The F-35 is a Chinese plot to weaken America’s allies. Pierre Sprey knew this and he tried to warn us the best he could.
They hated him because he spoke the truth.

>The F-35 is a chinese plot
>Which is why China and Russia are trying to develop their own F-35
Why does China want to weaken itself?
China is not developing a single engine stealth aircraft. They are building a dual engine aircraft with much more thrust.
It's because their engines suck shit so they need two of them
One better engine > two inferior engines
One good engine is better if you can get away with it.
That means more fuel efficiency and lighter overall package so you can store more missiles.
Plus it means that a given production run of engines will go farther
>Why does China want to weaken itself?
Leveling the playing field.

Wish he died earlier, tbh
On the contrary, if he’d lived longer he’d have been able to see all his bullshit refuted in the real world
Reformists shut their eyes and yelled LALALALLALALA when the Gulf War happened and thoroughly BTFO their entire worldview bro
Nah he'd be one of those people reposting the Bradley picture.
I wish I knew where he was buried so I could go take a shit on his grave.
Doesn’t seem to be true
wtf sprey produced jesus walks?
nvm he only recorded the original choir song which was sampled
>Sprey getting credit for yet more work he didn't actually do.
Why F-35 bad again? Too expensive is not a valid argument especially for US.
It's not.
>Why F-35 bad again?
because its main selling point is that it will incorporate stealth and next-gen sensor suites rather than being an incredibly fast, agile fighter
a reformer cannot begin to understand this design
since anything other than an old fashioned turn-fighter armed with machine guns is heresy to them
Sprey legitimately was a luddite who didn't think a modern fighter jet needed radar lol
>ynr his buddy Burton wrote Pentagon wars and pulled all the Bradley bs because USAF rejected his design for a radarless ground attack fighter that was meant to strafe tanks
It's a mediocre planform jack-of-all trades aircraft gimped by retarded long list of requirements, and the idiotic belief that all three services need just 1 aircraft that has unironically killed all competition in the aerospace sector, and was so fucking expensive that it has killed an entire generation or two of weapon systems (all of them), which has led the US to still use heavily upgraded versions of mid-to-late Cold War equipment.
The US got away with it because it came out at a time when the USSR shit the bet, and China was far behind, and it enjoyed a large lead in engines and electronics compared to its competition. No such gap exists any more.
It's the MIC equivalent of having to send crew on a Soyuz to the ISS half a century after putting a man on the moon.
If the US tries this shit again, it will fall behind the Chinese.
>mediocre
but somehow so good everybody who can get it wants it and everybody who can't seethes uncontrollably over it
>jack-of-all trades
which is the same criticism made about the F-4, F-5, F-16, F-15, and F-18, and yet also the magic special sauce that could have made the F-14 LE BETTER
>retarded long list of requirements
which is what makes it good, but Spreyposters can't comprehend something that isn't a P-51D
>killed all competition in the aerospace sector
because it is so fucking good
>so fucking expensive that it has killed an entire generation or two of weapon systems (all of them)
but is actually cheaper than the F-14
>which has led the US to still use heavily upgraded versions of mid-to-late Cold War equipment
upgraded with the fruits of the project, giving the entire NATO air force much more bang for its buck
Go away reformer you've been conclusively proven wrong over and over and over again
>No such gap exists any more.
bro what?
Chinese engines suck and their electronics are years behind anything the US has.
i thought china was stealing all the US engine designs wholesale
you thought that because you read tabloids designed for you
idk how widespread it is but i did literally intern at a defense contractor? adjacent? place that was later hand-hacked by chinese. i assumed it was pretty widespread considering how shit they are at computer.
lol
>I interned at lockheed
that's like me saying I know the ins and outs of wall street because I sweep a financial manager's floor.
