They're making the same mistake again. Russia Unveils Stealth Fighter.

They're Making the same mistake again, first take a look at this story here, now what makes me angry is the fact that we have been through this before, back before and during World War Two the US Government and Military made several fatal mistakes when it came to technology, first was the B-17 Flying Fortress before the flight of Andrei Tupolev’s Ant-25 to the US, this shocked the US government officials into continuing the B-17 program which congress was on the verge of canceling. The next was the government officials attitude on jet technology while Germany, Brittan, Russia, and Japan was working on some kind of jet technology the US military and others thought it was impossible, it wasn’t until April 1941 when Hap Arnold, Chief of the Army Air Corps, was in England and asked his host, in effect "You know, some of my technical people are telling me, as odd as this my sound, that perhaps we should be looking at gas turbines." and the answer he gets is "Absolutely, do you want to see our airplane?" He was shown the Gloucester Whittle prototype of the E.28/39 turbojet, it was at that moment he realized the huge mistake that was made, that they had missed the opportunity for the US to be equal or superior to others jet programs, they missed one US designed jet in 1939-1940, the Lockheed L-133, {you can find images of what it would have looked like here}, and the third was the arrogant view of Japan, that they were incapable of building a fighter equal or superior to those of the west, and later in the war that Japan could build or develop jet technology, as history has shown that view was very wrong.

At this point its not the US Military that I am afraid of repeating these mistakes, its the Obama Administration who doesn't get it, as Zell Miller said about John Karry in his Speech at the 2004 Republican National Convention, I ask the same "This is the man who wants to be the Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces? U.S. forces armed with what? Spitballs?" We will be playing catch up agin if we don't slap down this Progressive Movement and the pansies in government when it comes to our Military and Brave Soldiers. These are the same types that let our ships in Pearl Harbor have no fuel.

Tell Congress and the Obama Administration dont follow in the steps of Neville Chamberlain and Jimmy Carter, allow the Millitary to get and develop the weapons it needs, And bring back the National Missile Defense!

If you haven't all ready check out a similar post I have on this subject, Something Disturbing.

In case you want to relive Zell Miller's Speech here are the links to it, its in three parts, Pt 1 of 3, Pt 2 of 3, Pt 3 of 3.

And if you are wondering about what Japan was developing try this website out, Hikoki: 1946.
Also, this website might also be of interest, Luftwaffe 46, about Germany's advanced aircraft designs.
