/k/ - Weapons

*manufacturing, not manufacturers

I would declare war on Israel and execute every jew in the country. That alone will get rid of all the trash bloating the industry and economy

Nationalize the defense industry. There should be no profit motive to national defense.

>It seems really simple that the military would produce a design for a weapon and take bids for producing said weapon.

This leaves you with the problem that when something goes wrong like it always does, the people who should be raising the alarms are frequently engaging in careerist ass-covering instead. Look up the story of the Mark 14 torpedo.

>>666807

Except that your Ordnance Department was a complete shitshow. They failed to prepare for ww1, even though the conflict raged on for years before the first US troops entered Europe; they kept the BAR for ww2 without any upgrades; and one man's faggotry was enough to adopt a slightly shortened .30-06, and even force it on NATO, even though they had nearly endless stockpiles of .30-06 laying around.

>>666803

It isn't possible to fix it anymore because the country is literally all niggers at this point. Normal points of contention for reform aren't remotely applicable because the country isn't capable of implementing any of it nor is it capable of business as usual.

Scrap the F-35.

Revive ASF-14 for the Navy.

Blend F-15X, F-15SE and F-15SMT.

Blend F-16V with YF-16 CCV, HiMAT, F-16 VISTA and maybe F-16 SFW, revive the F-16XL. Put F-22 back to production and revive FB-22. Lockheeb must do these for free.

Revive variable cycle turbofan technology and try to advance it to ramjet-hybrid level if possible, as claimed by GE.

Revive the YF-23.

Make a 6th-gen fighter based on the X-36.

Revive B-1R.

Buy production license for Su-35, MiG-35/29K and Rafale and make better domestic versions.

Buy production license for R-73 and make better domestic version using whatever technology there was developed for the AIM-9X.

Buy production license for the latest S-300 variant they will spare and make a better S-400 out of it.

Convert the oldest airworthy Stratofortress frames into QB-52 suicide bombers.

Thrust vectoring and sidewinders for air defense are now obligatory for all combat aircraft. Also rear-guns for larger aircraft.

All capital ships, especially supercarriers, are now obliged to be at least minimally self-reliable for their defense against aircraft and smaller vessels.

Call in every C-level executive of every current military contractor, then execute them all for treason.

Proceed to hire new guys and tell them that they shouldn't try to treat the state as as their personal bottomless wallet unless they want to end up like their forebears.

Then start to focus on ruggedness and cheap/quick to produce stuff instead of the most high-tech stuff, because that's also good enough to kill hadjis and can actually win a war against a near-equal opponent instead of being unable to replace losses after the first week of fighting.

>>666803

Just stop funding research and instead say "we won't buy your shit unless its good", let Lockeeb fund their own damn R&D. We don't even really need much of a military anyways as long as we have operational nukes, almost all of our funding should be directed towards space and missile defense. The only purpose that a standing army serves is protecting Israel through regime change wars, which we obviously do not need or benefit from. You can't take over the US without nukes because everyone here has guns, and you can't take over the US with nukes because we will just nuke you back.

I used to work for a company that bought a lot of shit from state industry in china and lots of times you could ask for absolutely stupid tier deals and they'd agree because the guys selling and making shit had no idea what it cost to make or sell.

>>666822

this is hyperbole but not all wrong. Look at California cancelling its hugely expensive high speed rail. This country is (due to institutional rot, de-industrialization, and browning and it's associated corruption) literally incapable of large industrial projects.

>>666803

Break up Lockheeb, General Dynamics and maybe Boeing for good measure.

Stop enabling kitchen-sink projects like the JSF where additional roles and features are added mid-development with no regard for whether the project can still perform its initial function. If the designers think they can adapt it to a new role then let them run with it, but the new variant must be broken off into its own project so the two variants don't drag each other down with incompatible or superfluous requirements (so the land-based JSF doesn't have to worry about the CATOBAR model's size limits and structural requirements, the CATOBAR model doesn't have to worry about the VTOL model's weight limits and the VTOL model doesn't have to worry about the other models' supercruise and stealth requirements). This actually saves R&D costs in some cases, because much of the Joint Shekel Finder's development problems were from trying to fit an increasingly long list of features into the already-overloaded VTOL airframe.

Stop authorizing projects like the LCS that have no clearly-defined role. In my hunt to figure out what the actual purpose of the LCS was supposed to be, I discovered that the USN literally just ordered them for no reason (aside from the (((usual reasons))), of course) and then invented a need for them years later to justify the investment:

>The Navy committed to the $15 billion (2003) program in advance of rigorous analysis or clearly defined purpose, appearance, or survivability.

The designers clearly knew they wanted some kind of patrol boat, but they couldn't seem to agree on what kind. The specification alternates between a relatively large and capable blue-water ASW corvette, a small and fast green-water gunboat or a multipurpose patrol ship with mine warfare capabilities, and somewhere along the line they threw in a requirement for amphibious warfare capabilities because it replaced a LHD in the budget. But because they never actually decided on a role, the result is this total clusterfuck of a ship that isn't good at any of these roles.