i mean i was in IT and one of my jobs was to install this locker thing on the engineers laptops cause they kept fucking losing them in foreign countries. the chinese guys that stole all the data were invited in to train in the same building where they worked on sensitive and not government contract software though.
They stole technical information on them but that doesn't mean they can replicate them wholesale. There's elements of dark magic involved in stuff like forging single-crystal turbine blades that you'll never be able to replicate by just looking at a copy of the engine's blueprints. They help a lot but there's still a lot of catch up that needs to be done.
>Chinese engines suck
They don't? The WS-10 that has been in production is F110(F15)-tier, and the WS-15 that just became serial is F119(F22)-tier. They don't have F135(F35) tier stuff yet, but this alone firmly puts them in world-second place among nations that build their own engines.
>electronics are years behind anything the US has
Again the electronics needed for AESA radars have a considerable overlap with 5G T/R gear and Huawei is one of the world leaders in those.
Domestic Chinese chips are 28nm, which are very competitive with what the US military uses.
I'd say they're about a bit more than a decade behind in engines, and a bit less in electronics, which is more than anyone who makes their stuff more or less fully domestically (EU,France,Russia) can say.
Implessive.
You are comparing capability of today's technology with that of some twenty years ago. Fielding bleeding edge technology to catch up is acceptable as long as you are trying to catch up.
But if you want to surpass you need to overtake not only the current capabilities but also the stuff that currently is in its early stages of development.
And on that front the Chinese have shown a distinctive lack in capability.
It's not even that expensive.
>next gen fighter for the USAF
>can replace most of it's original fleet in terms of capability
>super high tech
>pretty good maneuverability and speed
>has to be stealthy
>also it has to be able to float like a helicopter
yeah why are people at all surprised this shit was expensive
When adjusted for inflation, the F-35 is actually cheaper than the F-14.
>this shit was expensive
Except it isn't.
We're taking the word of a man who unironically provided commentary on Russia Today.
I always found amusing how a ragtag group of autistic boomers with no real military expertise and laughably outdated ideas call themselves "reformers".
We're talking about a guy who confidently declared in 1978 that radar would never beat Mark One eyeball and the infrared guided Maverick anti-tank missile would never function.
>Pierre Sprey and the reformers
I laugh that he got outed as being a total liar and was at best a fucking coffee boy intern at the time.
QRD?
DoD declassified a bunch of documents around the time Sprey claimed he was working in designing and calling shots on all the aircraft. Some university researcher combed it all and produced a book analysing it (he also did the Bradley period if memory serves) and basically theres 1 mention of Sprey in the entire period and thats him as someones intern sitting silently in a meeting.
https://etd.auburn.edu//handle/10415/595
As retarded as they are, I actually consider it a shame that more reformer ideas aren't well known. Sure, Aerogavins and Blitzfighters are hilarious, but there's so much more
>submarines carrying F-35s, which carry infantry transport pods for infiltration
>all military bases (including stateside) should consist of tents in the woods to avoid enemy first strike
>coast guard needs to get rid of helicopters and replace them with air-dropped submarines
>cargo aircraft should be bi-planes
>gliders are the future
>pic related: inside the cargo container is an APC with a dozer blade that will create a landing strip for the A-10 to land at
And for the greatest analogy ever created:
>Of course like a spoiled "daughter" (fighter pilot mafia) wanting the unaffordable "prom dress" (F-22) in the "shop window" (Military-Industrial, Congressional, Think-Tank Complex), the USAF will pout and wait for "mommy" (the American tax payers) to divorce "daddy" (the liberal Democrats that want to spend on social programs) and get a better "sugar daddy" (4th Reich Corporate Nazi Republicans who lust for war) and let the "prom" (war) go by to get what they want.

>Boeing could build a Folding Wing (FW), Vectored Thrust Canard (VTC) F-15 with stealth and heat tile re-entry features with a ROCKET motor JP-8 fueled with hydrogen peroxide (like NF-104 Starfighters) from conformal fuel tanks to go INTO low-space orbits to do recon, strike--and transport spies/commandos by GRIER pods for the USAF, USN and USSF.
>F-15S5 AeroSpace Sea Eagle.
>Able to eSTOL from ground-mobile ski jump trailer-transporters to evade enemy C4ISR targeting and PDM/TFS destruction or from a ski jump USN or Merchant Marine surface ship or submarine aircraft carrier. Aloft under 100, 000 feet AGL, it would be radar stealthy to prevail in BVR combats but after the "merge" out-dogfight others by Super Maneuverability via VTCs--which can retract like F-14 vanes did.
>F-15S5s could shoot-down satellites and go into space itself to traverse great distances quicker without air friction resistance to include GRIER underwing pods with spies/commandos.
>F-15S5s could shoot-down satellites and go into space itself to traverse great distances quicker without air friction resistance to include GRIER underwing pods with spies/commandos

>F-15S5s could shoot-down satellites
But the F-15A could already do that.
>coast guard needs to get rid of helicopters and replace them with air-dropped submarines
Whut?
I thought reformers were about making everything cheap mass production or did i miss something?
Why would even someone think of something so absurdly complex?
>Flying by C-130J (400 mph) or C-17 (500 mph), the USCG can fly rapidly to the scene of the ship in danger and then deploy at 600-900 feet the rescue mini-submarine (RESCMIN) in-flight by LVAD---a drogue chute to yank it out of the rear ramp and then deploy a large cluster of cargo parachutes to point it nose down so it will pierce into the water like a giant sonobuoy.
>Will this be dangerous?
>Fuck, YES this will be dangerous for the 4-man crew of two submariners and two combat swimmers.
>If you want to avoid all danger, take a gun and have a nice day now and get it over with since you lack the fundamental courage to live life here on earth with any meaning or purpose. But we dare say no more dangerous than the whole jumping-with-fins-from-a-hovering-helicopter-and-trying-to-winch-people-aboard-before-it-runs-out-of-gas clusterfuck.
So instead of risking running out of gas and being able to rapidly evacuate the freezing, injured, possibly burned or bleeding people to an actual hospital you'll have a tiny sub where they have no room to really do first aid that will take forever to get back to shore?

It's called "being ahead of the curve". If we don't know how it will be used today, our enemies will find a problem for our solution tomorrow!
this is the only good idea they had

hahaha holy shit, this batshit lunacy reminds me of something though I can't quite place it
Are we sure that Sprey and the Reformers aren't a Soviet 5th Columnist plan to weaken the US Military?
I'm pretty sure they're very, very stupid and belligerent.
Not 5th columnists just horribly demoralized without realizing it. They're all Vietnam era boomers who had to find a way to cope with the defeat there. Their coping mechanism was that the US doctrine was faulty and Charly with his AK-47, T-55 and MiG-21 must be the peak of military technology.
But every event before and after that has shown them to be wrong.
And the USA did move away from their Vietnam-era doctrine - it just moved in a direction that was even further away from Reformer nonsense.
Yes but I'm sure they have some kinda excuse for it. Look they don't like the MIC and want to go back to using WW2 tech and tactics.
>they have some kinda excuse for it
They're like flat-earthers, they don't believe anybody but themselves, and they are severely, severely Dunning-Kruger'd
Anything is possible when you think you're a lot smarter than you actually are, and that literally everyone in the NATO military is corrupt or a moron
>want to go back to using WW2 tech and tactics
But WW2 was all about outgunning, out-teching and outproducing the enemy.
Even the primitive radards of the time were great.
Not the actual WW2. The WW2 that six year old Pierre Sprey read about in his comic books back in 1943.
>Sprey's dad in WW2
Baron von Richthofen scored EIGHTY kills in his Fokker DR.1 triplane. 3 wings are clearly better than 1. This monoplane nonsense is pushed by the MIC and it's why we will lose the war. And don't get me started on enclosed cockpits! The Red Baron flew in a totally open cockpit, and that's what we need for superior vision! You only need TWO (2) 7.92mm machine-guns; they were enough for the Baron's EIGHTY (80) kills and they should be enough for YOU. Armour is a meme and doesn't work! And you only need one engine driving one two-bladed propeller! More blades is just more weight! Look at how "heavy fighters" are being destroyed by single-engined fighters, obviously shedding even more weight will be even more beneficial! "Modern" fighters are OVERweight, OVERgunned, and will be HELPLESS against NIMBLE Fokker DR.1s! Also, the Red Baron'ss red-painted aircraft totally INTIMIDATED Allied pilots. Camouflage will never work, how can you not see an airplane in the SKY, it's a conspiracy by paint manufacturers to sell many colours of paint. We only need ONE grandiose colour scheme, to strike fear into the hearts of the enemy. Theatricality and deception are powerful agents to the uninitiated!

Huck Finn is REAL
They're more like boomer Luddites who were upset modern technology cucked them out of epic dogfights. Look Sprey was born in 1937 which means his idea of aerial warfare was influenced by the dogfights of WW2 and Korea. Now by the time he's an adult it turns out the gallant sky duels are being replaced by planes shooting missiles at each other. Where's the epic manly fun in that? Pressing a button to blow up a guy from beyond visual range isn't badass. You want to get up close and blast the bro with your big loud 30mm auto-cannon.

