Well just curious as to what kind of research programs other countries might be doing that might neccessarily be on the radar with everyone.
I know some weapons that the US military might use in a WW3 type scenario would be X-15 style fighter planes, Maybe the existance of the aurora plane would be proven. Funny thing about the x-15 is that it was last test flown in 1968. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-15
I would assume that the technology has grown significately since then. Imagine if our technology has increased at the same speed that it did in the first half of the 20th century. If it has, then you can be we have an ace or two up our sleeves.
Also I remember an article on Um a while back, talking about a gun that shot Ball Bearings at something like 100,000 bearings per minute, faster then the speed of sound, without making a blast noise.
