carriers are equipped to eliminate?
here's the deal. subs are good at USW. they aren't good as stand alone vessels.

www.navweaps.com/index_tech/tech-031.htm
please read and understand, i've already made my point at>>32789656
a 9mm that hits the target is better than a 50 caliber that misses or cant see the target. mobility and deception is the carriers game
>>32790022
> what exactly are they targeting
let me guess, the carriers are stealthy as well right?
>>32789955
You have to understand vatniks are basically bizarro Canadian shitposters but with the butthurt and inferiority complex turned up to 11.
>>32789991
In terms of ground based defenses the best an airfield can get is the Patriot or S-400, similar to the best vessels. On top of that they're incredibly vulnerable to artillery, SRBMs, and well, aircraft. What exactly makes an airfield so much more safe than the center of a carrier group? All you've done is get mad, you haven't explained anything.
>>32789988
>Coastal targets can hit back much harder
only if they can get close enough and find us
>>32790031
Considering how much fucking ocean there is and how quick they can move if pressed?
Yeah, they might as well be.
>>32790031
>let me guess, the carriers are stealthy as well right?
no, but they don't need to be when up against the absolutely ASTONISHING tracking that the Russians are capable of.
>>32790041
This is just ridiculous.
> the best an airfield can get is S400
yeah and that's better than literally any system protecting a carrier
never mind the TORs, BUKs, Pantsirs, and mass land-based EW.
> vulnerable to artillery
If you've got artillery next to your airfield, then the equivalent of that is a submarine torpedoing your carrier.
> vulnerable to aircraft
Not more than carriers
Listen nigger, if you can't see how an airfield deep inside your own territory and protected by fuck-many layers is 100 times as powerful and useful than a carrier, I actually feel sorry for you.
>>32790067
And what's wrong with Russian tracking now?
Literally the only other country that's built their own GPS.
Also their cruise missiles were on point in Syria.

>Oscar needs to either be fed targeting data from an aircraft(which can be intercepted by the carrier air wing) or sneak within range of the group's ASW screen to find the target itself
>>32790124
The newest russian cruise missile is going to be fit on pretty much all russian ship classes.
>>32789302
The first satellite in the constellation became nonoperational in just over three years.
>>32790134
>it's called in-flight refueling
Its called requiring a significant increase in the amount of aircraft needed in an operation to keep vulnerable tankers safe. Also ops are bottle necked by the amount of tankers available.
>what fucking scenario is this even supposed to be
Vietnam, Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, US invasion of Afghanistan, Iraq occupation, Syria.
>>32790102
>And what's wrong with Russian tracking now?
it's pretty crap against a target that can actively move over a large area in a matter of hours
>Also their cruise missiles were on point in Syria.
you mean against semi-stationary targets? not ships? golly, I'm sure targeting rebel strongholds is exactly the same as targeting a mobile CSG
>>32790173
HAHAHAHAHAH
You wanna talk about bottlenecks when comparing a fucking airfield on land and a carrier floating around in the ocean???!
HAHAHAHAHAA SMDH LMFAO KIDDO!
>>32790205
That effects the rate at which aircraft are launched and recovered, not whether they have the actual range to reach their target.
>>32790218
Speaking of recovering, carriers can't be recovered but airfields can.
Yet another checkmate, how many more do you want?
>>32787753

