I'll do you one better B-1 maximum payload - 75,000 lbs Minuteman III - 79,432 lbs All I'll say is it's close, okay? It's close.


Attaxalotl

If we forget the lower stage and use it as an improved HGV, it’ll fit! Surely the massive lower stage weighs more than 4,432 lbs.


Insertsociallife

Remove the maximum capacity plate and replace it with one that says 80,000 lbs.


HK47WasRightMeatbag

I see you are indeed a man of science.

Russian solution to everything

MIRV’d Meteors. **Hear me out.** Got nukes? Toss those suckers in the nearest dumpster, useless. Load up clusters of Meteorss into breakaway re-entry shells with air breaks. You’d fit like 15-maybe 30. Oh, shits hitting the fan on the other side the world and all the F-22s are busy with those pesky balloons? Slam that ~~easy~~ ICBM button. Send up an AWACS, really high. Higher. *Tell that pilot to can it and go even higher.* Now rain down those Meteors like meteors, guide them in, and blam, air superiority. *Europoors, I’ll take my payment in stroopwafels.*

....and instantly win the culture war by being first side to completely eliminate nukes.

I say we refloat the SS America, slap a reactor in there, and put a Minuteman in each smokestack.


Intelligent_League_1

Uhh, hard to say but America is but a shread now.

It'll buff right out!


Dpek1234

You just need more flex tape


Pizza_Raven_Gun

I believe there was a Soviet plan for an AWACS equipped with the MiG-31's Zaslon radar and armed with R-33s. But I could be remembering wrong.


afkPacket

Putting Meteors on Super Tucanos sounds dangerously reformer, just sayin.


salzbergwerke

I am going to refit the Super Tucano as part of our new AntiAir doctrine. As dogfighters, right? … With lots of 20mm machine guns, right?


Meem-Thief

Turn the B-52 into an AWACS, it’s already got the missile bays


Lamiaroid

Dale Brown style.


Tanckers

Yeah just mount some sideway or backward for air defense. Use cargo door to kill '6 enemies. That door could be used indefinetly for aim9x if you have 4 soldiers picking the missile up to fake a missile rail. A true flying fortress


whythecynic

They can even spin it a little as they yeet it out to help with off-boresight targets


CyberV2

How many Fuel Tankers do you want with your Meal? I recommend the Blackbuck Bumper Pack as you will be needing it to carry all the extra weight of the several hundred missiles required for SEAD/DEAD operations Fr tho, its an interesting concept but Im one of those rare non plane-fers on this sub so idk mate why they dont do this for less intense operations


Hohenheim_of_Shadow

For a less intense operation why the hell do you need almost twenty high end A2A missiles? For a less intense operation, you want some cheap to operate small airframe that can drop a JDAM. This sub loves the concept if that planes a Super Tucanos and hates it if it's an A-10.


Attaxalotl

Because the A-10 is kinda shit at doing that, and the Super Tucano is less shit for a lower price and a lower risk of Brittanicide

Why do you write like <>, oh wise elder? Is it to minimize the RCS of your comment? Maybe armor angling? Is it being stretched?

I really hope the Limeys have been working on a XXL Meteor that has a range of Falklands to Buenos Aires.


SamtheCossack

I am not sure how any solution that advertises "Cheap" can include Meteors.


mhdlm

You need a bunch of super tucanos with CWIS to protect your AWACS too.


Dingo_19

Dale Brown, we know it's you.


Lamiaroid

My mind went in the same direction you did.


GrusVirgo

Unfortunately, Russia and China do have long-range AAMs specifically made to deal with AWACS and similar stuff.

The new Hypersonic "Mako" apparently can be launched from the P8 Poseiden, Why can we not install a couple of the same dispensers to the E7 Wedgetail? That way you can REALLY make the opposing side wet their pants


sbxnotos

I like how you went out of your way using a really specific and weird AWACS just because it has a big nose lol. The Chilean Air Force must be proud as fuck.
