The B61-12 gravity nuclear bomb

The airplane-dropped nuke from the sixties got a service life extension, and a laser guidance system, for thermonuclear strikes with SURGICAL PRECISION.

Presumably on countries with no anti-aircraft capabilities.

>The bomb tests are a part of the Pentagon's $7.6 billion 'B61-12 Life Extension Program', which aims to “refurbish, reuse, or replace all of the bomb’s nuclear and non‐nuclear components” and extend the service life of the B61 by at least 20 years.

>Besides deploying B61-12 on modern and future long range bombers, the Pentagon is making sure the bomb can be easily used by F-15E fighter jets, and wants to integrate it with the F-35 Lightning II fifth generation combat jets, raising concerns it is creeping towards lowering the threshold for tactical use of nuclear weapons.

Taking out extremely hardened targets. Nuclear weapons are not magical "erase everything" devices; they're completely normal explosives (that also produce radiation) in the sense that they obey the laws of physics. It's just that the power of the explosion is so much greater than normal explosives that we tend to categorize them differently mentally. While a soft target like a city may not require pinpoint precision, something like a command and control bunker buried in the side of a mountain could.

This deficiency is a perfect example of why planet busters are necessary. Nothing says "fuck you" like sucking a major portion of the enemy's home continent into a singularity.

They're really quite fun, but if you use them every AI nation in the game declares war on you no matter what. So you only end up using them if they're your last chance, or if you can take on the rest of the planet and are just using the PB for shits and giggles. Most of LAN games I've played of AC end up with 2-3 of the more successful players stockpiling them in an arms race, completely ending any hope of a military victory - which provides a very fun example of why Mutually Assured Destruction works.

Yeah but B-61 are thinner (diameter) than mk-84 but I think they're longer (all measurement on the interweb are useless, they're way too short so it's probably the bomb itself, mk-61 in fact, without it's tail assembly), maybe not by much but Murphy's law dictate it will be enough.

I saw the documents and I'm going to reveal the reason for this. Don't worry, the government can't get me because I'm behind seven proxies.

The missile didn't knoww where it was at the time. It didn't know this because it didn't know where it wasn't. By subtracting where it thought it was from where it wasn't, or where it wasn't, from where it was, whichever is greater, it obtained an incorrect difference, or deviation. The guidance sub-system used deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it thought it was, to a position where it thought it wasn't, and arriving at a position where it thought it wasn't, it headed toward the US.

IIRC the first US attempt at a radar guided SPAAG ended when it was demonstrated infront of a crowd and almost ED-209'd them.

Here we go:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M247_Sergeant_York

>In February 1982 the prototype was demonstrated for a group of US and British officers at Fort Bliss, along with members of Congress and other VIPs. When the computer was activated, it immediately started aiming the guns at the review stands, causing several minor injuries as members of the group jumped for cover. Technicians worked on the problem, and the system was restarted. This time it started shooting towards the target, but fired into the ground 300 m in front of the tank. In spite of several attempts to get it working properly, the vehicle never successfully engaged the sample targets. A Ford manager claimed that the problems were due to the vehicle being washed for the demonstration and fouling the electronics.[18] In a report on the test, Easterbrook jokingly wondered if it ever rained in central Europe.

>As early production examples started rolling off the production line, the problems proved to be just as serious. One of the early models is reported to have locked onto a latrine fan, mistaking its return for a moving target of low-priority. Reporting on the incident in another article on the vehicle's woes, Easterbrook reported that "During a test one DIVAD locked on to a latrine fan. Michael Duffy, a reporter for the industry publication Defense Week, who broke this aspect of the story, received a conference call in which Ford officials asked him to describe the target as a 'building fan' or 'exhaust fan' instead."

>The results were abysmal. Unable to hit drones moving even in a straight line, the tests were later relaxed to hovering ones. The radar proved unable to lock even to this target, as the return was too small. The testers then started adding radar reflectors to the drone to address this "problem", eventually having to add four. Easterbrook, still covering the ongoing debacle, described this as being similar to demonstrating the abilities of a bloodhound by having it find a man standing alone in the middle of an empty parking lot, covered with steaks.[22] The system now tracked the drone, and after firing a lengthy burst of shells the drone was knocked off target. As it flew out of control, the range safety officer had it destroyed by remote control. This was interpreted by the press as an attempt to "fake" the results, describing it as "sophomoric deceits".[23] From that point on, every test success was written off as faked.

Ok it's not from the 70's it's part of the last big upgrade package they got in the early 80's and the reason why they added contact fuze to the warheads.

