Pallas sez just now on Channel Stokes that Victoria has the best economy in the country. With a straight face.…
Second that one.
And fly Aer Lingus naturally. I suspect that’s why we went to Ireland in February in the first place. Stupid…
I spent ten years there in the 70’s. The builders and associated people in the construction industry outnumbered the public serpents in those days.
RMIT (and UQ for that matter) run a very active hypersonic mechanical engineering research program.
90% chink students.
We have handed over to our adversaries the weapons that will enslave us.
Rex
Call me sceptical, but I never believed interceptor missiles meant to target incoming ones weren’t that hugely effective. Sure, it wouldn’t be zero, but they also wouldn’t be able to provide a 100% defensive shield… more like 20% is my estimate.
China can have as many of these hypersonic missiles as they want, but at the end of the day, if they attack the US with nuclear weapons the Three Gorges dam is gonsky and 300 million of fuckers are deasky.
Beware the Military-Industrial Complex.
(Also, a great way to screw with a dude waving Wunderwaffen in your face is to use your suprerior conventional forces to deny him places to launch them from. As the Allies did for the V1 by overrunning its launch sites around Calais and shooting down its launching aircraft, attempting to shoot up or blow up every V2 Transporter-Erector-Launcher they encountered and setting 617 Squadron RAF loose on the V3 ‘hill’ at Mimoyecques…
How so, if we’re teaching about this? If we’re teaching “hypersonic mechanical engineering” we don’t have the weapons systems, but the US most likely does and if it doesn’t it would surely have a counter or perhaps none is needed.
Only if you give up and/or desperately need to be proven right you’ll nudge people into doing the same.
Hyperbolic hyperbowl is out of control. Amused to see these two headlines at Sky News just now.
Heavy rain targets more than 10 million Australians
Gaia must be really really unhappy if she/it is targeting ten million Aussies.
Greens leader slams Labor’s environmental agenda a ‘recipe for climate collapse’ after ALP spokesman rules out changing emissions targets
Albo is causing climate collapse! This sounds serious. We should panic. Also I suggest Sky’s sub-eds in charge of headline writing should chill a bit.
It’s the inability to see where it is going to impact, if it is a single or multiple warhead vehicle and importantly the inability to track an inbound weapon until the last minute. This denies the target time to plan a defensive strategy and the unknown of if this is a strike on command and control, logistics and support, more so it removes the certainty of impending attack on air, sea and ground assets that can respond in quick time.
Iron Dome begs to differ, but that is based on constant development and ‘dumb’ projectiles being lobbed in showers. A number do still get through, but certainly better than 1 in 5.
The remainder of your statement is quite correct. A tactical nuclear warhead to try and compensate for a lack of close accuracy against a moving aircraft carrier (The 50’s called- They want their scattergun approach to destructive precisi9n by sheer brute force back. They had an excuse, Mr Xi. Your minions don’t) or a ‘Fuck You’ bombing of, say, Guam or Diego Garcia would result in 50 or more W61-tipped Tomahawks coming back at them. A ‘Proportional response,’ you see… 😉
Heaven forbid we ever see the day the US ever feels a need to light the fuses under its Minuteman IIIs…
Rex.
How much time do you have with existing American weapons? Seeing something coming at you on radar in the next 10 mins or so is not going to help you much defensively.
I get the feeling the US military industrial complex is pushing this.
What is being done at both institutions is leading edge, not just teaching. For example, elimination of heat is a key problem for hypersonics, due to the massive friction between the atmosphere and the skin of the projectile. RMIT has longstanding expertise in composite materials that are advantageous in this area. So now China does too.
This is how the chinks made such leaps and bounds over the past 20 years, supposedly unexpectedly.
We have the skills, but not the will.
Speaking of Drachinifel he talks about 10 things to know about Pearl Harbour here https://youtu.be/umHbkowWi1s

FACT CHECK: TRUE
Barry
Forget “us” when it’s about China. Does the United States?
I think the CCP would have already wargamed that scenario, again it would come down to the CCP initial strike and what vassets it targeted.
On the west coast they could target maritime and air assets with water supply as a locus. East coast could be C&C at the goverment level with the midwest as a secondary delivery point. Pearl and Guam you could take out for the morale and logistics component, morale mostly.
Rex
What can the Chinese do with these weapon systems? What’s the knockout advantage? Honest question.. as opposed to a dishonest one. 🙂

If China attacks the US with nuclear weapons, the Three Gorges will be collateral damage after the devastation of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Lanxhou, and a variety of other cities and military centres.

