Considering that now military hardware is so complex, tech heavy and expensive that most nations have to organize into joint programs to make new designs, were the reformers right all along? How long can we sustain this policy of making überpowerful wunderwaffen that require decades to implement and can only be built in very few numbers?
> were the reformers right
No.
Fpbp.The West is averse to casualties and rich.Throwing money at the problem is our natural way of fighting.
the west - NATO, if you're a thirdie - has thrown countless billions of dollars at a nation it has no formal alliances with
you're moving on to copioids if you truly believe the US is averse to war
Adverse to casualties, not adverse to war. We'll spend millions if not billions of dollars if it means one less casualty.
It’s not even a casualty aversion thing. It’s a simple logic of “good pilots in good equipment are more effective than good pilots in shitty equipment, and wayyy more effective than shitty pilots in shorty equipment”
> shorty equipment
...autocorrect?
…yes. It’s definitely that and definitely not me being moronic.
>wayyy more effective than shitty pilots in shorty equipment
Manlets, when will they learn?
Not only that but spending money can save money.
Look at how much is cost to kill the ball bearing factory in Schweinfurt.
>137 B-17s killed
>179 B-17s damaged
>2 Spitfires killed
>3 P-47s killed
These days a single F-15 would get the job done much cheaper despite being a more expensive plane dropping more expensive bombs.
The west is not averse to casualties. The west is averse to a fair fight, because the only unfair fight is the one you lose.
The west is averse to needless casualties, not casualties in general. Desert Storm and the pre-ground-war estimates should show you that the US and all its allies were not scared of losing men.
Well yes, but I believe the case the anon is talking about was done between an F-16 with drop tanks and an F-35 with flight testing instrumentation to figure out oddities in the F-35's flight control systems. I remember third worlders making fun of the F-35 at the time for "being unable to fight a clean F-16".
>I remember third worlders making fun of the F-35 at the time for "being unable to fight a clean F-16"
I love their mentality
>your new plane is so shit your 50yo planes beats it
As if they have anything that competes with the 50yo plane.
I have read F-16 pilots on combat missions would set up selective jettison for the tanks before entering the AO so it's one button to ditch them.
>I have read F-16 pilots on combat missions would set up selective jettison for the tanks before entering the AO so it's one button to ditch them.
Well I think it's actually two, one to get to the SJ page and then one to actually jettison, but yeah you're right. It's one button if you hit the emergency jettison.
People don't talk enough about how insane the F-35 being able to do 800nmi+ missions on internal fuel is. Even just the lack of drag from the tanks is a gamechanger, let alone the lack of a G restriction.
>800 nmi
Imagine taking off for a long range mission and then realizing that you really need to take a shit and realizing you're going to be trapped in that plane for 4+ hours.
Reminds me of that AAR video where the KC-135 boom operator was bragging about having water and fried chicken on the plane and the fighter jet pilot was audibly jealous.
The B-1 that did a 15 hour mission the other day must have been fun.
>4 guys
>1 3ft by 3ft area big enough to stand
>no shitter
I think for missions like that you just accept your fate and trust in the cyber diaper.

FPBP. The Reformers are glue-huffing morons who unironically believe that cheap-and-spammable is better than making an investment in technological superiority, and for a case study in what happens when the two face off, read up on the Battle of Rourke's Drift.
The low cost high numbers area is now filled by ground launched drones not manned kamikazes larping as F16s.
This, but instead of drones it's cruise missiles using drones and ISR assets for targeting. Relying on shitty fixed wing UAS for attacks is a cope poor countries engage in.
The biltzfighter is trash and Burton was a lying hack, so no, they were not right.
>were the reformers right
Lol, no.
>How long can we sustain this policy of making überpowerful wunderwaffen that require decades to implement and can only be built in very few numbers?
We can't sustain it today, that's why the F-15EX is entering production and this is the solution we'll see for other high cost systems.
>build a few great ones
>build a lot of ok ones
It's the same old "high / low" system the air force has used for decades only today the "low" is a modernized "high" from the 70s.
>that's why the F-15EX is entering production
no, dipshit, the F-15EX is for the National Guard
the F-35 is the low
the NGAD is the high
The NGAD is the future high. It’s more accurate to call the f22 the present high
The price of a new F-15EX is higher than that of a new F-35A.
If you wanted that shit show's capabilities youd be better off with a suicide drone. Cheaper, easier to replace, wont get the pilot (which you sunk training costs into) clapped by el cheapo aa.
