Goodbye, Russia and China. I can't wait until we get to

>>137219846
russia)))) don't like you threatening russia like this

Batteries have way less energy density than chemical explosives. What it saves in magazine size it will loose many times over in battery size. The extra range and accuracy is cool though.

>>137219846
China's army is almost twice the size of the US. Soooo yeah good luck with that.

how are they planning to hit a fast moving target with that piece of shit. it's like really expensive larping

Railguns are fancy and all, true, but they need wa too much power and prep time to be useful. If someone hooked ine up to a mobile nuclear core than maybe it'd actually pay off deploying it.

They can be guided.

implying the US isn't so far behind that they keep leaking stuff that doesn't even work yet to try and maintain some illusion that the US is "super power".

They did it with the F-35 for example.

>>137221641
Of course no one else has secret tech.

>>137219846
There is just a small problem: the electricity needed.

The electric power needed for a single shot is 10 minutes of the entire power production of an aircraft carier.

So it is not a viable solution as per the actual level of electric power generation.

It might be possible in boats one days, but that's all.

nigger do you have even a clue how much power an aircraft carrier can produce?

>>137222404

They're going to be replaced with unmanned fighters in 10 years anyway. Johnny air force cadet will be able to kill Chink pilots while jerking off. How does that make you feel?

>>137222595
yes, and that's the reason why I state a single railgun shot takes 10 minutes of that power amount

>>137221160
25k to accelerate that aerodynamic hunk of metal to mach 7 and to ensure it hits an enemy.

Russia used a Rail Gun to break up that incoming meteor a few years back.

I remember seeing video of something striking it just as it broke apart. Lots of talk back then about it being a rail gun projectile.

Why do you keep pretending like you know what your talking about when the opposite is very apparent for everyone to see ? Yoir countrys military is impressive but china would fuck your asses faster than you could say usa.

Russia is developing a smaller electromagnetic weapon that can be fitted on drones, planes, land vehicles etc. That piece of garbage us had needs a nuclear power station in order to work. Russia's can travel at mach 6.8 and is so much smaller.

It's a capacitor fed railgun with a 150km+ range. The comparison is thousands of railgun rounds, reloadable at sea, vs. VLS AShMs and Tomahawks.

Russia recently increased its foreign currency holdings to over $400 billion

>>137224807
The only thing Russia is relevant about is their nuclear arsenal. Getting them at least marginally on our side takes MAD off the table. They're a complete non threat in a conventional war.

>>137219846
Chinese and Asian race are superior to whites. America will never beat China, only lose to it. Iq of Chinese is 110 while that of whites is 95.

>>137222215

Given, these things have terrific range and damage capacity. Even static emplacements might well have a good use, especially if powered by an underground (and hence protected) reactor.

MARAUDER is fascinating as well, but who knows where that's gone or if the whole concept is shelved and merely being used to red herring other weapon developers?

>>137224906
Quiet boy, or no gibs this month.

>>137220938
Except it doesn't use batteries, it uses a gas-turbine electric generator. Kerosene is much more energy-dense than gunpowder or HE because the oxidizer can be scavenged from the atmosphere.

What are they going to use to power those vehicles? mobile nuclear reactors?

>ameriburger education tells you this

Russia has more advanced missiles, radar technology, subs, missile boats and destroyers. All they have to do in a war against you guys is let you come close. They don't have the capability to be offensive and they don't have to either.

>>137225445
>missiles
No. MAYBE AShMs but we've got some new stealth ones.
>radar
LOL no. This has been thoroughly debunked on /k/.
>missile boats
Nope.
>destroyers
Nope.

Take off the proxy, Ivan.

I mean the round costs $25k, sure. What about the enery cost though and refire rate? Wouldn't it have to recharge? I'd assume under heavy use, the maintenence costs required to keep it functional would be extreme as well.

>>137221127
GPS guidance.
>>137221160
>>137223370
Guidance system is the bulk of the cost, as is the case with almost all smart munitions. $25,000 is pretty close to what a JDAM or other GPS-guided munitions costs.
>>137222555
Yes, some HVP projectiles will contain a small explosive charge to split the projectile into numerous hypersonic fragments for wider area of effect. Others will be monolithic for penetration of hard targets. In either case, kinetic energy is responsible for the bulk of destructive power and will be on-par with a typical 5" artillery shell.

>>137219846
You fucking idiot, russia and china has all the gold. The second the world economy (based on us money and petrodollar) crashes, they are top dog again.

Murricans rollout new wunderwaffe every five years and claim they won the world.
This is your taxmoney wasted on nothing.

>>137225771
>What about the enery cost
Even with all the inefficiencies involved in the system (which, between the generator losses, capacitor charging and storage, and inefficiencies of the railgun itself, should amount to about 95% energy losses by my reckoning), the relatively modest muzzle energy (32 MJ for the big naval ones) combined with the inexpensive fuel source (petroleum-based fuel oils) leads me to believe energy cost will be fairly insignificant.
>refire rate? Wouldn't it have to recharge?
Capacitors can charge quickly, and gas turbine generators can put out quite a lot of power. They expect to achieve 10 rounds per minute.
>I'd assume under heavy use, the maintenence costs required to keep it functional would be extreme as well.
Perhaps. We'll see, I guess.

Missiles;
R-36M2 + RS-28 Sarmat and Kalibr missile btfo you too

Radars:
The su-35 and the new radar that is going to be fitted on T-50 btfos anything that is fitted on american planes. Missile detection is also superior to the american counterpart.

Missile boats:
Serpukhov missile boat can take on a carrier fleet easily. The little ship that launch kalibr from Caspian sea to Syria.

Destroyers:
Gorshkov class btfo's any anything except for Zumwalt (if it was in it's optimal state)

No, the problem is not electricity by itself. Is the capacitors releasing the required energy and the system surviving the stress.

Also, you can guess what giant capacitors filled with energy might do when something impacts them...

If it's being shown publicly it isn't state of the art or the most effective tech.

Developments are shown publicly in response to political development for example, in order to reassure the public or deter a hostile nation.
