OT: any bets/guesses on our new weapons system

I'm assuming it is a hypersonic missile system, that is ALSO nuclear.

Although, equally plausible Trump misspoke on the nuclear aspect, and it is just a newly realized hypersonic system with end-range loitering target capability, as leaked in June:

This is all stupid.

The Russians and Chinese have been crowing about this publicly.

Our system has probably been functional 20 years by now.

Just took someone to come along and leak it.

The article even mentions the Lockheed D-21 program.. that was 60 years ago!

I thought the point of the Ohio class is you never know where our subs are so they can't be targeted. And these carry halh our thermonuclear weapons, and if I understand the configuration with the missiles being MIRV, one sub is more than enough.

biggest explosions, loudest bangs. Actually I just heard out Airforce would no longer dominate a major war as it would have in the past.

Lots of new requirements coming along to meet what some perceive as "conflicts of the future", however, we've got a bad track record of predicting what those conflicts truly end up being.

Where are the mods to shut this warmongering political thread down? We can’t talk about AR-15s but this?

i can not emphasize enough what a "jerk" comment this was to make.

do you really think the moderators read every single post as it is created in real time?

did you report the post and use the tools available to you to lodge a complaint?

no, you did not, instead you used your keyboard to insult the forum and the moderators, in a public manner.

bad move on your part.