Uber capable platforms have their place, if in the current conflict the us decided tp use their f35s to clap the russian airforce for ukraine, there really isnt dick the russians could do but nook or die to anything airborne.
In WW1 pilots had a few weeks of training, as long as the plane costs less than a private it is viable.

Russia's relation to technology is Imperium of Man-tier, squatting atop the ruins of a lost civilisation that actually knew how to build shit, only making things they have the STCs of, performing incantations and rituals because nobody knows how anything actually works anymore
Comparing Russia to the imperium is an insult to the Ad. Mech. At least the boys in red are TRYING to reverse engineer their way back to the golden age and their caution in the process is more than justified by the literal motherraping demons fricking with them.

Fricking Sparky
I love that man like you wouldn't believe. When he croaks I'll cry more than I did at my grampa's funeral.
>JBIR
Every goddamn time.
Points for “Houthifricktards” tho
You know what, no. I’m fricking mad at you Sparky.
The ENTIRE GODDAMN POINT of the F-35B is that you DON’T need a ramp or catapult to take off. So why would you spend BILLIONS reactivating battleships and modifying them with a flight deck if you can just chuck a couple of helipads and call it a day?
Also, why the frick are you having billion dollar battleships escorting convoys? That is quite literally what you use “tin cans” for.
Well. I have... AN explanation.
I shoudl elaborate. Basically, sparky sees naval combat as SW space battles, with "ships" only being there to do the work of the "star destroyers" (aka launch planes and "killer bee battleboxes" at each other, and have big guns for seemingly almost no reason), also missiles are just not a thing in his vision. And most of the combat would be handled by a mix of planes, paratrooper boarders, and picrel basically doing everything from logistics, support, asw, just everything else (like medium ships in star wars). No. SERIOUSLY. UNIRONICALLY. THIS IS HOW HE THINKS NAVIES WORK.
I mean…a modern Catalina would be based as frick.
That's the thing I love about Sparky so much. He's bonkers. He's a schizoid can on bud lite. But the world of his delusions would make for such an immensely based videogame or movie. He's somehow crafted this ibtricate mythology, alt history (he's a hollow earther btw), alt tech, etc. And if it was fiction it would be fricking LoTR level. Only other schizo I found that gets to his level is Jordan from Spirit Science. (The guy that thinks the earth is a donut.) These 2 little gremlins put most authors out there to shame!
Sparky. Sparky please. Gib mantis gf. Please.
this is frickin wild man, saved, I need more schitzoid references and this guy is pretty good
No prob, fren.
I should add... He hates the F-35B and this Picrel is what the navy should be using.
This btw is why, as most point out, his designs don't seem to have any way for the planes to land back on the ship. Indeed, he expects them to land on the ocean and then be craned away or back into the ship. Indeed, they're basically on a one-way trip.
>why can't Russians just shoot down Blitzfigher?
>because.... because.... just because chud!
>Can literally use a 2010 smartphone with custom software and some pin outs as a missile flight computer and achieve 10 meter CEP
Keep larping about that Soviet 1950s equipment as good enough.
The issue is that at a certain level of tech advantage you can basically style on your opponent. The F-14 could basically snipe MiG-21s from so far out that the Iraqis didn't even realize they were being attacked. The Serbians never recreated their F-117 shoot down despite continued F-117 bombings. NATO basically gave up any wargame involving facing the F-35 in BVR and now demands all mock dogfights start in visual range with the F-35 carrying drop tanks.
>drop tanks
F-35s don't have drop tanks, you're probably thinking of F-16s being flown with them, which I believe they did at points for testing.
F-16s nearly always carry tanks because lack of fuel is their biggest weakness.
Also an F-16 in an actual proper dogfight is going to drop tanks unless it has absolutely no choice. Tanks limit it to like 5G, which funnily enough means that an F-35 running on internal fuel without internal stores would be able to fricking style on an F-16 in that configuration.
no, the 30mm cannon is not enough to attack armored ground targets, guided bombs and missiles are much more effective
It's almost as if the A-10 was more useful as a missile truck than a flying gunboat.
At the same time, having a 30mm on a ground attack plane isn’t a bad thing. It’s more effective at plinking lightly armored stuff like IFVs and trucks than 20mm. That being said, the GAU-8 has was too high a RoF, so it eats ammo quickly. Something on the order of 600 rpm would be more ideal I think
The cost of even a cheap plane + pilot is enough that it's insanely irresponsible to put it at risk by engaging with guns instead of dropping bombs/missiles now that PGMs are dirt fricking cheap.
