"What are the ten greatest feats of Military Engineering in the 20th Century?."

[Mush Martin]

Ok to close up parameters it is intended to be the 20th century,


the criterion is Military engineering this would include submarines
but would exclude aircraft for example.
(edit: though individual engineering efforts by the military eg. B-29 or SR-71 would count).

I don't understand. Aircraft are products of engineering.

@ steelhead, I agree in a lot of ways, the mass production of penicillin makes
my top ten list of secret weapons of WWII

[Mush Martin]

Sorry Budda I made a late edit there.

[Mush Martin]

@ budda aircraft had to be sold to the military at first the submarine was
developed by private enterprise for war.

its subtle but a difference.

The theoretical elements of modern artillery were worked out by Napolean.
Modern Hardware refined capitalizing on it.

Satellite per se were invented by Arthur C. Clarke not the military.
they were developed by two military's agreed, and this one is up for debate.

Clark did not invent any satellite. He came up with the concept of GeoSync Com. Huge difference.

You would be correct if you considered Clark one of the earlier orbitologists.

Not so. The military had there own aircraft factories for a time.

So the wright brothers offered their stuff to the military and sold it to the
french prior to there own country. The US military was late to jump in
and no one can claim the military invented the airplane I dont think.
