i'm not privy to any actual secrets but just knowing how things there work and what people complain about i doubt there's anything too crazy at scale that's actually serviceable. there's are plenty of neat bleeding edge prototype weapons and tech but the military industrial complex is far too bloated and dysfunctional to achieve any real use of those things and project roll out seems to consistently take like 25 god damn years to achieve even half assed implementation by which time before they're even fully in service the tech has already been stolen and the most practical stuff somewhat replicated and implimented before we finish our deployment despite a decades long head start and we wind up with a marginally more advanced but massively more expensive version of what the enemy uses. that or after sinking obscene amounts of money the project just gets scrapped or occasionally mothballs until the material science can catch up with the ideas. > t. novafag who lives within an hour of multiple major research bases and headquarters and knows way too many military engineers, defense contractors, intel agency, and federal law enforcement personnel who are privy to secrets. randomly meeting a friends dads friend who's the head of a weapons project at a bar one night isn't exactly uncommon around here. i'm still salty about the zumwalt class of destroyers getting scrapped, failure to implement laws on our ships effectively, the railgun project getting shut down, the standardization of ammunition continuing to fail miserable, and the cost saving modular design principles that were realted to the projects still getting dragged through the bureaucratic muck. shit is so broken. it's great for the local economy but that's tax payer money at the end of the day.
