AIPAC is not the only lobby running around on the hill !
People need to know that.
No, it is just the most dangerous one.

They’re talking about the original ones Those were Block 10 or 15 and probably still sitting in the Arizona desert.
Those jets were finally refirbed and delt out to aggressor units here.
Stop whining about palestinian independence. The Hamas and hezbollah started it this time and they will get killed. This is like a nerd poking a bully in the eye and crying for his mommy when the bully beats the living daylights out of him.
Except on the playground, 10 times as many innocents nearby don’t get killed when the bully responds.

Replacing mechanical gyros with GPS and intertial guidance unit is vital for almost all missiles currently in development. IMI Delilah, Kh-31PA, RBS15. Hsiung Feng 2E, YJ-91, SY-2A. Not all of them will have AR versions integrated.
Except only we ( U.S. DOD ( USAF program management ) have control over the secure topology and secure anti-spoofing methods used in our military GPS. GPS being used on the battlefield, without holding the control of the secure layer topology, and matched encryption, is high risk. We can negate common GPS over the battlefield as we see fit and still be able to use our secure GPS as needed. This is also a major reason we discourage our forces using common, off the shelf GPS units for real world ops. 😉
A disaster for us. The average U.S. citizen has no say in foreign policy. Our policy is dominated by AIPAC and this next abomination….
These people are ruining our foreign policy, er…. what little we have left. Not very “christian” to bomb civilians endlessly, drop bridges, break major airport runways etc etc etc just over a few kidnapped soldiers. But this is our lot in life. Our foreign policy will be litterly written by the hand of the chosen people, with the backing of wacked christo-fundies.
Add this to the already dominating AIPAC and we are screwed.

Christian Group to Advocate More Support For Israel

We complain about the Chicoms and Russia giving a downcheck on the NK UN resolution yet we veto UN meassures helping out a country that kills 50 or more civilians in Lebanon and counting, just because a small border incident done by 4th generation warfare and not 2nd generation warfare. Dumb… dumb dumb. On any particular day if we aren’t ruining our image in the M.E. , Israel picks up the slack for us and makes us look even more stupid.

Lasers could be of some use in fighter v fighter during the merge and start of WVR, where the enemy head on to you is locked up and a laser is slewed to it and dazzles the cockpit with a light show good enough to do temporary blindness or even damage the eyes. This would be most likely a suprise that would work a few times until some kind of countermeasure could be developed. Effectively a mission kill at the merge.
Not unlike the one Navy P-3 crew member that suffered eye damage when a laser rangefinder from a naval vessel was pointed at him.
For one Raptor was not born in its best era. Cold War would have been much more suited.
Disagree.
– F-22 has no peer group. Legacy fighters vs. F-22 means a lot of dead legacy fighters. And not just from traditional fighter v fighter thinking. More from contempt of engagment and there won’t be anything much to stop JDAM 32/35 and SDBs from taking out critical targets the first night of a war. All with out a lot of resources ( extra ECM, SEAD/DEAD support etc and all the tanking and resouces to put those up ). And enemy integrated air defense network will get weeded out all without very many airframes killing off the hard threats to legacy fighter_cheap PGM carrying team mates of the F-22. ( Reason why JSF, for us, is a bad use of limited funds for other more important things. ). An air defense system with uber double digit SAMs and legacy fighters isn’t going to do much but eventually die. And…. in this case the F-22 does have a lot of team support: Decoy drones, ESM/ECM, SIGINT, COMINT, ELINT etc and numerous other players, cruise missiles etc. Overwelming an AD. All this on an ever more mature netcentric environ which means that targets of opportunity can die faster because of a shorter decision cycle in the kill chain.
– While the cold war is over, the idea of a post cold war “peace dividend” was stupid. The world is only more dangerous for different reasons ( many of our own doing ). In the case of USAF making up a force based on parity of weapon systems is not part of the plan. We don’t put together air plans with the goal of fighting fair or even close to fair. F-22 with JDAM and SDB the first few nights of a war, sustains that thinking into the future.
-F-22 will kill off most of the major threats in an integrated air defense so quick and create such a wedge, that JSF will be doing most of it’s work in the non-stealth mode in short order. 2 B-2s going into the wedge and dropping hundreds of JDAM and SDB in one throw of the dice has much more value that the Buick of Stealth JSF. Once the first dominating phase of an air plan is over; ( killing off fighters and large SAMs ), a stealth fighter isn’t needed much. Our legacy jets can kill off things from 30K + and not be touched.
Screwed up procurement program? Of course, but given all the lines of other messed up ones we have ( SH, V-22, JSF, Stryker etc ), we got lucky with F-22 because it will provide overwhelming value for years. Making the idea of most second generation warfare for an enemy, a complete no-win scenario. F-22, B-2 and new production legacy jets can do all this. It is JSF that will be the unwise spending for us, considering all the other war winning things that this $276 + Billion dollar bleeding ulcer will take away funds from: Tankers, E-10, J-UCAS, faster C-5B upgrades, faster/better C-130 roadmap, and numerous other non-sexy base support and people programs that most aviation amateurs have no clue about that keep everything running.

Wow. Pretty good GWOT. Russia says they are going after something and the threat dies.
We say we are going after Osama, and he is left alive as a boogy man that is always out there in the shadows. Our GWOT funding recipients need Osama alive, not dead, so they continue to get more funding.

This is all great news. For the military industrial complex which runs the show here. This is like free advertising saying Japan needs to buy ( cobble together under license build ) any number of new U.S. weapons systems.
