Russia doesn't have enough subs to sink all the fuel tankers, they don't have enough of anything to do that, put down the Zerohedge.

For instance: address the problems the RAND corporation has repeatedly warned the American public about for more than a decade now.

We cannot rely upon tankers in a peer-to-peer engagement. Those things are going down if we ever have to fight Russia or China. If there are no tankers, the F-35 is utterly fucking useless. You have to actually get to the fight to be effective, and it can't do that.

Dude, what??

Tankers fly.

Submarines go underwater.

Russian submarines are not what will kill the tankers.


LMFAO

The tanking issue is easily solved by America simply doing what the RAF is doing, and going with a private air tanker fleet to supplement the air force one.

Then America can corner that market as well.

Oh. That makes a difference. If only the tanker is private, it's invulnerable. LMFAO

Russians don't have the jets to kill all the tankers, the tankers are protected by other aircraft and naval assets. You are acting like they will be completely out in the open and unprotected. The Russians can't just shoot at them without consequences, the way you are portraying it, they will have to pay one hell of price to get any of them.

At Lockheed Martin, Full Spectrum Dominance includes market dominance, arguably America's most powerful lever of them all.

The Russians have no real ability to jeopardize America's supply lines to Western Europe, either by sea or through the air, to any meaningful degree. Get real StA, it's not going to be like WWII in the Atlantic, except the Russians are Germany, the Russians can't even be anywhere near that effective in the Atlantic.

The Atlantic is an American Lake, and there is nothing Russia can do about that. Put down the Zerohedge.

The funny part is, it was Boeing who screwed up the tanker program, they weren't building a bleeding edge game changer, it was just supposed to be a simple tanker, yet somehow they couldn't even get that done right.

This is why I don't own Boeing, it's in the pocket of the unions and the Democrats, the airline side of the business corrupts everything.

There is no way to make stealth tankers. There is no fix to this that doesn't involve extending the range of the fighters.

The fucked up thing about it is that they could have done that at the design phase. The fucking thing has weapons bay doors to lower missiles to be fired. It could have done the same thing with pylons that allowed customers to load external fuel tanks, drop them, and go stealth mode.

They didn't do that. It wasn't designed to actually win wars. It was designed to keep running up costs and make money at the expense of national security.


You can't even answer a damned point I make. All you do is repeat these hilarious lockmart slogans like somehow that all makes sense.
