Really? We Didnt have any, but you know those new digital camo that your Royal Marines and The U.S marines, We invented those, those are patterned in a way so that you cant be seen on Infrared and they work too.
And why does military crap cost so damn much these days, like during operation anaconda we had no desert camo, we taped our boots with water proof tape (It was not for water protection, the color happend to be light pink) we were cutting the material from our sand bags and making it into brush for our helmets, we looked pathetic and the americans wouldnt stop laughing at us, that was until our sniper pegged a taliban from 800 yds at night time.
where was I? yeah we finally got Desert Camo when we were well into Op Apollo, apparently it set back the government like 3 million dollars for the dam things wtf, and we spent so much just to ummm
rent some submarines from the brits just to find they had asbestos insulation in them Thx alot PD
Its not your fault, and NS may bring more light to what Im saying, but were paying like 6billion dollars for 25 new anti-submarine helicopters to replace our Sea Kings, Though its old news to you guys I was shocked to hear that the US canceled the Comanche program which was a big farce on their part, I heard it was because they would have to pay like 14bil for like 140 planes well that was stupid, Back in the day the government could purchase a P-40 Warhawk for 12000 dollars.
Personally I think the prices of this technology is meant to keep countries 10 paces behind them in strength even if you are their closest ally.
Now I can Understand Navy ships being so exspensive, there is time put into building them, Huge ass radar and sonar installation, price of the raw products used to make them, certain advansed weaponry and navigation systems along with big ass weapons like those right and left side "Big Berthas" that makes sense.
But for a helicopter that cant exceed 12000ft, or or 300kmh, and can easily be downed if you so much as shoot a pistol into the tail rudder.
For an F-18 that will go for 18 million dollars cant exceed 1000mile without drop tanks, that wont last in carrier service for more than 6 years, yes they have advanced navigation, radar, and miscellanious technology but those are meant to help the pilot and his ground control how the does it meet the requirments of todays battlefeild.
If you ask me we should all start over agian at swords and arrows and work our way up to making it easier for another country to get ahold of advanced weaponary LOL
). That's all I'm gonna say about them for now.
