The US Air Force is breaking new ground in warfare technology Quicksink introduced its system. The footage they shared showed that it split a ship in two in seconds. Quicksink, as its name suggests, has the ability to “quickly sink” target ships, but the technology behind this system is even more interesting. Low-cost, ordinary “simple” bombs are transformed into highly accurate and deadly anti-ship missiles thanks to this system. So how is this possible?
US Turns Simple Bombs Into Smart Munitions with Quicksink System
Quicksink is basically based on the JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) system. JDAM turns standard bombs into smart ammunition with a kit added to them; this kit air wings And GPS guidance system, turning it into a highly accurate weapon.
But the Quicksink takes this technology one step further. The laser sensor added to the Quicksink kit allows the bomb to be delivered to both fixed and mobile surface ships. ensures locking. This creates a more flexible and effective weapon that can replace traditional torpedoes.
The UAV that the USA kept secret has been revealed!
The Model-437 UAV, which is considered “top secret” for the US, has finally been revealed. So what are the features of the Model-437? Here are the details…
One of the biggest advantages of the Quicksink is its cost. Normally, a torpedo launch costs the US about 1.2 million dollars It costs a high price. Quicksink has this deadly effect only 300 thousand dollars What’s more, the system can be carried by a stealth aircraft or bomber, making it effective over a much greater range.
Shiftdelete.netAs seen in the video, during the RIMPAC exercise in July, a B-1 bomber used the Quicksink to instantly split and sink a ship called the MV Monarch Countess. The US demonstrated the power and effectiveness of the Quicksink.
Another important advantage of Quicksink is its modular and open architecture based on existing technology. This allows it to be quickly adapted to different operational needs. However, Quicksink’s range 74 km which can make the strike aircraft vulnerable to enemy air defenses.
However, it is worth noting that the Quicksink’s primary target is not warships, but less protected or unarmed merchant and smuggling vessels. So how effective do you think the Quicksink will be on the modern battlefield? Could these smart bombs replace torpedoes? Don’t forget to share your thoughts.