The design is meant to keep the missiles being the least expensive component (like on it's successor SA-15) because it's supposed to shoot a lot of them (mainly because you need at least two shots to have a decent kill probability but it can do it, SA-15 is of course much better at it).

And that it did pretty much squat, when 1/3 was enough to completely neutralize Iraq much bigger ADA net, despite the ADA systems fielded being exactly the same (Iraq might have had better version even)?

Getting almost three times more HARMs fired at them is interesting for two reasons:

1. Serbs had 1/10th the air defenses of Iraq

2. After the SEAD campaign was complete, DTIC assesed their air defenses as functional

By the way it wasn't just HARM, it was other ordinance as well.

Didn't read this, sorry. The entire point of the SEAD campaign on Yugoslavia was as preparation for an invasion and occupation by NATO troops. The fact that the airspace was judged too dangerous for an invasion suggests the statement that it "kept their air defenses down" is actually wrong. They just didn't waste the twenty or so good rockets they had on fighter jets or bombers, Serbs were waiting for those big juicy troop transports.

Which meant NATO couldn't send ground troops without full air support since it's something NATO doesn't even know how to do anymore.

Which is why NATO after nearly two month of bombing the serbian army (and missing the serbian army) decided to return to it's favorite tactic, strategic bombing and EXCLUSIVELY TARGET CIVILIANS, until the Serbs had enough and asked for a ceasefire or be exterminated.

Also, your recounting is complete bullshit.

NATO never planned a ground invasion, because they would have gotten their asses raped by a highly experienced white army in that sort of terrain and on its own turf. The plan was to instead terrorize Serbia from the air to get them to the negotiation table, which in the end worked because Serbia didn't want to lose all their infrastructure and be bombed back into a third world state, so they rather gave up Kosovo than all of Serbia.

The Serbian AD network worked fine especially because they knew when to emit signals and when not, which made it impossible for NATO to ever fully destroy it and prevented the air forces from effectively engaging the Serbian army forces dispersed and camouflaged in the terrain. Also, if you believe that all the Apache losses "before" and during the outbreak of hostilities were all the "training accidents", as was claimed, you are very very gullible. These choppers flew recon missions and got owned by SHORAD, mostly IR manpads, because unlike Iraq, Serbia / Kosovo is not flat desert terrain where you have a clear view on targets from 10 miles away. Instead, Serbian Chad will wait for you with an SA-18 at the next clearing behind the hill you just passed.

>Kosovo War

It's called the Yugoslav civil war and it started in early 1990s and lasted until early 2000s. Quit trying to limit it to Kosovo, more than half of the bombs dropped were on civilian areas in areas that had nothing to do with fighting.

Pic related, area where Serbian army was fighting Albanian terrorists, and the entire rest of the country where bombs were dropped where there wasn't any Serbian amy. And this doesn't even show the areas in Bosnia for a decade prior to this.

>NATO never planned a ground invasion

It was in the initial plan when Clinton made that dumb "muh 6 gorrilion muslim babbies" claim, this was always on the table and a massive ground force was kept ready in Italy until the last moment when ceasefire was signed. Only France was against it the zogbots in French government wanted to nuke Serbia instead because "fighting them would be too hard".

Sucks, but that's sort of how war works. There will never be a bloodless war, nor will there be a war without civilian casualties. Faggots like you create Vietnams because you're too pansy-assed to actually go all out, instead opting to fight a half-assed "semi war" because you're worried that if you fight a bit too hard you'll accidentally kill a few kids here and there.

To be fair the Siege of Sarajevo was muslim fault, they started the war in Sarajevo by killing Serbs and just provoking for violent reaction from the Serbian side, when that failed they outright started killing people and then started sieging the military barracks that had Serbian soldiers inside.

Here is how it went down:

>Muslims stop civilian traffic (cars,buses etc) in a street

>move in the artillery in that street

>fire 8-10 shells into Serbian barracks

>move the artillery back

>continue with the civilian traffic

>Serbs normally respond and shell the place where the attack came from

>civilians die and muslims cry to western MSM that Serbs are just randomly killing civilians for no reason

After Serbs figured this out they shelled the storehouses where the muslims hid the artillery and other shit, after that muslims started full-scale urban warfare where they hid in civilian apartments and were shooting on civilians ISIS style.

Also to point out that the muslim plan of doing the stop traffic > pull artillery > move artillery back came from British MI6 because they tricked them into doing it so they could justify the military action into the region to end the war. (War ended 3 years later and thats because USA did it not Brits, Brits were enjoying selling weapons to both sides)

This kind of logic is extremely stupid, it's on the level of comparing jarts to a Mk.82 because both utilized gravity as a function. We categorized them differently than "normal" explosives because they use matter itself in a physical reaction and they do not strictly adhere to the laws of physics.

