A brand-new VTOL helicopter has been unveiled in the US.

Image
Drone, fighter jet, and helicopter , all in one – this is the future of American VTOL helicopter s. At a time when world powers must be even more powerful, no Military asset can afford to not be useful in virtually every mission. As a result, traditional helicopter s must now make way for a more advanced type of aircraft known as Tiltrotors. They fly faster, farther, and most importantly, they have better VTOL agility. To understand the importance of VTOL in tiltrotors, it is important to know how it works. A welcomed sight on the skies above Commonwealth armies, the Kshatriya gunship is able to unleash a wide range of firepower as it soars the skies at full speed, then retreats before what remains of the foe can even aim. Speed, as it happens with the Scimitar MK3 mech, is a key factor when it comes to the gunship’s chances of survival. Aside from small arms fire, the Kshatriya is quite vulnerable, its armor plate and shielding systems unable to handle concentrated anti

The A-10 Warthog is a 50-year-old aircraft that just won’t go away.

Despite being nearly fifty years old, how does the U.S. A-10 Warthog continue to survive various efforts to cancel it each time it’s in budget-cut danger? An airplane that is as ugly as its name, the A-10 can bring the heat to the air-to-ground battle. Its many critics have to admit that this thing is just awesome at close-air-support. Designed as a “tank plinker” during the Cold War, the Warthog showed extreme prowess during Operation Desert Storm while destroying all kinds of Iraqi weapons systems. How Many Lives Does the Warthog Have? But the Air Force has wanted to eliminate the A-10 for more than 20 years. It is considered too slow and ponderous after decades in service. And despite its achievements in the air-to-ground fight, opponents believed the money used on upkeep and maintenance could be better spent on more modern aircraft . Enter the Biden Administration and the U.S. Senate Then Politics entered the picture. First, the Biden Administration said no mo

Su-57’s Hypersonic Anti-Ship Missiles Could Make it Attractive for China’s Navy; Stealth Jets Potentially Lethal in Maritime Strike Role

Amid reports that China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) could be interested in acquiring Russian Su-57 air superiority fighters, the potential roles these high end combat jets could play in Chinese service have been cause for much speculation. Su-57 Fifth Generation Fighter The fact that China’s indigenous analogue to the Su-57, the Chengdu J-20, has preceded it by several years into mass production and is itself highly capable in air to air combat, has limited the potential uses the PLA Air Force could have for the Russian jet. However, the fact that the Su-57 retains a number of capabilities which the J-20 lacks could well see it fulfil a complementary role alongside the Chinese platform. In particular, the Su-57’s design appears to be far better suited to both maritime strike, strike and AWACS hunting roles where the J-20, being more specialised in air to air combat, is somewhat lacking.

It may look like a fat toгpedo, but theгe’s moгe than meets the eye with HII’s newly unʋeiled REMUS 620 medium-class naʋal Unmanned Undeгwateг Vehicle, which is an autonomous гobotic submaгine that combines aгtificial intelligence with an opeгational гange of 275 nm (316 mi, 509 km).

The most costly amphibians in Japan are called ShinMaywa US-2

Image
As Japan’s largest amphibian and the second largest in the world, ShinMaywa US-2 is particularly impressive for transport, it has no duty to carry goods but to serve another job. In the current period, only a few countries in the world are capable of designing and manufacturing seaplanes, and Japan is one of them. At this time, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force are using ShinMaywa US-2 multi-role seaplanes. A total of 6 aircraft of this type are in operation. The sixth seaplane was purchased for 12 billion yen in 2013, nearly $156 million. At such a price, US-2 can be classified as the most expensive seaplane in the world. The development of the US-2 took eight years to complete. With the Shin Meiwa US-1A fleet introduced in the 1970s beginning to reach the end of its service life, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force attempted to obtain funding for a replacement in the 1990s, but could not obtain enough to develop an entirely new aircraft. In October 1996, ShinMay

The largest piece of artillery ever built is this gigantic cannon

Image
There are a few 155s that are good. Each country uses 1 according to its needs. To say the German is the best is as bad as to say that the Leopard is the best tank ever. Which is not. When it comes to guns, performance is important, but so is price. It is doubtful whether self-propelled artillery , too expensive to be produced in large numbers, will have a major impact on the battlefield. Dear belligerents, don’t you really understand that the bitch on this planet after a nuclear war is raasenyatata I want to live, and my children, wife, mother, sister, nephew, etc. … Think about it, please. The Germans are the best equipped of any armed forces. Unfortunately, they have one of the worst armies in Europe, with squalid equipment, bad morals, and a unionized army reeking of incom Pet ence. Only 155 mm howitzer. All with lots of extra bolts that could stop working. Like most, if not all, German material is over-engineered. The trend in artillery is wheels, this machine

These Are The Largest Military Submarines In The World

Image
Ever since the submersible American Turtle set sail during the Revolutionary War, undersea warfare Technology has been thriving. The last two centuries have seen these ships grow from small wooden minnows, tasked with destroying as a single ship, to gargantuan steel leviathans able to carry a full thermonuclear arsenal. With the dawn of the Cold War, the submarines’ mission has become one of deterrence and infiltration. Therefore, the design of modern submarines has evolved to include the latest sonar and sensor technology. Much like their floating counterparts, submarines also house a wide assortment of weapons. Because of this, today’s submarines are now the size of World War II aircraft carriers. To that end, here is a list of the largest Submarines of the military, ranked by length. 15/15 Russian Navy Yasen-Class (364 Feet) It’s designated as the replacement for the aging Akula and Alfa-Class submarines. The Yasen is the first Russian submarine to carry modern

The $13 trillion The biggest aircraft carrier in the world, USS Gerald R. Ford, has space for hundreds of aircraft

Image
The USS Gerald R. Ford, capable of carrying over 75 aircraft , is the largest aircraft carrier in the world . The $13 Billion, 337m-long flagship aircraft carrier joined the United States Navy in 2017. Each of the ship in the Ford-class will save $4b in total ownership costs during its 50-year service life. An  aircraft carrier  is a warship which serves as a seagoing airbase. It is a symbol of prestige and power for the navies across the world . These giant aircraft carriers are equipped with a full-length flight deck capable of carrying, arming, deploying, and recovering aircrafts. Acting as the capital ship of a naval fleet in a waterfront, these supercarrier can carry numerous aircraft including fighters Jets, strike aircraft, helicopters, and other types of aircraft. As of 2021, there are an estimated 46 aircraft/helicopter carriers in service operated by thirteen navies across the world, and the largest of them is the U.S Navy’s Gerald R Ford Class batt

The C-5 Galaxy provides a close-up of the American “Flying Athlete’s” Superhuman Strength.

Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, one of the largest Military transport aircraft in the world today. The first flight was made on June 30, 1968, the C-5 Galaxy continues to be trusted, the US Air Force even plans to maintain it until 2040. C-5 Galaxy began service with the US Air Force in 1969, it was present in the wars in Vietnam, Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan. The C-5 Galaxy project began in 1961, in an effort to create a heavy jet transport that would replace the Douglas C-133 Cargomaster and complement the Lockheed C-141 Starlifters. The result was an aircraft with a maximum payload of 118 tons and can carry it to a range of 5,526 km. The range can be extended by in-flight refueling. However during wartime a maximum payload of 132 t is allowed. When introduced in 1970, the C-5 Galaxy became the largest aircraft in the world and remains one of the largest today. This aircraft can carry two M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks, 10 LAV-25 armored reconnaissance vehicles, 16 HMMWVs, o