>You wanna talk about bottlenecks when comparing a fucking airfield on land and a carrier floating around in the ocean???!
Nimitz class carriers carry 3.5 million gallons of jet fuel. a Stratotanker carrier 83,000 pounds of it. additionally the navy is working on a method of manufacturing jet fuel from ocean water.
http://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/fuel-seawater-whats-catch-180953623/
>>32790255
Well you'll be waiting for a long time, because airfields are the tried and true method of storing planes, whereas carriers have only ever been used to bomb helpless jihadis and funnel taxpayer money into the pockets of Lockmart and such.
>>32790270
Its not about storing planes, its about being able to transport and deploy aircraft effectively almost anywhere in the world.
>>32790270
>wwii never happened
>>32790102
Except the four that landed in another country. But I'll give that their old. Here's the thing though, GPS can't be used to hit ships, because they move.
Good luck, getting targeting data to a submarine 2000km from it's target that will still be accurate after the missiles have flown 2000km. And i mean accurate, since they will not be able to see shit sea skimming at Mach 3. In the time it takes the missile to travel, those ships will be gone.
And, of course, they'll see the missiles coming from 400nmi away and all that.
>>32790270
the fuck are you talking about dude? we've been using carriers in war since WW2
>>32790288
He thinks you are talking about storeing planes because that's all his shit tier carrier can do, so he thinks that's all any carrier does
Get this pussy shit out of here
>>32790288
> floating deathtraps can deploy planes more effectively than airfields
bahahahaaha you're delusional
Lockmart please stop lmao
>>32790146
And those ships will never see a carrier group, since they don't have the ability to air patrol themselves.
>>32790314
Did you miss the "transport" part?
Airfields cannot move, vasily.
>>32790316
no, no, no. they might be able to launch drones in the future.
of course all those drones can be downed by just the radiation that destroyers and cruisers produce when they use their air search radar.
>>32790337
> moving airfields
> not building a new one in 2 weeks

They are if the planes need to be somewhere a continent away from the closest airfield.

Thats not anywhere near as effective though, you aren't going to be operating at peak efficiency in something you slapped together in two weeks. Also, its isn't WWII anymore.

Nope those are Russian Hinds at T4 airbase. The Russian MoD claimed it was due to a fueling accident lighting the four helicopters on fire. ISIS's account was a motor strike on the airbase. So do you believe the Russian are incompetent and burned their own helicopters, or that they are incompetent and let ISIS get close enough to motor them.
>>32790347
That's more than long enough for a satellite to see you and earn you a couple of cruise missiles every four days before your air defenses are set up.

>>32790492
The poster was wrong, it's not sent to the missile directly because it lacks the fishbowl receiver, that's on the sub/ship.
The info is datalinked via long band to the hunter missile then propagated to the killers

>slavichu
Well at least I got something worthwhile out of this thread
I don't get the shitposting. Why are people arguing about whether airbases or aircraft carriers are better when the actual answer is both?
The US military has given itself four options; the worlds only super-carrier fleet, the worlds only 5th gen STOVL multirole aircraft capable of operating from amphibious warships and small airstrips, the worlds biggest network of airbases (both US owned and allied), and numerous well-trained military engineers capable of constructing airstrips wherever & whenever needed.
Nobody else has anywhere near this capability.

>>32785913
Not only have you moved goalposts after being shown that speed isn't everything, you move goalposts by only trying to include "operational" weapons after trying to bitch how the US is somehow "behind". Making your premise flawed from the start. The US isn't "behind" on anything and simply has good reason not to field any supersonic/hypersonic systems. In fact, the US is definitely "ahead" of anyone else when it comes to practically anything you can name. Seriously, where's China's X-37 analogue?
Literally peruse through Wikipedia, Designation-Systems, or any other source and you'll see the US has been keeping up on these technologies and more throughout history.
For example:
The Martin Marietta ASALM accidentally accelerated to Mach 5.5 in testing.
The Hypersonic Technology Vehicles of DARPA's Falcon Project.
The X-51 that'll lead to the HSSW as you mention.
The ArcLight project.
Boeing's HyFly missile.
Last but not least, the Pershing II. This one makes me laugh the most since the DF-21D's RV/MaRV is practically a clone of it. Best of all, just mentioning this triggers the Fiddies.
There's plenty more I could mention, not just missiles either, which prove the US is lightyears ahead of the rest of the world, though I'll leave you to either look it up or continue being an insufferable faggot and embarrassing yourself.
