    Just for point of reference 288 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. 10 dedicated C-17s can launch 450 AGM-158s. They could theoretically use something like 50 cargo planes to launch well over a thousand of these within minutes completely overwhelming and destroying any and all air defenses a hostile nation may have. In a near peer fight this system is practically an "I win" button.

      This is actually an ingenious strategy by the USAF. Declassified documents show that China accepts they can't shoot down advanced stealth aircraft like the B-2 Bomber or the F-35. So the Chinese strategy has turned from shooting down those advanced jets to shooting down the vulnerable refueling aircraft.

      @@MoGumbo_ Not sure about the "can't shoot down advanced stealth aircraft" part, but you can get a good sense of China's strategy simply by looking at the design of the J-20. Compared with the F-22 and F-35, the J-20 is a much larger aircraft with longer operational range and a big weapons bay with space to accommodate space for larger, longer ranged but less agile missiles. In terms of stealth, the J-20 is stealthy from the front, but much less stealthy at other angles due to its canards.
      Put this info together and you can see its role - to target vulnerable aircraft like AWACS and refuellers from long range, not go up against advanced stealth aircraft like the F-35.

      Gepard shot down russian cruise missiles in ukraine no problem. If the chinese or russians can copy the 40 year old Gepard tech (reliable, quick and easy to use) then cruise missiles are ineffective. Basically every system that is in development or procurement right now to counter the drone menace will likely be able to shot down cruise missiles flying low overhead. Everyone will plaster infrastructure and military assets with anti drone defenses in the future, no doubt.

    You weren't kidding about the ASVAB scores. When I was signing up with the Air Force recruiter in Hannibal, Missouri, there was another guy talking to another Air Force recruiter in the same office. I couldn't hear their conversation, but the young recruit started to cry. The recruiter puts his arm around him and walked him out the office and down the hall. After an hour passed, I see the recruit again and he's high fiving everyone and has a huge grin on his face. When I left the Air Force office I looked down the same hallway the young recruit came from. The office said US Army. His ASVAB scores weren't high enough to get into the Air Force but the Army took him.

    The concept of Rapid Dragon is insanely genius! You can turn practically any cargo plane with a ramp off the back mid flight into a make-due "Bomber"

    Every time the video showed the cargo area on a C130, I could smell it.
    My dad was an avionics tech in the AK Air National Guard, and worked on Hercs for his whole career. So I grew up around them, and then when I joined the Army, it felt like they were the airlift of choice. lol. I love that damned plane.

    Having your boss say "here's a totally separate full-time job to do on-top of your existing full-time job, no raise" is pretty much just daily life in the oligopolistic corporatist hellscape that is modern America.

    It's one of those ideas you kick yourself for not thinking of sooner.
    The logistics chain becomes a part of the launch network too. I'd imagine Rapid Dragon would mostly be an opening strike/defense weapon. Then be used for specific attacks. Freeing up a lot of cargo aircraft for shipping normal supplies.
    To add in a few other details: Consider that we'd probably contract a lot of commercial carriers to deliver supplies (not to front lines, but near by).
    Then there is the time we landed a C-130 on an aircraft carrier. I'd imagine that adds another layer of versatility.

  • @Plaprad

    Almost had it. Yes, the C-17 is bigger. But more capable? Nah.
    When the last C-17 goes to the boneyard, a 130 will be there to fly the crew home.
    But this was actually a rather popular topic in the 130 community in the early 2000's. There were all kinds of wild... let's call them "ideas" at the time. A C-130 with floats (No idea who came up with this gem) and even an idea to put a giant rotor on top to make them VTOL.
    Two I remember. The first was basically this. Have missile launchers on pallets to be dropped. But at the time it was either Tomahawks or smaller ones like Hellfires.
    The other was a drone tank that could be airdropped and basically threw the missiles at enemy tanks. The drawings they had for it were awesome. Just yeet and boom.

    17:20 If I'm not entirely mistaken they've already done that and developed a land based ground launched Tomahawk cruise missile which is fired out of a truck cargo container...

    • @williamallen7836
      @williamallen7836 3 місяці тому

      Yup. Only bumpy part of the ride was going down the tarmac just prior to lift-off. Once in the air it was a pretty smooth ride. Even sitting the webbing seats in the back.
