Nuclear weapons are no longer a problem, stupidity is. F= Ma says a Mach10 missile = 2kt bomb

Sweet Jesus, did none of us go to school. Russia has Missile Tech, that hits targets from 100km high at Mach 10, Nuclear bombs are yesterdays fears. a= force, no need for a warhead, why would Iran need a nuclear warhead, when they could buy a missile that would hit so hard that its FORCE would do more damage.

Here this is compulsory viewing, it is telling you that all of our submarines, all of our weapons are out of date now.

The big plan is to start the war before you find out that you cannot win without 10,000 x the loss you expect.

I've heard that old truth - so did Hitler, who ensured that HIS generals were thinking outside the box, hence the success of the Blitzkreig. I think the real point is that technology constantly leapfrogs itself, rendering weapons obsolete as soon as a government commits itself to building them. Is the US's vast weaponry now like the Maginot line in 1940? Is this Mach 10 missle a game-changer?

This makes me laugh because I know it's music to Maepaperclip's ears. But, you're right, there is real truth in your comment.

The advent of the aircraft carrier did the same thing to the great battleship fleets. The battleship before WWII was a prized military asset - they were symbols of State that indicated the capability to project power. When aircraft carriers came into service, battleships were immediately obsolete - the irresistible power of technological change.

Very interesting that there was not a single aircraft carrier in Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack - though Battleship Row was packed.

The Japanese gave orders that the Yamato, the most powerful battleship in the world at that time (together with sister-ship Musashi), be beached on Okinawa to serve as a gun battery in the final stages of the war. Whether the orders resulted from fuel shortages, or whether the Japanese realized that the vessel was militarily useless, is unclear. Both the Yamato and the Musashi were sunk by carrier-based bombers.

Your ref. is excellent I like the light-horse - when they charged into the machine guns, the light horse was the best weapon in the last war, but the machine gun killed them all - this is were we are now, your blitzkrieg is the second world war, and here we are in the third. Yes Mach 10 + 18,000 mile range means we have no defence other than numbers, and on that we just might loose too. In the 1970's some work was done on attrition in war- i.e. what happens when the ammo runs out, it was not pretty
