America used stealth ships to sneak into Japan under the China's nose... We're so back

That's it. I'm making an infographic.

God speed.

>>63986375
Stop posting this fucking slop. After telling you faggots for years that Iran's """"hypersonics"""" were nothing but a propaganda tool, they went and had a war with Israel that appears to have proved it beyond any doubt. Have a half assed meme, next time I'll do a fucking infographic.

>>63986555
You have served the board well. The honor of mighty eagle is restored. Glorious presidency magnified-salute to Trump.

>>63986375
The USA and turdies have a different definition of what makes a weapon hypersonic. We were developing shit for mach 20, Iran was developing shit we had in 1960

>>63986555
Nice trips but also reemind these thirdie gulaghomo fucks that Nike Sprint reached Mach 10 in 5 seconds starting from the silo.

>>63986555
yeah but in the thirdie extended fanfiction universe those hypersanics killed 70 carriers and 800 f35s

>>63986555
Fattah-1? More like Fatass-1

>>63986833
Does America have non ballistic hypersonic missiles yet? What about those lasers tested over a decade ago? What about the railgun that was promised to the navy five years ago? And China managed to just copy the F35 as the J35 after the US spent trillions on it? And then America plans on copying the J20 as the F47 but the program stalled? What's going on with all of that? Hope you have something reasonable and well thought out to say.

Vaporware. Embarrassingly the mako is designed on the Russian R37 frame.

Please stop destroying what sliver of faith I had in the DoD. I can't take anymore brutality.

>>63987120
Results?

>>63987115
>The system was intended to work
And does work, being a deployed and active successor to LAWS. Not my fault whoever did the wiki entry phrased it so awkwardly. You can do the edit if you want to fix it, faggot.

>>63987123
The US isn't at war, so we have no operational results for their in-service, in production, currently deployed hypersonic glide vehicles and lasers. Presumably the results will be known when some shitstain of a military with thirdy propaganda trash gets wiped off the face of the planet like happened to the Iraqi Army. Seethe harder loser.

>>63987127
>one for land-based testing and one for installation aboard a Flight IIA Arleigh Burke-class destroyer.

There's only two of these after 8 years?? This is a worse debacle than the Armata, and Russia is supposed to start getting 1500 of those a year. Please tell me you have something else.

>>63987130
>Please tell me you have something else.
Yes, the one other acknowledged one that you omitted because you can't read properly. How maby unacknowledged ones do you think there are? Should the US have shown off their VT rounds to the Japanese before Pearl Harbor as well?

>>63987141
>maby
Oh dear. So you don't have data on anything? Nothing tangible at all?

>>63986392
So this is why the jews fear the chinaman

>>63987130
>Please tell me you have something else.
ODIN is installed on more than 5 ships. It's classed as a dazzler, but tell me, what's its power output?
There's also an unnamed laser on another ship that helpfully gets misdirected to something unrelated on Wikipedia.
So that's what? 8 ships acknowledged to have operational laser systems. How many do Russia and China have? You contrarian faggot, tell us, please, before we get demoralised.

>>63987156
>casting stones in a glass house
How many equivalent lasers are deployed on Russia's fleet? Irans? China's?

>>63987162
>ODIN is installed on more than 5 ships
Wikipedia says otherwise. And:
>The weapon was installed on USS Ponce for field testing in 2014
It's been 11 years and many sources claim we only have two active. That's vaporware.

>>63987165
We're they working on them for two decades? If so that's incredible. I thought only the world's singular superpower was capable of that. Regardless,they do seem to have hypersonic cruise missiles.
>While the US abandoned railgun development, Japan continues to advance the technology, potentially incorporating it into future warships and even considering a ground-based version.
Even Japan has skin in the game.

>>63987162
Technically Iran does have anti ship ballistic missiles and the US doesn't making them more capable in that area. Crazy to think. No one would have guessed that two decades ago.

>>63987168
Now you're just lying. There is no Wikipedia page for ODIN, and USS Ponce was LAWS.

>>63987184
I'm not lying. I said Wikipedia doesn't agree with you. Please keep up. What source do you have on five odins? It is the successor to LAWs which did start on 2014 and was canned.

>>63987180
>Technically
They have ballistic missiles that have never sunk a ship. They claim they're antiship missiles, but reality disagrees with their propaganda.
>>63987175
So none? Gotcha. Getting real multipolar in here.

The US has dozens of operational laser weapons on sea, land and air platforms, and every other pole of the multipolar world has none. Sad.

>>63987189
>What source
It was revealed to me in a dream. I'm only counting ships that are operating right now, by the way. You never told me the power output of ODIN. What is it?

>>63987189
>I'm not lying
Yes you are, you filthy scum.

>>63987202
Please focus on the weapons.
>>63987195
>It was revealed to me in a dream
I believe you
>You never told me the power output
Honestly I don't think there are any prototypes available. It's fully vaporware. There's no new tests, there's no good results, it's not shooting anything down- the Navy knows it's about to can the whole thing again but they were keeping jobs in R&D to keep people in the industry so they don't jump ship and move overseas right away. Rail and hypersonics are already hollowed out in the US and lasers practically atrophied by 2017 after a row of failed tests. My guess is that they shelved the program a year ago but put out articles anyways to keep fake buzz going. Do you have any test results or confirmed platforms btw? If not it's all a fiction.

>>63989263
Kekw yeah, it's nuts how thesw thirdies think that USN ships aren't bristling with lasers.

>>63986555
Could add the US hypersanic glide vehicles too, but whatever. Shit's all memes.

>>63988953

Yokosuka is a few km away from Tokyo, on the opposite shore of Japan.
You're mentally impaired, lmao

I wonder if they bragged about that.

I actually forgot about this. Went to Yokosuka to see the Mogami the other day and noticed her just across the water. The Jieitai guys kept reminding the Japanese boomers not to photograph the beigun base.

>>63989658
Were they undetected?

>>63989819
>Were they undetected?
Was the zumwalt undetected or even they tried to detect it? We know they have constellations of mil sats...


I really doubt the US would blow up the cover of their assets in China for a Newsweek clickbait, but being retarded is free

>>63989848
That's a lot of words for "No, China doesn't have any stealth ships like the Zumwalts. I was wrong and concede."

>>63990348
