Now what’s more likely is a China-Russia lunar program

That’s far more dangerous

They still lag behind, awaiting US innovation to utilize. They have repeatedly shown how they have struggled with aerospace

At least they finally have the ARJ21 in service

Exactly, they have repeatedly shown human life has no value other than CCP officials. They are going to end up having a greater bark than their bite. Their lack of technological innovation in aerospace leaves me not overly concerned of a CCP lunar program which is superior to Artemis

Unfortunately the US has boxes itself in with reliance on satellites. The space force is now gaining additional capability with the X-37B

Yup X-37 is dope

As long as innovation stays at its current rate, the space force should attain a satisfactory level of deterrence for any Chinese action

Keep in mind the anti satellite capability demonstrated by the F-15A with the AM-135 in 1984. The US does need to ramp up its anti satellite capability but there is going to be a level of confidentiality in which I doubt the public will be aware for potentially a decade after new programs are implemented. I am going to snooze now but nice chatting

I thought the AM-135 was experimental

They just fired it once

Okay gotcha, gn

i think people need to realize that the chinese arent as peaceful as they want us to think

For sure

Definatley

Idk man they're scary

like no offence to the everyday chinese citizen but

yeah they are their government is

The AM-135 could easily be replaced by a ramjet powered weapon

It'll cost a pretty penny though

yeah. they dont know how to think for theirselves, they are used to being told what to do or as you said,, "dissapearing"

China is EXCELLENT at taking everyone's technology replicating it and mass producing it. And it's usually far worse than the thing they're knocking off.

Eh hem more like barely executes basic function of what they're knocking off of

yes so true

we used to joke that everything, like EVERYTHING, there was made of plastic

Seems legit

wasnt there an indian military exercise this week

and an american AC took part

As in the AC-130?

aircraft carrier

Oh

ye

was pretty interesting

i just learned about it like 10 minutes ago

the nimitz

I haven't seen the Nimitz but I have seen two of her sister ships

The Nimitz is the flagship of the US Navy I think

maybe

i'm not exactly informed on aircraft carriers but i'd assume so

i've never seen an aircraft carrier

during fleet week one of the zumwalts always comes