Still George Lucas buffoonery in either case.
>Are we sure that Sprey and the Reformers aren't a Soviet 5th Columnist plan to weaken the US Military?
Probably not. The reality is more banal. In the late 70's and early 80's there were a lot of left leaning journalists/politicians who wanted defense spending cuts, but didn't want to look weak on defense while arguing that. Sprey and the reformers had a thin veneer of credibility from a layman perspective, and were arguing that *simple* (cheap) weapons are actually LE BETTER than *high tech* (expensive) weapons. Hence it being convenient to publicize and promote the Reformers and their position.
"Revolt of the Iron Majors" is a long read, but it's got some rather interesting information on reform of fighter Jet development and Air Force doctrine before and after the Vietnam War. And how utterly uninvolved the Reformers were in any of those actual reforms.
>They're all Vietnam era boomers who had to find a way to cope with the defeat there. Their coping mechanism was that the US doctrine was faulty and Charly with his AK-47, T-55 and MiG-21 must be the peak of military technology.
Naw. They believed all that stuff before Vietnam. Iron Majors details an incident where Boyd gave a lecture to some Navy Top Gun instructors during the war, where he dictated to them that based on his maneuverability theories that it was impossible for the F-4 to beat a Mig-17 in a dog fight. Two of the instructors there *had* taken out migs in dogfights using F-4s.
>a long read
it will also make a person hate sparks and his gang beyond reason srsly fuck those guys, they'd rather see the US burn than admit they're wrong
>it will also make a person hate sparks and his gang beyond reason srsly fuck those guys, they'd rather see the US burn than admit they're wrong
Honestly the reformers refusing to admit they were wrong on the high tech weapons was less egregious than them having the gall to claim that their (unimplemented) theories were responsible for the US winning Desert Storm. Particularly in contrast to all the Vietnam era pilots with combat experience who actually put in the blood and sweat in to implement effective combat exercises and training in the air-force.
It really does highlight that the reformers at their core were self-aggrandizing grifters.
>Tbf wasn't Boyd's theory basically all about how in certain domains one aircraft has a maneuverability and energy advantage over the other and therefore should win a dogfight assuming equally competent pilots engaging with no advantageous positioning for either?
Sure. But I think the *assuming* part is the big caveat there, and probably why the combat experienced Top Gun instructors weren't impressed with Boyd. Since their entire job was the business of how you train pilots to be more competent at dog fighting, and how to secure as much of advantageous position as possible for a dog fight. I think they already understood that by Boyd's EMT theory, migs had a maneuverability advantage over their F-4's, this was the real world practical problem they had to solve.
It's like telling John Thach to not bother developing dirty tactics to kill more maneuverable zeroes because they're more maneuverable "in a fair fight".
Yeah not saying dogfighting isn't about being in the advantageous position in the first place, more just that if his assumptions hold his theory could be correct and inform meaningful design choices in making aircraft. Ultimately it's moot anyway though since dogfighting as a whole should be your "Oh shit" resort and not the primary focus when making tradeoff decisions in design
>Yeah not saying dogfighting isn't about being in the advantageous position in the first place, more just that if his assumptions hold his theory could be correct and inform meaningful design choices in making aircraft.
It's less that EMT isn't worth considering in determining design choices, or assessing which aircraft has a mechanical advantage in a dog fight. It's more that Boyd was a turbo autist who argued with navy pilots with actual air combat experience that it was impossible for them to have taken out Migs with their F-4s in dogfights.
>The Top Gun training program had none of the restrictions the Air Force had on airto-air combat and, in developing the training syllabus, the Top Gun instructor cadre sought information from all quarters. At one point, they invited John Boyd, now an Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, to brief the Top Gun instructors about his energy maneuverability charts. While energy maneuverability was by now a common buzzword in the air-to-air community, Boyd's briefing did not go well. Boyd, who had not flown for over five years, insisted it was impossible for an F-4 to win a dogfight with the highly maneuverable MiG-17. The Top Gun instructors disagreed (at least two had shot down MiG-17s in dogfights), but Boyd was adamant in saying it was impossible. The Top Gun instructors left the briefing unimpressed by Boyd and his plethora of charts and graphs, and the unit's commander, Commander Ron "Mugsi" McKeown, said later: "never trust anyone who would rather kick your ass with a slide rule than with a jet."
Yeah, my favorite part is that he had no actual combat experience, just flying wingman in Korea. Most of his experience was just exploiting instability in the F-100 iirc when he was an instructor to try to get fame as "forty second Boyd"
>Commander Ron "Mugsi" McKeown, said later: "never trust anyone who would rather kick your ass with a slide rule than with a jet."
Sounds like SOMEBODY chickened out of an offer to put his money where his mouth was.
Reminds me of Sharky Ward being told that night deck landings in the Sea Harrier weren't possible despite his pilots having already done them.
Eventually the MOD tried to settle the matter by sending a test pilot (with no carrier landing experience) to test a night landing in a 2 seat T4 harrier. The test pilot got disorientated on final and nearly crashed but the high ranking naval officer (idr if he was a Captain or an Admiral) in the rear seat who was a former F-4 pilot and had like 200 hours in the Harrier took control and landed it.
give em the ol' thach weave
Tbf wasn't Boyd's theory basically all about how in certain domains one aircraft has a maneuverability and energy advantage over the other and therefore should win a dogfight assuming equally competent pilots engaging with no advantageous positioning for either?
No, they were just retards.
>coast guard needs to get rid of helicopters and replace them with air-dropped submarines

