I like the idea, imagine what you could do with one of these.
Yes u heard right Japan call it as Heli Destroyer or Heli Carrying Destroyer due to Old Treaty they have sign after their Surrender against US in WW-2 which restrict them from building & using AC, So they build Helicopter Carrier & call it Heavy Destroyer. Now as F-35B can operate from its deck & its not a full Aircraft Carrier like other Navy's US agreed to Sell them F-35B. Other Reason for US agreeing is to Counter Chinese Navy & in future they are going to relax this Treaty too.

It is liquid fueled too, and all the limitations that implies.
Liquid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) have several limitations, including: Safety Liquid propellants can be difficult to store and transport safely, making it difficult to keep missiles pre-loaded with fuel. Fueling process Liquid-fueled missiles require a long fueling process before they can be launched. Weight Liquid fuels require pumps, piping, and separate storage for the fuel and oxidant, which adds extra mass to the launch vehicle. Vulnerability to interception Russia's forces are vulnerable to a boost-phase intercept due to their reliance on liquid-fuel missiles. Solid fuel missiles have several advantages over liquid-fueled missiles, including: Combat readiness Solid propellants allow missiles to be always combat ready because they don't need to be fueled immediately prior to launch. Maintenance Solid fuel missiles require less maintenance and preparation time than liquid-fueled missiles. Storage Solid fuel can remain in storage for an extended period without degrading or breaking down. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By daemon734: Even using the Ukrainian brigade structure for a light airborne unit, it still isn't all about moving infantry from point A to point B. They still have organic fires, organic communications, organic medical, organic engineers, organic logistics, etc. They need artillery and all the associated mobility and sustainment related equipment. They need engineering assets, probably significantly larger than axes and C4. They need upper and lower TI comms. They need reconnaissance capability, which in this fight includes organic UAS and EW. Maintenance and logistics needs a ton of shit. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/45449/Screenshot_2024-09-17_072856_jpg-3324580.JPG In DS#1 my unit had to acquire some extra vehicles and I ended up driving a beat to shit Mercedes truck that we bought/stole from Bedouins or locals. I was able to drive the manual from my 12B days...Those trucks had all sorts of crazy colors and markings and no two were the same. Mine was decorated inside with all sorts of religious pictures and the window had tangling tassels. We called them "circus trucks". My rifle almost fell out because the door wouldn't close and had to be tied shut with a cord. Fun times. That was an MP unit. Later when I was in an actual light infantry unit, we never walked anywhere either. Always on trucks...deuces or 5tons. Even in the NG (light infantry) when I got deployed for hurricane duty, I didn't walk from Tallahassee to Panama City. And POV's ere a no-go. Unless China invades and I'm fighting from my patio, armies will need lots of vehicles. |

👀"Our eyes" see everything: in Kerch, three kilometers south of the Kamysh-Burun port, the Pantsir-S1 air defense missile system is located
The military raised a large mountain to install it. The schedule of duty shifts for this Russian air defense facility has been tracked. https://t.me/Crimeanwind/67256 |

Which is exactly how Ukraine got Yanukovich in 2013. Way too many people thought they were making a statement by either not voting or voting for a protest candidate. I have never seen the utility of a "protest vote". Protesting to whom? What good will it do or what good has it done in the past? Just throwing your vote away. I see it much the same way as Russel Crowe did in the movie "Master and Commander", when he chose the "lesser of two weevils". Sure it is a rotten hand we are dealt this time, but I am going to choose the "lesser of two weevils" I am voting Trump. Mrs "word salad is just a brainless dolt. We will have 4 more years of going down the toilet, only worse. There you have it. I have decided. I don't vote for dead people. |