Sorry- I goofed.
No Tomahawk mounts a nuclear warhead any longer.
The US Air Force’s AGM-86 Air Launched Cruise Missile does. A B-52 carries 6 of them. All packing W80 ‘Dial-a-Yield’ warheads that can deliver 5 or 150kt of precision-guided atomic Whoop-Ass.
Still not a nice thing to have coming at you en masse…
Top Ender:
Ha ha!
It looks like you’ve gotten away with it!
They are an attempt to bluff out the US Navy’s carriers. Either by discouraging their prowling within easy Hornet range of Chinese atolls, Taiwan or the mainland, or getting the huge propaganda victory of at least damaging or even sinking one.
The Chunks are scared of the US Navy and those of its allies. Their centre of gravity is sea trade. Which is why they are doing the whole Co-Prosperity Sphere 2.0 thing with extra artificial islands for Sukhois and trailer-launched cruise missiles, and trying to hedge their bets with overland Belt And Road projects.
All the neighbours have to do is stand off outside easy Mig and Tupolev range and sink anything that tries to run the gauntlet into China, and the place starves and Revolutions its way into a new chapter of warlordism and popular misery.
That’s why they also have the DF-21 ballistic missile. It’s only useful as a would-be carrier killer.
And they are frantically trying to build.up a carrier fleet of their own.
Protect their own trade, savage others’ and make life for uppity neighbours uncomfortable with an on-call air force.
Serious question, would it actually make any difference if the choggies took out the west coast of the US? It may help the lefties in the rest of country focus upon the utter evil of the CCP, but then again probably not.
We need Chubby Rain.
Surely one noosecorpse kiddo is a shitlord?
10 minutes is more than enough time for a fire control system to be able to detect, figure countermeasures and launch or fire them with a reasonable chance of success.
Assuming the speed and course does not vary massively.
The faster you have something coming at you, the harder it is to calculate where and when and with what to reply.
You add further complexity by increasing the volume of attacking weapons. As you’ve identified, the idea is to get something thru the defensive curtains, and hopefully be big enough to desttoy or cripple the target.
Hypersonics make the calculations harder.
Think of it as a battle of algorithms
Artichokes do that, it is weird when you notice it.

I can’t see how the Chinese could win a conventional naval war with the US. All the Americans have to do is have their subs sit at the bottom of the sea until either Chinese naval vessels came along or their oil supplies attempt to get through. Their ability to maneuver is hugely limited. Their sea access is very narrow and made for sub warfare. I think, no?
The US would destroy them.
What do you think?
That’s why we’re getting nuclear propelled subs.
When they venture out into the SCS they’ll be second guessing themselves as to whether there’s an Australian sub lurking somewhere nearby working in tandem with the US & UK navies.
Well…eventually. When we get them. If a perfidious Labor government doesn’t scrap the plan before then.

What is it with the Left, and ‘removing’ things they don’t like?
Why can’t they simply provides alternatives, and leave it up to people to decide for themselves.
‘Tis ok, you don’t need to answer. It was rhetorical.
They can’t. Hence the island chains. The idea being that each is a whole, separate ring of fortifications that need to be cracked, reduced and then occupied.
That in turn pose terrible risks for all non-Chinese shipping. So the allied effort is diluted, degraded and nullified keeping neutral.shipping safe, while Marines’ and Soldiers’ lives are wasted on strategic nothings and the bulk of the PLA is left unharmed.
And China can negotiate a favourable peace when the allies have had enough.
It assumes the PLA-N and AF don’t get bum-rushed in the Taiwan Strait by USN task forces and USAF strengths and missiles built up in Japan and other nearby Pacific islands and friendly nations, and/or all the ASEAN and AUKUS powers and India agree to bottle up the bottom of the South China Sea and convoy all non-Chinese merchant shipping around areas of risk.
Too many assumptions of success on the Chicoms’ part and present, and relying on broken reed Western and SE Asian governments that might suddenly develop a backbone (either through outbreaks of patriotism or at some concerned actors’ gunpoint) and not do what is effectively demanded of them by Chicom propaganda.

Cosby’s lawyers wrote in a legal filing in arguments over the release of the testimony on Tuesday that quaaludes “were a highly popular recreational drug in the 1970s, labeled in slang as ‘disco biscuits,’ and known for their capacity to increase sexual arousal.”
The lawyers wrote that media reports inaccurately labeled Cosby’s testimony about the drug as a “confession of drugging and assaulting women.”
“There are countless tales of celebrities, music stars, and wealthy socialites in the 1970s willingly using quaaludes for recreational purposes and during consensual sex,” the lawyers wrote in the filing.