Mike Sparks isn't a Reformer, he's just a schizo
God I love Sparky. He's a gift that keeps on giving.
Reminder: THIS was what Pierre Spray believed would constitute the ideal fighter.
What even is that? A jet trainer?
The Blitzfighter is a fighter plane with a 30mm autocannon and a single engine. And nothing else. Not even an escape pod. No radar. No missiles. Nothing. It was cooked up by Burton who would later "compromise" by making a second version, picrel, which featured 2 engines, added armor and a larger cockpit (but still no escape pod, its just for visibility... eyeball visibility.)
Spray would later claim this design and call it the best plane design ever.
>with a 30mm autocannon and a single engine. And nothing else. Not even an escape pod. No radar. No missiles.
Fuck me, it's really the Volksjäger but worse
How the fuck is country grasping at straws, doing emergency stopgap measures to prevent getting bombed to shit still more sensible than those retards?
The he162 had at least an ejection seat, which was cutting edge tech at the time
Yes but the blitzfighter has TITANIUM BATHTUB ARMOR (at least on the twin engine variant anyway) Surely that means it doesn't need ejection seats. And besides, if you add ejection those USAF cowards will flee at the first sign of trouble, they must be forced to ride it to the bitter end! (No seriously that was part of the reasoning. To avoid premature ejections better have no ejections at all.)
>And besides, if you add ejection those USAF cowards will flee at the first sign of trouble, they must be forced to ride it to the bitter end!
Kek, forget vietnam/korea this dude regressed all the way back to WWI
Would it surprise you to know he also wanted the Bradley to have the fuel tanks on the outside of the armor, completely unprotected, and carry almost no ammo?
Why?
Did they ever make a concept for the reformer-tank?
I know their dream tank was something like a Leo 1 with M48 turret (90mm gun) and no stabilizer.
Someone posted Burton's Blitzfighter article a few weeks ago. It was basically predicated on the assumption that Soviet armored divisions would have absolutely zero air defense capabilities on the march because reasons.
Short version
>soviet armored divisions expect to advance 20km a day
>it takes several hours to break down, move and set up radar AA
>therefore, soviet armor divisions will spend most of their time unprotected by radar guided SAMs
>modern AAA is no more advanced than WW2 AAA
I knew the devil himself had to have some involvement in this insanity.
satanic
Honestly this is extra funny in the context that the reformers were pinning all their hopes in the air-to-air war on gun only no radar F-16s or F-5's. So obviously Burton doesn't consider Funny Fulctrums to be a viable threat to his Blitzo Fighter.
>because
NATO would "undoubtedly" have total air supremacy, because the Blitzfighter would sweep the skies clear; and Soviet surface to air missiles would "undoubtedly" fail to shoot down the Blitzfighters before being taken out, because "everybody knows" that radar and missiles don't work; also, Soviet anti-air artillery would "undoubtedly" fail to shoot down the Blitzfighters, because WW2 proved that the CAS bomber always gets through
IIRC it was pretty much
>Existed TEL systems are short ranged and require setup time for the battery therefore wont keep up with rapid Soviet advances of 20 km or something
>SA-7, SA-8, SA-9 just dont work because the pilot will be bobbing and weaving and deploying countermeasures
>ZSU-23-4 is an overstated risk and will only hit if our pilot flies a straight level course, German ace gave testimony that using guns he could line up a shot in a short time therefore our guys can just dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge until they're close enough and then straighten out just long enough to shoot.
>Soviet armored divisions would have absolutely zero air defense capabilities on the march because reasons.
laughs in bayraktar
It's somehow worse than the V1 from WW2 the Germans adapted to be a manned fighter plane.
>Volksjäger, only worse
Germany 1945 emergency fighter designs tier
Even Göring & co were smart enough to know that radar was a desirable feature, and that a single 30mm auto-cannon constituted shit-tier firepower by 1945 standards.
A fully decked out ME262 would legitimately have been a more capable fighter than this POS, and it predates the VB-100/200 by like 30 fucking years.
Dude fr saw an ME262 in a Jane's magazine 50 years ago, copied it from memory and thought no one would notice .