Complex systems engineering, including aircraft, is currently undergoing a revolution. The B-21 is probably the first example of a MIC product with the new processes.
Basically, if you steal all the "agile development" crap from the software world, notably the concept of continuous integration, you can start to automate all of the expensive and error-prone bureaucracy inherent to systems engineering. You make sure that your system is properly modeled, and that all of the engineering documents are either automatically generated and kept up to date, or generate warnings and errors if they drift from your master model. Thus you reduce the issue of the workshop making a part that's two revisions out of date, for an assembly that just got fixed the night before and when you have the parts in front of you they don't fit together. Or, you get rid of the 15 people who's only job was to make sure that precisely that didn't happen.
This shit is brand new. Model based systems engineering (MBSE) got started around 2005. The tools are in active development, and the next version of the tool everyone is excited about, SysML 2.0, is currently in beta (when it's not stuck in committee). Pretty soon we're going to have physical machines with the same level of arbitrary complexity as the craziest (non-pajeetified) software projects.
frog foot but worse
The F-16 started out as a cheap and mass-produceable day fighter, and it sucked balls. Nowadays the F-16 is a premier all weather multirole platform, and they turned her into that by bolting as much tech as they could to her. They basically had to un-reform her
>what if we deliberately get just absolute shitloads of our most highly-trained and valuable officers killed for nothing and permanently cripple our military because I fantasize about being a WWII dogfighter?

There are orders of magnitude of cost savings available in all aspects of military contracting

I think they'd jack their dicks off at militarized COTS.
>can only be built in very few numbers?
3 F-35's a week peacetime production sounds pretty good to me. Especially with the capability gap between 4th and 5th gen
I don't know if you've been paying attention but they tested out a new procurement strategy for the B-21 instead of the usual, and it's on time and on budget
So once the old procurement strategy finally dies off completely new stuff is gonna get developed a lot faster and a lot cheaper
If you adjust for inflation, the F15 and F100 series were all very expensive too. That's why you share costs where possible. In the future you'll probably see

I do not see malice in that which can be explained by stupidity.
But if I did, I would think that these frickers are foreign agents whose job is to slow down technological innovation by some "gun is fine" mentality.
Sadly, they are just stupid.
Imagine this:
Soviet/russian military likes to boast about their wunderwaffels, but they know that it's all bullshit. It' just smoke and mirrors and parade toys, and in actuality half of their shit doesn't work in real war.
And they see US taking whatever claims they make at face value, and then just ACTUALLY making something along those lines that works, and mass producing it in huge volumes.
Soviets/Russians have some BMP's and T-72's but that's about it. Their other tanks are newly repackaged old ones or something that they can't really afford to produce (at least in the same specs as they claim on paper). Their air force have very little planes that can actually do what they claim on paper. Their radars and air defense is hopelessly obsolete and only propped up by some urban legend how one of them dropped a stealth bomboer and thus it's actually good. But they know it's just smoke and mirrors. Opiates for the masses.
And this creeping feeling starts to get to them that US has a significant lead in technology. US forces starts to pull a longer and longer lead to them.
So what if they could convince Pentagon that all this high tech is useless? What if someone could say to US military industrial complex "No we don't need fancy smart weapons, the gun is fine!"? That would keep the US on roughly same tech level as the soviets, and they wouldn't have to keep up with the ever increasing arms race.
Enter the Reformists.
(now, I don't really believe the reformists are actually some foreign agents, but they keep spouting the bullshit that is indistinquishable from actual psy-op to keep US military on low tech level. They are just home-grown narcissistic morons who don't know jack shit about military technology and have their own pet ideas that they like to spout. And make a living as a bullshit artist.)
The Reformers really just wanted to cut military spending and replace it with social(ist) programs.
>can only be built in very few numbers?
Over 1000 F-35s got build already and production is still ramping up
>were the reformers right all along?
No.
>How long can we sustain this policy of making überpowerful wunderwaffen that require decades to implement and can only be built in very few numbers?
Infinitely, modern systems aren't just one off superweapons, they're platforms and technologies that are either built to capitalize and learn about new development in technology, or create new developments.
The only reason they're built in smaller numbers is because, until very recently, it was assumed that proper global scale war was unlikely.
Lives are worth a hell of a lot more than aircraft ever could be.
>most nations have to organize into joint programs to make new designs
Seems like a great incentive for conflict reduction.
>How long can we sustain this policy of making überpowerful wunderwaffen that require decades to implement and can only be built in very few numbers?
If you send a few remote controlled decoys along with every pilot, there would be too many for modern air wings to shoot down with missiles.
