@CoconutGamerMNK @durandalcomplex@gamerweb13@scottynukeop@pringle23937438@Will_W_Welker That's not a problem for drones because they're not hard cased and their plastic components, compared to the metal ATA missiles in the example, the radiation congregates on the metal circuits like a fork in a microwave.
@CoconutGamerMNK @durandalcomplex@gamerweb13@scottynukeop@pringle23937438@Will_W_Welker That doesn't mean it's impossible or unlikely, it simply just means that they're not sure what it would take because they don't have enough information about the MGS and it's ability to sustain damage without being directly targeted, like my the laser mentioned.
@CoconutGamerMNK @durandalcomplex@gamerweb13@scottynukeop@pringle23937438@Will_W_Welker Again, you're outright failing to understand that the F-35's BVR capabilities means that it's going to fly into the engagement zone, get it's shots off, and RTB before it gets within 50 miles of the drones.
Also microwave radiation ionization is great at frying drone circuits?
@CoconutGamerMNK @durandalcomplex@gamerweb13@scottynukeop@pringle23937438@Will_W_Welker What you also fail to realize is that the US has drone specific weapons that aren't instant-foamed into plastic housings and actually function, unlike the Russians.
Signal blockers, directed microwave radiation systems, you name it.
There is no drone counter to modern jets.
@CoconutGamerMNK @durandalcomplex@gamerweb13@scottynukeop@pringle23937438@Will_W_Welker You're right, the F-35's BVR capabilities means that they are going to get shots on target far before any potential drone threat can reach them.
The BVR capabilities all but make a drone counter effort useless.
@CoconutGamerMNK @durandalcomplex@gamerweb13@scottynukeop@pringle23937438@Will_W_Welker And you'll be introduced to the Phalanx, which you may have more often heard of the naval variant CIWS, that makes your drone useless.
There's no drone counter to the F-35 because it's BVR capabilities have shots off before the drones could get within effective range.
@ElmosPizza4Life @1337_n008@BHappy3@HealthRanger It's not a KEW, it's a MRV with no warhead.
Significant difference.
Also, the US absolutely can intercept these missiles while in flight and far before the MRV heads are deployed.
This isn't new technology.
@GabeZZOZZ Russia invaded Ukraine and took Crimea and then expected Ukraine to play along because, as has already been established, Russians are clinically retarded.
Now Putin is upset because he's getting his ass whipped by a significantly smaller country and it's honestly funny as fuck
@Jamesptyltdna@GabeZZOZZ If the US was at all afraid of Russia they wouldn't have given missiles, tanks, F-16's, or ammunition.
They wouldn't have given Ukraine drones.
They wouldn't have given them the okay to use the missiles in Russia.
No one fears Putin or his low quality military lmao
