@Tsar Vladimir Putin did you draw this or did you use Shipboard?

Any police here ?

Why would rusia buy tech from us?

This is in a scenario where the US and Russia are allies.

Ah okay

That’s unlikely what the media says about rusia <:KEK:726877368601411624>

The latter

Bruh it's just a mk 38

Ah ok

In the scenario, it's before 2013 so relations are pretty normal

Ah okay

I'm gonna make an upgraded variant of the destroyer but after the annexation of Crimea

So without foreign stuff

But rn I'm working on a variant of the type 45 destroyer

Nice drawing any way:)

I think I'm going to make a modern version of an Iowa class.

@steven the angry deplorable🇺🇸🇺🇸 thanks

@Dr Badass PhD yo that would be awesome

Personally I would get rid of the back gun and add vertical launch cells

It would be. Just without the big guns

And add on a railgun turret

Oh yeah

Good idea

🙂

Or one of those new laser turrets

Disregard the CNN

The laser weapons could supplement or even replace the ciws currently in use

Save ammo

Those rounds ain’t cheap

And a laser has in theory unlimited ammunition and range.

I'm sure they're developing them to also fry electronics.

so long as you are generating power, the laser has infinite ammo

tho still current issue with them is fairly limited range, due to how light works

currently a few F-35's have been fitted with anti-missile lasers, with pretty good sucess

its honestly stuff like Lasers that make me think that ol traditional dogfighting will make a return, as missiles are more expensive than the load of cannon ammo + in a fight your most likely gonna lose your missile load tryna kill the target but the missile keeps gettin shot down

I think ramjet powered aams and laser weaponry could very well be the future of a2a combat

Though if we're going to go to the topic of scramjets they'll need weapons that are either experimental or flat out don't even exist yet.

What would happen if china and AMERICA go to war?

Who would win

My bet is the USA
