Will China rule the World with Cheap immitations of our military equipment?

October 15th, 2010 by eranio

China has been stealing Russian military equipment for years and copying it. The advantage is they don’t have to spend billions developing the weapons they just copy them and mass produce them on a scale unlike anything we could possibly do. The latest copy is a Russian submarine that they are currently mass producing.

How much does the Israeli military rely on the US military gear etc?

August 29th, 2010 by eranio

I know the USA gives billions in aid to Israel every year. However I was wondering ruffly at what percentage does the Israeli military use the US military’s gear, weapons etc? Do we send over our own stuff for them to use ie M16, planes, bullets, bombs. Do they use their own military inventions of some other countries?

Was this shortage of firearms and ammo caused just from a buying frenzy of the American public?

April 23rd, 2010 by eranio

Ok for a few years now there has been a shortage of ammo and some types of firearms. Many claimed it was the American gun owners fault.

Well here are some links to help you answer this question of mine; Was this shortage of firearms and ammo caused just from a buying frenzy of the American public?

Maybe one reason?

Should we cut military programs and weapons systems if it means cutting jobs?

December 13th, 2009 by eranio

For example, if we cut the F22 Raptor, we will save billions, but lose thousands of jobs involved in manufacturing the plane. Will congress allow jobs to be lost in their districts/states in order to save taxpayer money and cut un-needed programs?

So politicians think they know more than the military about guns now?

November 8th, 2009 by eranio

Basically Congress wants to spend millions of possibly even billions on dollars on new guns even though our own military is saying thats a crap idea since our guns are just fine right now and the new stuff arent that great either.
