  • Maybe capacity is to the point where military planners are willing to give up stock of some missiles. But if I’ve taken anything away from the Russo-Ukranian war, it’s that quantity of weapons systems is incredibly important. There’s a heck of a lot of targets to hit in China.

    However if the US is in a position to send JASSM to Ukraine, I will be excited. Personally, I’m very excited to see what weapons systems that Ukraine can now use since it has F-16. Especially with JDAM-ER which the Russians have shown the effectiveness of.

    The resurgence of the ATACMs is aimed at Ukraine and Europe as a whole. Especially Poland and its massive HIMARS fleet on order. It would definitely be useful in the Pacific, but from what I see in the procurement requests, it’s mostly for foreign order. It’s a major move though, seeing as new production of the ATACMs was terminated in 2007.





  • That’s the thing that breaks my immersion. I know that 200 years would make the area completely taken over by nature. It would look more like Horizon rather than Fallout. Not sure I’d dig trenches or anything, but radiation would be much more minimal. Nukes would also have a limited area, so the cities would die, but farmers, small towns, and everyone else out in the boonies would survive and rebuild. Hiroshima is a thriving city nowadays, with the building that survived still there
