American Military Inventions/Feats

They're actually countermeasures, which if I remember correctly are thrown out to give heat-seeking missiles bullstuff signatures to confuse it and make it hit one of the countermeasures instead of the aircraft.

Yes.
Why did you give the definition of flares?

[Ad Bot]

[The Corporation]

if that would happen they would have never made it

that's made  by a private company.
It's more of a civilian rifle.

[Decimation]

The greatest gun ever made.



This thing here is a war machine.

I am displeased by the ethnocentrism exhibited by this thread. Many other countries did far more that the US. For example:








I'm too lazy to look up more.
And I'm sorry, but stuff like this really pisses me off.
ninja - I know the Silver Dart was the second plane, but it was a huge improvement over the Wright Flyer.

[Mikoyan]

Nooooo.....
you didn't. Faaaaaar from it.

However, first powered heavier than air aircraft, yes. But had that not been done, the Silver Dart would have been the first. They where built at the same time, but the Silver Dart flew in 1909.

there's only been one country dumb enough to use them against another nation

they attacked the United States

It IS kind of funny how people forget that America committed the 2 worst acts of terrorism EVER.

only one group has attacked us since then, and the leader of that group at the time is dead now

Isn't this an American plane too?
It's my favorite plane nevertheless <3

Even the Germans use it and helped create it, you know it's good

[SlayerZ99]

Too bad the military doesnt make half the stuff. Other companies make them and the military buys them.

Most military hardware is still manufactured within the borders of the parent nation.

Therefore Military hardware produced by/in America(n(s))

I do admit that Germany is honestly my second favorite country