The reformers did have some good points and some of their concepts would have worked well in the right context.
A lot of it was valid criticism of some extremely poor operational concepts that got a lot of pilots killed in Vietnam, like it absolutely shocked the Air Force that they were losing so many F-105s to MiG-17s, basically souped up MiG-15s.
A lot of the tech that was core to how things were meant to operate just straight up didn't work.
In the context of pre all aspect SRAAM, pre reliable IFF, pre pulse Doppler A2A combat the reformer concept of the lightweight high EM, low tech fighter would have cleaned house.
The F-5 would have done very well in early Vietnam combat, so would the F-16A.
However a lot of it was very quickly invalidated by technological trends (some before they came up with it! In late Vietnam Phantoms were quietly but very successfully engaging in networked BVR combat) and a lot of it was just stupid.
The matter of fact is that if you want to engage in a long range air campaign, you need heavy fighters in order to have the range, so ultimately even ignoring tech you were going to need to build expensive fighters at some level at least to be able to support an air campaign in the way that the US intends to fight.
Focusing on solving BVR combat actually synergises very well with that.
>some good points and some of their concepts would have worked well in the right context
The issue I have with saying that is that many of their "good points" can often be boiled down to "[thing] should be better", without a proper understanding of how to actually make [thing] better. They'll get some element stuck in their head, focus on enhancing that and end up ignoring how that element isn't relevant in the greater picture.
Pic mostly unrelated
>were the reformers right all along?
It really depends on the kind of war. If you're doing 20+ years of one-sided counter-insurgency innasandbox vs farmers with AKs, I think the high-tech stuff is the way to go. If it's WW2 levels of trying to out-produce the enemy for cheap, and with high attrition rates, the reformers do have a leg to stand on there.
But it's all israeli money-printing anyways, so someone will get rich regardless. Which israelite do u want to get rich?
Nobody would have taken them seriously at all if there weren't major problems with how the air force was operating before.
Phantom pilots went into battle with practically no relevant ACM experience and were frequently caught out by the known handling quirks of their own aircraft (the Phantom's roll controls reverse above 15° AOA? Well just don't fly above 15° AOA!).
They basically had to relearn Korean war era tactics, it was a total shit show.
The cost and complexity is high not because of the tech. It's high because the military industry is a slow, cost plus, pork barrel jobs program. If the drive was there high tech cruise missiles and drones could be optimized to be mass produced by the gorillions for a cheap-ass unit cost. Just like how SpaceX got dat Mars zeal to ass-frick the MIC boomers by taking this space rocket shit more seriously then to spend decades meticulously milling isogrids for a billion dollars a piece stagnant mediocrity.
>spend decades meticulously milling isogrids for a billion dollars a piece
what do you mean?
The way they make the whole rocket is they take a huge fat expensive block of aluminum and mill 99% of it away. Yes technically it has better strength to weight that way but it costs frick ton and takes a lot of time. SpaceX stir welds sheets together and welds stamped stringers where extra strength/stiffness is needed. They do it that way because they actually want to produce stuff at volume affordably.
An even more egregious example from SLS (On SpaceX Falcon 9 that's a composite part):
https://twitter.com/Astro_Chuck/status/1699907444187783352
This is just one example but it's like that in everything and it adds up. This is a result of cost plus pricing in government contracts. Defense/aerospace corporations are incentivized to spend as much money as possible because it directly increases their profits.
SpaceX is big on fixed price as their competitive advantage. If they frick up, the expense is on them. You know the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft? The one thanks to which Americans can go to the International Space Station again since 2020 without relying on Russians? It's a result of a fixed price commercial contract by NASA. Boeing was another competitor with their Starliner. They actually got more money than SpaceX but they're yet to carry crew. It's plagued with problems and Boeing lost billions on it. Boeing recently came out and vowed to never do fixed price ever again, only cost plus. The traditional defense/aerospace companies are optimized to slowly suck government money titty. They're not optimized to be an agile, well oiled production machine.
>Boeing recently came out and vowed to never do fixed price ever again, only cost plus.
Well, Boeing is the same company that literally outsourced MCAS code to India (that's not me being racist, they literally, genuinely, outsourced the critical flight control software to an Indian company because it was cheap), received it, didn't check it for basic safety measures in all avionics (does it rely on several data sources instead of one, does it handle failure well, can the pilots override it), slapped it into the 737 MAX, didn't bother to write anything in the documentation to make pilots aware of it, and made the light warning the pilots the system had detected a failure condition/activated an OPTIONAL EXTRA THAT COSTED MONEY.
