  1. Nice, we need this. Close Air Support is essential, but it doesn't have to be ridiculously expensive.

  2. They're bringing them all back, slowly but surely. I'm waiting for the Wright Flyer.

  3. T-80 is now Russia's new tank! Armata, eat your heart while you circle Red Square!

  4. AI is bringing back the old planes for less than the F35. Red Flag has proven you only need so many F35s to carry out the electronic aspect in an engagement. Stealth is a time sensitive technology and there are better dog fighters out there. F15 and F16 are proven winners that still be upgraded and anti-radar coated.

  5. We've had this capabilty for years...

  6. At this rate, maybe they should install auto-inflating floatation devices. How about a skyhook?

  7. Why do you keep showing a Blackhawk?

  8. They did say it was already flying.

  9. That'd be Raytheon. 😉

  10. Definitely AI ready. There's no reason to expect it to be based on the F23 though. That's wishful speculation from fans. Of course, you never know if the AirForce brass is a fan also. They seem to think the military exists to support the air force, and not the other way around. "Not one pound for air to ground."

  11. Of course it's not a light tank. It's a MEDIUM TANK! WT#? This heavier than a Pershing is it not? It's got an assault capable gun that's bigger than most medium tanks used to have, etc. So the Army is certainly justified in dissuading us from calling it a Light Tank. I'm guilty myself. It's totally wrong.

  12. C-130 rollin' down the strip!

  13. Whatever, it's an armored vehicle. A tank is what you store water in. ⛲🐔🐣

  14. Looks good. Ahem, I don't think that tech was exactly stolen.

  15. It's not a boeing

  16. The Bradley barely survived that encounter with the T-90. It was the crews' quick thinking and excellent marksmanship with an inferior firepower that defeated the Russian tank crew. The T-90 was still viable other than losing it's external sighting components. Don't knock new technology if you haven't tried it yourself.

  17. China keeping you up?

  18. Delayed Boeing Style
