That's kind of freaky, that you could literally land in a combat zone, and within a day or two, you have fully functional concrete buildings to operate in.
Also Railguns, lol.

Better. Science reality.
"Oh don't mind us (insert country), we're just bringing in some printing supplies."
*Two weeks later there's a full sized military base built. With Railguns*

Lightning Tanks?!

One of the weapon systems they're testing now is an energy weapon that uses a laser as a guiding force/non-solid wire/conduit to unleash a substantial amount of power onto a target that is more prone to be hit by lightening, hence enemy vehicles. A possible usage was to use said technology in tanks to negate armor. In other words, this - Just not cartoony and using a laser to keep the energy together for long range fire. Traditional armor becomes effectively useless.

Hopefully that 3D printing comes through. That has almost limitless applications.

US Navy funding 3D printed buildings
Seems the Navy has gotten on the craze of 3D printing for a sorely needed industry both in the private and public sector. So yeah - railguns, lightening guns and machines to print houses - all coming soon. Omg xD It's a Mobile Command Vehicle from Command and Conquer! That's how they did it all xD

Double header today: First off - China unveils its future of naval warfare: 4 soviet style aircraft carriers. Source This.... is big. China has already laid down a lot of technical and doctrine work down for this. They've been buying up Soviet hardware for years in aircraft carriers and been watching the US's fleet with a certain amount of.... wantonness. Now they're taking the plunge. No more mock-up carriers, no carriers in lakes - they're going for it in a big push to assert naval control over their neighbors. Though - lets be fair here. Its China. The Soviet Navy largely depends on its servicemen making due with inferior equipment and their ships, in the words of one British sailor, 'were very roughly constructed.' Its probably gonna be the same deal with China. They'll be carriers, just not as good as the label implies. However, they'll move and be a force to reckon with and change the whole dynamic in the region as China flexes more and more of its power over its neighbors. And another disaster report over the F-35. I'm sick and tired over hearing about this utterly crap aircraft failing test after test. And this is supposed to the multiuse fighter that replaces whole fleets in Western airforces?

Shit, I mean those obviously aren't a Nimitz by any means, but it's a pretty bold move in any case.

Hmmm Thats going to add a lot of tension for the 7th.
Aarrrgh, Seriously? At this point i expect the Aurora to be real before the F-35 hits mass production.