>Chile is certainly not a great military power, but its air force is well trained, and they too have given the U.S. Navy reason for pause. In the late 1980s, it was reported that Chilean Air Force pilots, flying the relatively unsophisticated but nimble F-5, had trounced an American carrier air group in air combat exercises. Like the Israelis, the kill ratio was 10:1 in favor of the Chileans. As usual, this incident did not receive much press coverage in the United States.
Does anyone know what exercise he could be referring to here?
if not entirely made up, then probably some campfire dit which some pilot guy mentioned to his neighbour's aunt's 5-year-old son who goes to the same kindergarten as Sparks's psych doctor's son, who told him the story
>Chilean Air Force pilots, flying the relatively unsophisticated but nimble F-5
Chile never operated the F-5. I believe they were still flying Hawker Hunters in the 1980s.
They do have a handful of F-5Es.
Chile had F-5E's and they modernised them to F-5E/F Tiger III. The claim about this came from August 1989 issue of 'Air Combat' magazine, by Jeffrey Ethell. Here is an image of a Chilean downing a USAF F-15 using his autocannons.
I forgot to add, they claim Lt. Klaus Von Storch and wingman Lt. Francisco Jose Lehuede were the Chilean pilots who achieved the most aerial victories over the USA in the exercise. Yet when I search for them, I get a small wiki article for Klaus von Storch saying he was an astronaut trainee and nothing from the latter except the Reddit page that posts the Air Combat article.
>using his autocannons
Yeah, cause that's what they do when teaching / practicing the most basic of combat manoeuvres
and I'm pretty sure that's a US Navy F-14
This is what I was thinking when I heard exercise. Hard to tell without the actual context of the exercise though.
I was just writing out what the claim was for everybody. I do believe it is an F-14. Maybe the guy mistyped.
>I was just writing out what the claim was for everybody
understood, thanks
That's an F-14.
That…doesn’t make sense. If it was the Chileans, then they would have been on BLUFOR. And as far as I know, REDFOR has never used F-14’s. They’ve always used F-5s and F-16’s, and now F-35’s. And it can’t be TOPGUN, because as far as I know, TOPGUN is exclusive to the US Navy. And besides that, they use/used F-5’s and A-4’s.
Not that it matters, because as always, exercises don’t mean shit
F-5 and 1980s is making me think he's referring to Red Flag, which Navy participates in and does allow foreign pilots in. Though Chile didn't participate in it until the late 90s.
This is the same guy who apparently said he brought along Hans-Ulrich Rudel to help with the A-10 project this man's word is worse then useless.
Sprey was a retard and his theory was proven equally retarded by one of the most lopsided aerial combat episodes in history.

why did you cut off the source? why does everybody cut off the source?

