If one can afford it then that's the best propulsion for AC. It's like comparing steam engine and diesel-electric engines.

For aircraft carriers nuclear propulsion is the way to go. You free up a lot of space for aicraft, aviation fuel, ammos, qiarters, plus generate a lot of power for future radsrs and directed energy defenses. The best part is more time on mission and less time on dock for maintenance or refuelling.

If I remember my history correctly, it was France and UKs bright idea to remove Gaddafi.

Germany and France are driven by greed. You don't expect much from the country that produced Hitler and the other one that enslaved the IndoChinese. But just survey the sentiments of Finland, Sweden, Baltic states, and Russia's Eastern neighbors. They would like to vomit Russia. They're so sick...

How can you maintain sovereignty if you don't have "credible deterrence?" Russia threat is overblown? Have you not asked why almost every neighbor of Russia fear it, hate it and wants the protection of the Western alliance from Baltic countries to Eastern Europeans? Only the despots in central...

The situation in Lybia is becoming serious. Where is the architect of the Lybian invasion --- the French? Can't Franch lunch several super duper Rafales on their own defended only by Spectra to protect the Lybian quagmire it and UK pushed its allies to participate in? I don't here reports of...

Well America helped stabilize Syria or atvpeast parts of it after ISIS took advantage of its civil war (although I'm not entirely sure America wants Syria stabilized like before the civil war). Somalia is getting better slowly. Lybia is a mess but it's civil war. Ukraine is rebuilding. But...

BTW, it's funny how RT echochambers are falsely claiming Russia is winning or won in Ukraine. Russia 5 years ago still had an iron grip over the whole Ukraine. Now it has patches of territoroes in the east while the rest of mainstream Ukraine has gone full American.

Pompously? Runaway? Sounds like RT. Anyway, America is still in SoKor after 70 years. It's back in Vietnam; back in Somalia with bases (but not anymore as s UN peacekeeper); still working with allies to salvage Lybian peace; still in Iraq and had just defeated ISIS there; still in Syria despite...

I suggest you read your history. 1. In Korea it was the NoKor's that lunched a surprise attack against Sokor with Soviet and Chinese support to unify SoKor under NoKor. The SoKors were routed until America mustered a defensive stance. The US, Sokors and allies (including India and the...

You win some and you lose some. Nobody or country is invincible. But French has lost all major wars since WW2 that it was at the helm, from losing to Hitler quiet embarassingly to losing its 3rd World colonies in wars of independence. Korea was a stalemste, although looking at NoKor it...

Macron is just trying to out-Trump Trump. Besides, Macron's stand is another cynical French move to profit from Russia. French are the most corrupt powers in its time. No wonder they've been kicked out forcibly from most of their colonies. French just want 1 thing, money. Macron would even sell...

The best way to not go to war is to prepare for it ---- ironic isn't it? Why do you think France and Germany are investing billions in dollars for a new fighter, new radars, missiles, IFVs, nuke subs, etc? To fly on airshows, display on military parades, or play around the World's deep oceans? I...

But T-90 is better than Cold War era Soviet tanks and T-14, if produced in sufficient numbers, which is unlikely, will be an overmatch to existing Western MBTs. So NATO countries now have to invest to maintain their qualitative edge.

With some modifications to Mistral I think the French Navy can have new (pocket) aircraft carriers if they operate F-35Bs. The Japanese and Koreans are seriously considering of converting their helicopter carriers/amphibious assault ships into mini aircraft carriers with introduction of F-35Bs...

Now this is very cool! France's President Macron is photographed being dropped from a helicopter into a moving nuclear submarine Le Terrible. Vive la France! Now we have a new leader of the "Free World!" Pres. Macron does make Trump look like an idiot!

They're parading backhoes, dozers and dump trucks... so uplifting.

You maybe right Armand... "MISSILE MADNESS Charles R. Smith Thursday, Sept. 9, 2004 Clinton Legacy Inside Russian Missiles For nearly three decades the U.S. Navy has depended on a missile designed in 1948. The MQM-8 Vandal was derived from the ramjet-powered Talos missile that protected...

At this point, politics intervened in the process, with the Russian Duma refusing export clearance for the missiles.[5] (Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Aerial Targets, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, p. p10 and p56) The link...

The Coyote was a newer design and thus has greater growth prospects. Moreover, in the ASM role it has a faster terminal boost maneuvering capability at Mach 2.8 while the MA-31 (US name for KH-31) laden with US-introduced electronics was only capable of Mach 2.7 (Mach 3.5 capability was for ARM...
