I caught the orange man talking on the radio, as I am not american I knew it was going to be something stupid but this? I thought it was a joke, an onion like thing, but nooooo. What sealed it is when in the very speech about the new 100x battleships, trump stated that he did not know why the us stopped using battleships…

    That is the theory from before they tested and found they could not meaningfully guide the dart once in flight and they would need the dart itself to be more steerable

    This is false and not mentioned by your source.

    citing unresolved problems with barrel life and a low rate of fire

    Lol.

    You were wrong about something. It’s really not a big deal. It’s worse to make stuff up to try to seem right and post “sources” that don’t even mention what you’re talking about.

      Its right in the first document I linked That is still outdated from 2019. But no please lets keep going about how I am wrong due to you posting a promotional article from the people who are selling the system that does not address anything I stated. Or you can just say the word physics again, that would I am sure help us come to an understanding.

      We do both agree that the railgun system was scrapped for good reason, just not the same reasons.

        No, it isn’t. If it was, then you could simply quote the relevant text and prove you are right. I’ll wait.

        posting a promotional article from the people who are selling the system

        Again, completely false:
