xthetenth Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 We have an F-35 pilot under 136 pounds. Quickly, find the Soviet tank that pilot belongs to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xthetenth Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 What a strange predicament they find themselves in. Wonder if their hand was forced by the whole hot as hades aspect of the F-35's exhaust. Overall it's probably well worth doing. Still maintain ski jumps are for second class carriers and paying money on the carrier deck is well worth not paying in capability in the air.

Collimatrix Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 The search is over, everyone, I've actually found an article claiming that the X-32 would have been the better JSF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 And it's on Gizmodo! EDIT: I love how that article acknowledges that the X-32 was a much worse bird, and that Boeing's was a much weaker proposal, but then goes right into AND WE'LL NEVER KNOW HOW THE X-32 COULD HAVE MADE THINGS BETTER, WHO KNOWS, MAYBE THEY'D ALREADY BE IN SERVICE.

Im telling you guys -hic- the M-48A5 is really the last modern main battle tank we need, look at much fuel Abrams consumes Collimatrix, Sturgeon and Belesarius 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxn Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 The search is over, everyone, I've actually found an article claiming that the X-32 would have been the better JSF. Maybe it's just because it's a legit three-poster and not made by Lockheed, but I can't help but love this goofy thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donward Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 I'm in Anchorage for a week and it is a pleasure to see the F-22s at Elmendorf flying around the city. Since I don't see a F-22 thread and since I don't want to start one myself for this one-off sentence. That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxn Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Synthesized audio, but still a decent overview: The third video seems to recapitulate our arguments regarding the end of the manoeuvre fighter in favour of the long range stealth boat. Somehow the authors never make the leap. Edit: I also approve of the background music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