Along the same lines, stop waiting until all of our actually important equipment is 50 years old and literally falling apart before developing a replacement. This is a problem that affects every branch, but the USN are the ones feeling it the worst: we retired all our heavy ASMs twenty years ago, are just now adopting a stopgap replacement that barely improves on its predecessor, and haven't even drawn up the requirements for an actual successor yet. Our frigate fleet is the same story, our last FFG was scrapped in 2015 but we didn't start searching for a replacement until 2017 and won't actually order any until 2020.

Place strict limits on all future warships to counteract the size and mission creep that's been plaguing all our surface combatants since the 70s, and redesignate the Zumwalts as cruisers while we're at it. Arleigh Burkes get to stay because we can't afford to replace them in the escort role just yet and it would be silly to have a fleet of nothing but cruisers.

>>666871

No, that was the exact opposite of the winning strategy. The USSR had the advantage in a nuclear exchange for most of the Cold War, but we could take the economic hit from a few Koreas and Vietnams a lot better than the Soviets could.

>>666803

>how would you fix the US military's r&d woes?

Fuck the jews.

Fuck liberals.

Fuck darkies.

Colonial bloodline only R&D.

US only industry.

>>666845

>no actual national defense firm

>not arresting and executing everyone involved with Lockheeb and other kikes

>>666895

>implying pragmatism isnt progress

>>666897

I suppose I should have done (((progress))).

1. End lobbying.

2. Provide full public detailed analysis and live-streamed testing of weapons to the public.

3. Any pattern to be included into the US military arsenal is to be void of copyright and becomes public property (thus any mom and pop shop can make said guns/arsenal).

In the following order:

Improve bureaucratic efficiency.

Enforce streamlined RnD/manufacturing.

Decrease budgets according to project importance, priority, and proven capability.

Increase order count with the funds saved from prior steps.

This would hinder feature-creeping, improve development pace, and incentivize contractors with larger orders.

>>666919

Cont. I would also improve the amount of servicemen feedback, and creat a program to randomly select servicemen with past deployment experience who are not under orders (not busy) to general test RnD equipment.

>>666803

Offer a different sort of contract. Instead of pouring more and more money in, I'd say

>"Make me a new weapon that can do this and this and this and has these and these parametres. If you are given the contract, you will earn 1 billion USD. No further funds will ever be given, ever. You have three years to deliver the final product. For every month of delay past the deadline, you will be fined for $10 million."

A company that would accept the contract would then either deliver what I want for the price I set, or keep forking out more and more money until it either delivered the product or went bankrupt, likely paying me back the whole amount in the process.

>Make a nationalized defense R&D group.

>Scrap current bullshit projects.

>>666975

>Maybe exclude CAS craft like the A-10 or planes that are already STOL capable

A-10 already has Sidewinders and there's no harm in further improving its STOL and instantaneous turn rate, especially when there's no reason to be arsed at all with its sustained turn rate.

>upgraded F-15s with canards and IRST would be more than capable of dealing with upgraded Su-27s.

More than capable yes, but still somewhat inferior, also asymmetric training. Agreed though that the F-15 would Su-27 redundant, as would Rafale and MiG-29K make F-18 family redundant.

>>666803

>If you were elected president(or appointed secretary of defense), how would you fix the US military's r&d woes?

maybe you are asking the wrong question.

Why does the USA spend 3X on military as next 3 nations COMBINED but we can't stop an invasion on our own border in wide open desert?

Like Public Schools, the excess money is what is giving bad results. PS are now a target for scammers selling garbage, due to all the money flying around without any Adult Supervision.

Public Schools and Military have been Jew magnets for over 100yrs.

>>667033

I doubt Russians would want the US to purchase Flankers just for training purposes.

Besides, the F-15S should only be a long-term stopgap measure until the F-36 and other 5th gen planes enter service assuming there is that much of a need for 5th gen stealth shit in the future.

As for the A-10, adding TV nozzles to its engines might be more of a hassle than it's worth, especially if they end up making the engines less resistant to damage.

>>667133

>The US had a larger amount of nukes for the first half of the Cold War though.

Yes but you need to factor in the vectors, most US nukes were gravity bombs, most Soviet nukes were missiles warheads.

Even back then everyone doubted the capacities of the SAC to actually manage to hit targets inside the USSR with B-36, B-47 and early B-52s especially after the soviets shot down a U-2 despite being much smaller and flying about twice as high (doubts were confirmed when they dumped their obsolete SA-2 in Vietnam and those were still capable to hit heavily modded B-52G that had been modded for them…).

So the US efforts concentrated on putting as much warheads on missiles as possible from the late 60's, while keeping the gravity bombs to a core minimum… the same core minimum as today except they phased out almost all the missiles (and that's only because subs can't fly, sadly).

Retard price signals are for individual active agents who earned the money they're spending.

Imagine if your wife was friends with the shopping mall owner. Your wife gets him to beat you up and steal your credit card, so she could shop at the mall. She then empties the card on overpriced goods the mall owner provides, because it's not her money and she doesn't care about fucking price signals.

