Are you saying that AA or radar will have trouble tracking or engaging something slowly falling in a parachute for several minutes?

How are you going to handle reentry?
And is that flying starship as expendable mission, because that's more expensive.

>>65227664
Was mostly refering to the capsule, unless your plan somehow includes exiting it at 3-400mph and having said troopers beaten senseless by tjmhe speed

wow. two platoons.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I don't think the point of this is to drop it into a contested airspace, but maybe around it.
>Use airplanes then
Things in orbit can loiter for years and drop in less than one hour when needed without requiring a landing strip. Although I would say that it is insanely expensive.

Unless you intend to pull the US from its overseas bases.

Iran what? No boots on the ground.

>What is the probability we something like this in 20 years?
id think low, 50 years sure. would be easier if you used Elysium drones instead of people and just have them loiter in space as long as you want and then drop them into whomevers asshole you wanted

>>65227462 (OP)
Why men? Just put in drones that can leave the gate on its own, have the Starfall be able to charge the drones (wireless charging onboard) with solar panels/battery so the drones have a way to return to the "base", and have the Starfall act as a gateway for network communication with the drones, Starshield constellation

Musk's retarded starship taxi would actually be really easy to shoot down.
This suborbital hop would be similar. The entry is either unsurvivable for the men aboard or easy pickings for air defense.

Absolutely no reason not to use drones. Cheaper and less risky. And if you're just gonna bomb the fuckers from orbit, why the fuck would you need a handful of unsupported boots on the ground afterwards?

terminal velocity is terminal velocity. The pucks having a larger surface area means it will move slower than the soldiers that eject from it.

This is about the impact force of entering a slipstream while going hundreds of miles per hour, anon.
You are basically hitting a wall when exiting the vehicle, going about twice the speed of someone jumping out of a C17

>>65229153
Almost entirely clustered around the exfil cost (planes scuttled on the ground) which this wouldn't impact at all
