It's eventually you could, you wouldn't do this, but you could control every air defense system in the world from this room.
Yeah.
That includes ground-based mid-course defense, THAAD, SBX, C-based X-band radar, the Cobra Dane radar.
You could fire realistically Trident missiles if you wanted to off of it.
Standard missile six, standard missile two, like everything America has, you could fire from that damn thing.
Oh, man.
Dude, it's so wild to just see everything starting to network together and work.
And then the F-35 also had another update.
So, you know, counterfires like you've heard of counterfires, right?
So counterfires is basically enemy shoots a, you know, rocket at you or artillery at you, you know, indirect fire.
You then have to figure out where that came from.
Well, air defense systems are really good at finding out where that thing came from.
Like by the time your missile is in boost phase, I know exactly where it came from.
And I don't mean exactly like, oh, within this hundred yards.
No, like 13 digit grid, I know exactly where it came from.
Well, they just upgraded the F-35.
So now on top of that jet up there, dropping bombs, hunting down other targets, it can track like artillery and rockets from the ground and pass that data in real time to counter fire.
Oh, yeah.
They don't even have stands on them half the time, just holding the tube.
Eventually get to a point if I'm gonna die, I'm doing it in air conditioning.
