You just made my argument for me. glad we can establish that more powerful chips make missels more accurate lol do you finally understand why china is not allowed to have them, or need me to anwser more dumb questions that you could have just read about?

A gyroscope is not a computer chip, it’s a gyroscope.

Celestial navigation is based on cameras and processing that can be done by the kind of chip that sits on a bank card.

I think at this point nothing more is gained from this discussion. Have a good day.

Do you still think they use tech from the 1950s? they still use the same mechanical systems but have been improved with computers, making them more accurate. why is this necessary? because sending an object to the edge of our atmosphere and having it still hit its target accurately is difficult and having a powerful computer to make micro corrections every millisecond is required.

A 286 is enough horsepower to calculate changes in flight profile. Europe has launched independent missiles (France for SLBMs and Europe at large for rockets) that need exact calculations for splashdown since the 60s. And for a nuclear weapon you just up the tonnage if you’re not super precise. Anywhere within 1 km is fine and we’ve been doing this with slide rules.

I mean honestly, it’ll take you 2 minutes with an AI to realise I’m right. Try it out.