gimme more or I will nuke you!
ICBMs have high trajectories up to 1000km or so so you have more warning and a pretty good idea from which direction they will come. They don’t dodge in terminal phase.
FOBS system actually go into low Earth orbit (LEO) and can remain parked there for a longish time before being activated. May only be 150 Km high when they come over the horizon from ANY direction and even lower if in terminal re-entry with associated short warning time. If the re-entry vehicle has hypersonic maneuver capability it can dodge during re-entry in atmosphere which complicates the defence.
Having said that there is some thought that the Chicom hypersonic test was being exaggerated by the Pentagon for funding issues. As Musk says, design and prototypes are easy, production is hard.
In any case the USAF has the X-37B of which little is said and it has remained in orbit for over a year at a time. Surely has payload bay capable of holding a nuke or to or three. As it has shuttle like wings the hypersonic L/D will give it significant aerodynamic maneuver capability during re-entry.
Nice thing you can put it in orbit for over a year at a time and bring it back to land on a runway for servicing before launching again.
The Chicoms aren’t as far ahead as you think (if at all).

The Federal Reserve is a government agency. Like any federal government agency the word “ownership” doesn’t apply.

A more or less landlocked nation surrounded by hostile neighbours of its own making amd unable to feed and keep its own population warm without massive maritime imports, is not a nation to provoke its neighbours unless it sees the provocations as a means to keep the people distracted from rebellion.
As such, the war the PRC seemingly wants is probably likely to be the best of the many terrible outcomes that it could experience.

It’s nearly at the top of my “To read” pile.
Queenslanders. Real Australians. Good Germans. Nancy Wake would NOT like you.

Fuel/air explosive would do the job, or if they wanted to test them KEW from orbit, or a variant of this – the high altitude version. Just a big lump of steel with a few strap on boosters released at about 50,000 ft. The boosters keep accelerating it to top of arc then it tips over and the boosters continue to push it to Mach 10 or so. Terminal guidance package steers it to island airstrip.
No more island.
“Queenslanders have been living in cars and tents…”
“I am excited to get home…”
How the fuck are you excited? You should be praying that Anastacia Palaszcuk has cheese pizza on her laptop.
Jesus Christ. You’re real Aussies.
I. Am.Out.

What’s this about?
Make yourself clear Dot.
Is that the rods from god thing?
Yes dot, make yourself clear or you’ll get banned.
From today I believe.
Ch 9 news reports are literally psychotic.
Who (regularly) watches this fucked in the head nonsense?
Never forget the years and years the shits on here excused China.
Did anyone here ever excuse China?
Most Australian manufacturing survived 10 to 20 years after the end of tariffs. What fucked it in the end was unworkable labor laws and government red and green tape.
Manufacturing didn’t run to China, it was pushed there by our fuckwit governments not realising that not only does industry need to compete, but that also that government needs to compete.
Anyone starting any sort of business in Australia needs their head examined. And the last 2 years have only added to that assessment.
Mother Lode….I also heard the reason the kamikaze were more effective against American ships than British ones was that the British used metal decks while the Americans used wood.
True enough, but the Japanese – as you previously discussed in relation to damage control – had some fair ideas about it…the RN trained them before WWI, and the Brits were masters at it.
..
Yes.
Typically incestuous.
REVEALED: New Pfizer Board Member Is Ex-Facebook Director.
No no no Dot, they are all – to a man, even Ed – steely-eyed flint-jawed rootin’ tootin’ dusty boot-having no-nonsense holdouts who would never ever put up with this nonsense.
Their barrel-stuffing South Australian import spoke for every last one of them. Repeatedly. That’s what he said. Until Pallashay turned into every bit of Andrews. Then he said it again.
Never saw Quenthland protestors break the police lines. Just sayin’.
They were probably too busy digging for AKs in Cherbourg.
True enough, but the Japanese – as you previously discussed in relation to damage control – had some fair ideas about it…the RN trained them before WWI, and the Brits were masters at it.
Although was it carrier Kaga (?) where they screwed up the damage control and managed to fill the whole hangar with Avgas vapour and then started ventilation to ensure that it had enough oxygen to go kaboom!
Back in Oz. Self isolating in Sydney for three days. Good view of the bridge and Opera House, so there’s that.
Back in Oz.
Insanity!
rickw:
That idiot reminded me of the lunatic Brad Pitt in “12 monkeys”.
Disagree.
Manufacturing was allowed to emigrate to China to make money on the difference in Labour costs.
They couldn’t and wouldn’t have done that under a Tariff Regime.
It all comes down to the question:
What’s the purpose of Australia?
To benefit Capital or to advance Labour?
Dot is right Queenslander Revin Kudd lived in a car for a night or two. Marked him for life.
Welcome home Jupes!