>>667206

>It worked for the Colonies

> Both state and Continental currency depreciated rapidly, becoming practically worthless by the end of the war. This depreciation was caused by the government printing large amounts of currency in order to meet the demands of war.

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

That's why the gold and silver standard was established in the United States.

>>667369

Ideally it's to prevent the government being ripped off by private banks or the government printing money without any backing but the government is retarded and the central bank becomes a pawn of the Rothschilds anyway.

>>667384

There is too much needless complexity in this relationship.

Provided the state is the husband and the bank the wife, the husband does not borrow money from the wife, he takes from her, and the wife doesn't give him interests either.

The fact the state does not have authority on currency is why we are so much cucked nowadays.

And lo, even the goddamn communists have this system of state borrowing money from banks.

>>666803

The M2 Bradley was supposed to be a general replacement for the Gavin, a generalist design that could be adapted to for whatever you wanted.

A bunch of fucknuts destroyed this, and were never taken to task for it, similar to how they were never taken to task, and I mean horse whipped in public, over the stupidity of the M-16.

The entire point, was to procure mass replacement of a simple boxy battle taxi, AS A BASE MODEL. From which you could customized however you liked. Instead, a bunch of fuck nuggets rammed in a semi-specialized design that was built entirely around fighting other IFVs and carrying heavy Anti-Tank weaponry with a small amount of infantry for support. Then they made another model that was even more specialized.

But because there was no small, simple base model with decent internal capacity, they couldn't replace all the Baby Boxy Gavins. So the procurement program was a total fucking failure.

The F-35 isn't nearly such a failure, although it is orders of magnitudes more expensive, it at least performs the role it was acquired for in the first place.

If you wanted the F-35 to be better, all that had to be done was drop the A and the B, and acquire the navalized C variant for everybody. And set the Harriers on fire. We would have had the F-35's five years earlier and under half the budget costs.

>>667135

For any level of anti-material work that isn't good enough foor, .50 cal or explosives

>>667386

The interest is because additional money is supposed to flow into the system from outside the country if it's working right.

If the state is supposed to be the husband Congress certainly doesn't act like one, which is why it's a bitch for the banks.

>>667389

>Still, I fail to see the need for any new fighter

Everything but the Super Hornets are falling out of the sky due to metal fatigue and other general wear and tear. The cheap, and smart, option would be filling out the ranks with Super Hornets, but its too late for that now. F35 is in production, and we have that stealth drone thing that exists now.

>>667389

>Bradley is okay as infantry support vehicle for low intensity conflict tbh.

>infantry support vehicle for low intensity conflict

Considering a pickup truck with a bed-mounted DShK works as a ISV over there, I think that's a pretty low bar to only clear with "okay".

>>667392

Any part that is wear and tear can be replaced.

The idea of wasting billions to "research" then billions more to make new air frames is a joke compared to just repair the existing ones.

>>667391

It makes no sense regardless.

If the state and bank are one, it would feel additional money regardless if there is a separation or not.

>If the state is supposed to be the husband Congress certainly doesn't act like one, which is why it's a bitch for the banks.

Hence the problem.

>>667394

>repair the existing ones.

Not going to work with planes like the F-22 whose production lines were shut down.

>>667393

Well, Bradly can effectively fight unorganized tanks.

>>667394

With the airframe itself you can't really repair that. The moment it has stress fractures its garbage.

>>667396

>>667400

That ain't happening. Lockheeb destroyed all the tooling for the F-22.

>>667402

let's do the magick of remaking the toolings then.

I think they are doing this in order to give all reasons to waste billions of "new" fighter jets.

And what's the actual role of the F-35, btw?

If they want to bomb, why not just mass predator drones?

Don't tell me they actually believe dog fighting is still a thing.

Barter on an international level is superior. Trade agreements are not dollar amounts but materials.

Apply insane import tariffs to anything but raw materials.

Apply insane export tariffs to anything but finished product.

You give your competitors the ability to spend the money you give them in ways which harm you when you trade in money internationally.

Japan probably has the best approach on the issue. In that aspect scrapping the YF-23 and hybrid high-performance variable cycle jet engines like the F120 were the biggest mistakes.

I think the best thing to do would be to use my presidential powers to remove restrictions on weapon sales. this would allow the US populace to provide a competitive weapons market. no one would challenge the US military, but access to restricted arms would stimulate the arms business leading to more R&D.

step two would be let relevant equipment be ordered and maintained by the units. for example the general gets to out line the platform the commanders get to work off of, but the commanders get to make the actual purchase of said platforms.

this would be a dynamic purchasing system. this would allow both flexibility units need, but retain replaceable parts and prevent block purchasing and favoritism based on purely political reasoning.

I would also increase the cyber-warfare and space warfare budget and reduce the army, air-force, and state militia subsidization.

basically the purchase of a product would scale based on operation strategic and tactical intent.

as an example camo is a strategic and tactical factor so only officers can approve its implementation, but they do so as separate functions and are not forced to accept one standard pattern or one standard uniform across the entire branch, but upper command gets to dictate what uniforms styles can be chosen from.