>While a soft target like a city may not require pinpoint precision, something like a command and control bunker buried in the side of a mountain could.

Which doesn't require the use of a nuke, a GBU-57 would provide a greater level of destruction. What the Mk.12 upgrade provides is a steerable, air-dropped nuclear device for employment as a more precise dual-use weapon for counter-force and counter-value attack options.

We got what we came for in Korea; we kept the South independent. In fact, South Korea gained territory. It's just that MacArthur ran his mouth about it being his goal to reunify the peninsula and the media repeated that ad nauseum so that the general public got the idea that that's why we were there. By the end of the war the North Korean military was nonexistent and the Chinese had been held off. We were even slowly gaining ground. But actually pushing the Chinese out of Korea would have probably taken years; maybe even a decade, and would have involved hundreds of thousands more American casualties at least, and there was no public support for that less than a decade after WW2 ended.

It is always an outflow of politics. So, what was the politics at play there, at least ostensibly? For the US, it was curtailing further propagation of communism. How to achieve that goal? Actually, best shot would have been just through propaganda, infiltration and possibly clandestine direct action. Doing it by dropping bombs when the propagation of communism means that in every other village, every other man's brother, son or father has turned communist isn't a very fucking bright idea.

But OK, you want to drop bombs? Fine. Then drop them on the North, and do it to prepare a ground invasion of the North, because the communism is spreading from there and you'll have to have muh regime change there if you want it to stop. Can't do that because the Soviets will then nuke the US? Well, too fucking bad. So what else then? If you still want to drop bombs, you'll really have to drop them on the already infiltrated villages then, which means you will likewise burn all the other people you originally wanted to save from communism. Damn. Yeah, looks like dropping bombs really wasn't the best course of action there then. And that's why Vietnam was a shitshow: Because it happened at all. Bombs were the wrong tool for the job, because there was no clear military objective to reach the political goal, since the proper military objective for that would have been the occupation of the North by US forces, which would have probably meant WWIII. So they couldn't do that, and it turns out that you can't convert people by just dropping bombs on them, and especially can't save people that way, either.

But then you have idiots ITT that wanted to drop more bombs. Yeah. You dropped plenty bombs, dumbasses, and it achieved exactly zilch.

Then you are at least doing *something* constructive with your day. Provided you are not as retarded doing it there as you are doing it here.

But btw., why are you running psyops on the commies over there instead of just physically bombing every commie you know in your personal life? I thought killing commies was the best way to fight communism?

>Excuses, excuses

Nah, see? Because just killing commies is not neccessarily or automatically the best course of action. If you would go now and kill 2 or 3 commies in your vicinity, you will most probably get caught in the end. Result? 2-3 commies dead, you disabled as an asset for the cause, and, most probably, strengthen resolve in - oh, I don't know - literally a few million commies around the world + providing the commie / kike media with all the propaganda they need, and more ammo for the gun grabbers.

See, that is because reality doesn't function like in your tough guy 14 year old faggot fantasy world. 3 dead commies against all of the negatives cited above. Violence is a tool like any other tool, and it has to be applied in a way that it makes sense, just like any other tool. Randomly killing commies in your neighbourhood, in our current situation, is not going to stop communism, just like randomly dropping napalm on villages in the jungle of SE Asia didn't stop it from spreading there.

War is the continuation of politics by other means. Von Clausewitz didn't say that because he was trying to come across as an edgelord, instead, it was simply an OBSERVATION, an ASSESSMENT, and an accurate one. War is always the result of a political will (in other cases, it is just blind, rampant violence, like niggers do it when they chimp out), so, if it is meant to be successfull, a strategy has to be developed that aims to achieve the political will.

My whole point was that in Vietnam, no such strategy existed, because the only proper one (occupation of at least North Vietnam - better, even, the Soviet Union), was unfeasable because of the nuclear threat / Cold War. So, applying conventional military measures was doomed to fail from the start. What the US, and more specifically, the US Air Force, did, was running operations without an overarching strategy.

There are three layers to warfare: The strategic layer (how do we impress our political aims on the enemy), the operational layer (how do we execute / implement the strategy through actual actions) and tactical (how do we achieve the objective in each operation, on the battlefield, in air combat, in air to surface combat, in electronic warfare etc). If you do not have a sound strategy to implement the political will to begin with, all you are doing is just propping the arms industry in an endless war. See also the "The War on Terror" for that.

FTFY.

