Wut - ramp broken?

>we can't beat Russia or China!
When you're using decades-old tech, you could have a billion soldiers and still lose.

Really says something about the American Military when they get BTFO by decade old tech huh?

>K/D ratio of 10:1
>BTFO

shitty bait

CRAWLING IN MY SKIN

you sound like a hillshill
>we got the popular vote!
>EC doesnt matter

you got rekt on nam

It was a stupid idea to begin because Russia already controls more than enough airfields in Syria, and then they lost 2 planes.

>current year
>aircraft carriers matter

5 billion dollar floating coffins

Nam fell two years after we left. So no.

>being this retarded

Please Mattis, stop the Pentagon from this shitty earmarked spending already. I want a fleet of railgun destroyers, not whatever the fuck this shit is.

>being this overconfident after pacifying shit-tier goat-herders for decades

Nah, you have to understand, it's a long term plan.

First, given we have no interest to wage any conflict in the Baltics we can signal it by moving carrier from there. It may be old, but it still is quite a presence.
Second, it allows our crews to train operations in open sea, and also to see what breaks when we unmothball good ol Kuzya.
Thirdly, it provides it's not so easy to dismiss missile arsenal to any conflict in med. Yes it will die if one breaks out, but it will take a lot of things with it.

Rainguns are shit.

We have had the tech to put a 180kg payload to an altitude of 180km for over 50 years, but the navy didn't want it because it wasn't cool and high tech. Cannons are old and they wanted to play with jets and missiles.

Now they came up against the cost limits that even the USA has to reconcile so they dumped billions into a new high tech gun because using cannons is so 17th-20th century.

...

Still communist regime. You've got beaten easy.

still watching you seychelle

SYRIAN REBELS BEAT RUSSIAN AIRCARRIER! YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP!

>A FUCKING RAMP

...

>carriers
>current year

Stop posting, Eisenhower. It's not 50's.

>Force projection is obsolete.

it's a you didn't change the minds of the indigenous people so you suffered a military defeat episode

>dude farmers beat drones xDD

took a whopping three weeks to slaughter a path to baghdad in 2003 (and less than 100 hours to assblast them out of kuwait in 91) and burn it back to the ground but of course you're not gonna make muds stop being muds

what do you want the US to do, kill every last man woman and child before pulling out?

We use decades old tech. Look at the LHA or LHD amphib carriers we STILL have in commission, still serving.

I want it yes.

JUST

its more a "military campaign failed to achieve its goal, so it's a failure" episode

>surrendering to Iran

>yahoo

Arresting gear broke. The mechanism itself, not the wire.

curved deck, come on putin.

Atleast the US navy has successfully landed drones on their carriers. Soon all those F-18s are going to be gone and replaced with drones.
