pappyn: Olodo! Maybe you haven't noticed that this is an irresponsible thread about WAR! Scoot. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SMART BULLET (You can't hide) MEND please buy this. "It would be hard to describe a bullet as smart, but what if that bullet was laser-guided, radio-controlled, and carried an onboard targeting CPU? The US Army has announced the creation of the XM25 rifle, which can fire a new type of explosive round that fit that exact description. Imagine the implications: hitting targets inside buildings or hiding around walls. Whoa. First, the scope on the rifle has a laser that gauges the distance to the target. The soldier can set exactly where the 25-millimeter bullet will detonate by adding or subtracting 3 meters from that point. Then, the scope will send a radio signal to a chip inside the bullet telling it how far it should travel before exploding. Now, here’s where things get truly nuts: Each bullet has a small magnetic transducer that interacts with the Earth’s magnetic field, generating a tiny alternating current every time it spins as it speeds toward the target. Measured against the gun's specially calibrated rifling, this means the bullet can keep track of how far it has traveled in real time. Whoa, again." http://www.popsci.com/military-aviation-amp-space/article/2009-06/smart-bullets

C-130J Super Hercules The C-130J is the newest version of the Hercules and the only model still in production. Externally similar to the classic Hercules in general appearance, the J model is a very different aircraft. These differences include new Rolls-Royce AE 2100 D3 turboprops with Dowty R391[2] composite scimitar propellers, digital avionics (including Head-Up Displays (HUDs) for each pilot) and reduced crew requirements (two pilots, one load master, and one Crew Chief—no navigator or flight engineer). The aircraft can also be configured with the "enhanced cargo handling system". The system consists of a computerized loadmasters station from where the user can remotely control the under floor winch and also configure the flip floor system to palletized roller or flat floor cargo handling. Initially developed for the USAF, this system enables rapid role changes to be carried out and so extends the C-130J's time available to complete taskings.[3] These combined changes have improved performance over its C-130E/H siblings, such as 40% greater range, 21% higher maximum speed, and 41% shorter take-off distance.[4] The C-130J is available in a standard-length or stretched -30 variant. Lockheed Martin received the launch order for the J-model from the RAF, which ordered 25 aircraft, with first deliveries beginning in 1999 as Hercules C. Mk 4 (C-130J-30) and Hercules C. Mk 5 (C-130J). The United States Air Force awarded a $470 million contract to Lockheed Martin for six modified KC-130J aircraft for use by the Air Force and Special Operations Command in mid-June 2008. The contract is expected to lead to C-130J variants that will replace aging HC-130s and MC-130s.[5] With the addition of the Marine Corps's ISR / Weapon Mission Kit, the KC-130J will be able to serve as an overwatch aircraft and can deliver ground support fire in the form of 30mm cannon fire, Hellfire missiles, and precision-guided bombs.[6] This power, nicknamed the "Harvest Hawk", can be used in scenarios where precision is not a requisite, such as area denial.[7] General characteristics Crew: 3 (two pilots, and one loadmaster are minimum crew) Capacity: 92 passengers (128 for C-130J-30) or 64 airborne troops (92 for C-130J-30) or 6 pallets (8 pallets for C-130J-30) or 74 litter patients with 2 medical personnel (97 litters for C-130J-30) 2–3 HMMWVs or an M113 armored personnel carrier Payload: 42,000 lb (19,090 kg) ; for C-130J-30: 44,000 lb/ 19,900 kg Length: 97 ft 9 in, 29.79 m (for C-130J-30: 112 ft, 9 in, 34.69 m) Wingspan: 132 ft 7 in (40.41 m) Height: 38 ft 10 in (11.84 m) Wing area: 1,745 ft² (162.1 m²) Empty weight: 75,562 lb (34,274 kg) Useful load: 72,000 lb (33,000 kg) Max takeoff weight: up to 175,000 lb (79,378 kg); normal 155,000 lb (70,305 kg) Powerplant: 4× Rolls-Royce AE 2100D3 turboprop, 4,637 shp (3,458 kW) (with Dowty R391 6-blade composite propeller) each Performance Maximum speed: 362 knots (417 mph, 671 km/h) Cruise speed: 348 kn (400 mph, 643 km/h) Range: 2,835 nmi (3,262 mi, 5,250 km) Service ceiling: 28,000 ft (8,615 m) Takeoff distance: 3,127 ft (953 m) at 155,000 lb (70,300 kg) gross weight

Politics aside, the fact is that the Yanks got the best military equipment. Russian and Chinese just isn't in the same class. Not only does money talk (the Yanks invest much more into their weapons programmes) but the US has the people. Take the JSF for example - the technology in that baby isn't just Yank, it's UK too. US has access to the best brains and to way more money - consequently their military hardware is the best in the world. The Chinese and the Russians only have themselves to look to. Probably the only area that the Russians can compete with the Yanks are in submarines, but even there, the Yanks probably have the edge. |

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a fifth-generation, single-seat, single-engine, stealth-capable military strike fighter, a multirole aircraft that can perform close air support, tactical bombing, and air defense missions.[5] The F-35 has three different models; one is the conventional takeoff and landing variant, the second is short takeoff and vertical-landing variant, and the third is a carrier-based variant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-35_Lightning_II Guns: 1 × GAU-22/A 25 mm (0.984 in) cannon — slated to be mounted internally with 180 rounds in the F-35A and fitted as an external pod with 220 rounds in the F-35B and F-35C.[37] Hardpoints: 6× external pylons on wings with a capacity of 15,000 lb (6,800 kg)[37][39] and 2× internal bays with 2 pylons each[39], Missiles: Internal: 4 air-to-air missiles, or 2 air-to-air missiles and 2 air-to-ground weapons. External: 6 air-to-air missiles, or 4 air-to-ground weapons and 2 air-to-air missiles[43] with combinations for the following missiles: Air-to-air missiles: AIM-120 AMRAAM AIM-132 ASRAAM AIM-9X Sidewinder Air-to-ground weapons: AGM-154 JSOW AGM-158 JASSM Bombs: Mark 84 general purpose bombs Mark 83 GP bombs Mark 82 GP bombs Mk.20 Rockeye II cluster bomb Wind Corrected Munitions Dispenser capable Paveway-series laser-guided bombs Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) JDAM-series |

Boeing Vertol : 54,000 lb (24,495 kg) One of the largest helicopter is the [b]Boeing Vertol CH-47 Chinook [/b]also developed in the United States. The H-47 family began development during the late 1950s as an enlarged variant of the CH-46 Sea Knight and has proven to be one of the most successful series of military heavy-lift helicopters. The design features a long, spacious fuselage powered by two engines driving a pair of tandem rotors 60 ft (18.3 m) in diameter. The type is widely used for transporting troops, carrying heavy military equipment like artillery slung underneath the fuselage, and resupply missions. Though the primary users are the US Army and British Royal Air Force, the CH-47 has been sold to over 20 nations as well as civilian operators. The single largest versions of the H-47 developed to date are the MH-47E and MH-47G special operations models. While most CH-47 variants have a maximum takeoff weight around 50,000 lb (22,680 kg), the MH-47E/G have been upgraded to 54,000 lb (24,495 kg). Over 1,000 Chinooks have been built to date and production of newer CH-47F, MH-47G, and HH-47 models continues today.