>This conviction, that the politicians had used him and the U.S. Army for a criminal purpose, grew in the following weeks. During a dinner with French General Alphonse Juin in August, Patton was surprised to find the Frenchman in agreement with him. His diary entry for August 18 quotes Gen. Juin: "It is indeed unfortunate, mon General, that the English and the Americans have destroyed in Europe the only sound country – and I do not mean France. Therefore, the road is now open for the advent of Russian communism."

>Later diary entries and letters to his wife reiterate this same conclusion. On August 31 he wrote: "Actually, the Germans are the only decent people left in Europe. it's a choice between them and the Russians. I prefer the Germans." And on September 2: "What we are doing is to destroy the only semi-modern state in Europe, so that Russia can swallow the whole."

>"There is a very apparent Semitic influence in the press. They are trying to do two things: first, implement communism, and second, see that all businessmen of German ancestry and non-Jewish antecedents are thrown out of their jobs.

On a sidenote:

The United States of North America seems to have lost the ability to build new nuclear weapons to know-how regression:

https://blog.jim.com/war/technological-decline-3/

https://media.defense.gov/2018/Feb/02/2001872886/-1/-1/1/2018-NUCLEAR-POSTURE-REVIEW-FINAL-REPORT.PDF

>The 2018 Nuclear Posture Review has recently appeared, revealing that we have lost all nuclear military technology:

>U.S. production of tritium, a critical strategic material for nuclear weapons, is now insufficient to meet the forthcoming U.S. nuclear force sustainment demands, or to hedge against unforeseen developments. Programs are planned, but not yet fully funded, to ease these critical production shortfalls.

>Recent attempts to produce tritium were fully funded, but failed, which failure resulted in new plans for new attempts to produce tritium, which have not yet been fully funded.

>The U.S. is also unable to produce or process a number of other critical materials, including lithium and enriched uranium. For instance, the United States largely relies on dismantling retired warheads to recover lithium to sustain and produce deployable warheads. This may be inadequate to support the nuclear force replacement program and any supplements to it.

>Existing nuclear weapons have not received maintenance for a very long time, and it is unclear whether there is anyone with the relevant skills to perform maintenance and adequately test them for readiness.

>Attempts to build new nuclear reactors in the US keep running into indefinite delays. To make significant amounts of plutonium 239 will need new reactors.

>Plutonium 239 is the stuff used in nuclear weapons, plutonium 238 the stuff used in nuclear batteries, plutonium 240 is the stuff you don’t want because it spontaneously fissions. You want to produce your plutonium using enriched uranium in a sodium cooled fast neutron reactor because then you get considerably more of the plutonium you want, and considerably less of the plutonium you do not want. The US used to build fast neutron reactors, but all recent attempts to build a fast neutron reactor in the west have failed, and all existing fast neutron reactors in the West have stopped working. The only existing fast neutron reactors that are working well enough to produce significant amounts of plutonium are in Russia and China.

Your infographic conflicts with a lot of others.

A lot of them go by per-capita, but being that Russia has half our population, they should be way ahead in those bar graphs.

Put them in a faraday caged room with no windows and nobody to cheat off of and see how well they do. It's well known that these people can't engineer their way out a paper bag. I don't have the webms but there's the famous one of the pedestrian bridge over a street with exposed fucking power lines going through the stairs, the apartment blocks that fall over because they try to build an underground garage when the structure is already built, etc etc.

If we dropped a bomb on Three Gorges instead of waiting for them to run out of food again we'd reset the cycle and not have to deal with chinks for at least a few hundred years.

I don't know if I'd tempt nuclear war with China, but you do have a good point about the quality of engineering. I've never anything 'made in China' that looked like they gave a fuck about stacking tolerances. Meanwhile, my 50-year old folding buck knife is as precisely made as my custom EGW 45, despite not really even needing to be that finely crafted.

Dropping the dam would flood 2/3rds of the country IIRC, I may be wrong though. There's an ant mound outside in the yard, I'm going to do some wargaming here and run the garden hose on it for a few minutes. When the expirement is concluded I'll look at the data and post the results here.

Ask yourself how much of "STEM" is strategically relevant to military industry and engineering.

Hint: basement-dwelling algebra fetishist academics are not.

Especially so considering a good half of the "STEM graduates" are diversity representatives graduating by the quota.

As an "algebra fetishist" I let you know I do not live in a basement I have my own room, okay? and I am not an academic they kicked me out and I am self-employed as an unpaid freelance professional Mongolian novella reader and Chinese tapestry viewer.

The dynamical systems lot, though, are actually relevant to military (aircraft, aerodynamics or some such slap), or so they keep telling you. That unruly mob, the whole 'applied mayhematics' bunch, are held beneath contempt by both the pure mathematicians and engineers.
