Ahuitzotl: We are talking heat not radar...
.......... Now I'm confused!!
Ahuitzotl: [b] Missiles locks are a function of radar not heat..
Re: Top 10 Most Expensive Military Planes by skullz: 7:37pm On Jul 30, 2014
Ahuitzotl: Aircrafts generally will be withdrawn from major war offensives because military strategies with the prevailing advanced ballistic systems will make their role in the front,no matter the generations, useless just like expensive battleships...
..More like we are heading for the era of Unmanned aerial warfare

skullz: .......... Now I'm confused!!
[b] We was talking about heatseekers and afterburners then you said something about lock which in this case is redundant because locks are function of radar not heat (our current subject) and then you went of tangent about radar resignation and stealth but we had to bring you back to heat,heatseekers and afterburners..

skullz: ..More like we are heading for the era of Unmanned aerial warfare
That is why drones are in high demand to supplement the numbers of expensive trained pilots and aircrafts....How bad would it look like for a $1 million trained pilot to get shot down in his $50million jet by a missile costing $250,000...

......Talking about Heat(IR) then you should know it's hard to pick up an IR
signal from great distances

..That's what I've been hammering all this while, you can't eliminate the use of aerial components in battles/war, be it manned or unmanned.

What am also saying is they are very vulnerable and hence are not as decisive in major conflicts today as most people believe them to be...

Nobleval: Show us Russian versions. Always promoting US. I don't agree with the OP
i Was also expecting to see the military hardwares of the Russians...the home to deadly weapons
sylve11 :

No, they are upgrading to kill the likes of
the silly ones, though some innocent
souls may not be spare; but hey, it has
been happening since 14BC (war=killing).
Would't mind if all of these r deployed to
the Northern part of naija. Kill them silly
ones, if d few good wanna join hands
with the silly ones, then spare no one!
statistical fact shows that, innocent unharmed (unsilly) people have been killed far more than the so called "Silly ones" as a result of the deployment of those weapons....You cant even survive Its Chain reaction!!!

We can go on about the stealthiness of the B2, you and I know it is a deep strike aircraft capable of penetrating even the most saturated of SAM sites. Weaken air defences and make way for other aircrafts to carry out bombing run.
The B2 would appear inconsequential on a radar screen thus making it hard to detect.

IR signture is low. Heat seekers have nothing to even Lock on.

Technically it has knocked out your SAM sites and disappeared before you even know it was there.

At best your only chances are lighting up the whole sky with missiles and pray you hit it...probability of that happening is ermm.....Zero!!
Because The B-2's operational altitude
imposes a flight time for defensive weapons that
makes it virtually impossible to engage the aircraft
during its weapons deployment.

Ahuitzotl: Don't flatter yourself...B2s will get blown off by SA 11s.
grin That would be awesome..As of today a single missile has not been fired at a B2, even though it has been in lots of hostile SAM infested territory
I'm guessing the SAM operators decide to give the B2s safe passage.

BadBoy25: Sensible comment! Nigerians lack reasoning skills . they think it's about manufacturing automobiles or nollywood etc.
the fact is , The United states is the Greatest nation in the world and will always be so for a very long time to come ,the USA is the pioneer of this modern civilization as we have it today .
Belgium,Netherlands,Sweden,Denmark ,New Zealand etc. are not looking to manufacture cars or have Belgiumwood or swedenwood .
They simply develop their nations and live peacefully . they have a modest population,unlike Nigeria who keep breeding like animals and boasting about having the biggest population.


The USA would annihilate Russia and China combined in a war . The United states is more powerful than Russia .
you think God would leave america to be the only powerful nation on earth? Just as there's satan to give God and and his followers a hard time ,Russia is complimentary to the United states in terms of Power. although satan is powerful,God has the sole power to destroy Satan if he wants to .
The united states would destroy Russia in a war . although there would be alot of damges and casualties done to at least 30 percent of US cities .
huh who said so? Bbc? Cnn? Okay i will start with you tonight

Ahuitzotl: What scenario are you talking about? we thought we was squaring off with one B-2,now you say (change the goalposts) we got multiple bogeys?! against one lonely battery?!!, that is not a feasible nor strategic or a tactical scenario..It can never happen....[b]If it is an air raid or a bombing run then its imperative the radar stations must be knocked out but how is it possible when most are very mobile with thick camouflage?? O.k, so you manage to knock off some and drop your bombs then how do you escape with heatseekers all over the sky, else you shut your engines and crash....Yes,Russia is the best in advanced missile weaponry that is why expensive american jets will become obsolete very soon.[/b]

Are you saying a B2 will invade enemy territory without any other support system? You are the one not thinking clearly because all along I've said fighting is not unidimensional. Check out post #113. Further, what's this "heatseaker" you keep harping on? Heat seeking missiles are generally susceptible to flares and/or evasive maneuvers! Na today?

You ask how it's possible to knock out mobile radar stations. Take a quick look at Iraqi's self-propelled SAM and tell me what happened to them during the war: http://www.militaryfactory.com/armor/detail.asp?armor_id=151 You can ask the same exact thing about Kosovo which had a much more superior air defense system.

Let me tell you how a hypothetical attack on a potential strong enemy would occur:

1. launch 100s of cruise missiles from ships and submarines offshore with the sole aim of knocking off long range radars and command and control. An attack can occur 3,700 km (2,300 miles) away from the target;
2. follow up with B2s that can fire a weapon at a target 1,500 miles (2,414 km) away;
3. start jamming radars with EA-6B Prowler;
4. bring out the F-117s to continue degrading the air defense systems. Fly well above 15k feet to stay out of range of the portable SAMs; and
5. if the air defense system and command control are somewhat degraded, bring out the F-16s and F-15s to patrol the skies.

BadBoy25...I see you've not been up to date with world events and military matters. Do you know that US and RUSSIA ARE THE ONLY COUNTRIES IN THE PLANET CAPABLE OF DESTROYING THIS PLANET MANY TIMES OVER? So how dare you underrate Russia....the most powerful nuclear power{which matters} and the second most powerful military power{which doesn't matter} do you know that Russia can annihilate this planet whenever they want?

Please could you back that up? Don't just make a fallacy just because the manufacturer listed that ability. Please tell us advanced SAM systems it has encountered.

You just quote links without reading them or you have a natural comprehension problem, your link says The Russians will have a hypersonic stealth Bomber in 2030, is your calendar on fast forward?
