The F22 in the image is about 7 diagonal pixels long, that is √2⋅7 pixels length. The ship in the picture is 1727 pixels long, which equates to an actual length of almost exactly 3300m.

As a bonus this allows us to calculate the barrel-diameter: At 14 pixels width, this indicates a 27m diameter or a barrel-strength of a bit over 12m. Not sure if that is enough to contain the nuclear explosion that is mean to be fired inside it…

The image is clearly a red herring to distract from the real use of the uranium. They use nuclear pumped lasers to accelerate a conventionally fired tungsten rod in the air. That's why there are four barrels, two guns and two lasers

2000mm caliber means each of those barrels are at least 2.2m (≈7ft3in) outer diameter. probably more. just for reference.

[-] Fiona@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 days ago

They have to have a lot more barrel strength though: If you look closely, the propellant charge is literally a nuke.

only a tiny one

How much is a "tiny little bit" of uranium? Asking for one of the Phosphene Girls. Is it enough to rest comfortably on a ruffled potato chip?

[-] TheOSINTguy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

Needs more AAA flac guns.

Who is this going to rescue/liberate us from?

[-] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

It can be a liberatory force in any possible conflicts, except a border skirmish between China and Kazakhstan.

Have you not seeing the helicopter blades in the schematics? This is obviously a hovering frigate

Unemployed shipyard workers

A navy f22? I’m all in! Just don’t let the kid hear about this, and don’t let him talk to Franklin. If the kid hears that a whole ass dump truck full of trash is boutta pull up he might get suspicious.

[-] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

The runway is almost long enough to land a space shuttle, you don't need a naval version of any plane to use it.

But I want a naval F22 😤😭

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
