Im sure we dont have any tech that requires clearances to know about.

Not really applicable for this discussion ...........

Are you really so naive to think we dont have weaponry that requires clearances.

Hell even the mlrs system i worked on when in the guards we had to have a mid level clearance and it wasnt like it was known tech.

Whats your experience with high level clearance and tech?

Not sure what the OP is talking about, there's no evidence Iran has them or has used them just their word.

Experts say the U.S. and China are the only countries that have developed new-generation hypersonic missiles — but neither have used them in battle. Other nations such as Russia, North Korea and Pakistan have tested or used missiles with similar but less sophisticated technology.

Well let's see now. Since 1955 when the US first put troops in Vietnam until 2021 with the DISASTROUS embarrassment of the US pullout of Afghanistan, (that's 66 years BTW) we seem to be getting our troopers killed for nothing and our backsides handed to us by groups of people where the most technologically advanced weapons they have is our duds, what they capture from us, or what we leave behind. One group made shoes from our discarded vehicle tires and the other lives in a place so backward Alexander the Great didn't deem it worthy to conquer, wears man jammies, and put our own dud artillery rounds in the roads. I don't think our not having the fastest missiles on the planet is our biggest military issue. Could it be a congressional decision maker issue?? Just a thought though. Maybe I just got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. IDK. Carry On!!

Yep. Last any conflicts the paper pushers in Washington have tied the hands of what the US armed forces is really capable of.

I’m guessing it’s based on one video circulating that supposedly shows a hypersonic missle hitting Tel Aviv. There is no credible evidence they’ve been used. The sources showing this are about as reliable as a Force outboard….take your chances lol.

Actually u.s. airforce boasted B2 super sonic missile launch mach 13 or 1700mph true ? Who knows wartime propaganda just like Trump rounding up mideast partners sending iran into a tailspin, even the gifted Qatar loaner af one was a ruse..
Who knows?

Too damn funny.

The Ukraine has been successfully warding off a MUCH larger Russian army, generally using U.S. weaponry for over 3 years now when Vlad thought it would take 3 weeks to capture Kyiv.

Then last week we watched as Israel, with a mere handful of F-35s and old F-15s obliterate the Iranian air defenses overnight. All the while they have been pretty successful overall in downing over 95% of the missiles Iran has flung their way. It's no secret that Trump shifted a delivery of 20-some thousand defense missiles to Israel just a few weeks. I wonder it they aren't the ones in Israel's vaunted Iron Dome air defense system?



I'm not saying speed doesn't have a place in the battlefield, but this isn't NASCAR.

armchair generals argue tactics, smart generals argue logistics. You may have the biggest baddest whatever, if you can not support it it is worthless.

^^^^1950's engineering: Now we have the F35 BOLT (Bush/Obammy Libtard Turd) trying to duplicate the performance of established aircraft designs in amalgamation. It's a fucking crescent wrench:

We have ALL the defence we need to protect USA with a shit load of overkill. Pull the fleets into or closer to port and protect our own borders. These countries that have been fighting religion wars for ages can just figure it out for themselves as far as I'm concerned. I'm tired of my tax money trying to help the helpless and hopeless. Pull out of this big brother BS that is nothing but a boat anchor on our own economy .
