Our unit once repelled from some UH1H at Bowman Field in Louisville KY but we were forbidden to fire blanks to represent a hot LZ because the EPA did not want the noise. Our officer said later, the first casualty in the next conflict would be the EPA. There are times the keepers of the keys in the Washington Distribution Center have been educated beyond their ability to think.

It makes one smile, the US Boarder and Customs patrol with the most modern of the helicopters, yet the southern boarder is wide open thanks to the inept political figures. Did you ever notice the similarities between the political elite and the oldest profession in the world?

also the palax forward infer-read sensor would see a chinse hyper sonic missle near the sea line from very very far away! this is bescue hyper sonic misses have VERY VERY VERY VERY SUPER LARGE INFERRED SINGTURES that is also a unvodible drawback. this is bescue of how hyper sonics speeds and air desisty near the sea level on earth is just a plain giveaway. also sea rams would see those very far away and track them and shoot them down. also theres no such thing

I hope others noted the significance of the slightly less than 4 minute time taken to reload the Phalanx gun. That's the window of opportunity the enemy has to get in. The only other thing you need to know is how long the gun can fire before it needs reloading. Given the rate of fire (4,500 rounds per minute), that can't be very long. Basically, an enemy just needs to launch cheap decoys at the ship for a minute or two then send in the real thing while the defenders are reloading.
