The F-4 Phantom II: Was a Gun Really the Solution?

(in that case IT IS a first strike) against the territory of the country that launches said attack/invasion.

    The thing that baffles me about this argument is that Russiabots present it like the ultimate gotcha. "Haha, the F-35 is actually a ripoff of the Yak-141! Checkmate, dogs of the west!" as if that actually means anything. Let's suppose, for a moment, that we live in a fantasy world where the Russiabots are correct. That Lockheed _did_ in fact use Yakovlev's engine nozzle design for the F-35B. So what? What does it matter? Lockheed bought an engine nozzle from Yakovlev because Yak were willing to collaborate with them, and the design was good. They then used it to make one of the most advanced aircraft in the world. This changes precisely _nothing._ The F-35B isn't somehow magically worse if it has a Yakovlev-designed engine nozzle system. It is still the most advanced publically-known weapons platform in the world. It can still destroy anything its opponents throw at it. Is it supposed to be some "You see, filthy US warcrimes factory must buy superior Russian technology to create planes!" type of argument? Because that doesn't really hold up. The F-35 is a worldbeater and Glorious Superior Motherland has one 5th-gen that's held together with woodscrews and isn't actually stealthy, and is also being kept on tarmac despite Russia being in an active war that they're failing to gain air superiority in, and another 5th-gen that's a mockup. Even in the mad world where this is true, the reality is that Lockmart and Yakovlev's designs were combined to create the world's most advanced fighter aircraft, and Russia is trailing painfully far behind this achievement.

"relying on a hefty amount of speculation and conjecture yourself." Nope. Nothing I said relies on speculation. Nothing. Everything I said was backed up with evidence and has a corresponding source. You don't realize it, but this is you telling on yourself. Making arguments that are exclusively based on speculation while criticizing others for speculating is you subtlety admitting that you know what you're saying is bullshit and you're hoping that nobody would pick up on it. "Given the above, we are then forced to rely on the corporation's character, history and past activities, while keeping things as reasonable as possible. " Yeah, except your conclusions are not "reasonable" and just because you say they are doesn't make them so. Nope, sorry. That's not acceptable evidence. No way. No how. You'd be laughed out of court if that was the case you were bringing. " Given that Lockheed have been caught red handed doing things orders of magnitude worse than copying designs" Sorry, I don't think you can objectively quantify that bribery is worse than copying. That's a just a bullshit standard that you're using to help your specific narrative. In any case, once again, not evidence.

    Most shuttle system designs were in the public domain in the late 70s. The Buran was a copy and an evolution based on the Soviet priorities. As of about 10 years ago though the details of the flight control system were still hard to find, the details about Buran is and makes more practical sense than any idea I considered. I'm sorry it wasn’t fully deployed. The competition would have been good for future shuttle development.

    I know very little about tanks, so i could be completely wrong. From what i've seen the Abrams is more versatile with more options, while the Leopard is more specialized. There are vast differences between them for example, the Abrams uses a turbine engine while the Leopard uses a diesel engine. Turbine engines are not ideal in wet climates but excells in dry climates, and diesel engines are better suited for wet climates. Its almost like they are designed for somewhat different things and climates. Based on that alone i could come up with two different tests comparing them against each other, and in test 1 Abrams wins with 90 points out of 90, and in the other test the Leopard wins 90 points out of 90 simply by carefully choosing what is important. They are very good both but at somewhat different things. The Abrams is designed for open fields and deserts while the Leopard is designed for forests and marshes. Why does that matter, well it matters because of what is important for those different terrains. The Leopard is good at hiding in forests and waiting in ambush. While the Abrams relies more on quick relocations and swift manouvers. So for the Abrams top speed is more important, but in forests and waiting its better to be more invisible. That means the guns are different too, the Abrams will engage in combat over longer ranges then the Leopard, so they need to be able to shoot longer. So what we end up doing is comparing oranges to apples so to speak. Both are excellent tanks but designed differently for the terrain they will more likely find combat in.

    A shock! A soviet era program was was politically pressured, manipulated, exaggerated, and hyerbole'd to death. Oh no, to be fair to the Buran it did actually work. And then they didn't do it again. So, well, win some, you lose dozens more.
