It is surprising how many of you people NUDE

AVATAR
In computing, an avatar is the graphical representation of the user or the user's alter ego or character.
It may take either a three-dimensional form,[1] as in games or virtual worlds, or a two-dimensional form
as an icon in Internet forums and other online communities.[2][3] Avatar images have also been referred
to as "picons" (personal icons)[4] in the past, though the usage of this term is uncommon now. It can
also refer to a text construct found on early systems such as MUDs.[5] It is an object representing the user.

F35 Engines Deemed Unreliable By Government Accountability Office
http://newswatchreport.com/item/179...nreliable-by-government-accountability-office

Two separate US government watchdogs are outlining problems with the engines used in their
F-35 jet fighters - one finding the systems unreliable and another citing dozens of violations in
its quality assurance inspection.

 

Advances in missile technology have rendered the F-35 obsolete so it is really a mute point whether or not we ever get these planes off the ground in a reliable state.

Continuing to work out the bugs on an already obsolete piece of equipment is an exercise in futility.

 

I'm not surprised the Russians are so far ahead in EW department.

Our guys are too busy staging false flag operations and playing games to be worried about EW improvement.

Or, were our guys just out-maneuvered? Another case of US playing checkers, Russia playing chess?

 

Definitely a case of Russian's playing Chess. Since the dawn of time if your economy went down the tubes you just attacked your neighbor and stole their stuff. Nukes changed this as any benefit from attacking a nuclear power is far outweighed by the cost of your own destruction.

Economic power has then replaced military as the strongest piece on the global chessboard.

You would not know it by US policy. Another historical truth is that the cost of projecting power increases as technology spreads. The prime example is the gatling gun. With one gunship the British could take over an entire African nation (fighting back with sticks and stones). As technology spreads (and it always does) the African nation eventually got the gatling gun.

Now you have to send an entire armada (think storming a hill defended by machine gun turrets) and you will take mass casualties. Projecting power all of a sudden became very expensive.

This transition resulted in the economic decline of Rome and the last 3 world economic empires (Dutch, Spanish, British).

It is not like Russia and China are unaware of this principle. With Reagan ramp up of spending the Soviets realized they could not match the US plane for plane, ship for ship.

What Russia did was focus their efforts on niche technologies. In the 1990's they came out with their Sunburn - anti ship missile. A supersonic cruise missile that skims along the surface and is detected only when it breaches the horizon at which point the ship has 45-50 seconds to react. At the time the US had no defense and these missiles were a decade more advanced than anything we had.

This is a prime example of technology making the cost of projecting power more expensive. A bunch of missiles costs very little in comparison to Carrier fleet.

That was 20 years ago. The newer Russian missiles are "hyper sonic" - reducing the reaction time down to 25 seconds, stealthy, and smart. They conduct evasive maneuvers prior to impact. Our massively expensive floating cities of metal are, for all intensive purposes, obsolete on the modern battlefield against an foe such as Russia. What is worse is that this technology (not the latest but it matters not) is being sold to small countries like Syria and Iran.

In the war in Yugoslavia in the late 90's the Serbs were able to hit two F117 Stealth bombers and take out an F-16. They figure out how to see the stealth planes and used modified 1970's Russian SAM technology.

Good luck against modern SAM's. Planes piloted by humans do not have a chance.

Now we hear about another niche technology developed by Russia in this electronic jamming. This will not yet be available to other countries but in time it will be.

Syria took out an Israeli F-16 the other day with their Russian S-300 system.

Of the 2200 fighter aircraft there there are only 180 or so of the new F-22 Raptors. The F-35's cant get off the ground and the rest are all older stuff.

That said, it is doubtful that even the F-22's are a match for modern Russian missiles. The rest of our force has no chance.

Total Military Spending was 350 Billion in 2000. After 8 years of Bush spending was over 900 Billion and now it is over 1 Trillion.

If we had just maintained spending (with an increase for inflation) we could have diverted 550 Billion/year over 14 years = 8 Trillion + towards infrastructure, technology, and gearing up our economy (the important piece on the global chessboard).

Instead we threw that money down the toilet on obsolete military technology and useless/unnecessary wars with no return on investment. In face negative return on investment as we are now saddled with tens of thousands of injured and/or psychologically impaired vets to take care of.

The future of warfare is "drones and more drones". In the meantime, during this transition period we will have to figure out what to do with all our obsolete equipment and what to do with all the soldiers that will soon be out of a job.

Not that there has been any real enemy to fight for the last 3 decades or more. That there is such and enemy (some big bogeyman army at our gates) is just a "necessary illusion" created for the consumption of the raging masses to they will continue to support 1 Trillion/year in total military spending.