Maybe in his head.
because if you have the source it means you can read past the clickbait headline and imfluencers on PrepHole dont want that.
More ramblings
>1. The Navy needs to buy F-35B STOVL Lightning IIs that are SOMEWHAT radar invisible during the pre-merge phase of an air-to-air battle and determine the best way to fly them from Arleigh Burke and Ticonderoga class destroyers/cruisers. Use the retired USS Ticonderoga as a test bed. At least 1 x F-35B Lightning IIs needs to be on every Navy surface combatant to insure we have air cover even in event that there are no aircraft carriers.
>2. Reactivate ALL 4 of the Iowa Class battleships that are heavily armored and can wade into a Chinese communist invasion of Taiwan using amphibious tanks and landing craft to smash them even if we do not have air supremacy. Fit all the Iowas with ski-jumps to fly at least 6 x F-35B STOVL Lightning IIs.
>3. Arm ALL P-3C ASW and E-2C AEW patrol planes with AIM-120 AMRAAMs; they are going to be attacked and they need to defend themselves. Wake up.
>4. Buy small seaplanes that can fit into SEAL delivery nuclear submarines and float planes that can fire AMRAAMs operated from military sealift command and amphibious ships. The small observation/attack seaplanes can also do Maneuver Air Support (MAS) on land and sea by virtue of their low speed agility, armor protection and rear-seat observer. Buy large Russian jet seaplanes to replace the P-3Cs to sub hunt and attack surface ships. Buy transport seaplanes that can land large ground forces in M113 Amphigavin light tanks and rescue Sailors stranded in the water.
>5. Develop submarine aircraft carriers that can covertly deploy marines in M113 Amphigavin light tanks. Get the marines out of the fatalistic, obvious beach assault mentality or disband them and get adults doing the naval ground maneuver mission.
>6. Get more aircraft carriers by using converted container ships.
>7. Improve the 11 large aircraft carriers we have by fielding a navalized A-10 "SeaHogs" that can help fight enemy SU-30Ks by air tanking the F-18s and shooting multiple AMRAAMs.
>At least 1 x F-35B Lightning IIs needs to be on every Navy surface combatant
Honestly pretty based

This is based though.
>M113 Amphigavin
kek
It's actually the other way around, Sprey and the Ben & Jerry's ice cream owners made a PAC and have been caught pushing Russian propaganda to liberal lawmakers to try and stop support for Ukraine
What's weird about Sparks is that he hates carriers, but loves the idea of a "mobile offshore base"
he also hates choppers but spends his time trying to reinvent flying unarmored tanks and IFVs.
the only thing sprey was good at was riding coattails and being wrong all the time
how did this guy manage to convince so many people that he was the sole designer of like 10 different planes despite being some irrelevant jerkoff that probably only delivered the coffee for the real crew?
I want to make a lucrative career as a fake consultant based on a mountain of lies too if it's that easy.
Some people are literally born without shame. You might think you're one of them, but you are not or you would already be doing it.
>Some people are literally born without shame.
for sure but everyone knows that, that isn't the crazy part.
the crazy part is that this dude managed to convince a huge amount of people for decades that he was what he said he was with no proof despite the fact that his credentials should obviously exist somewhere if he really did what he claimed. how do you even get that charade off the ground, let alone keep it going for like 40 years?
He didn’t. Not really. People that actually mattered knew that he and his ilk were retarded. It’s the layman who’s only exposure to his idiocy is watching the History Channel where he can make whatever claims he wants to that actually fell for the grift.
yeah he just demonstrates that journalists are worthless garbage who don't do the one thing they supposedly do for society. Random youtubers are more effective journalists than anyone associated with an old media outlet these days.
I meant regular people though, obviously he didn't influence any of the people that mattered since none of the shit he wanted actually made it into production.
I guess my point is what this guy said
how is it possible that news/tv networks were so bad at their jobs that they repeatedly turned to a literal con artist as a consultant for decades to the degree that it significantly affected public perception of military leadership/spending?
>how is it possible that news/tv networks were so bad at their jobs that they repeatedly turned to a literal con artist as a consultant for decades to the degree that it significantly affected public perception of military leadership/spending?
The Armed Forces refused to call him out on his bullshit
Everyone born with shame has compromised defenses because they don't understand how someone could just lie to them like that.
Unless you are a prolific public influencer like an Alex Jones, Paul Watson, Salty Cracker etc. YOU have NOT done the above GOOD FAITH WORKS; so if your 1st comment words are not "THANK YOU", even if you disagree--as a matter of DECENCY--then THEY will be DELETED and if YOU persist with bad faith drivel [Did NOT ACTUALLY WATCH the video, did NOT READ IT'S DESCRIPTION] conjured up in mere seconds from your self phone, YOU will be BLOCKED. INJUSTICE is not tolerated here in light of myself spending 4x FUCKING DECADES of 24/7/365 unselfish, USMIL/Defense public service since 1981. I can't constantly walk around with a sandwich board of my resume to educate/remind those who don't actively THINK to prevent them from spouting off ignorance--nor should I have to: what we say is DETAILED, WELL-THOUGHT-OUT and backed by FACTS, EXPERIENCES and REASONING which should be 1-800-OBVIOUS standing on their own merits.

