@MonoSicario3 Every. Single. Time.
He is called autist for a reason.

@smugfrog_ @PuCoScipio_AF @ripplebrain Even if the missiles can't touch anything, a well coordinated launches (and decoys) can disrupt operation and cause emergency elsewhere.

[Tun Tun @dovantun]

@smugfrog_ @PuCoScipio_AF @ripplebrain They should be operated with escorts. But yes, that increase the cost and friction immensely, with extra risk of friendly fire, of collision, of effort to monitor airspace.

[Tun Tun @dovantun]

@smugfrog_ @ripplebrain To do so they need to hit them first. My main point is 359, being a loitering AA missile, is slow so scoring a hit is difficult. To hit M0.8 target you need supersonic missiles. A small warhead is not enough to down an airliner, so my hypothetical missiles will only damage them.

[Tun Tun @dovantun]

@smugfrog_ @ripplebrain 359 is slow, though. If there is a two-stage loitering AA missile with supersonic terminal phase, those large airplanes are sitting ducks in the gulfs.

@JennyBot88 @wandrian64 @ripplebrain How long until the ships lost in this pointless gauntlet runs reach a significant percentage of the world's tanker fleet?

@ProfWanghaf @simpatico771 Ballistic is not the only weapon they have. It's not even the strongest. The SoH is.

[Tun Tun @dovantun]

@RadarFennec @ripplebrain If at all. For example there won't be another early warning radar in the GCC.

@JessicaBones10 @JucheAffirmer China sees Taiwan as their territory, so nuking Taiwan is still nuking China.

@Hoodvidsdaily @ripplebrain I somehow thought it was the debasification. Proxy? Yes. Staging in the desert? Yes.

@trendwipeout The problem is range. Mid-range AD has 50-80km range while glide bombs has at most 100km range. You. Big, airliner size drone is just not survivable against near peers. You still stuck with limited penetration. It's better to make the drones cheap one-way attack drone.

@trendwipeout @ripplebrain Well, that's the #ReaperGenocide for ya.

@Lurking_Goat @RWApodcast Less dense network means lower total bandwidth, which still more than enough for military purpose. Round the clock coverage is the most critical.

@GilangPutr16738 @Aaronusmagnus @squatsons With NATO AWACS and SIGNINT behind.

@simpatico771 I often say many don't have a sense of scale at all. They don't understand how hyper a superpower really was - was, because the US now is a just sad shadow of its 1990 self.

[Tun Tun @dovantun]

@KitKlarenberg @ripplebrain Debasification now goes mainstream.

[Tun Tun @dovantun]

@smoggynights @ripplebrain Whelp, I tried to wrote "the Man of Steel didn't say", as it's likely a concept older than Stalin himself.

[Tun Tun @dovantun]

@smoggynights @ripplebrain We all know that's for harassing, not for sinking. But, as the famous Man of Steel did say 😁, quantity has a quality all its own. If the carrier ventured too close (about 300km), and if Iran feeds enough of those autonomous Shaheds toward it, a hit is guaranteed.

[Tun Tun @dovantun]

@smoggynights @ripplebrain Developing such a system takes a long time, though. At least 1-2 years. The Iranians have more pressing need, the threat from the carriers is just not enough, and with their stranglehold on the shipping lanes, this war is unlikely to continue like this for too long.