That might have been Taiho, which I mentioned earlier?
I’m back in a different bit of Oz. Wheat and sheep country, which is of course God’s country.
Most of the crops I saw on the way up were off, and few remaining were thick and buggery. Roos couldn’t get through them – they were bouncing off the top.
Crisp and clear cold, which is a pleasant change from the bastard misting windy cold in Mongyang this morning.
Forget it Rick. The dishonest scumbag doesn’t accept any of this. Like all leftwinger asshats he skips over what’s uncomfortable. He’s basically a social conservative with very leftwing economic policy views.
That was the Taiho.
Kaga was destroyed by multiple fuel-air explosions after 3 bomb hits effectively detonated fully fuelled and armed aircraft below decks, ruptured the ship’s avgas lines and knocked out all electrical power and fire suppression systems. The resultant fires quickly cooked off ordnance stored on the hangar deck. And these were there due to the series of haphazard arm/disarm/rearm orders coming from Admiral Chuichi Nagumo as he first set up for a second airstrike on Midway Island, only to be suddenly presented with information that the US Navy’s carriers had appeared within striking range.
The Japanese were literally caight with their pants around their ankles, first by the uncoordinated arrival of the US torpedo bombers, which were wiped out, but drew the Combat Air Patrol out of position just as the dive bombers appeared.
Just about everything that could conceivably gone wrong for the IJN at Midway, did.
Some slurs above, against Mighty QLD. Saying Qlders haven’t tipped over barricades, fought govt directives, have sucked up to Pallet-jack, & so on.
You are all so wrong to say that. The earliest & (at the time) largest breaching of Covid health directives, was by Queenslanders!
The “Black Lives Matter” protests in Queensland were about three times the size of those in any other state. Heh! How’s that for breaching just about every health directive in force at the time?
That wasn’t just a breach of health directives, it was a full Mohne, Eder, Sorpe + 3 gorges dam, sized breaching of Covid law.
Nyeh nyeh nyeh. Put that in yer pipes & smoke it.
The slandering of Qld must now stop.
Not quite home yet calli. Will have to decide when I can be arsed doing the 14 days quarantine McClown is enforcing against poxed up NSW before I can get home.
He’s a simple, simple man.
ZK2A:
How long before the Union would be willing to set up a special squad with Security Licenses + weapons to invade anyone’s home on the grounds of suspicious activity resembling slave workshop?
“Sorry mate – we got word you were operating a sweatshop in your poolroom. Just send us the bill for the front door, the back door, oh and the ceiling we rappelled through.”
Kevin Rudd wasn’t right about much, but he was right when he said this:
Errr… Dubious Honour?
I don’t even know what that is supposed to mean.
Kevin Rudd was, & remains, a first class dickhead, poonce, wanker, & a tool.
So stop playing with it, Grigory.
When you live in a state chockers with collaborators, you gotta take your acts of rebellion as you find ’em.
And energy costs. We have the world’s most expensive electricity, why would anyone want to manufacture anything in Australia?
It’s the miners and the farmers who are keeping us afloat.
..
I owe you and Zulu apologies.
That I ever allowed the opinion of another to colour my replies to you both, which it did, speaks of a huge weakness in my character.
Sorry.
That’s assuming your Good2NotGo gets approved, and/or no further fits of the Governmental vapours occur between now and February…
You should also apologize to everyone for pretending you owned this blog or at least had any rights to anything other than that turgid crap you post where you threaten everyone who comments.
Go read an economics text book, you thoughtless loudmouth. Last time someone suggested this you were horrified.
You quota queen.
I just never got past Sinc’s keen support for ‘Shanghai Sam’ Dastyari.
The reason Australian business went to China was because of the bloody mindedness of the Trade Union movement. We would still have manufacturing if the trade unions had not systematically destroyed businesses with their wild cat strikes, ever increasing wages and reduction in working hours with ever decreasing profitability .Their tactics can only mean that the Trade Unions are also in league with one world government China or they are real stupid.
Neither does China GST which Australian printers do. Our fully paid up printing factory is being sold off as I type., back space and delete.
Very true and not anything to be sneezed at either. Those thoughtless wombats who suggest “weez don’t make nofing” don’t even realize we’re the most efficient farmers and miners in the world. We certainly have natural endowments in the sectors, but we’ve exploited these attributes to the n’th degree. These are a form of making something. However, a much superior job is sitting at the bench, pulling a lever and couple of seconds. That’s making something according to the thought leadership.
…..Aaaaand I think that’s your stoush ration expended for the night, JC.
As such, I am exercising my RSA (Responsible Stifling of Altercations) training by saying the following words:
Mate, you’ve really had enough to stoush. Honest. Would you like a glass of water? Please gamble responsibly. No-one is safe until we are all safe. Can I get you a taxi? We are all in this together. All enemies of the regime will be executed. Hail Hydra.
WTF?
So now WA Union Thugs won’t have to settle for leaving shovels on the porch, they’ll be able to deliver horse heads to the beds …