Sparky unfiltered. Personally I'm a big fan of his Indiana Jones x James Bond Cross over Fanfiction
Here's a sample of a recent one from his blogspot: https://jamesbondisreal.blogspot.com/
007 Indiana Jones: The Hunt for the Ancient Anti-Gravity Craft
Hotel Balcony at Night on a Full Moon
https://jamesbondisreal.blogspot.com/2021/05/007-indiana-jones-and-danger-of-lost.html
The Nephilim demons were scrambling all over the still smoking, gaping hole in the Moon caused by the mad industrialist Stevenson's nuclear missile strike...
Vesper was aghast. So was Marion.
"They really did it now!"
Bond was slowly pulling away from his telescope.
"We have a bunch of REALLY scared people wanting answers..."
"And fast"
Interjected Dr. Indiana "Indy" Jones.
Bond's cell phone rang. He already knew it was "M".
"Both of you report here at once. Bring that American bugger, too."
As Bond, Vesper, Marion and Indy drove to MI6-SIS HQ, people were already in the streets screaming "It's the end of the world!".
A man holding a sign, "REPENT NOW OR BURN IN HELL FOREVER" jumped onto Bond's hood causing him to stop.
Vesper started to lower her window electrically--Bond yelped:
"STOP!"
A stitch of gunfire created spider web fractures across the left side windows of his car--fortunately not going into the small opening crack Vesper made.
continued:
"Good thing you Limeys drive on the wrong side of the road, Bond!" quipped Indy.
Bond saw a trash dump truck head right towards them!
"This guy owns ALL of the road!"
Placing his gear lever into REVERSE, Bond darted temporarily ahead of the trash truck and fish-tailed a turn and switched into forward gears as another stitch of automatic weapons fire ruined his back windshield.
Now going faster and faster--well over 100 mph--a flying saucer zoomed overhead and to their front causing all their electronics to die...
Bond with Vesper and Indy with Marion in hand, opened both their doors and run to the nearest shop as an energy beam explodes their Aston-Martin DBS.
Now on board the flying saucer, Bond was startled to not see humans in military jumpsuits as one would expect from an Anti-Gravity Craft (AGC).
The evil grey beings hovered over the 3x of them strapped in medical exam tables.
A SIGMA male, Bond was not phased--Vesper--on the other hand was crying hysterically, "James save me!".
"Leave her alone you fucking bastards!"
The gray seemed to smirk at his fear not understanding LOVE.
Just as they produced a scalpel to begin mutilating her, Indy remembered his Bible school teaching...
It's weird how unlike the characters are to their actual versions. Also I read 007 lines in Sean Connerys voice, until the point the text mentions Aston Martin DB.

Welcome to the magic world of schizo conspiracies, now let me explain why eating potatoes turned you into an obedient slave that doesn't even remember the last nuclear war.
Seriously tough, till today i thought they were clueless boomers or grifters at worst, not top tier turbo schizos.

Get it right!

Man, I miss the Time Cube website.
It still exists!

I'd post the rest, but there's a 2000 character limit and the glory that is Time Cube's homepage is over 45,000 characters long.
Pierre Sprey was literally fucking retarded
Holy fucking hell, Sparky is on another fucking level. I always find it funny when people reference the books and Timothy & Titus from the Bible considering that those books are widely considered pseudo epistle works that were most likely written like a century after Paul lived
sprey had zero involvement in the design of absolutely no plane EVER.
What plane would President Yeezy design?
Some of the wacky Ace Combat planes.
I wonder how the USAF feels about other members of the A-10 design team
A true patriot
is that real
he also worked on the Space Shuttle
did a janny moron really prune these?
surprise that jannies can't even read and realize that anon was transcribing sparky's posts and ran off to prune shit like usual
The mods do that shit all the time, I made a joke about bullpups and barbiefag and some retard handed me a 1 month ban because they flunked reading comprehension.
