Fun fact: in March of 2019, a California Highway Patrol officer was stopped on the side of the road in the desert of Southern California to stop and watch F-16s flying overhead, when a particularly low F-16 made his speed radar in his patrol vehicle flicker in and out, displaying 250 mph. An F-16 has been caught doing 250 mph by the CHP.

[@games1004]

That was a good F-16 pilot, setting his "cruise control" to the aircraft speed limit of 250 kts below 10,000 feet. 😁 I'm guessing he wasn't near the big-city airports' Class B airspaces, or he would've been clocked at 200 underneath them.

This reminds me of the Swedish Grippon Fighter, which is specifically designed to be small enough that they can basically land and take off anywhere in the country, and have mobile crews that are easily able to locate and refill and restock the fighter for the next mission. Of course it was largely designed with defense in mind and so being smaller while still packing a punch is easier if you're not potentially needing to send it long ways off into the unknown.

[@Thomas-41234]

Hi, we do that with our F-18's and our future F-35's here in Finland. Every large highway is ready for fighter jet operation and the pilots train for it. We should have bought Swedish Gripen instead of F-35, because Gripen is ready for this kind of operation, but F-35 needs an army to maintain.

You know what is causing the pilot shortage? The idiocy of the military 10 years ago. I tried to sign up for the airforce in 2014 and they dug through my application with a fine tooth comb and rejected me because I saw a councilor as a kid after my parents divorced. Never on meds, never hospitalized, nothing bad but that was all they needed to reject me. Then, because they formally rejected me, none of the other branches would touch me, even after Trump loosened the requirements. I met a guy in college who was in the airforce in 2014 who said they were discharging a ton of people which led to a bunch of people leaving rather than letting themselves get discharged and the military never recovered.

[@philipthecow]

You will not know why you were rejected - they did not reject your application because of counselling! Obviously they are interested in how you coped with adversity. In fact having received counselling & being from a broken home can INCREASE your chances, IF you've shown that you coped well & adjusted. It is interesting that you blame an outside source [the military] rather than considering other possibilities...

[@AQDuck]

Sweden has done this since the cold war, all fighters since JA37 Viggen (J35 Draken had limited capabilities) were designed from the getgo to operate from roadbases across the country. The roadbases are extremely simple and mostly unmaintained with a hidden hangar (sometimes inside mountains/hills) and a bunch of "re-arm" platforms along the road. They are easy to spot from satellite, but there are so many of them and the planes move all the time so it's impossible to track. JAS 39 Gripen has a road turnaround time of ~15 minutes (which includes inspection, re-arming, refueling, etc.).

[@Thomas-41234]

There are plenty of people willing and able to fly for the military. The problem is, the application process to become a military pilot takes years. If you start civilian flight training at the same time you start the military application, you will be 2 - 3 years from a 6 figure airline salary by the time you hear back from the military. The money and time calculus just doesn't add up

[@doujinflip]

There's a shortage of pilots in general... mostly because there's a shortage of willingness in the private sector to invest in OJT in general.

2-3 years to a 6 figure salary. Check the published payscales for NA airlines. It is a myth that most pilots make very large salaries. Also everytime you change aircraft you jump back to the zero experience payscale on the type. It takes many years to get to those 6 figure payscales if you want to be a commercial pilot its much more a question of passion then pay.

[@andrewyork3869]

@alexadornato9492 I was thinking of a monthly stipend. If you agree to fly X hours for us per month, you get X number of dollars. Idk if that makes sense.

Then a fuel truck drove out of the woods to refill it. Next another truck full of bombs/rockets came out of the woods. The Harrier then took off. Lastly the first truck reappeared and collected the metal matting. The whole process took maybe 15 minutes.

This points to large units and uncommon vehicles as being more risky for detection than soldiers with small drones. Small sizes, generic units, and ubiquity are useful for blending in, as you pointed out with camo. I suspect we will see more mobile forces with smaller footprints distributed over larger areas, constantly moving to avoid detection. Defeating large, high value assets will transform from what people have thought to an asymmetric war, using a special operations approach to destroy key targets and then retreat to resupply.

Growing up I was told that when the US Interstate Highway system was first thought of they had this mind. A multi-use road system for both motor vehicles and planes. I don't think it stuck though, and I believe this idea is still spread around today because in emergencies planes do land on roadways. But this new experiment is a good step imo. This would be a very difficult thing to pull off, better start testing it now and not when SHTF. But I am not too sure this will work that well in actual use, these highways will be full of vehicles that would need to be cleared. And then the rest of the traffic would need to be diverted. This could be a big heads up to the enemy that a temporary airbase is being established there. I think if America wasn't so dependent on these roads for daily use this would be far more feasible.

Operating from temporary runways is pretty common in europe. Logistics and operational security are easier to solve before actually building the road. It’s not that hard to spot such runway driving in finland: they are always far away from dense population, and many are obvious enough to make the road feel suspiciously wide. Some double (or triple, depending on how you count) as an emergency landing sites for civilian aircraft. I’d guess it’s also safe to bet there is one or more military bunkers nearby if it was worth to ensure the road can safely handle a passenger jet. So scandinavian airforces likely know a lot about supplying such operations. The logistics need to ensure no plane ever has to land on the same stretch of road it took off from. This strategy predates computers, and it certainly predates vertical landing and take-off as well as drones. The only new thing USA is doing is not doing this on their own soil.
