This is pure wickedness!

How can you be spending such amount building weapons of mass destruction?

patrickmuf:
The Americans will hype just about everything they manufacture, the day it happens we will know who is truly the most powerful nation in the world, talking about military capabilities.

Explorers:
2. DDG 51 Destroyer - $101.8 billion.


This destroyer needs 350 men to operate and is armed with tomahawk missiles, 5-inch guns, torpedoes and a mine detector. It measures 500 feet and displaces 9,200 tons.

Explorers:


For instance, when we talk about cars every country has her own make, brand, model spec, and most times giving the same functions.

Some are more expensive than the others.

Now to weapons, when we mention F-15, F-16, F-18, F-22, F-35, Humvee, Chinook, Apache, Blackhawk and stuffs like that belongs the United States Military (US origin).

Russians and other Europe countries have their sophisticated fighter jets, Armoured vehicles, destroyers, aircraft carriers but the United States spends more on theirs. $601 Billion in 2015.


The attached image is High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle(HMMWV) commonly known as the Humvee(Armoured) produced by US AM general motors.

Its primarily used by the US military, cost $220,000 per unit.

Used to like your posts, but when I noticed you are more US inclined, even though u choose to turn a blind eye/shun other countries. I started loosing interest, you are becoming bias. This is not the Sile12/Explorers I knew.

But anyways keep up the good work. Cheers .

i
I don't know your motivation but it's quite funny you made this statement.

darkhorizon:


What i meant to say is that Explorers is becoming more bias, esp. when it comes to military topics.
Does he mean out of the most expensive its only US that get head there, I beg to disagree.

Ones addiction/love for a country should in no way cloud information been passed out.Most especially Explorers who everyone here like myself look up to when it comes to information. i hope you get my motivation now.

Cheers.

Lol US military is the most powerful nation in terms of military capabilities, the only nation that come close is Russia. Eg. There are over 15000 nuclear warhead in the world and out of this Russia and US account for 93% of them, Imagine the gap.. Russia have a little bit more nuclear warhead than US but the US have more nuclear warhead on high alert than Russia. What it means is that if there is a nuclear war now, the US will have more to use within minutes. Then other technologies which the US military have that even China can only dream of imitating

But if the USA have the most expensive equipment what should he do to be less "biased"

Does Expensiveness(if there's any word like that) equate EFFECTIVENESS and EFFICIENCY??