And then when two flights went down because MCAS activated and violently, repeatedly, nosed down the plane, and the pilots were unable to manage literally everything else (sudden departure below 10,000, having to communicate with ATC, troubleshooting, trying to figure out if it was trim messing up or something else) alongside the MCAS trying to pull a UA 93, Boeing blamed BOTH FLIGHT CREWS AND PULLED A BUNCH OF USEFUL IDIOTS OUT OF THE WOODWORK TO CLAIM THEY WERE UNEDUCATED SAVAGES WHO "COULDN'T HANDLE RUNAWAY TRIM".
NOT A SINGLE BOEING EXECUTIVE WENT TO PRISON FOR THIS BTW.
Sorry I went on a bit of a rant there. Point is Boeing is a failed company running on inertia and you shouldn't trust anything they make. I'd trust an electric car made by Airbus engineers while drunk and high over whatever the frick Boeing has cooked up.
Except old school well maintained 737 NGs. Those things are rock solid.
By the way, runaway trim is a memory item so it's something you're supposed to be trained for, but the real thing that caused both crashes was MCAS activating for literally no reason below 10,000 feet. Boeing used the excuse that the pilots were undertrained simply because it was an available excuse, in fact they were probably thanking god/buddha/allah/yahweh that it wasn't a US flight crew that nosedived into the ground at 400 knots. They used racism to try to get people to think that MCAS was merely a possible but unlikely failure mode instead of a severe engineering frickup that maxed out BOTH PILOTS SIMULTANEOUSLY and resulted in a crash.
> The mean value of the airspeed data transmitted by Flight 610 was around 300 kn (560 km/h; 350 mph), which was considered by experts to be unusual, as typically aircraft at altitudes lower than 3,000 m (10,000 ft) are restricted to an airspeed of 250 kn (460 km/h; 290 mph)
You have to frick up really, really badly to completely task saturate two very experienced pilots (captain had like 6,000 hours) to the point they throw the 250-under-10,000 rule/guideline out the window in an attempt to figure out what the hell is going on with their plane.
Boeing is a dogshit company and half of its executives should be in prison.
Oh finally, here's a part from the NTSC report before some moron jumps in to pretend to be a super cool elite 9000 hour F-22/AC-130/F/A-18EFJGH/737/A380 pilot and tell me that they were just stupid Black folk:
> 9. The multiple alerts, repetitive MCAS activations, and distractions related to numerous ATC communications were not able to be effectively managed. This was caused by the difficulty of the situation and performance in manual handling, NNC execution, and flight-crew communication, leading to ineffective CRM application and workload management. These performances had previously been identified during training and reappeared during the accident flight.
> can the pilots override it
Which they can.
Presuming the pilots aren’t moronic and know their memory items like they’re supposed to.
Yeah, here it is. Boeing's immediate appeal to racism stuck with a lot of pilots.
Let me just say it once, so you can get it through your head:
THE FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ISSUING REPEATED ERRONEOUS NOSE DOWN TRIM COMMANDS WITHOUT WARNING THE CREW OF SAID ERRONEOUS CONDITION IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE, AND THE CREW BEING "ABLE TO JUST DISCONNECT ELECTRIC TRIM" IS NOT AN EXCUSE. BOEING IS CRIMINALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF ALL OF THE PASSENGERS AND CREW OF THOSE TWO AIRCRAFT.
Now go on, call me a libtard and say I love blowing Black person dick or some shit.
Nah, you’re just a moron.
The remedy for MCAS was the exact same procedure for runaway trim every single 737 produced in the last forty years. If the pilots could not recognize a runaway trim situation and correct it, then that is 100% a failure on the part of the pilots, no matter where they come from.
Nope, it's a failure on the part of Boeing. See the $2.5 billion settlement.
>Boeing will pay a total criminal monetary amount of over $2.5 billion, composed of a criminal monetary penalty of $243.6 million, compensation payments to Boeing’s 737 MAX airline customers of $1.77 billion, and the establishment of a $500 million crash-victim beneficiaries fund to compensate the heirs, relatives, and legal beneficiaries of the 346 passengers who died in the Boeing 737 MAX crashes of Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302.
Are you going to tell me that the Department of Justice are moronic as well?
Yes.
Ok, you're just completely moronic then. Thanks for admitting it at least. If you actually do work for an airline please make all of your coworkers aware of your opinion on this so that at least one of them can record it and present it to the FAA/management/etc.
Naaaaah. You think?
