Well, KH-11 for one, and that's only what I can get from my memory and confirm with Google public info, you stupid a$$wipe.

Do you make an effort at achieving your demonstrated level of ignorance, or does it come naturally?

KH-11 - sun-synchronous orbits, passes once a day usually in the morning. No real time. All the orbits are published for everybody to check.

p.s. Ignorance huh? There are different levels of it. I am just happens to know a little bit, and ignorant of science fiction.

I think its really cool that you can watertight a tank and fully submerge it.

Not that it is meant to do it ofcoarse but how long can they remain submerged any limit on time?

Ok gonna ask a dumb question here... Can it defend itself while still submerged?

kNikS

Of course but there are so many a lot easier ways to kill a tank. Besides, Russians can do a similar thing with Pchela-1T UAV and Krasnopol laser-guided artillery projectile.

And this is certainly one of those ways.

Really, how you continue to post here when you are constantly painting yourself as an ignorant fool amazes me.

A quick Google brings up this.

It's an idea that has never worked out well. The Germans tried it on some of their tanks 'way back and they were displeased with the results as well. The closest success was the Brit-designed duplex drive that ended up being used on the Sherman, but that only got the tank "swimming", not fully submerged.

How about you read the link you have posted, and see for your self that it talks only about photography. Once/twice a day max per sattellite.

Why do you think Predator drones were created? There is no constant real-time visual surveiilance from space. Yet.

I am just merely suggesting you to stop watching your StarTrek movies, and try to learn more about real things. Instead of calling other people ingorant, and being lame ignorant person at the same time.

From the page RE the KH-11:

What about that take is not real time?

-dale

lurker

So you got a static picture transmitted instantly from a sattellite once a day. Three times, if you have 3 sats.

How is that "constant"?

So you spotted a group of tanks.

Good luck locating them in 2-3-4 hours.

I prefer petrol and a wick for the hornets nest

dalem

So you admit that it is real time?

kNikS

I seen the link… it’s full of hot-talk about Yugoslavia campaign… four dozen satellites but only 13 killed tanks…

lurker

Ехactly my point. If you got a static picture, you need a time to analyze it.


When I was talking about "real-time visual" I meant "available any time day and night", constant, better dynamic.

Instant photo transmission from a sat once a day, which orbit is known to everyone is just not working.

dalem

If that's what you meant, then that's what you should have typed.
