Each missile should cost around 200 k USD Iron Dome Battery costs 42 mln, Tamir missile - 160 K. Main cost ir the radar. It is more powerful than S-400 radar.

I am very skeptical about the need of hypersonic missiles at all. * If we want fast delivery of warhead we can use old good ballistic missile. * If we want covert and cheaper delivery we can use terrain hugging stealthy cruise missile. * If we want very cheap delivery we can use glide bomb. As...

This article just transmits Russian claims. Kinzhal is basically an Iskander ballistic missile attached to MiG-31. Its a big doubt if it can moving targets. About Zircon we dont even know if it exists at all. Here the only official "test" they showed: Missile launched, u can see clear shadows...

You should take all Russian claims with huge grain of salt. Plasma cloud does not make missile invisible at all. But it makes missile totally blind.

Loos very similar in terms of weight, size, range and guidance. Unclear if it fits into F-35 internal bay however.

Rafael Unveils SPICE 250 ER Jack Richardson Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. has used the Aero India 2021 expo to unveil a new variant of its SPICE 250 system. The new variant, dubbed SPICE 250 ER (Extended Range), is based on the smallest of the SPICE Family, which includes the SPICE 250...

Iranians and Russians commit illegal indiscriminate bombings, sieges and ethnic cleansing.

All countries in Syria do the same.

Technically yes. In past half century Israel Syria border is calmest of all.

If Turkey supplied the rebels in 2011-2012 cheap mortars, RPGs, ATGMs rebels would take all Syria with ease and Turkey would get a vassal state. Turkey could dictate Iran and Lebanon conditions and since Hezbollah totally depends on Syria, would boost control in Mediterranean.... But Erdogan...

Assad was a US lapdog since his childhood. ISIS attacked Israel through Sinai. ISIS attacked Jewish targets in Europe. They could not attack Israel from Raqqa and Mosul for geographic reasons. As I said just cheap old weapon supplies would kick Assad when he was on brink of collapse. But...

US and Israel had not war against Assad. You just contradicted your first sentence. :rolleyes: Turkey could take over all Syria with ease if they provided aid to rebels in 2011-2012. There was no need in ground troops at all. Just send some cheap arms and maybe shoot down some barrel bombers...

In 1941 Germany still had plenty of resources. But Hitler decided not to send reinforcements. More over in November 1941 he ordered to send 2nd airfleet from Moscow front to Malta, seriously weakening the air support.

In 1941 USSR war creating new divisions at insane rate. Total 821 divisions were created and restored, that's 4 divisions a day. That's why despite enormous loses - about 6 million killed, POW and injured. Red army in December 41 was larger than in June 41. Especially at front line. In June 41...

Without resolving S-400 issue there will be no F-35.

The ratio 1:10 was over Germany. Over Britain the ratio would be completely different. Plus me262 was 5 times more expensive than Me109. So even 10:1 ratio would not change much considering the overwhelming allied superiority in resources. Thats similar to Tiger tanks. They had 1:5 ratio but in...

Ejecting RAF pilots land in Britain and can be reused again. Ejecting German pilot becomes a POW. This was one of the major factors of British victory in 1940. Plus training piston pilots was much cheaper. Plus in 1942 America was already in war, which is basically unlimited source of pilots...

Thousands of V1 and V2 rockets falling on GB did not change anything at all. Attacking GB with string radar equipped air defence would not be so easy. All polits which were shot down would be lost and training pilots for Me262 was very expensive.

Well obviously its not Hitlers fault. Kill ratio is not necessary a decisive factor. When you are doing escort mission your kill ratio will be many times lower than when you are in free hunt mission. Yet you can do much more important job escorting bombers. As I said Me262 was not suited as...

Hitler ordered to divert Me262 into bomber in September 1943. So obviously this decision could not influence what happened in 1942. The main problem of Me262 were engines. Germans could not made them reliable enough and produce in good numbers until 1944. Besides it was 5 times more expensive...
